The Role of Active Geothermal Systems and Epithermal Mineral Deposits

This session is focused on answering what can actively producing geothermal systems tell us about processes that lead to precious metal mineralization and how that information might be used to help find new epithermal mineral deposits.  Similarly, what can explored epithermal prospects and mines inform us about geothermal processes in three dimensions and how temperature and composition of fluids and types and rates of mineral deposition may change with time (on the order of tens to hundreds of thousands of years).
