Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on petrology and mineralogy, with a strong emphasis on the study of ore deposits and their formation processes. Recent articles investigate the physical and chemical conditions of magma crystallization, the genesis of various ore deposits (including copper, nickel, sulfur, vanadium-titanium magnetite, tungsten, molybdenum, gold, and rare earth elements), and the tectonic and geodynamic settings that control these processes. The research utilizes advanced analytical techniques, including machine learning, isotopic dating, and trace element analysis, to understand magma evolution, fluid-rock interactions, and the origin of mineralizing systems in diverse geological environments.
