Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magmatic–hydrothermal processes play a fundamental role in the formation of a wide range of metallic deposits, serving as key pathways for the transport and concentration of critical metals. These processes encompass a broad spectrum of magmatic systems, from silicic magmas to more uncommon but economically significant melts such as igneous carbonatites. Understanding the evolution from magma generation to hydrothermal fluid exsolution is essential for deciphering ore-forming mechanisms and developing genetic models for mineral exploration.
This Special Issue, “Magmatic–Hydrothermal Process and the Genesis of Related Mineral Deposits”, seeks to gather cutting-edge research that integrates field geology, petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, fluid inclusions, and isotopic tracing to illuminate magmatic–hydrothermal transition and its links to mineralization. We welcome contributions that present original research articles or reviews on metallic deposits associated with magmatic–hydrothermal systems from diverse geological settings. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: (1) the role of magma source, evolution, and fluid saturation in metal enrichment; (2) geochemical and isotopic fingerprints of magmatic–hydrothermal processes; (3) the genesis of ore deposits related to magmatic–hydrothermal system; and (4) novel approaches or case studies that connect magmatic petrogenesis with hydrothermal mineralization.

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.
