Why is it important?
Volcano exhausts can be a valuable source of some rare and precious metals, but the question is to understand the non-trivial nature of the formation of metal deposits.
Perspectives
The presented discussion is based on naturally observed phenomenon/ It would be interesting to reproduce it under laboratory conditions.
