Hypotheses for the formation of many types of hydrothermal ore deposits often involve the direct contribution of magma-related fluids (e.g., Cu-Mo-Au porphyries) or their superimposition on barren hydrothermal cells (e.g., volcanic-hosted massive sulfide deposits). However, the chemical and phase co...
