Subject field(s)
  • Geochemistry
  • Metals Mining
DEF

A zoning of ore or minerals about a hot center with high-temperature ores inside and low-temperature ores outside.

CONT

It is... pertinent to look at the relative stabilities of metal sulphides which show a zonal distribution in such deposits in the presence and absence of chloride ions.... it can be seen that there is excellent agreement between the zonal arrangement of metals in syngenetic sedimentary deposits and the relative solubilities shown.

CONT

... the metallogenic province may show a zonal distribution of the various metallic deposits...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géochimie
  • Mines métalliques
CONT

Dans cette répartition zonale [des minéralisations], nous rencontrons des concentrations dont la paragenèse, la forme, les relations avec les roches encaissantes varient beaucoup.

CONT

[...] les faciès des cristaux présentent une répartition zonaire par rapport aux limites du granite.

CONT

[...] un arrangement zonaire avec un noyau de dunite entouré d'auréoles successives de clinopyroxénite à olivine, de clinopyroxénite riche en magnétite et de hornblendite.

CONT

[...] l'arrangement zonaire des milieux gîtologiques et de leurs minéralisations.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metals Mining
  • Geochemistry
  • Economic Geology
CONT

It has long been recognized that specific regions of the world possess a notable concentration of deposits of a certain metal or metals, these regions are known as metallogenic provinces. Such provinces can be delineated by reference to a single metal... or to several metals or metal associations. In the latter case, the metallogenic province may show a zonal distribution of the various metallic deposits.

CONT

... in the forties and fifties much emphasis was still placed on the magmatic-hydrothermal theory for the origin of the majority of metallic deposits.

CONT

In supergene sulphide enrichment the minerals of economic interest are carried down into hypogene (primary) ore where they are precipitated with a resultant increase in metal content, whereas in the case of iron and manganese ores it is chiefly the gangue material that is mobilized and carried away to leave behind a purer metal deposit.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mines métalliques
  • Géochimie
  • Géologie économique
CONT

La majeure partie des hydroxydes se trouve dans les zones d'oxydation des gîtes métalliques et dans les roches altérées [...] Oxydes et hydroxydes sont les principaux minerais de fer, chrome, manganèse, uranium, étain, aluminium, niobium, tantale.
