The Lazurnoe deposit in the Central Sikhote-Alin, Eastern Russia: Combined shoshonite-related porphyry Cu-Au-Mo and reduced intrusion-related Au mineralization in a post-subduction setting

The Lazurnoe porphyry Cu-Au-Mo deposit (>1Mt Cu-eq.) in the Mesozoic Central Sikhote-Alin orogenic belt (Eastern Russia) is located in an Early Cretaceous turbidite basin associated with a crustal-scale strike-slip fault zone, and was formed under the continental transform margin regime after the cessation of active subduction. The deposit is related to a magnetite-series, high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic, Early Cretaceous igneous suite that...
