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
31 : Thermally altered carbonate, phosphate, and iron formations	50
40 : Regional metamorphism (greenschist, amphibolite, granulite facies)	39
34 : Complex granite pegmatites	18
23 : Subaerial aqueous alteration by non-redox-sensitive fluids (see also #47)	13
12 : Hadean hydrothermal subsurface sulfide deposits (see also #33)	12
33 : Minerals deposited by hydrothermal metal-rich fluids (see also [#12])	11
37 : Layered igneous intrusions and related PGE minerals	11
26 : Hadean detrital minerals	9
