Abstract
A comprehensive study of the Kyzyk-Chadr porphyry copper deposit included determination of the composition and spatial distribution of trace elements in ore-forming sulfide minerals over the ore- hosting rock volume. The study was carried out using the mass spectrometric analysis with laser ablation of the analyzed material. Steady qualitative and quantitative elements of a “hidden” mineralogical and geochemical zonality have been identified, that are expressed in variations in the concentration of trace elements and their ratios in pyrites and chalcopyrites over the volume of the ore-bearing porphyry copper stockwork. The identified regularities correlate with the established centrifugal vector and concentric pattern of the mineralogical ore-metasomatic zonality of the ore deposit.
