Metallogenic province

Each deposit type is distributed in a different metallogenic province (Fig. 1.3) (Tat-sumi, 1970). Epithermal vein-type deposits occur in Miocene-Pliocene volcanic terrain.

The causes for the different site of hydrothermal activity (submarine and subaerial environment) could be considered in terms of tectonic and geologic evolution of this metallogenic province from middle Miocene to Pleistocene.

Many detailed studies have focused on local-scale geochemical anomalies for ore deposits. Limited attention has been paid to the regional geochemical patterns related to gold ore clusters or provinces. In this paper, we use different densities of data to display multi-scale geochemical patterns related to ore deposits, deposit clusters and metallogenic provinces of the Carlin-type gold deposits in the southwest of China. 

Geochemical provinces related to Carlin-type metallogenic provinces can be delineated by the 1 1,000,000 map at a density of one datum per 100 km. ... 

Uranium mineralization in the CMB is characterized by a diversity of style and host rocks, and it is naive to suppose that a single genetic model can explain all its variations. Like many metallogenic provinces in which incompatible (or lithophile ) elements are important, the CMB of Labrador seems to represent an area in which U has been repeatedly and perhaps sequentially concentrated, and... 

The Bi—Mo-S system was investigated by Stemprok31) with respect to mineral occurrences of the tin-tungsten-molybdenum ore type 67). In some metallogenic provinces mineral assemblages such as bismuth + bismuthinite (Bi2S3) + molybdenite (MoS2) are frequently found, because bismuth has a much lower affinity to sulfur as compared with molybdenum.
