Phase equilibria modelling of trace element evolution in arc magmas: implications for petrogenesis and copper porphyry indicators.

Key Points

• Trace element evolution impacts trends in arc magmas, enhancing understanding of petrogenesis.
• Significant changes in elemental ratios can indicate the formation of copper porphyry deposits.
• Analysis employs phase equilibria modelling to assess interactions within the magma system.
• Findings suggest further exploration is needed to confirm implications for copper resource exploration.
