  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Potassic Igneous Rocks and Associated Gold-Copper Mineralization

Part of the book series: Mineral Resource Reviews ((MIRERE))

Abstract

Examples of direct associations between potassic igneous rocks and copper-gold deposits described in this chapter are, in order of increasing age: the Quaternary Ladolam gold deposit, Lihir Island, Papua New Guinea; the Tertiary Emperor gold deposit, Viti Levu, Fiji; the Pliocene Grasberg copper-gold deposit, Irian Jaya, Indonesia; the Pliocene Misima gold deposit, Misima Island, Papua New Guinea; the Miocene Porgera gold deposit, Papua New Guinea; the Miocene Bajo de la Alumbrera copper-gold deposit, Catamarca Province, Argentina; the Miocene Dinkidi copper-gold deposit, Didipio district, Philippines; the Miocene El Indio gold deposit, El Indio-Pascua belt, Chile; the Miocene Skouries copper-gold deposit, Chalkidiki Peninsula, Greece; the Oligocene Cripple Creek gold deposit, Colorado, USA; the Eocene Bingham copper-gold deposit, Utah, USA; the Cretaceous Peschanka copper-gold deposit, Siberia, Russia; the Devonian Oyu Tolgoi porphyry copper-gold deposit, Mongolia; and the Ordovician Cadia and Northparkes copper-gold deposits, New South Wales, Australia. This chapter also includes new colour photos of ore samples from gold-copper deposits hosted by high-K igneous rocks.
