31. Porphyry Systems - from Bottom to Top

Can we track the evolution of a fertile porphyry system from the mantle to the deposit? The FAMOS (From Arc Magmas to Ores) Project in the UK was conceived to tackle the fundamental processes involved in porphyry ore systems and brought a diverse set of researchers and industry collaborators together. The interdisciplinary teams combined experimental petrology, volcanology, numerical modelling and mineral analysis. They worked together to constrain the conditions for p...
