Editorial for Special Issue: “Geochemistry and Mineralogy of Basic–Ultrabasic and Alkaline Intrusions and Related Magmatic Deposits”

Abstract

Magmatic deposits are sources of strategic metals provided to the global market. Ultramafic–mafic intrusions contain PGE, Cu-Ni, Cr, Ti, and V deposits, while many rare metal deposits (e.g., Zr, Ta, Nb, Be, Y, Sc, Li, and Ge) are linked to alkaline intrusions.
