Discrimination between volcanic associated massive sulphide and porphyry mineralisation using a combination of quantitative petrographic and rock geochemical data: A case study from the Yubileinoe Cu-Au deposit, western Kazakhstan

摘要

Rock geochemical surveys have been widely used for mineral exploration in Russia and more generally, the former Soviet Union. Some conducted by VSEGEI have in addition to geochemistry, determined quantitative petrography on the survey samples.
