Abstract

Five industry - academia field trips to Chile during the last decade of the 20th century has given us the opportunity to introduce students to the geology and mining practices for porphyry copper deposits. The links below direct the reader to various field aspects of Chilean porphyry copper deposits. Work on these links is in progress.
