“…In addition to the information presented in table 75, additional copper analyses of lake and river waters may be found in tables 19, 47, and 65 of the general section of this report, in Kleinkopf (1955Kleinkopf ( , 1960, and in Maliuga, (1945). Data for groups of heavy metals, among which copper is probably the most important, may be found in Boyle, Illsley, and Green (1955); Boyle, and others (1958); and Boyle, Pekar, and and Patterson (1956).…”

“…However, the observations tend to be sporadic and scattered, and the details of the chemical behavior of the element and its occurrence in any single stream have not been fully explored. Kleinkopf (1960) reported a mean lead concentration of 2.3 f'g/1 in waters from 440 lakes in the State of Maine, with a range of 0.03-ll5 l'g/ 1. Durum, Heidel, and Tison ( 1960) reported concentrations of a suite of minor elements, including lead, for samples from major streams throughout the world.…”

“…Metals may also be found B12 GEOLOGY AND RESOURCES OF COPPER DEPOSITS in organic gels, in waterborne micro-organisms, and in suspended matter such as colloids or finely divided inorganic sediment. Kleinkopf (1960) sampled lake waters in Maine and demonstrated that clusters of lakes there contained anomalous amounts of copper, molybdenum, and other metals. In some areas he found an association between the anomalous concentrations of metals in the water samples and the known geology and mineralized rock bodies.…”

Three types of copper deposits porphyry, strata-bound, and massive sulfide are described, and the distributions of tonnages and grades for 267 deposits are compared with normal and lognormal frequency distributions. The relationships between grades and tonnages are analyzed by examining the correlation coefficients of these variables. Conclusions reached include the following: (1) Geologic factors influencing tonnage of a particular deposit type are probably distinct from those influencing grade; (2) frequency distributions of tonnages and grades approximate lognormality, making it possible to predict probability of various tonnage-grade classes and to test correlation between variables; (3) no significant correlation was found between tonnage and grade for porphyry or strata-bound deposits; (4) significant negative correlation between tonnage and grade was found for the massive sulfide subset, probably reflecting a mixture of high-grade low-tonnage massive ores, low-grade high-tonnage stockwork, and disseminated ores characteristic of some massive sulfide deposits; (5) significant negative correlation was found between tonnage and grade for the mixture of deposit types in the whole sample. Extrapolation on the basis of the negative grade-tonnage correlation shown for the mixed population seems to imply the occurrence of large-tonnage very low grade deposits, which could be important in supplying future copper needs. This extrapolation is misleading, however, for both statistical and geological reasons. Furthermore, large-tonnage very low grade deposits in the porphyry class of the population are found to be very rare occurrences. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This study was greatly helped by discussions with and data supplied by G. H. Goudarzi of the U.S. Geological Survey and various industry geologists. PORPHYRY COPPER DEPOSITS Disseminated copper deposits, genetically related to felsic or intermediate intrusive igneous rocks, are called porphyry copper deposits. Copper minerals Al
