Ap. Berzina et Vi. Sotnikov, Magmatic centers with Cu-Mo-porphyry mineralization of the Central-Asian mobile belt (by the example of Siberia and Mongolia), GEOL GEOFIZ, 40(11), 1999, pp. 1605-1618
In the Central-Asian mobile belt, Cu-Mo-porphyry mineralization developed i
n several cycles (in the Caledonian, Hercynian, and Mesozoic). The deposits
occur in the centers of repeated magmatic activity confined to the transre
gional volcanoplutonic belts. Ore-bearing porphyry complexes terminate magm
atism of the tectonic cycles and occur in postcollisional (rift-related) ge
odynamic settings, inheriting, to a certain degree, the petrogeochemical fe
atures of preceding collisional and subductional magmatism.
During the formation of the magmatic centers, the rock assemblages and thei
r geochemical features changed in the Paleozoic-Mesozoic, which is related,
on the one hand, to the influence of the continental crust and, on the oth
er hand, to the increase in the depth of the mantle source.
