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
24 : Authigenic minerals in terrestrial sediments (see also #17)	50
10 : Basalt-hosted zeolite minerals	47
16 : Low-𝑇 aqueous alteration of Hadean subaerial lithologies (see also #23)	45
48 : Soil leaching zone minerals	38
23 : Subaerial aqueous alteration by non-redox-sensitive fluids (see also #47)	36
14 : Hot springs, geysers, and other subaerial geothermal minerals	22
