Hydrothermal Alteration Mapping and Mining Implications. Landsat 8 OLI data are generally efficient in mapping hydrothermal alteration zones which correspond to areas of clay minerals (with or without some iron oxides) accumulations [16] [19]. Contrarily to most presented studies (mainly carried in open canopy or semi-arid areas), they

There are at least two stages of uranium mineralization by later hydrothermal alteration: firstly, due to magnatic residual high temperature and low salinity fluid, the temperature of main metallogenetic epoch ranges from 470 ° C to 530 ° C, salinity ranges from % to % NaCleq, and C, H, O stable isotope is -23‰ - ‰, ‰ - ‰, ‰ - ‰, …

amphibolites were originally eclogites, which were overprinted in lower granulite facies conditions and eventually in amphibolite facies in the presence of a water-rich fluid. The aim of this study is to reconstruct the metamorphic history of these metabasites, which today exist almost exclusively as amphibolites. The study focuses not only on the characteristation of the pressure …

 · hydrothermal alteration and contact metamorphism. hydrothermal alteration and contact metamorphism. What are the primary agents of metamorphism that work to change a rock into a metamorphic rock? The three agents of metamorphism are heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids. Heat is the most important agent of metamorphism because it provides the …

Hydrothermal Metamorphism Rocks that are altered at high temperatures and moderate pressures by hydrothermal fluids are hydrothermally metamorphosed. This is common in basaltic rocks that generally lack hydrous minerals. The hydrothermal metamorphism results in alteration to such Mg-Fe rich hydrous minerals as talc, chlorite, serpentine, actinolite, …

Hydrothermal alteration can be grouped into five zones: biotite-orthoclase-actinolite, epidote-chlorite-actinolite, garnet-clinopyroxene-tremolite, quartz-sericite and chlorite-calcite-clinoptilolite. The forming temperature of the hydrothermal alteration is between 120 – 360°C with the intensity ranging from very weak to totally altered. The porphyry-skarn deposits exhibit two …
