Metasomatism is initiated by the separation of a magmatic-hydrothermal fluid released by crystallization and hydrofracturing of the pluton, which may combine with metamorphic waters to transport base metal cations and sulphur. Metasomatic fluids pass along pluton and dyke contacts, stratigraphic contacts, fractures and other permeable pathways and infiltrate the surrounding wall rocks. 2, record 3, English, - metasomatic%20fluid
