ABSTRACT SEVERAL authors have considered the genesis of various ores in terms of plate tectonic theory1–6. Most have discussed various possibilities for the origin of the ore solutions of

massive sulphides and, with the exception of Guild6, have stated or implied a fairly close genetic relationship between ore deposition and the processes of seafloor spreading and subduction.

The nature of this relationship is, however, by no means clear and I suggest here that it may be very tenuous. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of
