The Sanjiang region in SE Tibet Plateau, and the western Yunnan region in southwestern
China constitute a collage of Gondwana-derived micro-continental blocks and arc terranes …

Continental China is a mosaic of numerous tectonic blocks, which amalgamated from
Neoarchean to Cenozoic broadly coeval with the cycles of global supercontinents such as …

The sources of fluids and metals in porphyry systems of continental-collision settings are
poorly constrained. Mercury isotopes display unique mass-independent fractionation …

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 …

This paper reviews the tectonic, magmatic, and metallogenic history of the Tethyan orogen
from the Carpathians to Indochina. Focus is placed on the formation of porphyry Cu±Mo±Au …

To aid conceptual targeting, the past two decades have seen the emergence of the mineral
systems concept, whereby ore deposits are viewed as small-scale expressions of a range of …

Miocene postcollisional porphyry Cu deposits in southern Tibet are genetically associated
with dacitic-rhyolitic intrusions with unusually high Sr/Y ratios (> 40), which have been …

Abstract Porphyry Cu deposits in China contain a total resource of~ 47 million tonnes (Mt)
Cu at average grades ranging mostly from 0.2 to 0.7% Cu (most< 0.5% Cu), accounting for …

Abstract The Sanjiang Tethyan Orogen (SJTO) of the eastern Tethyan tectonic belt in China
records a transition from Late Paleozoic Tethys realm to Cenozoic continental collision …

In the Gangdese belt of southern Tibet, Paleocene-Eocene magmas record the final stage of
Neo-Tethyan subduction and are associated with few economic porphyry deposits. In …
