We present a review of frontier research advances in the investigation of cryptic structures
that transect the South American Andes at oblique strike directions. The intersections …

Porphyry Cu deposits range over five orders of magnitude in size (< 0.01 to> 100 Mt of
contained Cu) despite common and reproducible ore-forming processes across continents …

In the central Andes, giant porphyry copper deposits of similar ages group into discrete
geographic clusters that are regularly spaced and aligned within orogen-parallel belts. This …

Subduction zone magmatism is a major control of volcanism, the generation of modern
continental crust and the formation of economically important porphyry Cu–(Mo–Au) …

Some of the largest magmatic-hydrothermal copper ore deposits and deposit clusters are
associated with arc-oblique fault systems. Whether this structural context impacts the …

Magmatic hydrothermal deposits are important sources of many bulk, precious, and rare
metals, and have attracted interest from both academic and industrial communities …

With the aim of constraining the influence of the surrounding plates on the Late Paleozoic–
Mesozoic paleogeographic and tectonic evolution of the southern North China Craton …

Dehydration of the oceanic subducting slab promotes the formation of magmatic arcs, intra-
slab intermediate-depth seismicity, and hydration of the overlying mantle wedge. However …

Transtension is a fundamental process for the development of hydrothermal ore deposits,
since it allows the required extension and dilatancy for hydrothermal fluid circulation and …

Abstract In the Southern Volcanic Zone of Chile (SVZ, 33–46° S) the interaction between
regional fault systems and volcanic centers forms high enthalpy geothermal systems. This …
