The Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold porphyry deposits arc located 6S0 kilometres south of Ulaan Baa tar in the south Gobi region of Mongolia. Copper mineralisation was first discovered in the Bronze age. During the late 1990’s extensive exploration including drilling was conducted by ВНР.

Малмыжская золото-меднопорфировая система (далее «Малмыж») была выявлена в 2005-2007 гг горнодобывающей компанией Phelps Dodge Corporation (США) на основе
анализа геологических отчетов советских и российских геологов и в результате проведенных затем полевых работ. Эта компания, являвшаяся в то время одним из крупнейших производителей меди в мире, через учрежденные ею российские дочерние предприятия проводила на Дальнем Востоке России поиски крупных золотомеднопорфировых и собственно золоторудных месторождений. Общее руководство работами осуществляли региональный менеджер по развитию новых проектов Мак Кэнби (Mac Canby) и главный геолог российского филиала компании А.Б. Волков. В 2008 компания, а с нею и Малмыжский проект, были приобретены компанией Freeport-McMoRanCopper&Gold Inc. (США), владеющей крупнейшим в мире золото-меднопорфировым месторождением Grasberg в Индонезии <...>

Комментарии к "Классификация и отчет о минеральных ресурсах для жильных месторождений золота с высоким эффектом самородка"

This text consists of two parts, comments on “Classification and Reporting of Mineral Resources for High-Nugget Effect Gold Vein Deposits,” by S.C. Dominy, P.R. Stephenson and A.E. Annels, Volume 10, No. 3, pp. 215-233, and related comments on some features of the JORC Code.

Проявление золоторудных гнезд в окварцованных зонах шахты Гвинфинидд: геологическое объяснение эффекта самородка

Gold-bearing quartz reefs commonly show extremely erratic and unpredictable grade variation, although gross geological continuity may be good. This type of variation is often described as being nuggety or having a high nugget effect and can be measured quantitatively using the semivariogram. Understanding of geological features such as reef texture and structure will provide improved models for the interpretation of assay data, drill core descriptions, etc.

Оценка минеральных ресурсов структурно-сложных и прерывающейся минерализации с применением нелинейной геостатистики: на примере изучения мезотермального золотого оруденения Северной Канады

An estimation of resources of structurally complex gold lodes and stockworks represents a challenging task for geoscientists due to the complex geometry of the lodes and discontinuous grade. In the present case study, the resource of a gold stockwork has been estimated by uniform conditioning after the lode has been subdivided into geostatistically defined domains using the indicator probability model.

The Alpine-Balkan-Carpathian-Dinaride (ABCD) belt is one of the world’s oldest mining areas and played a major role in the history of European civilizations, from well before the peak of the Greek and Roman civilizations up untilthe present day. Today, it is Europe’s premier Cu-Au (-Pb-Zn-Ag) province, especially for gold-rich deposits associated with calc-alkaline magmatism, which have become a focus of renewed exploration interest after the political change in the eastern part of CentralEurope. The Alpine–Balkan–Carpathian–Dinaride metallogenic and geodynamic province is part of the AlpineHimalayan orogenic system which extends from western Europe through Iran and the Himalayas to China and Malaysia.

The Asian continent formed during the past 800 m.y. during late Neoproterozoic through Jurassic closure of the Tethyan ocean basins, followed by late Mesozoic circum-Pacific and Cenozoic Himalayan orogenies. The oldest gold deposits in Asia reflect accretionary events along the margins of the Siberia, Kazakhstan, North China, Tarim–Karakum, South China, and Indochina Precambrian blocks while they were isolated within the Paleotethys and surrounding Panthalassa Oceans. Orogenic gold deposits are associated with large-scale, terrane-bounding fault systems and broad areas of deformation that existed along many of the active margins of the Precambrian blocks. Deposits typically formed during regional transpressional to transtensional events immediately after to as much as 100 m.y. subsequent to the onset of accretion or collision. Major orogenic gold provinces associated with this growth of the Asian continental mass include:

Совет Министров СССР постановлением от 30 ноября 1981 г. утвердил новую «Классификацию запасов месторождении и прогнозных ресурсов твердых полезных ископаемых». В соответствии с этой Классификацией ГКЗ СССР при участии Министерства геологии СССР и Министерства цветной металлургии СССР разработана Инструкция по ее применению к золоторудным месторождениям.
Выполнение требований Инструкции обязательно для всех организаций, независимо от их ведомственной подчиненности, при разведке и разработке золоторудных месторождений, проектировании предприятий по добыче и переработке руд.
С выходом данной Инструкции утрачивает силу «Инструкция по применению Классификации запасов к коренным месторождениям золота», изданная в 1961 г.
