Role of chalcophile element fertility in the formation of the eastern Tethyan post-collisional porphyry Cu deposits
Post-collisional porphyry Cu deposits are genetically related to the magmas generated by partial melting of sulfide-bearing lithosphere fertilized by subduction components. The ore-forming magmas are suggested...

Contrasting platinum-group element geochemistry of post-collisional porphyry Cu ± Au ore-bearing and barren suites in the central and southeastern Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc, Iran
The Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc (UDMA), Iran, hosts giant to small porphyry Cu ± Au deposits associated with Miocene post-collisional magmatism. Previous studies suggested that the ore-bearing suites are deri...

Sulfide minerals and chalcophile elements in The Pleiades Volcanic Field, Antarctica: implications for the distribution of chalcophile metals in continental intraplate alkaline magma systems
Fractionation of sulfides during ascent of mantle-derived magmas distributes sulfur and chalcophile elements into the Earth’s lithosphere. It has been suggested that continental intraplate alkaline magmas unde...

Fractionation of trace and platinum-group elements during metamorphism of komatiitic chromites from the early Archean Gorumahishani greenstone belt, Singhbhum Craton (eastern India)
It is well established that the major and minor element contents of chromites are subject to change during greenschist to amphibolite facies metamorphism. During upper amphibolite facies metamorphism, chromite...

Crustal magmatic controls on the formation of porphyry copper deposits
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 critical metals for industry ...
