Evidence of fluid inclusions for two stages of fluid boiling in the formation of the giant Shapinggou porphyry Mo deposit, Dabie Orogen, Central China

The Shapinggou porphyry Mo deposit, one of the largest Mo deposits in Asia, is located in the Dabie Orogen, Central China. Hydrothermal alteration and mineralization at Shapinggou can be divided into four stages, i.e., stage 1 ore-barren quartz veins with intense silicification, followed by stage 2 quartz-molybdenite veins associated with potassic alteration, stage 3 quartz-polymetallic sulfide veins related to phyllic alteration, and stage 4...
