Deposits, prospects, and permissive tracts for porphyry and sediment-hosted copper resources worldwide, with estimates of undiscovered copper resources.
Tract name | Deposit type | Geology |
Apuseni Mountains | porphyry copper | Miocene intrusive and volcanic intermediate and acidic rocks of the Golden Quadrilateral and surrounding areas in the Apuseni Mountains of southern Romania. |
Northern Carpathians | porphyry copper | An arcuate belt of calc-alkaline volcanic and intrusive rocks that formed in a post-subduction setting due to extension, lithospheric thinning, and mantle upwelling. |
Dinaride-Aegean Region | porphyry copper | Paleocene to Miocene calc-alkaline volcanic and intrusive rocks that formed in a post-subduction environment; includes the Serbomacedonian-Rhodope metallogenic belt. |
Transylvania-Balkan Mountains | porphyry copper | Late Cretaceous and Paleocene calc-alkaline volcanic and intrusive rocks in the westernmost part of the Late Cretaceous Tethyan Eurasian Metallogenic Belt. |
Pacific Margin | porphyry copper | Cretaceous through middle Tertiary volcanic and intrusive rocks representing a series of continental- and island-arc systems accreted and superimposed onto the paleomargin of northeast Asia. |
