Sandstone type deposits are the most common type of uranium deposits in the world. A large variety of sub-types have been defined, based either on the morphology of the deposits (e.g., tabular, roll front, etc), or on the sedimentological setting (e.g., paleovalley, paleochannel, unconformity), or on tectonic or lithologic controls (e.g., …

Often ore deposits are classified after examples of their type, for instance Broken Hill type lead-zinc-silver deposits or Carlin–type gold deposits. Classification of hydrothermal ore deposits is also achieved by classifying according to the temperature of formation, which roughly also correlates with particular mineralising fluids, mineral ...

All these Au-Ag deposits, according to the classification of Corbett [12], belong to the low-sulfidation (LS) or quartz-adularia type, except for the recently described Maletoyvayam deposit, which ...

An "ore deposit" is a mineral deposit that has been tested and is known to be of sufficient size, grade, and accessibility to be producible to yield a profit. ... Classification of deposit models by lithologic-tectonic environment …

a rational and at the same time a useful classification of ore deposits have met with only indifferent success. The fundamental factor in the proposed scheme by Dr. Keyes is geological in nature. It is based upon the principle that local deposition and specific form of the ore body is dependent upon geological structures, and these largely govern

2.1.1 Classifications Based on the Use of the Metal or Ore Mineral. In older books it is common to find minerals classified, as in Table 2.1, according to the use that is made of the metal or mineral extracted from the ore. For example, Table 2.2, a classification of ore minerals, contains some of the minerals that are mined for copper. …

Genetic Types and Classification of Manganese-Ore Deposits. The scientific literature presents various classifications of deposits of manganese. In general plan, four genetic groups of deposits have been identified (see the works of A.G. Betekhtin, N.P. Kheraskov, N.S. Shatskii, S. Park, S. Roy, I.M. Varentsov, V.P. Rakhmanov, V.K. …

There are some parallels between the schemes used to classify ores and those used to classify ore deposits. Again in older texts, deposits are classified according to …

Classification of Ore Deposits. No two ore deposits are the same! However, they can be divided into broad classes eg syngenetic (BIF) vs epigenetic (vein) 10 Discordant Orebodies. Regularly shaped bodies ; Tabular veins, faults. Divides footwall and hanging wall ; Tubular pipes or chimneys (vertical) and mantos (horizontal) Irregularly shaped ...

An ore deposit is a mineral deposit that can be produced to make a profit. Thus, all ore deposits are mineral deposits, but the reverse is not true. Many factors control the profitability of an ore deposit. We call the amount of known ore in a deposit the …

Mining, the Environment, and Politics; A mineral deposit is a place in Earth's crust where geologic processes have concentrated one or more minerals at greater abundance than in the average crust. An ore deposit is a mineral deposit that can be produced to make a profit. Thus, all ore deposits are mineral deposits, but the reverse …

Metallogenic classification of ore and mineral deposits. Currently, ore deposits are differentiated as types that are haphazardly, not systematically, named and do not follow a logical system. Deposit types of gold, for example, in order of decreasing endowment and overall economic importance, comprise the following:

The absence of a genetic classification of ore-forming processes is the result of a rather slow-paced accumulation of knowledge in ore-forming processes, which, in its turn, could be explained by ...

2) Concentration effected by introduction of substances foreign to the rock. a. Origin independent of igneous activity. By circulating atmospheric. waters at slight or moderate depth. b. Origin dependent upon the eruption of igneous rocks. 1. By hot ascending waters of uncertain origin, but charged with.

Three principal systems of classification of ore deposits of magmatic affiliations are in current use—the Lindgren depth-zone classification, the Niggli volcanic-plutonic classification, and the Schneiderhöhn oreassociation classification. These are examined critically in the light of general principles of classification, and some ...

Ore deposit classifications attempt to group ore bodies which share certain common characteristics. Ideally, by grouping similar deposits together we can pool information and learn facts which might be useful in the discovery of similar ore deposits. To be useful an ore deposit classification should: •be easily applied in the field

Ore Deposits of Magmatic Origin: their Genesis and Natural Classification.. Prof. Dr. Paul Niggli. Translated from the original German edition by Dr. H. C. Boydell.

An ore deposit is a geological anomaly in which metals have been concentrated in a higher abundance than that of the neighboring parent rock. Ore is a classification of rock that describes an economically viable block, from which metal or minerals can be extracted profitably. An ore deposit model is an extensive organization of information ...

Modified Lindgren's classification: Modified in 1985 to conform with Lindgren's original basis for classification. Only the term "epithermal" was retained (Table 3)! Still a very popular classification! Evans (1997): classified ore deposits on the basis of their "Geologic Setting" (Table 4). The classification is very simple, but it ...

Classification of Ore Deposits. Ore deposits are usually classified by ore formation processes and geological setting. For example, SEDEX deposits, literally meaning "sedimentary exhalative" are a class of ore deposit formed on the sea floor (sedimentary) by exhalation of brines into seawater (exhalative), causing chemical precipitation of ...

Classification of ore deposits. Ore deposits are usually classified by ore formation processes and geological settings. For example, SEDEX (sedimentary exhalative) deposits, are a class of sedimentary deposits formed on the seafloor by the "exhalation" of brines into seawater. In other words, when brines (waters with dissolved minerals) mix ...

The first genetic classification of ore deposits to win wide acceptance was that initially proposed by Waldemar Lindgren in 1906 and last revised by him in 1933. As ideas on the genesis of ores have undergone change in the thinking of geologists, the Lindgren classification has come under attack mainly by two groups. ...

1. Introduction. In this contribution, I will firstly attempt to define the concept of a mineral system then I suggest a classification of mineral systems, following which I will look at what is generally understood in the present context for convergent, transform and divergent plate margins; followed in turn by a rather systematised succinct overview of …

Table 1.1 summarizes the important classification schemes and identified groupings. Among these classifications, the most widely accepted by economic geologists is the genetic classification which is broadly based on the supposed origin of the mineral deposits and ore-forming processes.
