By W. David Menzie and Donald A. Singer
U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 93-0275
This publication is a sub-model to the descriptive and grade-tonnage
model of Porphyry Copper (No. 17) published in USGS Bulletin 1693,
"Mineral Deposit Models" (D.P. Cox and D.A. Singer, editors, 1986).
The significant differences in the tonnages and grades of deposits in
British Columbia and Alaska are the basis for the subset presented here.
