Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As one of the most valuable deposit types, porphyry deposits are of great interest to both industry and academia. Porphyry deposits and their genetically and spatially correlated epithermal deposits are common topics of exploration and genesis research, representing one of the most deeply understood deposit types. However, new discoveries and insights into its formation and exploration emerge relatively frequently, which improve our understanding of porphyry deposits while providing better exploration strategies for new exploration campaigns. To keep the industry and academia updated with knowledge of recent discoveries and progress in metallogeny and exploration methods of porphyry and epithermal deposits, we are organizing a Special Issue to disseminate knowledge about the geology, geochronology, hydrothermal process, indicator minerals, geochemistry, geophysics, and spectroscopy of porphyry and epithermal deposits. Topics of interest for this Special Issue of Minerals, “New Discovery and Exploration Methods of Porphyry and Epithermal Deposits”, include but are not limited to the following:
- Geology of recently discovered porphyry and/or epithermal deposits;
- Formation processes of porphyry and epithermal deposits;
- New exploration tools for porphyry and epithermal deposits.
