These deposits can exceed 1 billion tons (Bt.) of combined porphyry and skarn ore with more than 5 Mt. copper recoverable from skarn. Generally, skarns are smaller than many other deposit types like porphyries; however, skarns may occur in association with porphyry copper deposits (e.g., Arizona's Twin Buttes and Utah's Bingham Canyon host both ...
The Tethyan tectonic domain hosts numerous world-class mineral deposits. Among these, the Dewulu skarn copper deposit in Western Qinling, China belongs to the Paleotethys ore belt. The skarn and orebodies here occur as stratoids or lenses at the contact between the Triassic Dewulu intrusive complex and Permian marine clastic and carbonates.

Resource Information. Khazâd Deposits are Tier 6 (Supreme) ore resource nodes; using the skill Track Mines helps to find them. Prospector's Tools must be used by Prospectors to extract resources from this deposit. The common resource that can be found is: Chunk of Khazâd Skarn The rare resources that can be found are:
About 10 6 kg (>30 Moz) of gold have been recovered from skarn deposits. These occurrences can be subdivided into five major skarn types: gold, iron, copper, porphyry copper, and lead-zinc. Each skarn type has distinctive characteristics and can be differentiated on the basis of geochemistry, mineralogy, pedogenesis, and tectonic setting.
Each metallogenic epoch introduced its own deposit type(s), of which porphyry copper (and related skarn), followed by sediment-hosted stratiform copper and then iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG), are globally preeminent. Nonetheless, genesis of the copper provinces remains somewhat enigmatic and a topic of ongoing debate.

Skarn-type copper (iron) deposits occur in the outer contact zone of the intrusions of felsic rocks. The larger ore bodies are 250–700 m in length and 5–50 m in thickness. The mineral compositions are chalcopyrite, azurite, bornite, magnetite, siderite, and malachite. The ore-bearing host rock is felsic volcanic rock with lenticular and ...
Carbonate Replacement Deposits (CRDs) are geological formations that result from the replacement of pre-existing carbonate rocks by ore minerals, often metals such as lead, zinc, and copper. These deposits are significant sources of base metals and are of economic importance due to the concentration of valuable minerals within them.
Skarn deposits, also known as skarns, represent a fascinating geological phenomenon formed through the interaction of hot fluids from intrusive igneous bodies with carbonate-rich …
Many massive sulfide deposits have been discovered in the Upper Paleozoic rift-related volcaniclastic sequence in South China, among which the Yushui copper deposit is the most important due to its high grade. The deposit has been variably attributed as SEDEX (sedimentary exhalative) or MVT (Mississippi valley type). The Yushui copper deposit in …

Copper skarn deposits occur near many porphyry copper host intru-sions that intruded carbonate-bearing units (Einaudi and others, 1981), and skarn mineral zoning patterns may be useful in the targeting of a potentially associated porphyry copper deposit (Meinert and others, 2005). Typically, the garnet/pyroxene ratio
In contrast to traditional porphyry copper systems in a subduction setting, recent studies and exploration suggest that the Jiama deposit includes porphyry-type Mo-Cu, skarn …

Stephen Hughes, VP Exploration commented: "Initial exploration data collected at Khaleesi confirms the right ingredients for a classic porphyry-skarn system similar to other nearby major copper-gold deposits along the Andahuaylas-Yauri Porphyry-Skarn belt of Southern Peru. To date, copper-gold mineralization has been primarily confirmed in the ...
The Hongniu-Hongshan is a typical porphyry-skarn copper deposit located in the Zhongdian district. This deposit covers a total area of 24 km 2 and has a proven reserve of 1.4 Mt copper and 40 Kt molybdenum . Its ore-related intrusions are primarily made up of granitic rocks [13,14,15,16,17,18]. The limestone, siltstone, and slate of the Upper ...
Skarn deposits are classified based on the type of igneous rock that gave rise to them. The main types of skarn deposits are: 1. Calc-silicate Skarns: These are the most common type of skarn deposit and are associated with calc-alkaline igneous rocks such as diorite, quartz diorite, and granodiorite. They typically cont…
