Early sulfide saturation in arc volcanic rocks of southeast China: Implications for the formation of co-magmatic porphyry–epithermal Cu–Au deposits

ZJ Bai, H Zhong, RZ Hu, WG Zhu - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2020 - Elsevier
It is widely considered that arc magmas are highly oxidized, and can thus dissolve a large
amount of sulfur, thereby preventing significant sulfide saturation prior to fluid saturation …
