West Desert Has Very Similar Geology to Bingham Canyon.... Bigham Canyon Description (Taken from Wikipedia):
The Bingham Canyon ore deposits occur in the Bingham nappe. They are a porphyry copper deposit, formed by a quartz monzonite porphyry intruded into sedimentary rocks. They exhibit a concentric alteration pattern and mineralogic zonation around the Bingham stock. These zones include a central core containing magnetite, followed by "a molybdenite zone low in copper, a bornite-chalcopyrite-gold higher grade copper zone, a pyrite-chalcopyrite zone, a pyrite zone, and an outermost lead-zinc zone."[10]:E1,E8
Structurally, Late Paleozoic rocks were thrust faulted over the Precambrian craton during the Cretaceous Sevier orogeny. These rocks were later intruded and altered in the Tertiary by granitoid rocks. This igneous event was the source of deposition of gold, silver and other base metals.[10]:E4
Copper and molybdenum sulfide minerals are dispersed in the intruded stock and in the adjoining carbonate sedimentary skarns.
West Desert Description:
West Desert project seeks to expand the underground zinc sulphide resource as well as create a better geological context for this skarn deposit. The 2014 feasibility study was for a 6,500 tpd underground milling-flotation mine that generates 1.6 billion lbs zinc, 148 million lbs copper, 14.5 million tonnes magnetite, 569 tonnes indium and minor gold and silver credits. Molybdenum exists at depth...
