Lee masAbout 10 6 kg (>30 Moz) of gold have been recovered from skarn deposits. These occurrences can be subdivided into five major skarn types: gold, iron, copper, porphyry copper, and lead-zinc. Each skarn type has distinctive characteristics and can be differentiated on the basis of geochemistry, mineralogy, pedogenesis, and tectonic setting.
Lee masSkarn-type deposits are formed in a similar process to porphyry orebodies. Skarn deposits are developed due to replacement, alteration, and contact metasomatism of the surrounding country rocks by ore-bearing hydrothermal solution adjacent to a mafic, ultramafic, felsic, or granitic intrusive body.Skarn-type deposits are formed in a similar process to porphyry orebodies.
