Porphyry deposits are large, low-grade metal ore bodies that are formed from hydrothermal
fluids derived from an underlying magma reservoir. They are important as major sources of …

Since the concept of mineral systems was first proposed, there have been growing calls for
their use in deriving holistic genetic models and in assisting in exploration targeting in a …

The redox sensitivity of Ce and Eu anomalies in zircon has been clearly demonstrated by
experimental studies, and these may represent an important tool in the exploration for …

This book reviews the geochemical and petrological characteristics of potassic igneous rock
complexes, and investigates the various tectonic settings in which these rocks occur. The …

Bingham Canyon is one of the world's largest porphyry Cu–Mo–Au deposits and was
previously used as an example to emphasize the role of magma mixing and magmatic …

In recent years, there has been increasing interest from geoscientists in potassic igneous
rocks. Academic geoscientists have been interested in their petrogenesis and their potential …

The genesis of hypozonal orogenic gold deposits is highly controversial, with both crustal
metamorphic fluids and variously derived sub-crustal fluids suggested as fluid and metal …

Chalcophile element fertility, the chalcophile metal abundance in the source magma, is
likely to be a critical factor for the formation of porphyry Cu±Au deposits. In this study, we …

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 …

Adakites are Y-and Yb-depleted, SiO2-and Sr-enriched rocks with elevated Sr/Y and La/Yb
ratios originally thought to represent partial melts of subducted metabasalt, based on their …
