This long manuscript gathers mineralogical and geochemical data on ore and hosting volcanic samples from the Dominican Cerro de Maimón and the Cubans San Fernando and Antonio VMS deposits.
Lithochemistry of the hosting volcanics from the Maimón and Los Pasos Formations points to an exceptional record of the very first magmatic expressions connected to the subduction initiation of an intraoceanic case.
The joint study of the VMS mineralizations hosted in both Formations are an appealing opportunity to describe and understand VMS mineralizing systems linked to the most primitive arc volcanism in fore-arc settings.
