The Formation of Sulfide Ores in PGE-Cu-Ni Deposits

Dear Colleagues,

PGE–Cu–Ni deposits are natural result of mantle magmatism. Despite numerous studies in this area, the identification of the mechanisms of accumulation of ore substance, as well the processes of segregation, penetration, and crystallization of sulfide melts and the formation of Cu–Ni deposits are still relevant. The development of new research methods and the improvement of the experimental base allow us to identify new aspects of the conditions for the segregation of sulfide liquid, enrichment of it with chalcophilic elements, and mechanisms of ore localization and fractional crystallization.

This Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics related to the problems of geology, tectonics, petrology, geochemistry, and mineralogy of sulfide 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 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.
