It introduces part icipants to various types of porphyry deposits\, styles of mineralization and alteration through field exercises and background lectures. In particu lar\, participants evaluate alteration types associated with both alkalic Cu-Au and calc alkalic Cu-Mo porphyry systems. Evening lectures provide in sight and context for the porphyry deposits\, as well as an excellent oppo rtunity for discussion and socializing.  \n\nABOUT THE REGION The course takes place at Highland Valley Copper near Kamloops and Copper Mountain d istrict\, near the town of Princeton.  These deposits include examples of calc alkalic Cu-Mo and alkalic Cu-Au porphyry deposits\, respectively\, w hich represent an important part of British Columbia’s mineral endowment .  Participants also learn about the regional geology to provide context for the Late Triassic arc environment\, whence the deposits formed.  The region is well-exposed\; open pits\, roadcuts\, and surrounding outcrops p rovide a fantastic natural laboratory.   CLICK FOR ROUTE MAP\n\nPRACTIC AL MAPPING TECHNIQUES Course exercises provide an introduction to the prac tical techniques for porphyry deposit mapping\, including their alteration \, lithology\, mineralization and associated structures. The exercises emp hasize field techniques and methodologies\, as well as alteration characte rization as it applies to porphyry exploration. Participants are exposed t o the Anaconda Mapping Method for bench mapping exercises\, and core-loggi ng. Drill core data also provides opportunity to examine application of li thogeochemical and SWIR data for mapping and exploration.   \n\nPartici pants in this course will be a mix of industry and MDRU graduate students and researchers. All participants should be comfortable in open pits and o n uneven terrain\, and have appropriate boots and clothing. \n\n \;\n LOCATION\nKamloops and Princeton\, British Columbia\, Canada\nCLICK FOR RO UTE MAP\n\n \nCOURSE LEADERS\nFarhad Bouzari (MDRU)\, John Ryan (Teck)\, and Michelle Campbell (Hudbay Minerals Inc.). \n\n \nTRANSPORTATION\n M ini Van ground transportation departs Vancouver June 3th and returns to Va ncouver June 8th.
