Standard : V-CDT

ValueRangenMineral or matrixSource
−2.63 / −0.56 ‰pyrite
A single magmatic sulfur source. The fractionation trend is attributed to inorganic sulfate reduction by the fluid, in line with increasing H2S activity along the paragenetic sequence.

−0.039 / 0.201 ‰chalcopyrite
A very narrow range around zero, a typical copper porphyry signature.
Panigrahi et al. 2013, Resource Geology 63:110-116
0.68 / 1.98 ‰molybdenite
Richer in 34S than chalcopyrite and pyrite, in an order consistent with equilibrium fractionation between minerals at high temperature.
