Hydrothermal vein ore deposits consist of discrete veins or groups of closely spaced veins. Veins are believed to be precipitated by hydrothermal solutions travelling along discontinuities in a rockmass. [10] They are commonly epithermal in origin, that is to say they form at relatively high crustal levels and moderate to low temperatures.

1 Introduction. Syntaxial crack-seal veins (Ramsay, 1980) are first order structures in deep, hydrothermal and reactive environments where fluids create and moderate permeability and reactions interact with deformation.The coupled processes in crack-seal veins are far from being understood, whereas the recent review of Laubach et al. points out some of the knowledge gaps.

The very localized hydrothermal systems responsible for the deposition of the minerals in Alpine Fissure-type veins are capable of dissolving rock-forming minerals, including relatively immobile substances like titanium oxides. Compressive pressure-solution mechanisms are thought to be involved with the dissolution process.

Hydrothermal mineral deposits are accumulations of valuable minerals which formed from hot waters circulating in Earth's crust through fractures. They eventually create metallic-rich fluids concentrated in a selected volume of rock which become supersaturated and then precipitate ore minerals.

Hydrothermal veins are a combination of the two ways that crystals form. Magma contains water as well as molten rock. Because it is underground, and under tremendous pressure, the water stays a liquid. At very high temperatures and pressure, that water can dissolve quite a few minerals. As the magma cools, the last part that is still a liquid is the quartz and the high

Such deposits are called hydrothermal veins. They usually contain quartz along with ore minerals because fluids usually contain lots of dissolved silica. Gold, for example, is often found in veins with quartz. But hydrothermal deposits may also form on the ocean bottom.

Epithermal — mineral ore deposits formed at low temperatures (50-200 °C) near the Earth's surface (<1500 m), that fill veins, breccias, and stockworks. Telethermal — mineral ore deposits formed at shallow depth and relatively low temperatures, with little or no wall-rock alteration, presumably far from the source of hydrothermal solutions.
