Since the concept of mineral systems was first proposed, there have been growing calls for
their use in deriving holistic genetic models and in assisting in exploration targeting in a …

Zircon rare earth element (REE) oxy-barometers have been widely used to calculate magma
oxygen fugacity. However, sometimes confusing results are obtained, such as extremely …

We derive a novel method for determining the oxidation state of a magma as zircon
crystallized, with a standard error of±0· 6 log unit ƒO2, using ratios of Ce, U, and Ti in zircon …

It has been widely accepted that magmas genetically linked to porphyry (-skarn) Cu (Mo)
deposits are commonly oxidized. Recently, using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma …

As tracers, rare earth elements (REEs) can reflect the influence of human activities on the
environmental changes in aquatic systems. To reveal the geochemical behavior of REEs in …

There are more than 80 porphyry (or skarn) Mo deposits in northeastern China with Jurassic
or Cretaceous ages. These are thought to have formed mainly in a continental arc setting …

Mineral inclusions, eg, apatite, titanite, monazite, K-feldspar, are common in magmatic
zircons. Although many studies mention that light rare earth element (LREE) contents of …

Increases in the magnitude of positive Ce anomalies in zircons from igneous rocks are often
interpreted to be controlled by progressive melt oxidation and have been used to provide …

As a proxy of magmatic oxidation state, the accurate characterization of the Ce anomaly of
zircon is of great significance since it can give important information for provenance studies …

Large and easily accessible porphyry Cu deposits have already been identified, exploited,
and gradually exhausted. Novel strategies, therefore, are required to identify new, deeply …
