Porphyry deposits, our main source of copper and of significant amounts of Mo, Re and Au,
form at convergent margins in association with intermediate-felsic magmas. Although it is …

The ages of Carlin-type gold deposits in the Golden Triangle of South China have long been
questioned due to the general lack of minerals unequivocally linked to gold deposition that …
