Abstract

Magmatic genesis and evolution – mediated by geodynamic setting – exert a primary control on the propensity of granites to be metal fertile. A revolution in our understanding of these petrogenetic processes has been made through a range of mineral-based tools,most notably the common accessory mineral zircon.There is consequently considerable interest in whether the geochemical and isotopic compositions of zircon can be applied to metallogenic problems.
