Granite related ore deposits This volume brings together a collection of papers that summarize current ideas and recent progress in the study of granite related mineralization systems. They provide a combination of field experimental and theoretical studies. Papers are grouped according to the main granite related ore systems: granite pegmatite skarn and greisen veins porphyry orogenic gold intrusion related epithermal and porphyry related gold and base metal iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) and special case studies. The studies provide a broad spread in terms of both space and time highlighting granite related ore deposits from Europe (Russia Sweden Croatia and Turkey) the Middle East (Iran) Asia (Japan and China) and South America (Brazil and Argentina) and spanning rocks from Palaeoproterozoic to Miocene in age Granite related ore deposits: an introduction Evolution of metallogeny of granitic pegmatites associated with orogens throughout geological time Late Neoproterozoic Cambrian granitic magmatism in the Aracuai orogen (Brazil) the Eastern Brazilian Pegmatite Province and related mineral resources Tourmaline nodules: products of devolatilization within the final evolutionary stage of granitic melt Geochemical characteristics of Miocene Fe Cu Pb Zn granitoids associated mineralization in the Chichibu skarn deposit (central Japan): evidence for magmatic fluids generation coexisting with granitic melt Fractal analysis of the ore forming process in a skarn deposit: a case study in the Shizishan area China Geology petrology and alteration geochemistry of the Palaeoproterozoic intrusive hosted Algtrask Au deposit Northern Sweden Geological setting alteration and fluid inclusion characteristics of Zaglic and Safikhanloo epithermal gold prospects NW Iran Magma mixing and unmixing related mineralization in the Karacaali Magmatic Complex central Anatolia Turkey Geochemical indicators of metalliferous fertility in the Carboniferous San Blas pluton Sierra de Velasco Argentina.
