Porphyry deposits supply most of the world's Cu and Mo resources. Over 90% of the
porphyry deposits are found at convergent margins, especially above active subduction …

Metals such as Cu, Mo, Au, Sn, and W in porphyry and related epithermal mineral deposits
are derived predominantly from the associated magmas, via magmatic–hydrothermal fluids …

Abstract The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) hosts a number of porphyry Cu deposits,
all associated with calc-alkaline granitic rocks and ranging in size from giant to small. Major …

Giant ore deposits contain anomalously large quantities of metal and are priority targets for
mineral exploration companies. It is debated whether these giant deposits have a unique …

Extensive research during the 20 th century on porphyry Cu (-Mo-Au) deposits has revealed
the following major geodynamic, petrological, mineralogical, and geochemical features that …

Arc magmas globally are H2O-Cl-S–rich and moderately oxidized (ΔFMQ=+ 1 to+ 2) relative
to most other mantle-derived magmas (ΔFMQ≤ 0). Their relatively high oxidation state limits …

Porphyry ore deposits are the Earth's major resources of copper, molybdenum, and rhenium
(Sillitoe, 2010) and also provide significant amounts of gold, silver, and other metals …

Porphyry copper deposits consist of low-grade stockwork and disseminated sulfide zones
that contain characteristic vein generations formed during the evolution of the magmatic …

Abstract Subduction under South America has been active for the past 550 my but large
porphyry copper deposits were essentially emplaced during the Paleocene (60–50 Ma) in …

Porphyry copper deposits provide around 75%, 50% and 20% of world copper, molybdenum
and gold, respectively. The deposits are mainly centred on calc-alkaline porphyry magmatic …
