Magmatic deposits

  • Chapter

  • 900 Accesses

Abstract

Some ore deposits have such an intimate association with igneous rocks that a common heritage can be inferred. In many cases it can be confirmed by a study of field relationships, from ore textures and from the results of experimental petrology that the ores have segregated during the crystallization of a magma.
