文摘
- •
Sulfide mineral zonation and trace element enrichment correlate with measured isotherms.
- •
Sulfide mineral zonation resembles that observed in high-T black smoker chimneys.
- •
Igneous sulfides likely account for < 5% of total ore metal budget in the system.
- •
Sulfide minerals reveal subsurface parameters relevant to the characterization of geothermal resources.
