Origin and metal content of magmatic sulfides in Cu-Au mineralizing silicic magmas: Yerington, Nevada and Yanacocha, Peru

Creator:

Brennecka, Gregory A.

Abstract:

Magmatic sulfides from Yerington, Nevada, and Yanacocha, Peru, were analyzed by laser ablation-inductively coupled mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) and electron microprobe to determine copper, gold, and silver concentrations and ratios in order to examine the relationship to the metal content of related magmatic-hydrothermal ores. The magmatic sulfides occur in plutonic rocks...
