Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ore deposits continuously provide a mass of valuable resources for human society. With the development of analytical instruments, high-precision in situ analysis has been a critical means of understanding hydrothermal ore deposits. This provides us a unique window for investigating various aspects of ore deposits, ranging from the tectonic background, source and evolution of ore fluids, to mineralization factors (e.g., P-T-X conditions, the redox environment, and the water content). This Special Issue is focused on relevant topics, including but not limited to (1) exploration and deposit geochemistry; (2) the mineral chemistry of ores, gangue minerals, and accessory minerals that hold significant clues about metal deposition; (3) the geochronology of ore deposits; and (4) the application and development of in situ analyses in ore-deposit-related studies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Minerals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
