Abstract
•IODP Expedition 331 drilled five sites in the Iheya North hydrothermal field.•We present new whole rock geochemical, minero-chemical and microstructural constraints.•At site C0016 massive sphalerite-rich sulfides were intersected.•Underlying volcanic rocks exhibit quartz-muscovite/illite and quartz-Mg-chlorite alteration.•The Iheya North hydrothermal system represents a modern analogue for Kuroko-type deposits.
