Michigan native copper district also show a narrow range just larger than 0.1xand suggest a common homogeneous source for
Cu in this large hydrothermal system. Later copper sulfide and arsenide minerals from this district range to values more than 2x
lower than native copper. Ratios for chalcopyrite and bornite from moderate to high-temperature porphyry, skarn, and
replacement deposits as a group and within individual deposits exhibit a broad range of values. Variations of nearly 1xare
observed over distances on the order of 1 m. In some cases, these variations may result from multiple mineralization events or
copper remobilization during retrograde or later hydrothermal activity. Fractionations between chalcopyrite and bornite, where
they occur in the same sample or in related samples, cluster near 0.4x, suggesting equilibrium Cu isotope fractionation between
them at moderate temperatures. In addition, weathering of hydrothermal copper minerals produces a wide range of values in
secondary copper phases. In the supergene environment, cuprite typically has higher values than associated native copper.
Therefore, redox states appear to exert a significant control over fractionation at low temperatures. Significant questions remain
to be answered. Before the source of copper in hydrothermal environments can be fully addressed, source reservoir Cu ratios need
to be determined, and chemical and physical factors that control Cu isotope fractionation must be quantitatively defined.
