    Notes: Abstract Small bodies of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, minor pentlandite, and magnetite occur at the peripheries of podiform bodies of chromite in ultramafic ophiolitic rocks at Tsangli, Eretria, central Greece. Banding of magnetite and sulfide within the bodies is reminiscent of magmatic banding. A magmatic origin has been proposed for similar sulfide masses in the Troodos ophiolite (Panayiotou, 1980). The compositions of the host rocks, chromite, and of the sulfides have been investigated. On average, the sulfide mineralization, recalculated to metal content in 100% sulfide, contains 0.55% Ni, 5.15% Cu, 0.29% Co, 9 ppb Pd, 179 ppb Pt, 16 ppb Rh, 112 ppb Ru, 31 ppb Ir, 58 ppb Os, and 212 ppb Au. These metal contents, particularly the high Cu/(Cu+Ni) ratio of 0.78 and the Pt/(Pd+Pt) ratio of 0.95, are inconsistent with the sulfides having reached equilibrium with their Ni rich host rocks at magmatic temperatures and accordingly it is concluded that they are not of magmatic origin. The average δ 34S value of the sulfide bodies is +2 while that of a sample of pyrite from country-rock schist is −15.6. These values are inconclusive as to the origin of the sulfur. It is suggested that the sulfides have been precipitated by hydrothermal fluids, possibly those responsible for the serpentinization of the host rocks. The source of the metals may have been the host rocks themselves.

    Notes: Abstract Chromite-rich lithologies in both the lower and the critical zones of the Bushveld Complex in the Potgietersrus area display flat, chondrite-normalized, platinum-group-element (PGE) concentration patterns, whereas those of associated sulphide-bearing, but chromite-poor rocks are considerably steeper. The low (Pt+Pd)/(Os+Ir+Ru) ratio in the chromite-bearing rocks is maintained irrespective of the amount of sulphide or chromite in the rock. This feature suggests that the partitioning of the individual PGE into PGE-bearing phases during conditions in the magma under which crystallization of chromite in excess of the normal cotectic amounts was favoured differed from conditions under which an immiscible sulphide liquid separated from the same magma in the absence of enhanced chromite crystallization. These changes in the partitioning coefficients of the individual PGE are considered to reflect changes in the solubility of these elements in response to variations in the intensive parameters in the magma necessary to bring about the enhanced crystallization of chromite.

    Notes: Abstract Mafic and ultramafic magmatism played an important role in the 3.5 Ga long history of the Kaapvaal craton. The oldest (3.5 Ga) greenstone belts contain mafic and ultramafic volcanics that erupted in an oceanic environment, probably in oceanic plateaus. Then followed a series of continental flood basalts, from the ∼3.4 Ga old Commondale and Nondweni sequences, to the 180 Ma Karoo basalts. The history was dominated, however, by the emplacement, 2.1 Ga ago, of the Bushveld complex, an enormous layered ultramafic-mafic-felsic intrusion. Three types of ore deposits might be found in such a sequence: Ni-Cu-Fe sulfides in komatiites of the greenstone belts; “Noril'sk-type” Ni-Cu-PGE deposits in the Karoo and other flood basalts; and deposits of Cr, platinum-group elements (PGE) and V in the Bushveld and other layered intrusions. Only the latter are present. It is tempting to attribute the absence of komatiite-hosted deposits to the specific character of the ultramafic rocks in Kaapvaal greenstone belts, which are older that the 2.7 Ga komatiites that host deposits in Australia, Canada and Zimbabwe, and are of the less-common “Al-depleted” type. However, a review of mantle melting processes found no obvious connection between the character of the mantle melts and their capacity to form ore deposits. The lack of this type of deposit may be due to differences in the volcanic environment, or it may be fortuitous (the Barberton and other belts are small and could fit into deposit-free parts of the much larger Australian or Canadian belts). Still more puzzling is the absence of Noril'sk-type deposits. The Karoo and older flood basalt sequences appear to contain all the important elements of the volcanic sequences that host the Siberian deposits. It is now recognised that these deposits formed through the segregation of sulfide from magma flowing rapidly through conduits en route from deeper magma chambers to the surface. An exploration approach aimed at understanding the fluid dynamics of such systems seems warranted. Although the Bushveld intrusion has been studied for decades and its deposits are taken as type examples of magmatic mineralisation, the origin of its PGE deposits remains unclear. Opinion is divided on the relative importance of sulfide segregation from magma filling a large chamber at the time of emplacement, and the scavanging of PGE from fluids circulating through cumulates at a late magmatic stage. Answers to these questions may come from studies designed to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms through which the magma chamber filled and solidified.

    Notes: Abstract Magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide deposits form as the result of segregation and concentration of droplets of liquid sulfide from mafic or ultramafic magma, and the partitioning of chalcophile elements into these from the silicate melt. Sulfide saturation of a magma is not enough in itself to produce an ore deposit. The appropriate physical environment is required so that the sulfide liquid mixes with enough magma to become adequately enriched in chalcophile metals, and then is concentrated in a restricted locality so that the resulting concentration is of ore grade. The deposits of the Noril'sk region have developed within flat, elongate bodies (15 × 2 × 0.2 km) that intrude argillites, evaporites and coal measures, adjacent to a major, trans-crustal fault and immediately below the centre of a 3.5 km-thick volcanic basin. Studies of the overlying basalts have shown that lavas forming a 500 m-thick sequence within these have lost 75% of their Cu and Ni and more than 90% of their PGE. Overlying basalts show a gradual recovery in their chalcophile element concentrations to reach “normal” values 500 m above the top of the highly depleted zone. The ore-bearing Noril'sk-type intrusions correlate with those basalts above the depleted zone that contain “normal” levels of chalcophile elements. The high proportion of sulfide (2–10 wt.%) associated with the Noril'sk-type intrusions, the high PGE content of the ores, the extensive metamorphic aureole (100–400 m around the bodies), and the heavy sulfur isotopic composition of the ores (+8–+12 ∂34S) are explicable if the ore-bearing bodies are exit conduits from high level intrusions, along which magma has flowed en route to extrude at surface. The first magma to enter these intrusions reacted with much evaporitic sulfur, at a low “R” value and thus gave rise to sulfides with low metal tenors. Successive flow of magma through the system progressively enriched the sulfides in the conduits, losing progressively less of their chalcophile metals, and thus accounting for the upward increase in metals in successive lava flows above the highly depleted flows. The Voisey's Bay deposit lies partly within a 30–100 m-thick sheet of troctolite, interpreted as a feeder for the 1.334 Ga Voisey's Bay intrusion, and partly at the base of this intrusion, where the feeder adjoins it. Studies of olivine compositions indicate that an early pulse of magma through the feeder and into the intrusion was Ni depleted but that subsequent pulses were much less depleted. Trace element, Re-Os and S and O isotope data, and mineralogical studies indicate that the magma pulses interacted with country gneiss, probably principally in a deeper level intrusion, extracting SiO2, Na2O, K2O and possibly sulfur form the gneiss, which accounts for the magma becoming sulfide saturated. The Jinchuan deposit of north central China occurs within a 6 km-long dyke-like body of peridotite. The compositions of olivine within the dyke, the igneous rocks themselves, and the ore are all inconsistent with derivation of the body from ultramafic magma, as originally supposed, and indicate that the structure forms the keel of a much larger intrusion of magnesian basalt magma. Flow of magma into the intrusion has resulted in olivine and sulfide being retained where the keel was widening out into the intrusion. The West Australian komatiite-related deposits occur in thermal erosional troughs which have developed due to the channelisation of magma flow and the resulting thermal erosion of underlying sediments and basalt by the hot komatiite magma. The sediments are sulfide-rich, and may have contributed substantially to the sulfide of the ores. The mineralisation in the Duluth complex occurs in troctolitic intrusions along the western margin of the complex as a result of magma interacting with and extracting sulfur from the underlying graphite- and sulfide-bearing sediments. No magma flow channels have been identified so far, and the lack of magma flow subsequent to the development of sulfide immiscibility is regarded as the reason why these deposits are not of economic grade. When most major Ni-Cu sulfide deposits are compared, they prove to have a number of features in common; olivine-rich magma, proximity to a major crustal fault, sulfide-bearing country rocks, chalcophile element depletion in related intrusive or extrusive rocks, field and/or geochemical evidence of interaction between the magma and the country rocks, and the presence of or proximity to a magma conduit. The features are thought to explain the three key requirements (sulfide immiscibilty, adequate mixing between sulfides and magma, and localisation of the sulfides) discussed and have important implications with respect to exploration.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die chemische Zusammensetzung von Orthopyroxenen und Klinopyroxenen aus der ultramafischen Jinchuan Intrusion wurden mit der Mikrosonde bestimmt. Die Mg-Zahl (MgO/(MgO + FeO)) beider Pyroxene liegt innerhalb enger Grenzen, 82–87 für Klinopyroxen und 81–85.5 für Orthopyroxen. Dies weist auf beschränkte magmatische Differentiation der Intrusion hin. Der Al2O3-Gehalt liegt zwischen 2.44 Gew.%. und 4.43 Gew.%. und nimmt mit der abnehmenden Mg-Zahl der Pyroxene ab, d.h. mit dem mehr entwickelten Magma. Dies wird damit erklärt, daß Al2O3, TiO2, Cr2O3 und Fe2O3 einen größeren Einfluß auf die Kristallisation der Pyroxene ausüben als SiO2. Die Pyroxene werden durch negative lineare Beziehungen zwischen Ti4+ und Si4+, sowie Al3+ und Si4+ charakterisiert. In Klinopyroxenen resultiert die Regression von Si4+ gegen Al3+ in einer geraden Linie mit einer Neigung von −1.012. Dies weist darauf hin, daß die Abnahme der Si4+ Gehalte in die Kristallstruktur durch Zunahme von ausschliesslich tetraedrischem Al3+ kompensiert wird; oktaedrisches Al3+ ist relativ konstant geblieben. Die negative lineare Beziehung zwischen Ti4+ und Si4+ in Klinopyroxenen geht entweder auf eine stärkere Tendenz des Ti4O2, oktaedrische Plätze zu besetzen zurück, oder darauf daß ein Ersatz von Al3+ für Si4+ einen effizienteren Ladungsausgleich verlangt. Die unregelmäßige Verteilung der Plots von Ti4+ gegen Si4+ in Orthopyroxenen läßt erkennen, daß Ladungsausgleich hier nicht so kritisch ist wie die Symmetrie der Struktur. Die Kristallisationstemperatur der Pyroxene wurde mit dem Zwei Pyroxenthermometer nachWood undBanno (1973) mit 1108–1229°C bestimmt. Diese Werte liegen innerhalb von 40°C des vonWells (1977) berechneten. Der Verteilungskoeffizient (Kd) für Mg2+ und Fe2+ zwischen Klinopyroxen und Orthopyroxen wird auf 0.86 berechnet; das ist höher als der aus anderen Intrusionen und niedriger als der von Mantelxenolithen, fällt aber immer noch innerhalb des Kd-1/T Trends derselben. Dies legt den Gedanken nahe, daß der Kd Wert der Pyroxene hauptsächlich durch Temperatur bestimmt wird.
    Notes: Summary Chemical compositions of orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene from the Jinchuan ultramafic intrusion have been obtained by electron microprobe analysis. The Mg′ number (MgO/(MgO + FeO)) for both pyroxenes falls within narrow ranges, 82–87 for clinopyroxene and 81–85.5 for orthopyroxene, suggesting limited magma differentiation in regard to the present igneous body. The Al2O3 content ranges from 2.44 wt.% to 4.43 wt.% and increases with decreasing Mg′ of the pyroxenes, i.e., with the more evolved magma. This is attributed to the relatively greater effects of Al2O3, TiO2, Cr2O3 and Fe2O3 than that of SiO2 on pyroxene crystallization. Negative linear relationships between Ti4+ and Si4+, and Al3+ and Si4+ characterize the pyroxenes. In clinopyroxene, regression of Si4+ versus Al3+ results in a straight line with a slope of −1.012, indicating that the decrease of Si4+ in the crystal structure is matched by an increase only in tetrahedral Al3+; octahedral Al3+ has remained relatively constant. The negative linear relationship between Ti4+ and Si4+ in clinopyroxene reflects either a greater tendency of Ti4+ to occupy octahedral sites than Al3+, or that replacement of Al3+ for Si4+ demands a more efficient charge balance. The scatter in plots of Ti4+ versus Si4+ for orthopyroxene indicates that charge balance is not as critical as structure symmetry. The crystallization temperature of pyroxene is calculated to be 1108–1229°C usingWood andBanno's (1973) two pyroxene thermometer, and is within 40°C of that calculated fromWells's (1977) thermometer. The distribution coefficient (Kd) for Mg2+ and Fe2+ between clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene is estimated to be 0.86, which is higher than that of the other intrusions and lower than that of mantle nodules, but still falls within their Kd-1/T trend. This suggests that the Kd value of pyroxene is controlled mainly by temperature.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Dumont Sill ist eine komatiitische Intrusion, die von Duke (1986) in eine mafische (MZ) und eine ultramafische (UMZ) Zone untergliedert wurde. Die UMZ setzt sich aus einer oberen (UPZ) und einer unteren (LPZ) peridotitischen Subzone, die aus Olivinund Chromft-Kumulaten besteht, und einer dunitischen Subzone (DZ), zwischen diese beiden eingeschaltet, zusammen. Letztere besteht aus Olivin- und Sulfid-Kumulaten. Drei sulfidreiche Lagen innerhalb der DZ sind durch anomal hohe Gehalte an Ni, Cu, S und Se (Ni ≤ 0.95 Gew. %, Cu ≤ 0.07 Gew. %, S ≤ 1.0 Gew. %, Se ≤ 2.7 ppm) charakterisiert. Erhöhte Gehalte an Edelmetallen (Au ≤ 31.5 ppb, Pd ≤ 210 ppb, Pt ≤ 180 ppb, Ir ≤ 8.4 ppb, Os ≤ 6 ppb) sind ebenfalls an diese Lagen gebunden. Unvererzte Proben enthalten 〈 3–8 ppb Pd, 1–20 ppb Pt, 0.2–3.6 ppb Au, 0.5–6 ppb Ir und ≤ 1–6 ppb Os. Proben aus der LPZ und UPZ und solche aus dem Hangenden und Liegenden der Mineralisationshorizonte zeigen relativ hohe Ir-Gehalte; im allgemeinen zwischen 2.9 und 4.4 ppb. Im Gegensatz dazu sind die Ir-Gehalte sulfidfreier Proben unmittelbar über vererzten Lagen deutlich erniedrigt; sie variieren zwischen 0.1–1.5 ppb. Diese an Ir verarmte Zone entspricht einer Zone nickelarmer Olivine und Sulfide, die unmittelbar oberhalb der sulfidreichen Horizonte in der DZ kristallisierten (Duke, 1986). Es wird vermutet, daß die Ir- und Ni-Abreicherung in den Kumulaten, die oberhalb und zwischen den sulfid-reichen Zonen liegen, mit den niedrigeren Ir- und Ni-Gehalten der Olivinen zusammenhängt. Die Olivine kristallisierten aus einem Silikatmagma, von dem sich bereits eine Sulfidschmelze abgeschieden hatte. Soferne metallische Verbindungen die Ir- und Os-Verteilung in der DZ kontrollieren, würde die Ir-Abreicherung in den Kumulaten oberhalb des Erzhorizontes auf ein Ende der Kristallisation einer metallischen Phase hinweisen. Dieser Fall könnte eintreten, sobald durch die Ausscheidung von Sulfiden, die Ir-Konzentration in der silikatischen Schmelze unter die Löslichkeitsgrenze der Metallphase fällt. Die Sulfidvererzung bildete sich wahrscheinlich infolge von fraktionierter kristallisation einer Sulfid/Oxidschmelze, da die PGE Konzentrationen der Sulfidschmelze, und das PGE/S Verhältnis vom Liegenden zum Hangenden hin in den mineralisierten Horizonten abnehmen. Duke (1986) schlug ein Modell vor, in dem die Sulfid-Sättigung der silikatischen Schmelze durch eine Vermischung eines komatiitischen Magmas mit einer fraktionierten, interstitialen, aus den Kumulaten ausgequetschten Schmelze erklärt wird. Die Sulfidausfällung an der Basis der Magmenkammer scheint ein lokal recht begrenztes Phänomen gewesen zu sein, die niedrige R-Faktoren bedingt. Die geringfügige PGE-Anreicherung in den Sulfidlagen des Dumont Sills und die schmale Zone der Ir-Abreicherung unmittelbar oberhalb dieser sulfidischen Zone stehen mit diesen vorgeschlagenen Prozessen im Einklang.
    Notes: Summary The Dumont Sill is an Archaean komatiitic intrusion, whichDuke (1986) subdivided into a mafic (MZ) and ultramafic zone (UMZ). The UMZ comprises an upper (UPZ) and a lower peridotite subzone (LPZ) consisting of olivine + chromite cumulates and a dunite subzone (DZ) between them, consisting of olivine ± sulfide cumulates. Three sulfide-rich layers in the DZ are delineated by anomalously high Ni, Cu, S and Se concentrations (Ni ≤ 0.95 wt %, Cu ≤ 0.07 wt.%, S ≤ 1.0 wt.%, Se ≤ 2.7 ppm). They also contain elevated contents of noble metals (Au ≤ 31.5 ppb, Pd ≤ 210 ppb, Pt ≤180 ppb, Ir ≤ 8.4 ppb, Os ≤ 6 ppb). Unmineralized samples contain ≤ 3–8 ppb Pd, 1–20 ppb Pt, 0.2–3.6 ppb Au, 0.5–6 ppb Ir, and ≤ 1–6 ppb Os. Samples belonging to the LPZ and UPZ and lying above and beneath the mineralized horizons have rather high Ir contents, generally between 2.9 to 4.4 ppb. In contrast, Ir contents of sulfide-free samples from the DZ and UPZ which lie immediately above the mineralized zones have significantly lower Ir concentrations, ranging from 0.1 to 1.5 ppb. This zone of Ir depletion coincides with a zone of Ni-depleted olivine and sulfide which crystallized just above sulfide-rich horizons in the DZ (Duke, 1986). It is suggested that Ir and Ni depletion in cumulates which lie between or above sulfide-rich zones are due to the lower Ir and Ni contents in olivine which crystallized from a silicate magma from which a sulfide liquid had already been segregated. Alternatively, if metal alloys control the distribution of Ir and Os in the DZ, the Ir depletion in the cumulates above the ore' horizons implies that crystallization of the metal phase ceased. This would be the case if, due to the segregation of sulfides, the Ir concentration in the silicate liquid falls below the solubility limit of the metal phase. The sulfide mineralization probably formed by fractional segregation of a sulfide/ oxide liquid, as the PGE concentrations in the sulfide liquid and PGE/Se, or PGE/S ratios tend to decrease from the bottom to the top in the mineralized zones.Duke (1986) proposed that sulfide saturation was caused by mixing of primitive komatiite magma with fractionated interstitial liquid, which was squeezed out of the cumulate pile. Sulfide segregation at the floor of the magma chamber is likely to have been a very localized event implying low R-factors. The small PGE-enrichment in the sulfide horizons of the Dumont Sill and the narrow zones of Ir-depletion just above the sulfide zones are consistent with the proposed process.

    Notes: Abstract The sequence investigated of the Siberian Trap at Noril'sk, USSR, consists of at least 45 flows that have been divided into six lava suites. The lower three suites consist of alkalic to subalkalic basalts (the Ivakinsky suite), overlain by nonporphyritic basalts (the Syverminsky suite), and porphyritic and picritic basalts (the Gudchikhinsky suite). The upper three suites are tholeiitic. The uppermost 750 m of dominantly non-porphyritic basalt belong to the Mokulaevsky suite and are characterized by a nearly constant Mg number (0.54–0.56), SiO2 (48.2–49.1 wt%), Ce (12–18 ppm), and Ce/Yb (5–8). The underlying 1100 m of dominantly porphyritic basalt belong to the Morongovsky and Nadezhdinsky suites. There is a continuous increase in SiO2 (48.1–55.2 wt%), Ce (12–41 ppm), and Ce/Yb (5–18) from the top of the Mokulaevsky to the base of the Nadezhdinsky with little change in the Mg number (0.53–0.59). Mokulaevsky magmas have trace element signatures similar to slightly contaminated transitional type mid-ocean ridge basalts. The change in major and trace element geochemistry in the upper three suites is consistent with a decline in the degree of anatexis and assimilation of tonalitic upper crust by Mokulaevsky magma. The Nadezhdinsky and underlaying lavas thicken within and thus appear to be related to an elongate basin centred on the Noril'sk-Talnakh mining camp. The Mokulaevsky and Morongovsky lavas thicken to the east and appear to be related to a basin centred more than 100 km to the east of the Noril'sk region; these magmas may have risen up out of a different conduit system.

    Notes: Abstract The Late Permian to Early Triassic Siberian Traps have been sampled by drill core (core SG-9) and from surface exposure (section 1F) in the Noril'sk region of the Siberian Platform, Russia. Combined major, trace element, and Nd-, Sr-, and Pb-isotope data on selected samples through the Siberia Trap, offer new chemostratigraphic criteria for the identification and characterisation of two fundamentally different magma types and 9 of the 11 formations of lava developed near Noril'sk. A Lower Sequence of sub-alkalic basalts, tholeiites, and picritic basalts (upwards these are the Ivakinsky, Syverminsky, and Gudchichinsky formations) are overlain by an Upper Sequence of picritic basalts and tholeiites interbedded with tuffs (upwards, these are the Khakanchansky, Tuklonsky, Nadezhdinsky, Morongovsky, Mokulaevsky and Kharayelakhsky formations).The Gudchichinsky and Tuklonsky formations contain both picritic and tholeiitic lavas. The Tuklonsky formation tholeiites and picrites have moderate Gd/Yb (1.6–1.8), low TiO2 (0.45–0.95 wt%), a significant negative Ta and Nb anomaly (Nb/La =0.42–0.57) and unradiogenic Nd (ɛ Nd CHUR = to -4.6). In contrast, both the Gudchichinsky formation tholeiites and picrites have high Gd/Yb (2.3–3.1), and TiO2 (1.2–2.3 wt%), no significant Nb or Ta anomaly (Nb/La =0.8–1.1), and radiogenic Nd (ɛ Nd CHUR = to 7.3). The low-Ti and Nb/La, high La/Sm, and unradiogenic Nd-isotope signatures of the picritic Tuklonsky formation lavas and the tholeiitic lavas of the Upper Sequence are characteristic of magmas strongly influenced by material from the continental lithosphere, whereas the high-Ti and Nb/La, low La/Sm and radiogenic Nd-isotope signatures of the Lower Sequence are more comparable to deeper asthenospheric mantle-plume generated lavas similar to oceanic island basalts. The lavas overlying the Tuklonsky formation have mg-numbers of 0.63 to 0.68, and are more evolved than the Tuklonsky (Mg-number 〈 0.62) and have more radiogenic ɛ Nd CHUR (Tuklonsky:-0.03 to-4.66; Mokulaevsky: + 0.60 to + 1.61), but have many of the incompatible trace element features of the Tuklonsky sky type magma. These lavas show a progressive upwards decline in SiO2 (55–49 wt%), La/Sm (4.6–2.0), and ɛ UR Sr ( + 67 to + 13) which has previously been attributed to a decrease in the proportion of crustal material contributed to the magma. This paper explores and alternative model where a component of the crustal contribution might be derived from within an ancient region of the mantle lithosphere as recycled sediment rather than from the overlying continental crust.
