From Magma To Treasure: Scientists Uncover Secrets of Gold’s Journey Through Magmatic Fluids

A team from UNIGE is transforming our understanding of gold transport and ore deposit formation by investigating sulfur in magmatic fluids under extreme pressures and temperatures. When one tectonic plate sinks beneath another, it creates magmas rich in volatile elements like water, sulfur, and chlorine. As these magmas rise, they release magmatic fluids. These fluids [...]
