Palladium and gold mineralization in podiform chromitite at Kraubath, Austria

Summary ?We report, for the first time, the occurrence of five palladium-rich, one palladium bearing and two gold-silver minerals from podiform chromitites in the Eastern Alps. Minerals identified include braggite, keithconnite, stibiopalladinite, potarite, mertieite II, Pd-bearing Pt-Fe alloy, native gold and Ag-Au alloy. They occur in heavy mineral concentrates produced from two massive podiform chromitite samples (unaltered and highly altered) of the Kraubath ultramafic massif, Styria, Austria. Distribution patterns of platinum-group elements (PGE) in these chromitites show considerable differences in the behaviour of the less refractory PGE (PPGE-group: Rh, Pt, Pd) compared to the refractory PGE (IPGE-group: Os, Ir, Ru). PPGE are more enriched in chromitite showing pronounced alteration features. The unaltered chromitite displays a negatively sloped chondrite-normalised PGE pattern similar to typical ophiolitic-podiform chromitite. Except for the Pd- and Au-Ag minerals that are generally rare in ophiolites, about 20 other platinum-group minerals (PGM) have been discovered. They include PGE-sulphides (laurite, erlichmanite, kashinite, bowieite, cuproiridsite, cuprorhodsite, unnamed Ir-rich variety of ferrorhodsite, unnamed Ni-Fe-Cu-Rh- and Ni-Fe-Cu-Ir-Rh monosulphides), PGE alloys (Pt-Fe, Ir-Os, Os-Ir and Ru-Os-Ir), PGE-sulpharsenides (irarsite, hollingworthite, platarsite, ruarsite and a number of intermediate species), sperrylite and a Ru-rich oxide (?). Three PGM assemblages have been recognised and attributed to different processes ranging from magmatic to hydrothermal and weathering-related. Pd-rich minerals are characteristic of both chromitite types, although their chemistry and relative proportions vary considerably. Keithconnite, braggite and Pd-bearing ferroan platinum, together with a number of PGE-sulphides (mainly laurite-erlichmanite) and alloys, are typical only of the unaltered podiform chromitite (assemblage I). Euhedral mono- and polyphase PGM grains in the submicron to 100 μm range show features of primary magmatic assemblages. The diversity of PGM in these assemblages is unusual for ophiolitic environments. In assemblage II, laurite-erlichmanite is intergrown with and overgrown by PGE-sulpharsenides; other minerals of assemblage I are missing. Potarite, stibiopalladinite, mertieite II, native gold and Ag-Au alloys, as well as PGE-sulpharsenides, sperrylite and base metal arsenides and sulphides are characteristic for the highly altered chromitite (assemblage III). They occur either interstitial to chromite in association with metamorphic silicates, in chromite rims or along cracks, and are thus interpreted as having formed by remobilization of PGE by hydrothermal processes during polyphase regional metamorphism.

热液成矿作用地球化学:以金矿为例

文中以金矿为例总结了热液成矿地球化学特征,包括热液蚀变、金在成矿热液中的地球化学行为、富集-沉淀机制以及在硫化物中的存在形式。热液蚀变过程中形成的矿物组合反映了成矿流体的地球化学特征,蚀变模式具有重要的找矿勘探意义。在热液体系中,金主要以Au-Cl或者Au-S络合物的形式进行运移,体系温度、压力、氧逸度以及硫逸度等条件的变化是导致络合物分解、金沉淀的主要机制。在较高压力条件下,金趋向于在热液蒸汽相中富集。As和Sb是金矿热液体系中常见的伴生元素,在较低硫逸度条件下,形成自然砷/自然锑-自然金组合。金从热液中沉淀后主要以显微包裹体或者固溶体金的形式赋存于黄铜矿、毒砂、磁黄铁矿以及黄铁矿等硫化物中,而硫化物中固溶体金的量主要受热液H_2S活动性的控制。

Metal contamination and retention of the former mining site Schwarzwand (Salzburg,Austria)

The Schwarzwand is a unique hygric, Cu-contaminated habitat formed by mining activities from the 16th to 18th century. Today, a large spoil heap and several creeks fed by Cu-rich mine drainage are present. The vegetation of the Schwarzwand differs clearly from the surrounding subalpine forests. It is by no means impoverished but rather a hotspot of biodiversity. Interestingly, most of the Cu precipitates within the Schwarzwand and the creeks leave the Schwarzwand virtually clean. This study maps the distribution of Cu within the Schwarzwand and within selected vascular plants, moss and microorganisms and correlates them with water and soil chemistry in order to identify the sinks of Cu and to elucidate the remarkable capability of the Schwarzwand for natural attenuation.Two types of water could be distinguished, one acidic precipitating limonite with a constant Cu content of about 0.6 mg L⁻¹, and one circumneutral, which decreases far more rapidly in Cu content than would be expected due to chemical considerations. A dense microbial mat covering most of the bed of the circumneutral creeks could be identified as the main sink. It consists of the cyanobacterium Phormidium sp. and retains Cu both by adsorption to mucilaginous sheaths and by precipitation as secondary minerals such as sampleite. Layers of dead biofilm can be found covered by a few centimetres of soil at the banks of the circumneutral creeks; the extremely high concentration and the low solubility of Cu in this soil indicates permanent immobilisation of the metals. High concentrations of Cu were also found in mosses of the family Bryaceae which, however, play a negligible role for the metal retention of the habitat due to their low biomass.The retention of Cu within the Schwarzwand is a remarkable example of the sustainable self-cleaning of a contaminated habitat which takes place without any human intervention. The artificial establishment of microbial communities similar to the Schwarzwand could result in cheap and sustainable strategies for the remediation of suitable metal-contaminated waters.     

Structural geochemistry of gold mineralization in the Linglong-Jiaojia district, Shandong Province, China

The Linglong-Jiaojia district is one of the most important regions containing gold deposits in China. These gold deposits can be divided into: a) the pyrite-gold-quartz vein type (Linglong type), which is controlled by brittle-ductile to ductile deformation structures, and b) the alteration-zone type (Jiaojia type), characterized by small veinlets, or the disseminated type recognized in brittle shear zones. Lode gold deposits in the Jiaojia area occur in NE brittle fracture zones, formed in a dominantly simple shear deformation regime, mainly in thrust attitude with a minor sinistral strike slip component. In the Linglong area, the lode gold deposits are located at the intersection of three types of structures: NNE and NE brittle-ductile fault zones and the ENE ductile reverse shear zone in the south of the area. The structural characteristics of these brittle shear zones are consistent with a tectonic NNW-SSE principal stress field orientation. Similar stresses explain the ENE Qixia fold axes, the Potouqing and several other ENE reverse ductile shear zones elsewhere in the region, the Tancheng-Lujiang fault zone and its subsidiaries in the vicinity of the Linglong-Jiaojia district, as well as the southern ENE suture zone north of Qingdao. Therefore these structural systems occurred as part of different major tectonic events under NNW-SSE compression principal stress fields in the area. Gold deposits are hosted in smaller-scale structures within the brittle fault zones and brittle-ductile shear zones. Although ore bodies and, on a smaller scale, quartz ore veins often seem to be randomly oriented, it is possible to explain their distribution and orientation in terms of the simple shear deformation process under which they were developed. The progressive simple shear failure is characterized by various fracture modes (tension and shear) that intervene in sequence. The tension and shear fractures are influenced by the stress level (depth of burial beneath the paleosurface) in their structural behavior, show variable dilatancy (void openings) and extend on all scales. By making use of these characteristics, a progressive failure analysis can be applied to predicting the shape and extent of ore bodies as well as the styles of mineralization at any given location.     

胶东大磨曲家金矿床岩石磁组构、构造变形与金矿化

在胶东地区招远-平度断裂带上的大磨曲家金矿区选取了典型的构造区域进行岩石磁组构研究。沿着断裂带在不同构造部位的36个采样点钻取了112个定向岩心样品,所有样品均沿勘探线布置。磁组构研究显示,研究区以弱磁性岩石为主,总体上,胶东群变质岩的磁化率值较高,而玲珑黑云母花岗岩的磁化率值较低,尤以碎裂程度高的强蚀变岩的磁化率值最低;磁化率各向异性方位主要为NE向挤压,磁组构所指示的构造应力场与大磨曲家矿区的区域挤压应力方向是相同的;对具不同程度矿化的81线的Au含量与80线磁组构各向异性度(P值)进行对比研究发现,P值与金品位呈负相关关系;弱矿化糜棱岩中的金矿化在磁面理发育的岩石中较为发育,成矿晚期,Au元素含量随着岩石磁性的减弱而增加,特别是在强应变后弛豫阶段矿液充填于相对张性的石英脉中Au含量最高。     

微细浸染状金矿化与脉状金-锑矿化关系:西秦岭阳山金矿带例析

阳山是西秦岭金矿带已探明金储量最大的独立金矿,金矿化主要呈微细浸染状分布于千枚岩和花岗质岩脉中,锑矿化主要分布于花岗质岩脉与千枚岩接触带的石英±方解石脉中,是研究微细浸染状金矿化与脉状金-锑矿化的时间、空间和成因关系的理想选区。成矿主阶段微细浸染状黄铁矿-毒砂矿化已有大量研究,而晚阶段脉状金-锑矿化特征及其与主阶段微细浸染状金矿化关系尚待查明。论文系统研究了成矿晚阶段流体包裹体组合特征、辉锑矿及石英的矿物学、稀土和微量元素特征,并与成矿主阶段进行对比,以期理清阳山金矿带金矿化与锑矿化的关系。流体包裹体组合显微测温结果显示,成矿晚阶段流体均一温度为271.3～288.3℃,具有中低温、低盐度、富Cl和CO_2、还原性的变质流体来源的特征,与成矿主阶段一致。辉锑矿呈轻稀土富集、重稀土亏损的"右倾式"稀土配分模式,并可见中-弱的Eu负异常和强的Ce负异常,与千枚岩和花岗质岩脉的稀土元素配分模式相似。辉锑矿富含Ag、Au、As等微量元素,与赋矿围岩中这些元素的高背景值有关。结合硫化物硫同位素数据,指示阳山金矿带成矿物质来源可能为赋矿的千枚岩和花岗质岩脉:在区域构造抬升引发的退变质过程中,千枚岩和花岗质岩脉发生变质脱挥发分作用,释放出金等成矿物质。金矿化与锑矿化贯穿整个成矿作用,随着成矿温度、压力的变化,以及成矿流体成分的演化,成矿早、主阶段以微细浸染状含金硫化物为主,发育位置较深,成矿晚阶段以自然金-辉锑矿脉为主,发育位置较浅,在矿带尺度上符合造山型金矿地壳连续成矿模式的垂向分布规律。本文查明了阳山金矿带微细浸染状金矿化与脉状金-锑矿化的关系,明确其为造山型金矿浅成金-锑矿化,并在此基础上提出了找矿方向,为西秦岭及其他地区类似金矿床的理论研究与找矿勘探提供了有益参考。     

Magma mixing and gold mineralization in the Maevatanana gold deposit,Madagascar

The Maevatanana gold deposit in Madagascar is hosted by Archean metamorphic rocks in quartz–sulfide veins that are structurally controlled by NNW–SSE trending shear zones. Fluid inclusion data show that the trapping conditions in quartz range from 0.87 to 2.58 kbar at temperatures of 269–362 °C. Laser Raman spectroscopy confirms that these inclusions consist of CO₂, SO₂, and H₂O. The δ³⁴S values of the pyrites range from 1.7‰ to 3.6‰, with an average of 2.25‰, supporting a magmatic origin. Noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Ke, Xe) are chemically inert, thus will not be involved in chemical reactions during geological processes. Also due to the low concentration of He in the atmosphere and the low solubility of He in aqueous fluids, the atmosphere-derived He is unlikely to significantly affect He abundances and isotopic ratios of crustal fluids, ensures that He production should have the typical crust ³He/⁴He ratios. The ³He/⁴He ratios of fluid inclusions in pyrite from the deposit range from 0.06 to 0.12 Ra, while the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar ratios range from 6631 to 11441. We infer that the ore-forming fluids could have been exsolved from a granitic magma. The oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions of the ore-forming fluids (1.5‰ ≤ δ¹⁸O_H2O ≤ 7.8‰; –72‰ ≤ δD ≤ –117‰) indicate they were derived from a granitic magma. Four pyrite samples from the gold deposit yield a precise Re–Os isochron age of 534 ± 13 Ma. Given that the post-collisional granites in northern and central Madagascar were derived by melting of sub-continental lithospheric mantle and formed between 537 and 522 Ma, we can state that the gold metallogenesis was coeval with the crystallization age of these parental magmas. These data could be accounted for the formation of the Maevatanana gold deposit. First, the shear zones hosting the deposit formed around 2.5 Ga, when the Madagascan micro-continental blocks collided with other continental blocks, triggering large-scale tectono-magmatic activity and forming NNW–SSE trending shear zones. The gold mineralization at Maevatanana is coeval with the crystallization age of the Cambrian post-collisional A-type granitoid plutons in northern and central Madagascar, implying that this deposit is associated with extensional collapse of the East African Orogen. This extension in turn induced asthenospheric upwelling, melting of sub-continental lithospheric mantle. These magmas underplated the lower crust, generating voluminous granitic magmas by partial melting of the lower crust. The mixing magma during tectono-thermal reactivation of the East African Orogen produced large volumes of volatiles that extracted gold from the granitic magma and produced Au–S complexes (e.g., Au(HSO₃)²⁻). The shear zones, which were then placed under extensional collapse of the East African Orogen in the Cambrian, formed favorable pathways for the magmatic ore-forming fluids. These fluids then precipitated gold-sulfides that form the Maevatanana gold deposit.     

河南省大河沟锑矿床构造-流体与低温成矿

大河沟锑矿床分布在中元古界秦岭群变质岩内,矿体产出受双槐树深大断裂及其旁侧断裂控制,是一个构造控矿因素明显的低温热液矿床。为了深入探索它的成矿构造与成矿元素富集的有机联系及成矿机理,选择矿床内典型构造岩开展了构造岩特征和矿石的主微量元素、矿石矿物学、同位素地球化学和包裹体测试等分析。研究结果表明:矿床分布受区域韧性剪切带的控制,矿体围岩的糜棱岩化时限198.6"4.74Ma,并具有成矿元素矿源层的性质;辉锑矿可能在单一环境和封闭条件下形成,有独特的辉锑矿晶体特征峰值,含高的As、Au、Ag、Mo、Hg、Pb和Zn元素;方解石矿物的C—O同位素属于岩浆-地幔来源;辉锑矿硫同位素的值域为δ34S介于1.8‰~2.6‰之间,铅同位素显示地层铅的变化与辉锑矿相近;包裹体成分的测定表明流体具有硫酸盐的性质,局部为重碳酸根型水溶液,以热液改造沉积卤水为特征,成矿作用在还原条件下进行,石英包裹体中含有较高的H2暗示成矿流体具有深源性质。综合研究认为,矿床形成作用是深部热流体沿深大断裂活动,萃取了韧性剪切变形构造带中活动的金属元素,然后在还原条件和低温环境中沉淀成矿,成矿类型厘定为构造-流体制约的变质型矿床。     

大坪金矿床主矿体控矿构造与矿化富集规律

大坪金矿床位于哀牢山金矿带南部,为研究其规模最大的V1-2-3号矿体的控矿构造和矿化富集规律,本文研究总结了矿体地质特征,对矿体的多级控矿构造及力学性质进行剖析,采用矿体垂直纵投影图对厚度、品位及其剩余值、趋势值等值线图进行分析。研究结果表明:金矿主要受三级断裂构造控制:红河-哀牢山深大断裂控制整个金矿成矿带;小新街断裂为导矿构造;小新街断裂的次级断裂带为容矿构造。在构造应力机制发生转换的大规模成矿时期,矿区受到由顺时针旋转变为逆时针旋转的构造应力场作用,控矿断裂性质由左行压扭性转变为张性。构造应力场严格控制了矿体的空间位置、规模、形态、矿体厚度与品位变化特征。成矿流体运移方向为北西-南东方向,在多期、多阶段成矿作用下,形成层状分布矿化富集带。研究厘定了V1-2-3号矿体共有3个矿化富集带,包括7个矿化富集中心,其侧伏方向为北西-南东方向。矿化富集中心大多形成于构造引张的部位,形成透镜状富厚矿体;在构造闭合的地方,矿脉变薄、品位降低,形成贫化带或无矿段。

Alkali element mobility as a vector for gold mineralization: An example from Central Brazil

The Brazilian Pilar and Três Buracos Paleoproterozoic mid-tier gold deposits are located in the south western Pilar de Goiás greenstone belt, containing 61,688 kg and 7,144 kg of gold, respectively, in addition to approximately 30,000 kg of past production (1736–2018). This research aimed to assess the hypothesis that the mobility of alkali elements may be used to facilitate the discovery of new gold deposits in hydrothermal systems by creating geochemical vectors based on alkali element mobility. The hypothesis was first proposed for the mafic rocks in the West Australian Goldfields and has been adopted in other deposits worldwide (E.g., Andorinhas greenstone belt, Brazil, Pataz gold field, Peru, and Rio das Velhas gold deposit, Brazil).The procedures consisted in the analysis of metasedimentary and mafic rock types from two drill holes from the Pilar de Goiás greenstone belt, central Brazil. These drill holes have intercepted mineralized and barren rock types. The petrographic and energy dispersive spectrometric results indicated that the host rocks around the orebodies present intense sericitization, albitization, and sulfidation. The chemical results reveal that the mobile elements Cs, Rb and Ba tend to be enriched in gold-bearing rock units and depleted in barren rock units. These elements are carried by fluids and can replace K in the structure of the newly formed hydrothermal phyllosilicates forming a halo of alkali-rich elements of up to 50 m around the orebodies.The upper continental crust normalized ratio ((Cs + Rb)/Th)_UCC was adopted as an alteration index to evaluate and distinguish possible mineralized zones, with ((Cs + Rb)/Th)_UCC > 3, from barren zones, with ((Cs + Rb)/Th)_UCC < 3. The ratio ((Cs + Rb)/Th)_UCC increases towards mineralization, providing a vector to possible gold mineralization, with a threshold value > 3 indicating high prospectivity.

Deep gold mineralization features of Jiaojia metallogenic belt,Jiaodong gold Province: Based on the breakthrough of 3000 m exploration drilling

Recently, continuous breakthroughs have been made about deep gold prospecting in the Jiaodong gold province area of China. Approximately 5000 t of cumulative gold resources have been explored in Jiaodong, which has thus become an internationally noteworthy gold ore cluster. The gold exploration depth has been increased to about 2000 m from the previous <1000 m. To further explore the mineralization potential of the Jiaodong area at a depth of about 3000 m, the Shandong Institute of Geological Sciences has drilled an exploratory drillhole named “Deep drillhole ZK01” to a depth of 3266 m. Hence, as reported herein, the mineralization characteristics of the Jiaojia metallogenic belt have been successfully documented. ZK01 is, to date, the deepest borehole with an gold intersect in China, and constitutes a significant advance in deep gold prospecting in China. The findings of this study further indicate that the depth interval of 2000 m to 4000 m below the ground surface in the Wuyi Village area incorporates 912 t of inferred gold resources, while the depth interval of 2000 m to 4000 m below the surface across the Jiaodong area possesses about 4000 t of inferred gold resources. The Jiaojia Fault Belt tends to gently dip downward, having dip angles of about 25° and about 20° at vertical depths of 2000 m and 2850 m, respectively. The deep part of the Jiaojia metallogenic belt differs from the shallow and moderately deep parts about fracturing, alteration, mineralization, and tectonic type. The deep zones can generally be categorized from inside outward as cataclastic granite, granitic cataclasite, weakly beresitized granitic cataclasite, beresitized cataclasite, and gouge. These zones exhibit a gradual transitional relation or occur alternately and repeatedly. The mineralization degree of the pyritized cataclastic granite-type ore in the deep part of the Jiaojia metallogenic belt is closely related to the degree of pyrite vein development; that is, the higher the pyrite content, the wider the veins and the higher the gold grade. Compared to the shallow gold ores, the deep-seated gold ores have higher fineness and contain joseite, tetradymite, and native bismuth, suggesting that the deep gold mineralization temperature is higher and that mantle-sourced material may have contributed to this mineralization. ZK01 has also revealed that the deep-seated ore bodies in the Jiaojia metallogenic belt are principally situated above the main fracture plane (gouge) and hosted within the Linglong Granite, contradicting previous findings indicating that the moderately shallow gold ore bodies are usually hosted in the contact zone between the Linglong Granite and Jiaodong Group or meta-gabbro. These new discoveries are particularly significant because they can help correct mineralization prospecting models, determine favorable positions for deep prospecting, and improve metallogenic prediction and resource potential evaluation.     

Paleozoic Amphibolites,Kreuzeck Mountains,Austria: Geochemical variations in the vicinity of mineralization

Strata-bound antimony, mercury, tungsten and massive sulfide mineralization occurs within a metamorphosed Paleozoic volcanosedimentary sequence in the Kreuzeck Mountains, Austria. Amphibolites are a significant constituent of that sequence; on the basis of stable trace element data, they can be classified as metamorphic equivalents of recent olivine tholeiites. In the ore environment of strata-bound mineralization, intensive alteration associated with submarine hydrothermal activity has affected the wall rocks. This includes depletion in SiO₂, a change in the oxidation stage of iron and pronounced enrichment in Na, Sr, Ba and CO₂. Microprobe analyses reveal lower MgO content in chlorites and higher Na₂O content in feldspars in rocks from the ore environment. Hydrothermal halos are thus documented by changes in mineral and whole-rock compositions and represent guides to exploration.

辽宁小盘岭金矿床混合岩特征及与金成矿的关系

辽宁绥中小盘岭金矿床位于混合岩化中心带的混合花岗岩内，其中间带主要为混合片麻岩，外带为以条带状混合岩为主的混合杂岩。通过对各类混合岩中造岩矿物光学特征的对比，发现随着混合岩化程度的增强，矿物光学特征有规律地变化。根据岩石中矿物的交代关系，确定在混合岩化作用过程中至少有4期热液活动。通过将区域原变质岩、混合岩和与金矿成矿有关的花岗岩类岩石地球化学成分的对比，中心带的混合花岗岩与金成矿关系密切，其原岩——厚层状黑云母斜长片麻岩很可能是金成矿的重要矿源岩，其中发育的长英质岩脉是金成矿的一个重要标志。
