Description Continental red-beds can act as a source for copper and other metals in sedimentary basins, but the amount of metal that can be leached off depends on the nature of the sandstones and the leaching brine composition. These new findings can help determine whether a given sedimentary basin is likely to host ore deposits, helping to guide new exploration
Exploitation Route Industry can use these findings to support more efficient exploration
