Abstract Porphyry deposits are the main source for global Cu and Mo production. The generation of hydrous silicate magmas subsequent separation volatile-rich magmatic fluids with hydrothermal alteration significant processes leading to formation porphyry deposits. However, a specific understanding these has been limited by lack direct mineralogical records in evolving magmatic-hydrothermal syst...

The Neoproterozoic rocks of the Bir Madi area, south Eastern Desert, comprise a metagabbrodiorite complex (GDC) and a tonalite-granodiorite suite (TGrS). The GDC has a weak tholeiitic to strong calc-alkaline character and is made up of olivine gabbro, hornblende gabbro, diorite and monzodiorite. The olivine gabbro is characterized by abundance of augite and labradorite with pseudomorphic serpen...

[1] The Coast Ridge Belt (CRB, Santa Lucia Mts., central California) comprises mid-crustal rocks (750–800 C and 0.8 GPa) of the California magmatic arc. We estimated the bulk composition of the CRB and converted our results to seismic velocities expected at the observed pressures and temperatures. The bulk composition of this arc section changes abruptly at 25 km depth from a granodiorite to a ...

South China is a well-known grand felsic igneous rocks province. However, it still controversial and not well understood whether the Mesozoic tectono-magmatic pattern dominated by subduction of paleo-Pacific oceanic plate. In this study, we address question concentrating on long-term evolutionary Guandimiao batholith, which has complex lithofacies with different formation ages can be superb rec...

introduction two main principal aspects for the genesis of porphyry copper deposits have been determined. the first genetic model concerns the petrologic and geochemical processes and the other relates the genesis to crustal deformation and geodynamic conditions (kesler, 1997). recent studies (e.g., padilla garza et al., 2001) show that the generation and emplacement of porphyry copper deposits...

Molybdenite is a common sulfide hosting many trace elements. Trace elements in molybdenite from individual deposits have been widely used to constrain the source and conditions of ore-forming fluids. However, relationship between element composition deposit types has not well investigated large dataset. Here, simple statistics partial least squares–discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were determine ...

sarcheshmeh porphyry copper deposit is located 65 km southwest of rafsanjan in kerman province. the sarcheshmeh deposit belongs to the southeastern part of urumieh-dokhtar magmatic assemblage (i.e., dehaj-sarduyeh zone). intrusion of sarcheshmeh granodiorite stock in faulted and thrusted early-tertiary volcano-sedimentary deposits, led to mineralization in miocene. in this research, the mass ch...
