Iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposits are considered to be metasomatic expressions of large crustal-scale alteration events driven by intrusive activity. The deposit type was first recognised by discovery and study of the supergiant Olympic Dam copper-gold-uranium deposit (Olympic Dam mine), and South American examples.
Light source shaders compute the color of light emitted from a point on a light source to a point on a target surface. Surface shaders model the color and position of points on an object's surface, based on incoming light and the object's physical properties. Displacement shaders manipulate surface geometry independent of color.
