If an original deposit contains arsenic, secondary arsenic minerals will form as well. For example, when examining Porphyry Copper, bayldonite, chenevixite, conichalcite, clinoclase, and olivenite are among the secondary minerals commonly found.eposit contains arsenic, secondary arsenic minerals will form as well. For example, when examining Porphyry Copper, bayldonite, chenevixite, conichalcite, clinoclase, and olivenite are among the secondary minerals commonly found. Identifying these arsenate-bearing minerals is essential to exploration. The challenge is distinguishing between the different types of arsenate-bearing minerals in porphyry copper deposits.
