Tectonic setting and magmatic fertility of igneous rocks associated with porphyry mineralisation British Columbia, Canada

本研究数据将用于加强不列颠哥伦比亚省Highland Valley和MAX斑岩系统的地质和成矿综合地质模型。我们将利用高精度地球化学和放射性同位素研究构造触发器在斑岩和浅成热液矿床形成中的作用。将开发的模型将与全球其他斑岩矿床的现有数据集进行比较。此外，我们将通过LA-ICPMS对微量元素组成进行分析，评估关键岩浆肥力指示矿物（如锆石和角闪石）的化学成分，开发下一代斑岩系统肥力评估工具。最后，我们将评估与斑岩系统相关的蚀变矿物的矿物化学，以评估它们的价值

The data generated in this study will be used to enhance the integrated geological model for the geology and mineralization of the Highland Valley and MAX porphyry systems in British Columbia. We will utilise high precision geochemistry and radiogenic isotopes to investigate the role of tectonic triggers on the formation of porphyry and epithermal deposits. The model that will be developed will be compared to existing data sets for other porphyry deposits around the globe. In addition we will develop the next generation of fertility assessment tools for porphyry systems by assessing the chemistry of key magmatic fertility indicator minerals (e.g., zircon and hornblende) through LA-ICPMS analyses of trace element compositions. Finally we will assess the mineral chemistry of alteration minerals associated with porphyry systems in order to assess their
