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
33 : Minerals deposited by hydrothermal metal-rich fluids (see also [#12])	50
37 : Layered igneous intrusions and related PGE minerals	49
36 : Carbonatites, kimberlites, and related igneous rocks	5
38 : Ophiolites	4
7 : Ultramafic igneous rocks	2
6 : Secondary asteroid phases	2
40 : Regional metamorphism (greenschist, amphibolite, granulite facies)	2
12 : Hadean hydrothermal subsurface sulfide deposits (see also #33)	2
