Slab-derived fluids and quartz-vein formation in an accretionary prism, Otago Schist, New Zealand

Orogenic gold: Common or evolving fluid and metal sources through time

“…42 deposits, as suggested for Otago (Breeding and Ague (2002) and elsewhere (Hyndaman et al, 2015). Such movement of a metamorphic fluid released from an oceanic slab, and particularly the overlying oceanic pyritic sediments, begins once the base of the fore-arc mantle wedge is fully hydrated (Katayama 2012).…”

Tomography of the southern Taiwan subduction zone and possible emplacement of crustal rocks into the forearc mantle

“…Silica-rich rocks are not normally indicated in the lower crust, but they can be expected in the environment of the forearc (Manning, 1996). Breeding and Ague (2002) reported that quartz deposited in an exposed deep forearc section, from silica-rich fluids rising from the subducted slab. It is believed that solubility of silica is strongly temperature dependent (e.g.…”

Fluids in the Continental Crust

“…Fig. 1.3f) the veins mark paths for infiltration of fluid that is not in local equilibrium (Breeding and Ague, 2002).…”
