Volcanic–plutonic connections and metal fertility of highly evolved magma systems: A case study from the Herberton Sn–W–Mo Mineral Field, Queensland, Australia

Understanding the connection between the highly evolved intrusive and extrusive systems is essential to explore the evolution of high silicic magma systems, which plays an important role in discussions of planetary differentiation, the growth of continents, crustal evolution, and the formation of highly evolved magma associated Sn–W–Mo mineral systems. To discern differences between “fertile” and “non-fertile” igneous rocks associated with...
