Trace elements in fluid inclusions of sedimenthosted gold
Our distinction of fluid end members based on trace elements is supported by data reported from other hydrothermal ore deposits. Fluid inclusion analyses from Bingham Canyon and other porphyry CuMoAu deposits confirm selective enrichment of B and As in magmatic vapor, in contrast to enrichment of Rb, Cs, and K in magmatic brines ( Fig. 3 ; Heinrich et al., 1999 ; Landtwing et al., 2010 ).
