Quartz solubility in the H2O-NaCl system: a framework for understanding vein formation in porphyry copper deposits

Porphyry copper deposits consist of low-grade stockwork and disseminated sulfide zones that contain characteristic vein generations formed during the evolution of the magmatic-hydrothermal systems. The present contribution proposes an interpretive framework for the formation of porphyry veins that i...
