Apatite as a pathfinder to tin mineralisation: prospects and caveats Open
Granite-related mineral deposits are major primary sources of the critical metals tin (Sn) and lithium (Li). The utility of accessory minerals such as zircon and apatite as pathfinders to these ore deposits has been a subject of great inte…

The Geodynamic Significance of Continental UHP Exhumation: New Constraints From the Tso Morari Complex, NW Himalaya Open
The burial and exhumation of continental crust to and from ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) is an important orogenic process, often interpreted with respect to the onset and/or subduction dynamics of continent‐continent collision. Here, we investi…

Recommendations for the reporting and interpretation of isotope dilution U-Pb geochronological information Open
U-Pb geochronology by isotope dilution–thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) has the potential to be the most precise and accurate of the deep time chronometers, especially when applied to high-U minerals such as zircon. Continued…

Tectonic and Crustal Processes Drive Multi-Million Year Arc Magma Evolution Leading up to Porphyry Copper Deposit Formation in Central Chile Open
Subduction zone magmatism is a major control of volcanism, the generation of modern continental crust and the formation of economically important porphyry Cu–(Mo–Au) deposits. Reading the magmatic record of individual arc segments and cons…

Revisiting the discrimination and distribution of S-type granites from zircon trace element composition Open
Trace element compositions of zircon can be used to estimate the chemistry of their host magmas; as such they provide a useful tool in zircon provenance, and in the assessment of changing magma chemistries in time and space. Granites deriv…

The role of crustal anatexis in porphyry copper ore formation during flat-slab subduction: Insights from the Laramide Belt, SW USA Open
The prevailing paradigm for the formation of porphyry copper deposits along convergent plate boundaries involves deep-crustal differentiation of metal-bearing juvenile magmas derived from the mantle-wedge above a subduction zone. However, …

Post-subduction porphyry mineralisation – triggers and magma sources Open
Subduction zones and their associated porphyry Cu-Mo deposits (PCDs) in continental settings are often considered in terms of Andean-type orogenies, with magmas generated in a compressional regime via fluid-fluxing of the metasomatized sub…
