The origin of the Chon Aike silicic large igneous province (SLIP) is a matter of intense
debate, with contrasting hypotheses that range from intraplate settings linked to mantle …

Numerous early Paleozoic mafic–ultramafic intrusions that host important Ni-Cu sulfide
mineralization occur in the northern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, NW China. The sulfide …

The metasomatized sub-continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) is increasingly proposed to
play a key control in the formation of giant gold (Au) deposits. However, the extent of Au …

Magmatic systems play a crucial role in enriching the crust with volatiles and elements that
reside primarily within the Earth's mantle, including economically important metals like …

Porphyry-related mineral deposits are giant geochemical anomalies in the Earth's crust with
orders-of-magnitude differences in the content and proportion of the three main ore metals …

We present results from high-pressure, high-temperature experiments that generate
incipient carbonate melts at mantle conditions (~ 90 kilometers depth and temperatures …

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 …

Understanding the subduction-driven recycling of economically important chalcophile
metals (eg, Cu, Au, Ag, and platinum-group elements, PGEs) and volatiles (eg, sulfur) is …

We have compiled whole-rock analyses in mantle rocks to investigate the abundance of
gold in the lithospheric mantle, and how this distribution can be modified. We show that …

Understanding the behavior of chalcophile elements during the evolution of arc magmas is
critical to refining models for the formation and distribution of porphyry copper deposits used …
