The Togiak-Tikchik complex of southwestern Alaska, a replacement for the Gemuk Group: Stratigraphic nomenclature that has outlived its time The Togiak-Tikchik complex of southwestern Alaska, a replacement for the Gemuk Group: Stratigraphic nomenclature that has outlived its time
During early exploratory reconnaissance of southwestern Alaska in the 1940s and 1950s, the term "Gemuk Group" was used to name a varied assemblage of sedimentary and volcanic rocks in southwestern Alaska. Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, the name was broadly applied in the region; yet by the end of the 1960s, it was no longer in use, and later maps assigned the rocks originally in...

Statistical guides to estimating the number of undiscovered mineral deposits: an example with porphyry copper deposits Statistical guides to estimating the number of undiscovered mineral deposits: an example with porphyry copper deposits
Estimating numbers of undiscovered mineral deposits is a fundamental part of assessing mineral resources. Some statistical tools can act as guides to low variance, unbiased estimates of the number of deposits. The primary guide is that the estimates must be consistent with the grade and tonnage models. Another statistical guide is the deposit density (i.e., the number of deposits per...

Porphyry copper deposit density Porphyry copper deposit density
Estimating numbers of undiscovered mineral deposits has been a source of unease among economic geologists yet is a fundamental task in considering future supplies of resources. Estimates can be based on frequencies of deposits per unit of permissive area in control areas around the world in the same way that grade and tonnage frequencies are models of sizes and qualities of undiscovered...
