Spectrometry can be used to map the alteration foot print of a porphyry copper deposit
|
The Casino deposit is a Cu-Mo porphyry deposit located in Yukon. |
|
 |
Gamma ray spectrometry detected potassium enrichment due to potassic alteration associated with the porphyry copper deposit. |
 |
Low eTh/K ratios indicate potassium enrichment relative to normal lithological signatures, indicating that the potassium anomaly is due to alteration. |
 |
A stacked profile clearly shows the relationship of the radioelements and the magnetic response over the deposit. |
