Coarse muscovite veins and alteration deep in the Yerington batholith, Nevada: insights into fluid exsolution in the roots of porphyry copper systems

Veins and pervasive wall-rock alteration composed of coarse muscovite +/- quartz +/- pyrite are documented for the first time in a porphyritic granite at Luhr Hill in the Yerington District, Nevada.
