Deposit Description
The Mesoproterozoic Khetri Copper Belt in Rajasthan and Haryana States, India contains large low grade exploited copper reserves that are similar in setting to those of the Eastern Succession of the Mount Isa Block in NW Queensland, Australia. Mineralisation has associated hematite and magnetite and is interpretted to belong to the iron-oxide copper-gold family of deposits. The main mines are at Khetri, although three paralle and adjacent belts with different characteristics are found centred on Khetri, Alwar and Lalsot Khankhera.
They are the subject of a paper in the monograph: "Hydrothermal Iron Oxide Copper-Gold & Related Deposits: A Global Perspective" volume 2, published by PGC Publishing, Adelaide, Australia.
