Abstract
The Yanacocha magmatic field (northern Peru) hosts the largest high sulfidation gold deposit on Earth. Mineralization is associated with porphyritic intrusions distributed along a NE-trending magmatic structural corridor. Eight of these intrusions investigated in this study range in age from 12.4 to 8.4 Ma and show systematic chemical and isotopic changes through time. They are interpreted to derive from hydrous mafic magmas evolving through...
