The tectonic evolution of the Paleo-Asian Ocean during the Early to Middle Permian remains a key issue in understanding the geodynamic history of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. To address this, we conducted petrological, whole-rock geochemical, zir...

Samples of flotation tailings generated during the exploitation and processing of Zn–Pb–Cu–Ag ore from the Rudnik mine (Serbia) were investigated for their mineralogical, geochemical, and magnetic susceptibility properties. The flot...

The Cimabanshuo deposit, situated in the western Gangdese Belt, is a recently discovered porphyry Cu deposit formed in a post-collisional setting, approximately 10 km from the giant Zhunuo porphyry Cu deposit. Despite its proximity to Zhunuo, Cimaban...

Calcareous sandstones, acting as sealing layers, play a crucial role in hydrocarbon accumulation of formations with high sand content (sand content > 80%). However, the genetic mechanisms, sealing mechanisms, and effectiveness of calcareous sandst...

Understanding the influence of strike–slip faulting on deep carbonate reservoirs remains challenging. This study integrates core observations, well logging, and seismic interpretation to investigate fracture diagenesis and evaluate the impact o...

Sulfide geochemistry has been widely employed to constrain formation processes in various deposit types; however, its use in porphyry W-Mo metallogenic systems is still relatively scarce. The Sansheng porphyry W-Mo deposit (Mo 24,361 t @ 0.226% and W...

Focusing on the West African Craton (WAC) as a test bed, this protocol-oriented scoping review synthesizes indicators for orogenic gold and translates them into an auditable, map-first checklist that separates Fertility and Preservation, while delibe...

Geological interfaces are crucial elements governing deposit formation, such as silica–calcium surfaces, intrusive contact interfaces, and unconformities can serve as key symbols for mineral exploration prediction. Geological maps provide relat...

This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the petrophysical controls influencing greensand reservoirs, with an emphasis on the role of glauconite and associated clay minerals in determining porosity, permeability, and water saturation. Greensa...

The surface–borehole transient electromagnetic method (TEM) employs surface-based transmission and downhole reception to collect electromagnetic data. This configuration offers distinct advantages over traditional TEM approaches by effectively...
