Abstract: Abstract The transport of noble metals (Au, Ag) by metal-rich melts in hydrothermal ore systems is now acknowledged as a complementary mechanism to complexing ligands in solution. However, it is unclear where/when both mechanisms coexist and whether metal-rich melts can be physically transported by hydrothermal fluids. Here we show evidence for a suspension-like transport of nano-to-micron-sized metal-rich sulfide-sulfosalt melts within epithermal fluids at
