FORMATIONAL CONDITIONS OF MORPHOLOGICALLY DIFFERENT PORPHYRY COPPER STOCKWORKS
Formational conditions of porphyry copper stockworks of various morphological types are considered. It has been demonstrated that the shapes and ore mineralogical zonality of the stockworks, that reflect temporal-spatial trends in their development, are de-pendend on the morphology of ore bearing porphyric intrusives and petrophysical characteristics of the hosting environments. The presence of poorly permeable rock sequences above the intruding magmatic bodies, along with the fluid saturation and metal-bearing potential of the magmatic chambers, exert an influence on the ore accumulation settings and dimensions of the porphyry copper deposits.
