We aim to improve understanding of ore genesis and exploration success in porphyry-epithermal mineral districts. These districts can contain porphyry Cu-Mo-Au deposits (the world's major source of copper), epithermal Au-Ag deposits, skarn and sediment-hosted gold deposits. These districts continue to be important targets for copper and gold explorers, even though it can be difficult to identify the ore zones within large zones of background alteration. We will develop and test criteria that can be used by explorers to indicate prospective environments, discriminate between mineralization styles, and vector towards ore zones - be they of porphyry, epithermal, and/or other peripheral styles.

旨在提高对斑岩-浅成热液型矿床成矿机理的认识和找矿成功率。 这些地区可能有斑岩铜-钼-Au矿床（世界上铜的主要来源）、浅成热液金-银矿床、矽卡岩和沉积物金矿。 这些地区仍然是铜和金勘探者的重要目标，尽管在大范围的背景蚀变中很难确定矿区。我们将开发和测试可供勘探者用于指示远景环境的标准，区分矿化类型，并向矿带提供矢量-无论是斑岩，浅成热液和/或其他外围类型。
