Plumbotectonic aspects of polymetallic vein mineralization in Paleozoic sediments and Proterozoic basement of Moravia (Czech Republic)

A regional isotopic study of Pb and S in hydrothermal galenas and U–Pb and S in potential source rocks was carried out for part of Moravia, Czech Republic. Two major generations of veins, (syn-) Variscan and post-Variscan, are defined based on the Pb-isotope system together with structural constraints (local structures and regional trends). The Pb-isotopic compositions of galena plot in two distinct populations with outliers in ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb–²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb space. Galena from veins hosted in greywackes provides a cluster with the lowest Pb–Pb ratios: ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 18.15–18.27, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 15.59–15.61, ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 38.11–38.23. Those hosted in both limestones and greywackes provide the second cluster: ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 18.37–18.44, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 15.60–15.63, ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 38.14–38.32. These clusters suggest model Pb ages as Early Carboniferous and Triassic–Jurassic, the latter associated with MVT-like deposits. Two samples from veins hosted in Proterozoic rocks lie outside the two clusters: in metagranitoid (²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 18.55, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 15.64, ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 38.29) and in orthogneiss (²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 18.79, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 15.73, ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 38.54). The results from these two samples suggest an interaction of mineralizing fluids with the radiogenic Pb-rich source (basement?). The values of δ³⁴S suggest the Paleozoic host rocks (mostly ?6.7 to +5.2‰ CDT) as the source of S for hydrothermal sulfides (mostly ?4.8 to +2.5‰ CDT). U–Pb data and Pb isotope evolutionary curves indicate that Late Devonian and Early Carboniferous sediments, especially siliciclastics, are the general dominant contributor of Pb for galena mineralization developed in sedimentary rocks. Plumbotectonic mixing occurred, it is deduced, only between the lower and the upper crust (the latter involving Proterozoic basement containing heterogeneous radiogenic Pb), without any significant input from the mantle. It is concluded that in the Moravo–Silesian and Rhenohercynian zones (including proximal districts in Poland) lead and sulfur have been mobilized from the adjacent rocks during multiple hydrothermal events in processes that are remarkably comparable in timing, geochemistry of fluids and nature of sources.     

Derivation of detrital rutile in the Yaoundé region from the Neoproterozoic Pan-African belt in southern Cameroon (Central Africa)

Rutile, as an important component in alluvial or eluvial heavy mineral deposits, is known in southern Cameroon. These deposits are underlain by the Neoproterozoic low- to high-grade Yaoundé Group. Geochemical, thermometric, fluid inclusion and Pb isotopic studies of the rutile from alluvial and eluvial concentrates and from medium-grade micaschist from the nearby Yaoundé region permit the following conclusions: (1) alluvial and eluvial rutile of the Yaoundé region are derived from the degradation of metapelites, metamafic rocks and pegmatites of the nearby Yaoundé Group; (2) rutile in the Yaoundé Group formed during the Pan-African metamorphism, or was inherited as detrital rutile from a 900 Ma source. The study also shows that the rutile can be used to trace the history of the Pan-African belt north of the Congo craton.     

Pb-Isotope Analyses of USGS Reference Materials

Conventional corrections for thermal ionisation mass spectrometer (TIMS) induced Pb-isotopic fractionation often result in a loss of accuracy because the commonly employed pure Pb reference materials (NIST SRM 981, 982) frequently exhibit markedly different fractionation behaviour to real geological samples. As a result, these SRMs are inappropriate for comparison and/or correction of inter-operator/ laboratory biases. A matrix-matched reference material would be preferable but, as yet, no systematic study has approached this problem. Here we present high quality Pb-isotope ratio determinations, obtained using a double spike procedure, for six USGS reference materials in an attempt to address this deficiency. Our data suggest that most of these rocks could be used as isotopic reference materials comparable, in terms of uncertainty, to the NIST SRMs. However, significant differences in isotopic composition exist between first (e.g. BCR-1) and second (e.g. BCR-2) generation samples. The cause of these differences remains unclear but has significant implications for their use as trace element reference materials.     

Gold potential of the Mpanda Mineral Field, SW Tanzania: evaluation based on geological, lead isotopic and aeromagnetic data

Gold and base metals of the Mpanda Mineral Field (MMF) is the focus of this paper. Gold veins and gold-bearing base metal occurrences are structurally controlled by conjugate sets of NW–SE and E–W trending faults and/or shear zones that crosscut high-grade metamorphic rocks and post-kinematic intrusions. It was anticipated that Palaeoproterozic country rocks could have been potential host rocks for the gold mineralisation in this area. This argumentation was based on Pb model ages of various deposits from the MMF. Recent fieldwork and Pb isotopic results presented herein indicate that epigenetic gold and base metal vein-type mineralisation in the MMF is post-Palaeoproterozoic.Our Pb isotope study concentrates on constraining the sources of metals in gold-bearing quartz reefs and base metal occurrences. Pb isotopes of whole rocks and minerals indicate that mineralisation was emplaced during the Neoproterozoic, contemporaneous with the intrusion of alkaline granites and carbonatite complexes (e.g., Sangu–Ikola carbonatite complex) at 720 Ma. The source of Pb in the mineral occurrences is compatible with that characteristic of the Palaeoproterozoic host rocks. Aeromagnetic data suggest that the gold-bearing, NNW–SSE trending area continues to the north beyond Mpanda town. Pb isotope results and aeromagnetic data have significant implications for future exploration programs within the region, in that the search should potentially focus on the defined geophysical borders and trendlines, and on Neoproterozoic, rather than Palaeoproterozoic vein systems.     

大西洋洋中脊TAG热液区硫化物铅和硫同位素研究

位于大西洋洋中脊26.08°N的 TAG 热液区是目前己知的赋存在无沉积物覆盖的洋中脊区的一个最大的海底热液硫化物矿床。新测得来自 ODP-158航次钻孔的9件热液硫化物的铅、硫同位素组成;2件铁锰氧化物和1件底盘玄武岩的铅同位素组成。结果表明,矿石硫化物的铅同位素组成~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb 为18.2343～18.3181,~(207)pb/~(204)Ph 为15.4717～15.5061,~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb 为37.7371～37.8417;它们位于该区底盘玄武岩(~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb=18.1454,~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb=15.4572,~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb=37.6534)和近洋底铁锰氧化物(~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb,~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb,~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb 分别为18.6907～18.9264,15.5615～15.6279,38.1164～38.3687)的铅同位素组成之间。三者呈线性相关关系,说明硫化物中铅来源于地幔(玄武岩)与海水(铁锰氧化物)的两端元混合。硫化物的硫同位素组成δ~(34)S 为6.2‰～9.5‰,它明显高于地幔玄武岩的硫同位素组成(δ~(34)S=±0‰),也高于东太平洋海隆 EPR21°N(δ~(34)S=0.9‰～4.0‰)和大西洋洋中脊 MAR23°N(δ~(34)S=1.2‰～2.8‰)等热液活动区硫化物的硫同位素组成,这一特征反映了 TAG 热液体系中硫来源于地幔玄武岩硫与海水硫酸盐无机还原作用产生的硫的两端元混合。此,铅硫同位素研究为现代大洋底热液硫化物矿床形成过程中矿质来源及流体混合作用提供了十分有益的信息。     

An origin of the along-arc compositional variation in the Izu-Bonin arc system

The Izu-Bonin arc system is sediment-poor(～400 m thick with no accretionary prism) and,therefore,the influence of the altered oceanic crust(AOC) is most likely the source of the documented along-arc lava compositional variations,especially in Pb isotopes.Izu-Bonin arc lava geochemistry suggests an influx of subduction component from an Indian-type AOC.However,samples drilled from the western Pacific geochemical reference site at Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Site 1149 implies subduction of a Pacific-type AOC.To solve the apparent discrepancy of slab input versus arc output in this arc system,samples of the AOC were dredged from vertical fault scarps of the subducting Pacific Plate along a transect from 27.5°N to 34.50 N.Samples range from tholeiitic to mildly alkalic mid-ocean ridge basalts as well as trachybasalts,basaltic trachyandesites,tephrites,and phono-tephrites.Isotope ratios also exhibit a range of values(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr=0.70282-0.70673,143 Nd/144 Nd=0.512552-0.513174,~(206)Pb/204 Pb=18.43-20.00,207 Pb/204 Pb=15.40-15.67,~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb=37.75-39.55).Our results suggest that there is a geochemical variation in the AOC that is neither completely due to seawater or hydrothermal alteration,nor to petrogenetic processes.Rather,this variation is the result of the Pacific-Izanagi Ridge system tapping into a heterogeneous,plume-polluted mantle source during the Mid-Cretaceous volcanic event.The observed Pacific-type AOC is not responsible for the Indian-type Pb isotopic signature of Izu-Bonin arc lavas.This leads us to propose an alternative scenario where the Izu-Bonin arc lava Indian-type Pb isotopic signature originates from slab-derived fluids interacting and adsorbing Pb from an Indian-type mantle wedge through zone-refining.
