Gold in porphyry copper deposits: its abundance and fate ,
Know MoreIn contrast, Cu/Au ratios of bulk ore in porphyry copper deposits would require bornite and chalcopyrite to be saturated with respect to gold at temperatures similar to those at which primary (potassic) ore and alteration are thought to form , Five of nine Skouries covellite grains and four of nine chalcocite grains contained numerous small ....
Mechanism of formation of wittichenite rims around native ,
Know Moreite around grains of native bismuth occur in-bornitelchalcocite ore This texture may be explained by localized, postmetamorphic, supergene enrichment of copper Rapid for- nfation of bornite and chalcocite through replacement of metamorphosed sulfides is indi- cated, while simultaneous formation of wittichenite took place at a slower rate...
