Abstract Graphite Creek is an unusual flake graphite deposit located on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, USA. We present field observations, uranium-lead (U–Pb) monazite and titanite geochronology, carbon (C) sulfur (S) stable isotope geochemistry, Raman spectroscopy data from this that support a new model of ore genesis in high-grade metamorphic environments. The within second sillimanite zone Kigluaik Mountains gneiss dome. Flake graphite, hosted sillimanite-gneiss quartz-biotite paragneiss,...
The Monakoff iron oxide–Cu–Au (IOCG) deposit, located to the north east of Cloncurry within Eastern Succession Mount Isa Inlier, Queensland, Australia, is characterised by high concentrations F and Ba, with a host other enriched elements including Co, Ag, Mn, REE, U, Pb, Zn Sr. This gives deposit characteristic gangue assemblage dominated fluorite, barite calcite. nearby E1 25 km NNE Monakoff, large Ernest Henry 3 west E1, also contain abundant calcite in late stage assemblages. three...
Abstract Iron oxide–Cu–Au (IOCG) deposits encompass a range of ore body shapes, including strata-bound replacement ores and hydrothermal breccias. We use the implicit method to make detailed three-dimensional geological model IOCG in Cloncurry District, E1 Group, elucidate structural controls on mineralization. This is compared with nearby, world-class, Ernest Henry breccia-hosted deposit. Cu–Au mineralization Group occurs as structurally controlled, mainly strata-bound, bodies hosted...

Tungsten (W) is used in a variety of industrial and technological applications has been identified as critical mineral for the United States, India, European Union, other countries. These countries rely on W imports mostly from China, which leaves them vulnerable to supply disruption. Consequently, U.S. government current initiative understand domestic resource potential. The eastern Alaska portion Yukon-Tanana Upland (YTU), prospective skarn deposits, major source global supply. regional...

Geological sequestration of for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has been in use decades, but it now represents a potentially economical method mitigating anthropogenic output. However, current understanding the interaction between injected and reservoir rock is limited prevents accurate estimation capacity. Delineating diagenesis useful predicting post- injection changes porosity permeability. The Albian Donovan Sand member Rodessa Formation, Citronelle Field, Alabama, subject an ongoing...
