EPMA and TIMA analyses show that silver occurs as invisible silver (dominant) and visible silver. Invisible silver is hosted via isomorphic substitution in bornite and other copper sulphides, whereas visible silver occurs as independent minerals, dominated by stromeyerite and argentite. Silver was transported as chloride complexes at early high‑temperature conditions and incorporated into copper sulphides during cooling. With decreasing temperature and oxygen fugacity and increasing pH, silver shifted to hydrosulphide complex transport and eventually precipitated as independent silver minerals.

The Bursa ophiolite, northwestern Turkey, exposes complementary levels of a single oceanic lithospheric mantle section across the Harmancik and Orhaneli massifs, enabling forearc melt evolution to be traced from deep mantle reaction channels to shallow CMTZ melt-focusing systems. Harmancik comprises fertile lherzolites recording 6%–13% partial melting and refractory harzburgites recording 15%–20% melting, both overprinted by migrating forearc melts and associated with replacive dunite channels and podiform chromitites. In contrast, Orhaneli exposes CMTZ dunite–chromitite assemblages and ultramafic–mafic cumulates, recording shallow melt focusing, magmatic differentiation, and in situ crystal accumulation. These observations suggest that the Bursa chromitites represent a vertically linked ore-forming system in which mantle-hosted podiform chromitites formed in reaction channels, whereas CMTZ-hosted stratiform-like chromitites formed during upward melt focusing, differentiation, fractional crystallisation, cumulus processes, and multistage melt percolation.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":7095,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geologica Sinica ‐ English Edition","volume":"100 4","pages":"1063-1085"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148823197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
