Abstract: Mesgaran copper deposit is located in Sarbisheh city of South Khorasan province of Iran. To investigate the geochemical changes of the elements with increasing depth in the deposit, geochemical sections for important minerals related to mineralization in the area including copper, lead, zinc and cobalt were drawn for 9 exploratory boreholes. In these sections, the trend of changes of different elements versus depth is shown and the resulting diagrams were drawn for different boreholes. As a result, there is a significant relationship between the elements. With increasing the drilling depth, the amount of copper decreased and the amount of copper in each section was determined according to its cause. Keywords: Geochemistry, Copper deposit, Exploratory borehole, geochemical section.

Gejiu tin ore deposit is a famous tin-polymetallic deposit in the world because of its enormous metal reserves. Besides tin, there are copper, lead, zinc, silver, iron, sulphur, tungsten, bismuth, indium and rare earth elements. It was believed that there mainly are skarn-type tin deposit, stratiform tin deposit and basalt-type copper deposit in Gejiu tin orefield. The stratiform tin deposit are distributed in Lutangba, Malage and Huangmaoshan, which are hosted by carbonate rocks of Gejiu formation in Middle Triassic Series. 40Ar-39Ar dating of cassiterite from the sratiform tin deposit in Lutangba yields plateau age of 202.18±2.35Ma and isochron age of 206.81±3.23 Ma respectively. The ages are obviously older than those of the ore of the skarn type deposit of the Yanshanian epoch.The mineralization is the seabed exhalative hydrothermal sedimentary mineralization of the Indosinia epoch.

A double reversal trial with three, 4-week periods was used to determine the effect on milk quality of feeding dehydrated poultry waste to lactating dairy cows. Fifteen cows were fed a control ration for 4 weeks (Period 1), followed by an experimental ration containing dehydrated poultry waste for 4 weeks (Period 2), and then by the control ration for 4 weeks (Period 3). Milk was collected daily and scored by five judges using the ADSA milk flavor scoring guide. Milk compsition (fat, protein, lactose, and solids-not-fat) was determined on alternate days. During Periods 2 and 3 weekly composite samples were collected to determine concentrations of cadmium, copper, lead, zinc, and tocopherol. No significant differences were found in any of the milk quality factors studied.

Levels of copper, lead, zinc and cadmium in sediments, waters and mussels (Mytilus edulis) from Corio Bay (Vic.) were measured on two occasions in 1977. The bay has restricted water exchange with Port Phillip Bay and is known to have received a major input of cadmium. The respective concentrations of copper, lead, zinc and cadmium in the sediments were 2-50,2-2l0,4-398 and up to 12.6 �g/g; in the unfiltered waters, I .5-25, <0.4-11, 3.9-67 and 0.11-5.6 �g/l; and in the mussels, 4.8-21. 1.2-9.7, 105-110 and 9.8-53 �g/g on a dry weight basis. The observed levels of heavy metals are compared with threshold levels reported in the literature as causing significant interference with growth of phytoplankton and nutrient cycling by bacterial processes.
