Understanding of, and Exploration for, Epithermal and Porphyry Deposits: Processes, Transitions and Variations

Course Presenter: Prof Jeffrey Hedenquist

Course Content:

• The nature of active hydrothermal fluids from intrusioncentred volcanic-hydrothermal and geothermal systems, the processes that occur in these systems, and the exploration
  insights that come from their understanding.
• The features of deposits formed in different epithermal environments and the transition to the tops of porphyry deposits, with numerous case studies from around the world.
• Variations among epithermal deposits, and differences from the end-member (model) characteristics, with exploration guidelines highlighted. (It is essential to treat every exploration
  prospect on its own merits, rather than generalizing and missing the mineralized portion of a deposit that does not neatly fit a current, in-vogue model.)
