Fluid evolution and selective metal enrichment in magmatic-hydrothermal Cu-Au ore systems
(2018)Magmatic-hydrothermal ore formation, including porphyry and epithermal deposits, results from a chain of processes including (1) early lithosphere preparation; (2) magma generation in the upper mantle and lower crust; (3) magma ascent and fluid saturation; (4) fluid expulsion from magma and focused fluid flow; (5) fluid cooling, expansion and phase separation; (6) ore mineral precipitation and hydrothermal alteration; and (7) eventual ...Other Conference Item
