Genesis and Metallogeny of Non-ferrous and Precious Metal Deposits, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, an increasing number of non-ferrous and precious metal deposits have been discovered over all the word. Concurrently, new and advanced analytical techniques in deposit research, such as isotope dating of U-Pb, Ar-Ar, and Re-Os, which has been applied to ore minerals, in-suit trace element and isotope compositions analysis, etc., are being utilized in this area. New theoretic viewpoints on ore genesis, mineralization mechanism, and metallogenetic regularities have been proposed and proven.

This Special Issue will mainly focus on, but is not limited to, properties and ore genesis, ore-controlling tectonic-magmatic events, geochronology and tectonic setting, regional metallogeny, and metallogenic models of newly discovered, important, and well-known non-ferrous and precious metal deposits. It is also interesting on new research techniques which have been well applied in deposit research.

Besides theoretical work, this Special Issue will also pay close attention to new discoveries and ore-exploration achievements regarding non-ferrous and precious metal deposits.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Minerals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
