Genesis and Evolution of Pb-Zn-Ag Polymetallic Deposits

Dear Colleagues,

The genetic types of Pb–Zn–Ag polymetallic deposits are diverse and complex, such as Sedex, VMS, MVT, skarn, hydrothermal veins, nonsulfide, polygenetic, etc., and usually associated with many valuable elements, such as Cu, Mo, Sb, Cd, Ga, Ge, In, Se, and Tl, etc. This Special Issue focuses on the in-depth study and new cognition of Pb–Zn–Ag polymetallic mineralization from different perspectives, including but not limited to source and evolution of ore-forming fluids, source and precipitation mechanism of metals, element occurrence in sulfide, remobilization of ore-forming elements, superimposed mineralization, metallogenic age, structural control of mineralization, tectonic setting, etc. Further, in the last twelve years or so, the extensive applications of high-precision in situ analytical techniques have helped to obtain more precise and accurate data, aiding us in developing a more in-depth understanding of the process and mechanism of metal mineralization. this Special Issue thus welcomes research on the application of novel technology to Pb–Zn–Ag polymetallic deposits. In addition, comprehensive reviews or summaries on Pb–Zn–Ag polymetallic deposits are also welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
