    This document summarizes research on volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits. It covers three chapters: 1) the regional environment of VMS deposits, discussing factors like tectonic setting and spreading rates; 2) the physical volcanology of VMS deposits, including the role of water and types of volcanic rocks; and 3) hydrothermal alteration patterns associated with VMS deposits. Recognition of volcanic facies like pillow lavas and hyaloclastites is important as they provide favorable textures for mineralization. Hydrothermal alteration zones preserve evidence of fluid flow and can be useful guides in mineral exploration. Understanding the interplay between tectonics, volcanism and hydrothermal systems is key to developing models for VMS

    Conceptual diagram showing the evolution of a caldera-related


    submarine magmatic-hydrothermal system. A, Asymmetric collapse of
    the caldera allows influx of seawater along opening caldera margin
    fault; erupted pyroclastic deposits pond within the developing
    asymmetric basin. B, Cold seawater flows downward along outer
    inward-dipping faults, while hot mineralizing fluids move up along a
    series of outward-dipping faults resulting from piecemeal caldera
    collapse. As a result, massive sulfide deposits can form in a number
    of locations and possible water depths within the caldera. C, Caldera
    resurgence, related to renewed magmatism and intrusion into roof
    rocks above the main magma chamber, is accompanied by the
    formation of tensional faults as the center of the caldera is uplifted.
    This permits additional hydrothermal fluid circulation and formation of
    additional massive sulfide deposits in the central parts of the caldera.

    The chemical and mineralogical distributions of


    hydrothermal alteration zones are generally the only direct

    evidence of fluid circulation


    recognition of this arrangement, may provide
    information useful in mineral exploration
    in the field may provide important evidence that a

    occurrence of VMS deposits.
