Abstract

The supply of European critical raw materials (CRMs) does not currently meet the European demand. This gap is predicted to increase, making Europe even more dependent on outside suppliers. AGEMERA is a project to help tackle this strategic problem by studying several CRM sites in Finland, Poland, Spain, the Balkans, and Zambia in different deposit types. To check the potential of the porphyry systems in Europe as a source of CRMs, the Assarel porphyry-Cu deposit was chosen as a test site. Here we present preliminary geochemical and mineral chemistry data for hydrothermal ore and alteration minerals in Assarel that reveal the potential of the deposit to source some CRMs as by-products. Further studies will combine the geochemical data with innovative geophysical methods for an improved deposit model and provide enhanced knowledge about effective exploration techniques for CRMs.

评估Assarel斑岩铜矿关键原材料的潜力:结合敏捷勘探方法和更好的地质建模的矿物地球化学数据

欧洲关键原材料的供应目前无法满足欧洲的需求。预计这一差距将扩大，使欧洲更加依赖外部供应商。AGEMERA是一个通过研究芬兰、波兰、西班牙、巴尔干半岛和赞比亚不同矿床类型的几个CRM站点来帮助解决这一战略问题的项目。为了检查欧洲斑岩系统作为CRM来源的潜力，选择Assarel斑岩铜矿床作为试验场地。在这里，我们提供了阿萨雷尔热液矿和蚀变矿物的初步地球化学和矿物化学数据，这些数据揭示了该矿床作为副产品来源某些CRM的潜力。进一步的研究将把地球化学数据与创新的地球物理方法相结合，以改进矿床模型，并增强对CRM有效勘探技术的了解。
