MINERAL FORMATION CONDITIONS IN ACID MAGMATIC SYSTEMS RELATED TO THE FORMATION OF MASSIVE SULFIDE DEPOSITS OF THE URALS AND ALTAI-SAYANY AREA by V.A. Simonov, V.V. Maslennikov, A.V. Kotlyarov

“…The features of rare and rare earth element patterns in melt inclusions in quartz indicate the similarity of acid magmatic systems of massive sulfide deposits in the Urals and Altai-Sayany region with present-day suprasubduction melts in the ocean-continent transition zones. Computational modeling using data on melt inclusions in quartz confirms our previous conclusions (Simonov, Maslennikov, 2020) that the occurrence of contrasting (basic and felsic) volcanic complexes with massive sulfide deposits in the Urals and Altai-Sayany region is a result of evolution of basaltoid magmas.…”
