Oxidized sulfur-rich arc magmas formed porphyry Cu deposits by 1.88 Ga

Oxidized sulfur-rich arc magmas formed porphyry Cu deposits by 1.88 Ga

Tectonomagmatic conditions in the Precambrian were hypothesized to be unfavorable for porphyry Cu deposit formation. Here, the authors show that metallogenic processes typify Phanerozoic porphyry Cu deposits operated by ~1.88 Ga, reflecting modification of mantle lithosphere by oxidized slab-derived...
