Magma reservoirs play a key role in controlling numerous processes in planetary evolution,
including igneous differentiation and degassing, crustal construction, and volcanism. For …

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 …

About 85% of all historically mined tin of about 27 million tonnes Sn is from a few tin ore
provinces within larger granite belts. These are, in decreasing importance, Southeast Asia …

Granitoids of the tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) series dominate Earth's earliest
continental crust. The geochemical diversity of TTGs is ascribed to several possible …

Most tungsten (W) and tin (Sn) deposits are associated with highly evolved granites derived
from the anatexis of metasedimentary rocks. They are commonly separated in both space …

A fundamental question in the study of magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits is whether the
mineralization potential of intrusions was already predetermined by the metal content of the …

Formation of hydrothermal ore deposits requires a fluid with the capability to transport and
deposit metals, and the sources and physical and chemical characteristics of these …

Tungsten mineralization is typically associated with reduced granitic magmas of crustal
origin. While this type of magmatism is widespread, economic tungsten deposits are highly …

Most of the global Sn resources are from granite-related ore deposits, which form in
response to cassiterite precipitation from hydrothermal fluids. However, the physical and …

Kiruna-type iron oxide–apatite (IOA) deposits are an important source of Fe ore, and two
radically different processes are being actively investigated for their origin. One hypothesis …
