The recent discovery of large porphyry copper deposits (PCDs) associated with Miocene (22–
12 Ma) granitoid magmas in the eastern section of the Paleocene-Eocene Gangdese …

Ore systems are located in zones of enhanced and focused heat and fluids flux within the
lithosphere. In order to target deep ore deposits under cover, a better understanding of …

We derive a novel method for determining the oxidation state of a magma as zircon
crystallized, with a standard error of±0· 6 log unit ƒO2, using ratios of Ce, U, and Ti in zircon …

Jiama is a giant skarn-porphyry deposit in southern Tibet, southwestern China. It is the
largest Cu (~ 7.4 Mt), second largest Au (~ 208 t), and fourth largest Mo (~ 0.62 Mt) skarn …

It has been widely accepted that magmas genetically linked to porphyry (-skarn) Cu (Mo)
deposits are commonly oxidized. Recently, using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma …

The redox sensitivity of Ce and Eu anomalies in zircon has been clearly demonstrated by
experimental studies, and these may represent an important tool in the exploration for …

In-situ analysis of minerals, such as zircon hafnium (Hf) and oxygen (O) isotopes, has been
pivotal in investigating magmatic evolution and related ore systems. In order to better …

The formation of the continental crust in the early Earth, and the geodynamics that drove it,
are fundamental to understanding the evolution of our planet, but remain intensely debated …

The Jiaodong gold province in northeastern China is the country's premier gold resource
and globally one of the most important gold provinces. The late Early Cretaceous gold …

Increases in the magnitude of positive Ce anomalies in zircons from igneous rocks are often
interpreted to be controlled by progressive melt oxidation and have been used to provide …
