EGU 2014. New perspectives on the formation of porphyry copper deposits
EGU 2014. New perspectives on the formation of porphyry copper deposits
From: Frances Cooper <Frances.Cooper@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
************************************************************************************************
The traditional porphyry copper deposit (PCD) model, though still providing a general framework for the structure and complexity of many deposits, is becoming more limited in its ability to assist PCD mineral exploration. In the last decade, a significant number of the major PCD discoveries were made by drilling programs in areas with little or no exposed ore. Hence, exploration geologists are looking for new methods to recognise PCD systems beyond exposed guides. Such methods ultimately depend on improving the quality of the PCD model through new constraints on the underlying controls and variations within the PCD-volcanic-hydrothermal system.
We invite abstracts that target these controls within the following five themes: (1) The relationship between PCDs and volcanoes; (2) The chronologic development of PCD hypogene/supergene mineralization; (3) The origin and metal carrying capacity of PCD magmas; (4) Controls on metal enrichment and transport by fluids in PCDs; (5) Local or regional structural controls on PCD formation, exhumation, and preservation.

Dear Colleagues,
Given the impending abstract deadline this week, we would like to draw your attention to the following session at EGU 2014. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact one of the conveners.
