Pyrite and chalcopyrite are both common minerals that are often associated with copper deposits. They can indicate the presence of a minable resource, but not always. There are many factors that affect the economic viability of a copper deposit, such as the grade, tonnage, depth, metallurgy, infrastructure, and environmental and social impacts.
According to the web search results, some examples of copper deposits that contain pyrite and chalcopyrite are:
- Golden Grove in Western Australia, where the Scuddles and Gossan Hill deposits are hosted by felsic and intermediate volcaniclastic rocks and have massive sulphides of sphalerite, pyrite and chalcopyrite1.
- Nifty in Western Australia, where the sediment-hosted copper deposit is composed of chalcocite, chalcopyrite, bornite and pyrite in a matrix of dolomite, quartz and chlorite2.
- Oyu Tolgoi in Mongolia, where the porphyry copper-gold deposit has a core zone of chalcopyrite-bornite, capped by chalcopyrite-pyrite mineralisation3.
