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 …

Abstract Magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) is a well-recognized petrogenetic indicator and is a common
accessory mineral in many ore deposits and their host rocks. Recent years have seen an …

Porphyry Cu systems host some of the most widely distributed mineralization types at
convergent plate boundaries, including porphyry deposits centered on intrusions; skarn …

Many workers accept a metamorphic model for orogenic gold ore formation, where a gold-
bearing aqueous-carbonic fluid is an inherent product of devolatilization across the …

The Asian continent formed during the past 800 my during late Neoproterozoic through
Jurassic closure of the Tethyan ocean basins, followed by late Mesozoic circum-Pacific and …

Apatites from the major types of mainly magmatic-hydrothermal mineral deposits (30
localities, mostly in British Columbia, Canada) together with apatites from carbonatites (29 …

While a significant amount of analytical data on trace and minor element concentrations in
sphalerite has been collected over the last six decades, no meta-analysis of this data has …

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 …

The iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) group of deposits, initially defined following discovery of
the giant Olympic Dam Cu-U-Au deposit, has progressively become too-embracing when …

A metamorphic devolatilization model can explain the enrichment, segregation, timing,
