Chemical feedbacks during magma degassing control chlorine partitioning and metal extraction in volcanic arcs

Chlorine behaviour during complex, polybaric arc magma degassing is poorly understood. Here, the authors show that chemical feedbacks during coeval magma differentiation and degassing account for the Cl record at both volcanoes and ore deposits, and quantify the role of Cl in efficient copper extrac...
