Global data for measured Fe 2 O 3/FeO ratios and Cu contents in unaltered volcanic and
intrusive arc rocks indicate that, on average, they are slightly more oxidized than other …

Porphyry deposits supply most of the world's Cu and Mo resources. Over 90% of the
porphyry deposits are found at convergent margins, especially above active subduction …

Phanerozoic orogenic gold mineralization at craton margins is related to the metasomatism
of the lithospheric mantle by crustal material. Slab subduction transfers Au from the crust to …

Magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits in collisional orogens are new targets for modern
mineral exploration, yet it is unclear why they preferentially occur in some specific tectonic …

Adakite was originally proposed as a genetic term to define intermediate to high-silica, high
Sr/Y and La/Yb volcanic and plutonic rocks derived from melting of the basaltic portion of …

Porphyry ore deposits are the source of much of the copper, molybdenum, gold and silver
used by humans. Porphyry ore typically forms in magmatic arcs above subduction zones …

Metals such as Cu, Mo, Au, Sn, and W in porphyry and related epithermal mineral deposits
are derived predominantly from the associated magmas, via magmatic–hydrothermal fluids …

Porphyry copper deposits account for more than 80% of the world's total Cu resources.
However, the formation mechanism and controlling factors of porphyry copper deposits …

Porphyry copper systems supply about 75% of the world's copper. They form above
subduction zones and are preferentially associated with calc-alkaline magmas,. Such …

Long-term couplings between the subducting and overlying plates are very important to
understanding plate tectonics, in particular intraplate evolutions. Geological records of this …
