Linear regression and discriminant analyses techniques were applied to gold, mercury, arsenic, antimony, barium, copper, molybdenum, lead, zinc, boron, tellurium, selenium, and tungsten analyses from drill holes into unoxidized gold ore at the Carlin gold mine near Carlin, Nev. The statistical treatments employed were used to judge proposed hypotheses...

The heat capacities of Calorimetry Conference copper and of muscovite, pyrophyllite, and illite were measured between 15 and 375 K using an adiabatic calorimeter. Tables of the thermodynamic functions C°p.(H°T —H°O)/T, (G°T —H°O)/T, and S°T —S°O are presented for these phases at integral temperatures from 0 to. 370 K. At...

The author has identified the following significant results. The discovery of copper mineralization along a lineament mapped in Area 7 (La Paz) has lent credence to the use of LANDSAT 1 data as a basic step in mineral exploration. In Area 9 (Copiapo Region), a number of lineaments were found...

By using the Guinier-Hägg focusing X-ray powder camera with CrKα1 and CuKα1 radiations, new powder data for covellite (CuS), anilite (Cu7S4, djurleite (Cu1.934S), and low chalcocite (Cu2S) have been obtained from synthetic and natural materials. The powder data were treated by least-squares analysis to obtain the best unit-cell parameters consistent...

An atomic absorption spectrometric method is described for the determination of copper, zinc, and lead in geological materials. The sample is digested with HF—HCl—H2O2; the final solution for analysis is in 10 % (v/v) HCl. Copper and zinc are determined directly by aspirating the solution into an air—acetylene flame. A...

The abundance and distribution of the California poppy (Eschscholtzia mexicana) correlates closely with the copper-rich outcrop of a small porphyry-type deposit in Arizona. Chemical factors are probably more important than physical factors in determining why this species is sometimes found as a copper indicator plant....

There may be many as-yet-undiscovered porphyry copper deposits that exist as blind deposits deep within exposed rock bodies. The Kalamazoo porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit is a blind deposit present at depths up to at least 1,000 m (about 3,200 ft) that contains zoning features common to many of the known...

Mineral deposits in Saudi Arabia include a variety of deposits which were formed in many geologic environments. These include magmatic and late magmatic deposits in igneous masses, contact metamorphic deposits along the margins of igneous bodies, and stratiform sulfide deposits and veins. Notable deposits of sedimentary origin include deposits of...

The silver-gold ores now being worked in the Guanajuato, Mexico, mining district consist chiefly of argentite and native gold-silver, with minor amounts of polybasite, pyrargyrite, and some argyrodite, a silver germanium sulfide. With these are always associated galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and minor amounts of marcasite. The gangue is generally...

Copper localities that merit geological investigation are found in the western Chasai District, in North Waziristan Agency, and in the Salt Range in Mianwali and Sargodha Districts. No high-grade deposits have been .reported from these ,areas and if deposits are developed they will likely be low-grade, high-tonnage, disseminated deposits. Those...

Showings of magnetite, copper, and possible nickel mineralization in the Hindubagh chromite mining district are near Wulgai and Tor Tangi. Several hundred samples of clastic material from dry streambeds in these areas were sieved for the minus-80-mesh fraction and analyzed for copper using 2, 2'-biquinoline and for nickel using alpha-furildioxime....

Lopez Reservoir is a multipurpose impoundment that was filled during a 30-week period following a series of intense storms during the winter 1968-69. The reservoir is used for flood control, water supply, and recreation, including swimming, fishing, and boating. At full pool Lopez Reservoir has a surface area of 974...

Titanium minerals in amounts equivalent to a significant portion of present world production are moved but not recovered from mines of other commodities. Resources of this type total in the millions of tons of contained TiO2. Among the possible sources for byproduct titanium are (1) ilnenite and minor rutile detrital...

Metalliferous mineral deposits of the southeastern Pacific region include: (1) hydrothermal, magmatic, and sedimentary deposits of the Andean region, one of the great mineral belts of the world; 2) Scattered hydrothermal mineral occurrences in the Antarctic Peninsula; and 3) metal-enriched pelagic sediments, ferromanganese nodules, and volcanic rocks(?) in the southeast...

Geochemical sampling of bedrock has revealed anomalous copper, silver, molybdenum, gold, arsenic, mercury, zinc, and cobalt in meta-iron-formation in the Blue Lead Mountain area 5 miles (8 kilometres) north-northwest of Keystone, S. Dak. The anomalies are in complexly folded and faulted iron-formation. Metal content decreases sharply in the surrounding rocks....

Three types of copper deposits-porphyry, strata-bound, and massive sulfide-are described, and the distributions of tonnages and grades for 267 deposits are compared with normal and lognormal frequency distributions. The relationships between grades and tonnages are analyzed by examining the correlation coefficients of these variables. Conclusions reached include the following: (1)...

Volcanic and sedimentary rocks of late Precambrian age include four formations of volcanic rocks (three newly recognized) and four formations of sedimentary rocks, with a total apparent thickness of more than 60,000 feet. The Siemens Creek Formation, composed of: thin basalt flows, and the overlying Kallander Creek Formation, composed predominantly of...

Geochemical exploration is an important part of copper-resource evaluation. A large number of geochemical exploration techniques, both proved and untried, are available to the geochemist to use in the search for new copper deposits. Analyses of whole-rock samples have been used in both regional and local geochemical exploration surveys in the...

The Milligen Formation at and near its type locality in the Wood River area is considerably older than and unrelated to rocks of Early Mississippian age called Milligen Formation in the Lost River Range and other ranges of east-central Idaho. Conodont faunas were found in limestones of a thin upper...
