GRADE AND TONNAGE MODEL OF KUROKO MASSIVE SULFIDE

By Donald A. Singer and Dan L. Mosier

DATA REFERENCE Mosier and others (1983).

COMMENTS Includes all deposits listed by Mosier and others (1983) that are associated with felsic or intermediate volcanic rocks. Tonnage is correlated with copper grade (r = -0.17) and with gold grade (r = -0.19, n = 238). Zinc grade is correlated with lead grade (r = 0.55, n = 184) and with silver grade (r = 0.52, n = 249). Lead grade is correlated with silver (r = 0.55, n = 153) and with gold grade (r = 0.34, n = 124). Gold and silver grades are correlated (r = 0.39, n = 227). See figs. 146-149.
