Seismic forward modelling constraints for seismic ore exploration at the Kylylahti Cu-Co-Zn-Ni-Ag-Au sulfide deposit
The Kylylahti Cu-Co-Zn-Ni-Ag-Au sulfide deposit is located within the Paleoproterozoic North Karelia Schist Belt in eastern Finland about 25 km northeast from Outokumpu. The Kylylahti deposit is a part of the deformed and discontinuous chain of occurrences of Outokumpu assemblage in the Outokumpu ar...
