The implications of crustal architecture and transcrustal upflow zones on the metal endowment of a world-class mineral district Open
Earth’s mineral deposits show a non-uniform spatial distribution from the craton-scale, to the scale of individual mineral districts. Although this pattern of differential metal endowment is underpinned by lithospheric-scale processes the …
