Key: Mineral matches key element mineralogy of deposit Key element(s) in mineral not listed for deposit (-20% score)

Predicting paragenetic modes of deposit

Green indicates almost certain match based on minerals unique to a certain deposit type. Yellow indicates a possibly poor match, but should not be entirely discounted. Scores > 100 indicate strong confidence.

Paragenetic Mode	Score
34 : Complex granite pegmatites	50
26 : Hadean detrital minerals	44
23 : Subaerial aqueous alteration by non-redox-sensitive fluids (see also #47)	10
35 : Ultra-alkali and agpaitic igneous rocks	10
19 : Granitic intrusive rocks	9
36 : Carbonatites, kimberlites, and related igneous rocks	6
40 : Regional metamorphism (greenschist, amphibolite, granulite facies)	6
47a : Low-𝑇 subaerial oxidative hydration, weathering (see also #16 and #23) - [Near-surface hydration of prior minerals]	4
47f : Low-𝑇 subaerial oxidative hydration, weathering (see also #16 and #23) - [Uranyl (U⁶⁺) minerals]	4
55 : Anthropogenic mine minerals	4
