Abstract

Hydrothermal deposits: ore minerals precipitated from high-temperature aqueous fluids of different origins. (a) Deposits in orogenic environments Orogenic Au deposits Carlin-type Au deposits Iron oxide–copper–gold (IOCG) deposits (b) Deposits in volcano–sedimentary environments Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits Mississippi Valley–type (MVT) deposits Sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) deposits Red-bed copper deposits Uranium deposits.
