Although usually treated as separate to the adjacent porphyry coppergold (CuAu) deposit, skarns near porphyry deposits are commonly inextricably part of the larger CuAu system(s).

However, it appears the coveted porphyry coppergold and associated skarnstyles of mineralisation, which have proven to be profitable for previous miners in the region, sit atop of Native Minerals wishlist.

Porphyry deposits represent an important resource of copper; however, they are also important sources of gold and molybdenum with porphyry deposits being the dominant source of the latter. In general, porphyry deposits are characterized by low grades of ore mineralization, a porphyritic intrusive complex that is surrounded by a vein stockwork
Characteristics of Gold Skarns Gold skarns are defined as skarn deposits in which gold is the primary or dominant economic metal present. The following features should be noted about these deposits: 1. They occur worldwide along destructive plate margins (Figure 1) and tend to have a spatial and temporal association with Cu porphyry provinces. 2.
Oct 01, 2002#0183;#32;At Bingham, gold production from all nonporphyry ores amounts to about 25% of the gold produced from porphyry ores (Krulec, 1997), and at Battle Mountain, where porphyry ores are subordinate to skarns, 90% of total gold production has come

Although the skarn zones were not enhanced, the most significant result from the exploration was the intersection of a chute of massive sulphides; another indication of a potential deepseated copper/gold porphyry deposit.

Anomalies at the Fortitude Gold Skarn, Battle Mountain Mining District, Nevada). At Copper Canyon, goldbearing skarns are present in a widespread 39Ma skarnrelated, porphyry copper system, including the Fortitude gold skarn (approximately 2 million oz Au, Wotruba and others, 1986; Myers, 1994).
On the whole, from the porphyry body to surrounding rocks, there appears molybdenum in the inner part, copper in the outer part and gold in the distal part, constituting a porphyry type skarn
Abstract. About 10 6 kg (gt;30 Moz) of gold have been recovered from skarn deposits. These occurrences can be subdivided into five major skarn types: gold, iron, copper, porphyry copper, and leadzinc. Each skarn type has distinctive characteristics and can be differentiated on the basis of geochemistry, mineralogy, pedogenesis, and tectonic setting.
In recent years, a significant proportion of the mining industry''s interest has been centered on discovery of gold deposits; this includes discovery of additional deposits where gold occurs in skarn, such as at Fortitude, Nevada, and at Red Dome, Australia. Under the classification of Aubearing skarns, we have modeled these and similar goldrich deposits that have a gold grade of at least 1 g
