Predicting paragenetic modes of deposit
Green indicates almost certain match based on minerals unique to a certain deposit type. Yellow indicates a possibly poor match, but should not be entirely discounted. Scores > 100 indicate strong confidence.
Paragenetic Mode | Score |
---|---|
37 : Layered igneous intrusions and related PGE minerals | 50 |
33 : Minerals deposited by hydrothermal metal-rich fluids (see also [#12]) | 50 |
