The Älgträsk intrusive hosted Au deposit, Skellefte district, northern Sweden, is situated in the oldest, most heterogeneous part of the c. 1.89–1.86 Ga Jörn granitoid complex, which intruded a complex volcano–sedimentary succession in an island arc or continental margin arc environment. The Tallberg porphyry Cu deposit, situated only 3 km west of Älgträsk, is associated with quartz feldspar porphyritic dykes. These dykes are suggested to be genetically related to similar porphyry dykes in Älgträsk and the tonalitic host rock in Tallberg. The granodiorite hosting the Älgträsk Au-deposit does not appear to be genetically related to the tonalite or the porphyry dykes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
