Alkaline igneous rocks host many High Field Strength (HFSE) and Rare Earth Element (REE) deposits, which are key for the global low-carbon energy transition. To better target these, a better understanding of alteration associated with silicate-related ore deposits is required. Fluid-rock interaction...
