“…Sulfide is a ubiquitous phase in the mantle (Alard et al, 2011) and an important repository for sulfur and geochemically and economically important chalcophile metals, which plays a pivotal role in the partitioning behaviors of PGE, Cu, and Ni (Mungall & Brenan, 2014;Patten et al, 2013). Understanding the factors that control the fate of sulfide phases in the partially molten mantle is of fundamental importance in exploring the recycling of sulfur and chalcophile elements among different geochemical reservoirs (Ding & Dasgupta, 2017;Farquhar et al, 2002;Yao et al, 2018;Chen et al, 2022) and identifying the re-fertilization of the depleted lithospheric mantle, which potentially provides the metal endowment for the formation of Cu-rich porphyry and/or Ni-rich magmatic ore system (Holwell et al, 2022;Lee & Tang, 2020;Mungall et al, 2015;Zhao et al, 2022). However, it remains highly contentious for the driving forces of the transport of metal-bearing sulfide liquid, which severely blocks our understanding of the details of fertilization processes that occurred in the sources of sulfiderelated magmatic and hydrothermal deposits.…”
