Platinum-group mineralization at the margin of the Skaergaard intrusion, East Greenland
Two occurrences of platinum-group elements (PGEs) along the northern margin of the Skaergaard intrusion include a sulfide-bearing gabbro with slightly less than 1 ppm PGE + Au and a clinopyroxene-actinolite-plagioclase-biotiteilmenite schist with 16 vol% sulfide and 1.8 ppm PGE + Au. Both have assemblages of pyrrhotite, pentlandite, and chalcopyrite typical for orthomagmatic sulfides. Matching ...
متن کاملThermal and Fluid Dynamics of Komatiitic Lavas Associated with Magmatic Fe- Ni-Cu-(PGE) Sulphide Deposits
The most important examples of magmatic ore deposits in volcanic rocks are Fe-Ni-Cu-(PGE) sulphides associated with Archean and Proterozoic komatiitic lava channels (Lesher, 1989). Komatiitehosted ores contain ~25% of the world’s nickel sulphide resource (≥ 0.8% Ni), including significant amounts of copper and platinum group elements (Ross and Travis, 1981). Field, experimental, and theoretical...
متن کاملStratiform Palladium-Platinum-Gold Mineralization in the Sonju Lake Intrusion, Lake County, Minnesota A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY
The Sonju Lake intrusion (SLI) is a 1200-m thick, sheet-like, tholeiitic layered intrusion located within the 1096 Ma Beaver Bay Complex of NE Minnesota. Its cumulus stratigraphy of Ol Pl+Ol Pl+Cpx+Ol Pl+Cpx+Ox±Ol Pl+Cpx+Ox+Ol+Ap indicates formation by closed-system fractional crystallization of a tholeiitic magma. In 1999, outcrop sampling revealed a stratiform PGE-enriched interval within oxi...
متن کاملThe role of surface geochemistry in the discovery of the Babel and Nebo magmatic nickel–copper–PGE deposits
The inexpensive geochemical exploration technique based on broadspaced deflation lag sampling played a key role in the discovery of the Babel and Nebo ortho-magmatic Ni–Cu–platinum group elements (PGE) deposits. An area of 1100 km in the western Musgrave Block in central Australia was explored using deflation lag samples collected on a 1 km 0.5 km grid. A total of 35 elements were determined us...
متن کاملبررسی خاستگاه کانسار جارو با کاربرد دادههای ژئوشیمیایی سنگ میزبان، شیمی کانهها و بررسی شارههای درگیر کوارتز: معرفی پتانسیل اقتصادی طلا و نقره
Jarou deposit, with age of Middle Eocene –Oligocene, is located in 60 km to the southwest of Karaj and lies within magmatic rocks with felsic to basic composition. Host rock geochemical results have implied a calc-alkaline nature, magmatism related to an extensional back arc regime and lack of economic potential for igneous rocks. Petrographic and geochemical evidences of Cu minerals have shown...
