New insight into formation of porphyry-type copper deposits

The study addresses the missing link in models for the formation of porphyry-type copper deposits – how vast quantities of mineralising fluids are extracted and transported from their source magmas and focussed into the ore-forming environment.

The attached paper, entitled “Crystal mush dykes as conduits for mineralising fluids in the Yerington porphyry copper district, Nevada”, was published in the leading journal Nature Communications Earth & Environment on 17 March 2021.
