Oxygen fugacity of Yanshanian granites in South China and implications for metallogeny

Oxygen fugacity (fo2) of magmas exerts an important control on the speciation of multivalent elements in magmatic-hydrothermal processes, which has a great significance for mineralization. This paper examines the relationships between oxygen fugacity and mineralization associated with Yanshanian (Jurassic to Cretaceous) granites in South China, which hosts many world-class W, Sn, Cu, Mo, Au, Pb and Zn deposits. The oxygen fugacities of...
