Sodic Alteration

Sodic Alteration is a type of hydrothermal alteration process in which the host rock undergoes mineralogical and chemical changes predominantly through the introduction of sodium-rich fluids, leading to the formation of sodic minerals such as albite, amphibole, or chlorite, thereby distinguishing it from other alteration types by its characteristic alkali element mobility and mineral assemblage.
