TL;DR: The first active high-temperature hydrothermal field found on any ultra-low mid-ocean ridge worldwide was reported in this article, located on Southwest Indian Ridge at 37°47′S, 49°39′E, and it consists of three zones extending ∼1000 m laterally.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the recent research advances about hydrothermal activity of the southwest Indian ridge (SWIR) by the CDCs and highlighted the controlling factors of sulfide mineralization on the SWIR, prospecting methods of inactive and buried sulfide deposits, sulfides resources assessment method, and the near-bottom sulfides exploration technology systems.

TL;DR: Geochemical and geophysical datasets are presented that suggest a hydrothermal system penetrating the upper lithospheric mantle at an ultra-slow spreading mid-oceanic ridge.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed mineralogical, textural and geochemical compositions of the sulfide chimneys obtained from the 49°39′E/37°47′S on the ultraslow spreading Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR).

TL;DR: The Yuhuang-1 hydrothermal field (HF) was discovered recently on the ultraslow-spreading Southwest Indian Ridge (segment 29) as mentioned in this paper, which comprises two main sulfide deposition areas, including the southwest sulfide area (SWS) and the northeast sulfides area (NES), all of which are about 500m in diameter.
