The Hongniu-Hongshan porphyry-skarn deposit is located in the southern Yidun terrane Sanjiang Tethyan Metallogenic Domain (STMD). Although its metallogenesis has been well constrained past decade, magmatic processes for granitoids are still poorly understood. Herein, we provide new geochemical data on minerals (plagioclase, amphibole, and clinopyroxene) to get a better insight into these proces...

Hf isotope ratios measured in igneous zircon are controlled by magmatic source, which may be linked to tectonic setting. Over the 200-500 Myr periodicity of the supercontinent cycle - the principal geological phenomenon controlling prevailing global tectonic style - juvenile Hf signals, i.e. most radiogenic, are typically measured in zircon from granites formed in arc settings (crustal growth),...

N2/Ar and Ar/He relationships: Fluid inclusion magmatic gases are measured using quadrupole mass spectrometers and the data is compared to measurements of volcanic gas analyses. Data reported by Giggenbach from active volcanoes give N2/Ar ratios in the general range of 100 to 1000 whereas corresponding Ar/He ratios vary from 100 to 2. Plotted on a Ar/He vs. N2/Ar diagram the data defines a fiel...

the darreh-zar porphyry copper deposit, located in the urumieh – dokhtar magmatic belt, lies about 10 km southeast of sar-cheshmeh porphyry copper deposit. the ore body with hydrothermally altered zones including potassic, chlorite-sericite, sericite, argillic and propylitic all related to the darreh-zar porphyry stock intruded the eocene volcanic rocks. pyrite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite, with ...

Mount Bidkhan stratovolcano is located in the central Iranian volcanic belt. It is composed of several types of pyroclastic deposits, lava flows and intrusive bodies. Textural and chemical characteristics of plagioclase phenocrysts from the eruptive products volcanic edifice, record complex magma mixing events over the lifetime of the volcano. Evidences such as xenocrystic high Al+Ti clinopyrox...

The Rio Jacaré Batholith (RJB; 617 ± 4 Ma) is inserted in the Poço Redondo Domain, Sergipano Orogenic System. This batholith formed by monzodiorite, quartz monzonite, and with abundant microgranular enclaves (MEs). MEs vary from black to light gray exhibit globular slightly elongated shapes clear-cut, crenulated, cuspate, or, more rarely, diffuse contacts. They correspond diorites, monzodiorite...

Lithium isotopic compositions of fluid inclusions and hosted gangue quartz from a giant volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit in China provide robust evidence for inputting of magmatic fluids into a Triassic submarine hydrothermal system. The δ(7)Li results vary from +4.5‰ to +13.8‰ for fluid inclusions and from +6.7‰ to +21.0‰ for the hosted gangue quartz(9 gangue quartz samples containing prim...
