Scavenging and release of REE and HFSE by Na-metasomatism in magmatic-hydrothermal systems [PDF]
Exploitable or potentially exploitable deposits of critical metals, such as rare-earth (REE) and high-field-strength elements (HFSE), are commonly associated with alkaline or peralkaline igneous rocks.

Carbonatitic versus hydrothermal origin for fluorapatite REE-Th deposits: Experimental study of REE transport and crustal “antiskarn” metasomatism [PDF]
Nolans-type ore deposits contain REE and Th mineralization hosted in fluorapatite veins. These veins intrude granulite facies rocks and are surrounded by a diopside selvage.

A new occurrence of hydrous andradite within pyroclastic rocks of the Sierra De Bahoruco, Dominican Republic [PDF]
The titanium-bearing (up to 3.31 wt% TiO2) hydrous andradite [Ca2.98Na(0.02)K(0.01)Fe2+ (0.01)]Σ=3.02[Fe3 + 1.25Al0.45Ti0.15Fe2+ 0.07Mg0.04V3+ 0.01Mn2+ 0.01]Σ=2.98Si2.43O9.72(OH)2.28 was identified within intensely altered and weathered pyroclastic ...

Impact-generated hydrothermal circulation and metasomatism of the rochechouart astrobleme: mineralogy and major and trace element distribution [PDF]
The energy released during a hypervelocity impact on Earth can generate high temperatures in the target rock. There are currently 170 known impact structures worldwide, of which over one-third contain fossil hydrothermal systems [1].

Different forms of talc have been developed in the first member of Permian Maokou Formation (P2m1) in the Sichuan Basin. As a hydrothermal alteration mineral, its formation mechanism and its influence on the P2m1 reservoir need to be further explored ...

Elucidating Pathfinding Elements from the Kubi Gold Mine in Ghana [PDF]
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) are applied to investigate the properties of fine-grained concentrate on artisanal small-scale gold mining samples from the Kubi Gold Project of the Asante Gold Corporation near Dunwka-on-Offin in the Central Region of Ghana.

Correlating hydrothermal system dynamics and eruptive activity -- A case-study of Piton de la Fournaise volcano, La R{é}union [PDF]
Piton de la Fournaise volcano, La R{\'e}union Island, is a basaltic shield volcano which underwent an intense cycle of eruptive activity between 1998 and 2008. Self-potential and other geophysical investigations of the volcano have shown the existence of a well-established hydrothermal system within the summit cone.

Hiekkapohja hydrothermal system – ore mineral, lithogeochemical and paleomagnetic evidence from the Paleoproterozoic Central Finland Granitoid Complex [PDF]
The Paleoproterozoic Svecofennian Central Finland Granitoid Complex (CFGC) has been regarded as an area of low mineralisation potential. The Hiekkapohja area, 20km north-east of the town of Jyväskylä, host a concentration of variable metalliferous ...
