Petrology and Geochemistry of Economic Minerals and Their Host Rocks in the Besham Area of Northern Pakistan

描述：本项目支持地质野外研究 在巴基斯坦被私家侦探Dr. John W. Shervais和他的巴基斯坦人 博士生M. Tahir Shah;以及 沙赫先生在M.伊克拉穆丁在东部 华盛顿大学。 研究目标包括： 1)黄金和银分布的评估 与贱金属铅锌矿体相邻， 贵金属浓度与碱的相关性 金属矿石品位; 2）有用性评估 在寻找火山成因矿床方面的开拓者因素 高级变质地体; 3）评价 贝瑟姆地区铅锌矿床的成因 巴基斯坦根据新的地球化学数据。 沙阿先生将 在巴基斯坦的两个地区收集样本， 单一原生矿体在构造上发生偏移， 拉合尔和Pazang铅锌硫化物矿床。 他将 对这些样本进行地球化学分析， 华盛顿大学的伊克拉穆丁博士的监督下。 范围：研究将汇集，除了 巴基斯坦研究生， 南卡罗来纳州和东华盛顿大学，以及 来自巴基斯坦白沙瓦大学的地质学家 在巴基斯坦地质方面有着丰富的经验。 这项工作是 可能会导致提高对 地球化学的矿物的经济价值，并加强 巴基斯坦研究生的科学能力， 他的潜力，以促进技术和经济 他的国家的发展。

Description: This project supports geological field research in Pakistan by the P.I. Dr. John W. Shervais and his Pakistani doctoral student, M. Tahir Shah; and laboratory research by Mr. Shah in the laboratory of Dr. M. Ikramuddin at Eastern Washington University. The research objectives include: 1) assessment of the distribution of gold and silver within and adjacent to the base metal lead-zinc ore bodies and the correlation between precious metal concentrations and base metal ore grades; 2) assessment of the usefullness of pathfinder elements in locating volcanogenic ore deposits in high grade metamorphic terrains, and 3) evaluation of the origin of the lead-zinc deposits in the Besham area of Pakistan in light of the new geochemical data. Mr. Shah will collect samples in Pakistan in two areas that represent a single primary ore body that has been offset structurally, the Lahore and the Pazang lead-zinc sulfide deposits. He will conduct geochemical analysis of these samples at Eastern Washington University under supervision of Dr. Ikramuddin. Scope: The research will bring together, in addition to the Pakistan graduate student, scientists from the University of South Carolina, and Eastern Washington University, and geologists from the University of Peshwar in Pakistan who have extensive experience in the geology of Pakistan. The work is likely to lead to improvement in the understanding of the geochemistry of minerals of economic value, and to enhance the scientific capabilities of the Pakistani graduate student and his potential to contribute to the technical and economic development of his country.
