Porphyry copper formation driven by water-fluxed crustal melting during flat-slab subduction - Nature Geoscience

Nov 4, 2024 | nature.com | Thomas Lamont |Frances Cooper |Jamie Wilkinson |Dan Bevan |Anthony Kemp |Tim Elliott | +1 more

AbstractThe prevailing view of 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, many major porphyry districts formed during periods of flat-slab subduction when the mantle wedge would have been reduced or absent, leaving the source of the ore-forming magmas unclear.
