Rapid growth of mineral deposits at artificial seafloor hydrothermal vents

Rapid growth of mineral deposits at artificial seafloor hydrothermal vents

Seafloor massive sulphide deposits are potential resources for base and precious metals (Cu-Pb-Zn ± Ag ± Au), but difficulties in estimating precise reserves and assessing environmental impacts hinder exploration and commercial mining. Here, we report petrological and geochemical properties of sulph...
