Variation in hydrothermal muscovite and chlorite composition in the Highland Valley porphyry Cu-Mo district, British Columbia, Canada

Muscovitic mica and chlorite are common alteration components in porphyry Cu-Mo deposits. Their mineral chemistry varies depending on the degree of fluid rock interaction, pressure and temperature and can therefore be used as alteration vector. At the Valley porphyry Cu-Mo deposit of the Highland Va...
