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 …

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 …

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 …

The ubiquity of Au-bearing arsenian pyrite in hydrothermal ore deposits suggests that the
coupled geochemical behaviour of Au and As in this sulfide occurs under a wide range of …

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

Porphyry copper deposits are currently the world's largest source of copper and
molybdenum, and are also among the largest reservoirs of gold in the upper crust. Despite …

A comprehensive account of ore-forming processes, revised and updated The revised
second edition of Introduction to Ore-Forming Processes offers a guide to the multiplicity of …

All cells contain much more potassium, phosphate, and transition metals than modern (or
reconstructed primeval) oceans, lakes, or rivers. Cells maintain ion gradients by using …

The hydration and complexation of metals in hydrothermal fluids are key processes
controlling the mobility of elements in the Earth's crust, leading to the formation of ore …
