Geochemistry of sulfide minerals from skarn Cu (Au) deposits in the Fenghuangshan ore field, Tongling, eastern China: Insights into ore-forming process

In situ elemental compositions of sulfide minerals have been widely applied to trace ore-forming processes of magmatic-hydrothermal ore systems, yet the application of elemental compositions of the sulfide minerals in skarn ore deposits is still restricted by the lack of understanding of their behaviors during the skarn formation processes. In this study, in situ (LA-ICP-MS and EPMA) elemental compositions of medium- to coarse-grained euhedral...
