Summary: This study builds an integrated and simplified model of skarn-type Pb-Zn deposits and uses numerical simulation to describe the formation of mineralization. The results provide useful information for metallogenic research of skarn-type deposits and magmatichydrothermal systems. However, the method used in this research has limitations and future development is needed for more accurate calculations and testing data.

Summary: A model's expected generalization error is inversely proportional to its training set size, and artificially expanding the training set size can increase prediction accuracy. This study proposes using autoencoders, variational autoencoders, and Wasserstein generative adversarial networks for time series augmentation, which significantly improves regression accuracies.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the geochemical characteristics of the largest polymetallic skarn deposit, the Ruwai deposit, in Borneo. The whole-rock geochemical analysis shows that the skarn is enriched in metals derived from magma, such as Ag, Nb, Co, La, Cu, V, Zr, and Ti. Additionally, elements like As, Pb, and Se are enriched in the skarn, indicating their significant contribution from the metalimestone. Moreover, the analysis of sulfides reveals certain trace metal content patterns that can be utilized as a tool to determine the center of the hydrothermal system in the deposit.

Summary: This study proposes a time-series anomaly detection framework for multiple scenarios that can capture both long-distance temporal correlations and potential relationships between features. By using parallel transformer GRU as the information extraction module and autoencoder for data reconstruction, the model achieves high detection rate and accuracy for rare anomalies.

Summary: A review of H2-rich gases in continental rocks found that they are mainly located near orogenic gold deposits. Two types of geomorphological features, barren ground depressions and small white spots, were observed near orogenic gold deposits. Point pattern analysis revealed that the white spots are self-organized, similar to vegetation patterns associated with termite mounds and fairy circles. A geochemical model was proposed to explain the relationship between orogenic gold deposits, H2 emanations, and geomorphological features.

Summary: Geochemical surveys follow a data lifecycle of generation, management, and usage. Currently, predictive analytics is mostly integrated into the usage stage. This study predicts elemental concentrations in lake sediment geochemical data and explores the integration of predictive analytics across the entire data lifecycle. The results demonstrate the potential of modernizing legacy geochemical data to support time-sensitive mineral exploration and propose a new framework called predictive geochemical exploration.

Summary: This paper proposes a mixed-type data generation model based on generative adversarial networks to synthesize fake data that have the same distribution as real data. The model is able to supplement the lack of training sets and increase the number of available samples. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better performance in preserving the intrinsic distribution compared to other deep learning-based generation algorithms.

Summary: This study applies PCA and K-means clustering for data dimension reduction and grouping of multivariate whole-rock lithogeochemical data, aiming to provide a non-biased classification method for dolomite samples useful in exploration vectoring. The results show that PCA can explain 79.69% of dataset variance with three principle components, while K-means clustering reflects relative contents of detrital, biogenic, and hydrothermal components in the marble protoliths. Spatial analysis reveals systematic distribution patterns relative to known deposits, offering an exploration guide.

Summary: In recent years, deep autoencoder networks (DANs) have shown great potential in recognizing multi-element geochemical anomalies related to mineralization. A new deep learning architecture called Info-DAN, which chains the information maximization (Infomax) processor to the training network of stacked autoencoders, was proposed to deal with the issues of redundant mutual information and mixed information of elemental concentration data. The Info-DAN technique was applied to stream sediment geochemical data for recognition of metal-vectoring geochemical anomalies, and the results showed that compared to a stand-alone DAN, Info-DAN revealed a stronger spatial correlation between ore-controlling fractures/faults and locations of known metal occurrences.

Summary: Apatites are important for recording the magmatic-hydrothermal processes, and in this study, in-situ textural, geochronological, and geochemical analyses were conducted on apatite grains from representative Fe skarn deposits. The results show multiple generations of apatite and indicate fluid meta-somatism and metasomatism as the controlling factors for iron ore formation. The study also highlights the role of F and Cl contents, as well as oxygen fugacity, in Fe leaching and deposition.

Summary: Strong noise can disrupt the recorded seismic waves and negatively impact subsequent seismological processes. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of seismological data, we introduce MATamf, an open-source MATLAB code package based on an advanced median filter (AMF) that simultaneously attenuates various types of noise and improves S/N. Experimental results demonstrate the usefulness and advantages of the proposed AMF workflow in enhancing the S/N of a wide range of seismological applications.
