摘要
All hydrothermal metal deposits had experienced a flow process, in which the ore-forming metal moved from sources through pores or fractures to precipitation environment as a solution. In these processes, their features were determined by the paths, and in turn, the solutions also changed the characteristics of the paths. In this paper, the authors summarize the recent results and progress in the study of the control of pores, fractures and related permeability on the hydrothermal ore-forming processes.
