金川岩浆铜镍（铂）硫化物矿床是我国最主要的铂族等战略性关键金属宝库。金川矿床中铂族金属的富集过程和富集机制还存在很多争论。本文通过详细的矿物学及矿床学研究,厘定了金川矿床成矿阶段。成矿阶段可划分为硫化物矿浆结晶阶段、挥发分流体作用阶段及热液改造阶段。其中硫化物矿浆结晶阶段的主要矿物组合为镍黄铁矿（Pn- a）- 磁黄铁矿（Po- a）- 黄铜矿（Ccp- a）;挥发分流体作用阶段的主要矿物组合为镍黄铁矿（Pn- b）- 磁黄铁矿（Po- b）- 黄铜矿（Ccp- b）- 黄铁矿（Py- Ⅰ）- 磁铁矿（Mag- Ⅰ）- 菱铁矿- 叶蛇纹石- 磷灰石- 铬铁矿- 白云石- 方解石（Cal- Ⅰ）- 金云母。热液改造阶段的矿物组合为透闪石- 绿泥石- 蛇纹石- 方解石（Cal- Ⅱ）- 磁铁矿（Mag- Ⅱ）。高倍电子探针镜下发现,金川矿床铂族矿物与磁铁矿（Mag- Ⅰ）、黄铁矿（Py- Ⅰ）、铬铁矿、磷灰石、黄铜矿、磁黄铁矿、镍黄铁矿及菱铁矿等共生。金川铜镍硫化物矿床中铂族元素(PGM)矿物主要包括硫砷铱矿（IrAsS）、钯的铋化物、碲化物和硒化物、钯的金属互化物（PdAu2）、砷铂矿（PtAs2）、铂单质以及铂的金属合金（Pt- Fe）。其中大量的PGM分布于镍黄铁矿的裂隙中,或产于镍黄铁矿、磁黄铁矿及蛇纹石裂隙中。与磁铁矿、菱铁矿、铬铁矿、黄铜矿、磷灰石以及叶蛇纹石等矿物共生,指示PGE富集与氧化性流体加入密切相关。金川矿石镍黄铁矿（Pn- b）、磁黄铁矿（Po- b）、黄铜矿（Ccp- b）、黄铁矿（Py- Ⅰ）、磁铁矿（Mag- Ⅰ）以及菱铁矿中高Co含量,表明流体在Co的超常富集过程中也起到了决定性作用。金川矿石中大量碳酸盐矿物、叶蛇纹石、金云母、磁铁矿、黄铁矿、铬铁矿以及富Cl磷灰石的出现;S、Mg元素呈网脉状分布于蚀变橄榄石和硫化物中,推测流体组分可能是一种富C富Cl的富含挥发分的高氧逸度流体。金川铬铁矿、磁铁矿（Ⅰ）、菱铁矿等矿物中高Ti、高Nb含量和高Nb/Ta比值,暗示此流体可能是一种高温的超临界流体。以上特征综合表明该特征流体对金川铜镍硫化物矿床中铂族元素等关键金属的超常富集起到了关键控制作用。当挥发分流体与残余硫化物矿浆相互作用及改造先存硫化物及橄榄石时,不仅会促使Os、Ir、Ru、Rh、Pt、Pd进一步活化、富集,还会导致流体中PGE强烈富集,使得流体中的Pd、Se、Te、Bi、Pt含量不断提高,最终形成大量的PGM。综上所述,本文认为在岩浆演化晚期可能存在一种高氧逸度的富Cl富C的深源流体注入岩浆房,该深源挥发分流体对PGE及Co的迁移和超常富集起到了关键控制作用。 相似文献

云南牟定安益矿床为一处铂族金属与钛磁铁矿共同产出的大型钛磁铁矿铂族金属矿床。目前对该矿床中铂族元素的赋存状态研究甚少。结合野外宏观地质特征和室内岩矿鉴定,笔者利用TIMA和LA-ICP-MS-Mapping分析方法,对安益矿床中铂族金属矿物学特征进行研究,发现安益矿床中的铂族元素（PGEs）主要以独立矿物的形式存在。铂族矿物（PGMs）多为铂和钯的砷化物、碲化物,如砷铂矿、砷钯矿、黄碲钯矿、碲钯矿等;主要分布于硅酸盐矿物中,其次为硫化物边缘,部分分布于磁铁矿边缘;铂族矿物成因主要有岩浆成因和热液成因2种。岩浆作用形成的铂族矿物分布于硅酸盐矿物中或硫化物边缘,硅酸盐中的铂族矿物是早期PGE与半金属元素形成的纳米团簇颗粒随岩浆演化形成矿物颗粒,被结晶的硅酸盐矿物包裹;分布于硫化物边缘的铂族矿物是残余熔浆结晶的结果。热液作用将PGE以类质同象的形式富集于钛磁铁矿单辉岩的部分矿物中,如热液蚀变较强烈的黄铜矿中含有较高的Rh,这也与铂族矿物集中分布在钛磁铁矿单辉岩中一致。 相似文献

铂族元素矿床的主要类型、成矿作用及研究展望 总被引：9，自引：5，他引：4
铂族元素(PGE)矿床的研究在过去几十年取得了重要的进展.它可以赋存于不同的岩石类型、形成于不同的时代.内生PGE矿床与不同的岩浆类型及热液活动有关.由于铂族元素特殊的化学性质,比较稳定且难熔于普通的酸、碱等,故铂族元素成矿具有特殊性.PGE矿床可划分为岩浆型、热液型、火山块状硫化物型(VMS)和外生型四大类型.岩浆型又可分为铜镍硫化物型、铬铁矿型和磁铁矿型,热液型主要有斑岩型和夕卡岩型,外生型包括黑色页岩型和砂铂矿型.本文讨论了各岩浆演化过程中:(i)硅酸盐和氧化物的分异,(ii)富Fe矿物(橄榄石、辉石、磁铁矿、铬铁矿)的分异,(iii)岩浆的混染,(iv)不同成分、硫不饱和的岩浆的混合等,都可以导致岩浆中硫达到饱和,一旦形成不混熔硫化物熔体,硫化物富集,将形成有经济价值的PGE矿床.同时,成矿还受温度、Ni和Cu含量、体系中其它组分和硫逸度的控制.岩浆后期的热液蚀变会改变PGE的含量和品位,但典型的铂矿床一般没有遭受热液蚀变作用的显著影响.本文指出了铂族元素矿床研究存在的主要问题.如PGE矿床的物质来源、PGE演化过程中的分配规律、铂族元素矿物(PGM)的赋存状态,并对以后的发展前景做了展望,指出西藏(蛇绿岩套铬铁矿亚类和俯冲增生弧斑岩型Cu-Au矿)和新疆(碰撞后二叠纪岩浆Cu-Nj硫化物型和黑色页岩型)是我国寻找PGE矿床的最有利地区. 相似文献

新疆喀拉通克铜镍硫化物矿床铂族矿物特征、成因及其形成过程 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
通过矿相学和电子探针研究发现,新疆喀拉通克矿床铂族矿物以Pt、Pd、Ni的碲化物、铋化物固溶体系列矿物为主,矿物分布不均匀,主要分布在块状矿石的磁黄铁矿、镍黄铁矿、黄铜矿等硫化物中,粒径多为3～5μm。矿物组合和相图分析显示,多数铂族矿物为岩浆熔离成因,个别矿物颗粒可能为热液叠加成矿的产物。岩浆中S不饱和时,PGE可能形成铂铑合金,局部氧逸度升高导致铬铁矿、磁铁矿等氧化物结晶,合金被早期结晶的硅酸盐矿物和氧化物包裹。硫化物熔离大量的PGE进入硫化物熔体,伴随硫化物熔体的分异,部分铂族矿物被包裹在单硫化物固溶体中;高温条件下结晶的Pd(+Pt,Ni)-Bi-Te固溶体系列矿物不稳定,随着温度的降低,Pd(+Pt,Ni)-Bi-Te固溶体出溶形成上述铂族矿物组合,MSS裂解铂族矿物被排出,岩浆热液可能形成少量具热液成因特征的铂族矿物。 相似文献

新疆萨尔托海高Al型铬铁矿中几乎不含原生的铂族矿物(PGM)和贱金属硫化物(BMS)包体,显示出成矿岩浆贫硫的特征。BMS多产于铬铁矿铬粒间裂隙、基质及蚀变环带中,主要以赫硫镍矿和针镍矿为主,其次为辉铜矿、砷镍矿、硫砷镍矿、毒砂等。PGM以包体产于BMS或铬铁矿粒间缝隙中,以硫钌矿(RuS2)为主,还包括硫锇矿(OsS2)、硫镍锇矿\[(Os,Ni)S2\]、硫钌锇矿\[(Ru,Os)S2\],锑钯矿(Pd5Sb2)和少量Cu、Pt、Au的硫化物。铬铁矿全岩ΣPGE含量50. 64×10-9~92. 00×10-9,较世界范围内蛇绿岩型铬铁矿低,且具有IPGE较PPGE富集的特点,PdN/IrN在0. 1~0. 9之间,具有Os相对Ir富集的特点。铬铁矿主量元素和原位微量元素显示出与菲律宾阿科杰高Al型铬铁矿以及MORB中尖晶石相似的地球化学特征。根据萨尔托海铬铁矿中PGM及BMS的种类、产出特征,结合铬铁矿全岩PGE及单矿物微量元素地球化学特征,认为铬铁矿的形成与贫硫的拉斑玄武质岩浆与地幔橄榄岩的熔体岩石反应有关。铬铁矿形成后的晚期岩浆阶段使得自形程度较高的PGM(如硫锇矿)和BMS(如赫硫镍矿)形成,随后向热液阶段转变的过程中,由于温压条件改变、热液蚀变,形成了萨尔托海铬铁矿中Fe- Ni- As- S和PGM矿物组合。 相似文献

目前陆地上可利用的铂族元素(PGE)资源主要来自与镁铁—超镁铁质岩浆密切相关的岩浆硫化物矿床。岩浆硫化物矿床成矿理论关注的一个重要问题就是镁铁—超镁铁质岩浆中PGE的富集机理。经典成矿理论认为,由于PGE在平衡的硫化物熔体与硅酸盐熔体之间具有极高的分配系数(105～106),PGE富集成矿主要与成矿体系中硅酸盐熔体与硫化物熔体的质量比有关(R-factor)。但是近些年来,许多新的实验岩石学结果和天然矿石样品纳米尺度PGE赋存状态的观测结果对这一经典理论提出了挑战。本文列举了一些相关的研究实例,显示硅酸盐熔体中的PGE纳米颗粒可以被硫化物或铬铁矿机械捕获、并通过定向附着生长、聚集、粗化和融合,最终形成纳米颗粒集合体和纳米合金。另外,岩浆中半金属元素(TABS,即Te、As、Bi、Sb、Sn)和Se可以与PGE优先形成各种互化物,从而富集于砷化物、铋化物、碲化物或硒化物中,而非硫化物中。因此,镁铁—超镁铁质岩浆体系中PGE的富集可能不仅受其在硫化物熔体中极高的分配系数控制,一些物理过程导致的PGE分配以及半金属元素对PGE的富集作用也不容忽视。由于矿石中的铂族矿物一般为纳—微米级,采用聚... 相似文献

Genesis of the Jinchuan PGE deposit, China: evidence from fluid inclusions, mineralogy and geochemistry of precious elements 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Summary The Jinchuan deposit is a platinum group element (PGE)-rich sulfide deposit in China. Drilling and surface sampling show that
three categories of platinum group element (PGE) mineralization occur; type I formed at magmatic temperatures, type II occurs
in hydrothermally altered zones of the intrusion, and type III in sheared dunite and lherzolite. All ore types were analyzed
for Os, Ir, Ru, Rh, Pd, Pt and Au, as well as for Cu, Ni, Co and S. Type I ore has (Pt + Pd)/(Os + Ir + Ru + Rh) ratios of
<7 and relatively flat chondrite-normalized noble metal patterns; the platinum group minerals (PGM) are dominated by sperrylite
and moncheite associated with chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pentlandite. Type II has (Pt + Pd)/(Os + Ir + Ru + Rh) ratios from
40 to 330 and noble metal distribution patterns with a positive slope; the most common PGM are sperrylite and Pd bismuthotelluride
phases concentrated mostly at the margins of base metal sulfides. Type III ores have the highest (Pt + Pd)/(Os + Ir + Ru +
Rh) ratios from 240 to 710; the most abundant PGM are sperrylite and phases of the Pt–Pd–Te–Bi–As–Cl system. It is concluded
that the Jinchuan deposit formed as a result of primary magmatic crystallization followed by hydrothermal remobilization,
transport, and deposition of the PGE. 相似文献

Magmatic sulfide deposits consist of pyrrhotite, pentlandite, chalcopyrite (± pyrite), and platinum-group minerals (PGM).
Understanding the distribution of the chalcophile and platinum-group element (PGE) concentrations among the base metal sulfide
phases and PGM is important both for the petrogenetic models of the ores and for the efficient extraction of the PGE. Typically,
pyrrhotite and pentlandite host much of the PGE, except Pt which forms Pt minerals. Chalcopyrite does not host PGE and the
role of pyrite has not been closely investigated. The Ni–Cu–PGE ores from the South Range of Sudbury are unusual in that sulfarsenide
PGM, rather than pyrrhotite and pentlandite, are the main carrier of PGE, probably as the result of arsenic contribution to
the sulfide liquid by the As-bearing metasedimentary footwall rocks. In comparison, the North Range deposits of Sudbury, such
as the McCreedy East deposit, have As-poor granites in the footwall, and the ores commonly contain pyrite. Our results show
that in the pyrrhotite-rich ores of the McCreedy East deposit Os, Ir, Ru, Rh (IPGE), and Re are concentrated in pyrrhotite,
pentlandite, and surprisingly in pyrite. This indicates that sulfarsenides, which are not present in the ores, were not important
in concentrating PGE in the North Range of Sudbury. Palladium is present in pentlandite and, together with Pt, form PGM such
as (PtPd)(TeBi)2. Platinum is also found in pyrite. Two generations of pyrite are present. One pyrite is primary and locally exsolved from
monosulfide solid solution (MSS) in small amounts (<2 wt.%) together with pyrrhotite and pentlandite. This pyrite is unexpectedly
enriched in IPGE, As (± Pt) and the concentrations of these elements are oscillatory zoned. The other pyrite is secondary
and formed by alteration of the MSS cumulates by late magmatic/hydrothermal fluids. This pyrite is unzoned and has inherited
the low concentrations of IPGE and Re from the pyrrhotite and pentlandite that it has replaced. 相似文献

Concentrations of platinum group elements (PGE), Ag, As, Au, Bi, Cd, Co, Mo, Pb, Re, Sb, Se, Sn, Te, and Zn, have been determined
in base metal sulfide (BMS) minerals from the western branch (402 Trough orebodies) of the Creighton Ni–Cu–PGE sulfide deposit,
Sudbury, Canada. The sulfide assemblage is dominated by pyrrhotite, with minor pentlandite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite, and
they represent monosulfide solid solution (MSS) cumulates. The aim of this study was to establish the distribution of the
PGE among the BMS and platinum group minerals (PGM) in order to understand better the petrogenesis of the deposit. Mass balance
calculations show that the BMS host all of the Co and Se, a significant proportion (40–90%) of Os, Pd, Ru, Cd, Sn, and Zn,
but very little (<35%) of the Ag, Au, Bi, Ir, Mo, Pb, Pt, Rh, Re, Sb, and Te. Osmium and Ru are concentrated in equal proportions
in pyrrhotite, pentlandite, and pyrite. Cobalt and Pd (∼1 ppm) are concentrated in pentlandite. Silver, Cd, Sn, Zn, and in
rare cases Au and Te, are concentrated in chalcopyrite. Selenium is present in equal proportions in all three BMS. Iridium,
Rh, and Pt are present in euhedrally zoned PGE sulfarsenides, which comprise irarsite (IrAsS), hollingworthite (RhAsS), PGE-Ni-rich
cobaltite (CoAsS), and subordinate sperrylite (PtAs2), all of which are hosted predominantly in pyrrhotite and pentlandite. Silver, Au, Bi, Mo, Pb, Re, Sb, and Te are found predominantly
in discrete accessory minerals such as electrum (Au–Ag alloy), hessite (Ag2Te), michenerite (PdBiTe), and rhenium sulfides. The enrichment of Os, Ru, Ni, and Co in pyrrhotite, pentlandite, and pyrite
and Ag, Au, Cd, Sn, Te, and Zn in chalcopyrite can be explained by fractional crystallization of MSS from a sulfide liquid
followed by exsolution of the sulfides. The early crystallization of the PGE sulfarsenides from the sulfide melt depleted
the MSS in Ir and Rh. The bulk of Pd in pentlandite cannot be explained by sulfide fractionation alone because Pd should have
partitioned into the residual Cu-rich liquid and be in chalcopyrite or in PGM around chalcopyrite. The variation of Pd among
different pentlandite textures provides evidence that Pd diffuses into pentlandite during its exsolution from MSS. The source
of Pd was from the small quantity of Pd that partitioned originally into the MSS and a larger quantity of Pd in the nearby
Cu-rich portion (intermediate solid solution and/or Pd-bearing PGM). The source of Pd became depleted during the diffusion
process, thus later-forming pentlandite (rims of coarse-granular, veinlets, and exsolution flames) contains less Pd than early-forming
pentlandite (cores of coarse-granular). 相似文献

The Ferguson Lake Ni–Cu–Co–platinum-group element (PGE) deposit in Nunavut, Canada, occurs near the structural hanging wall
of a metamorphosed gabbroic sill that is concordant with the enclosing country rock gneisses and amphibolites. Massive to
semi-massive sulfide occurs toward the structural hanging wall of the metagabbro, and a low-sulfide, high-PGE style of mineralization
(sulfide veins and disseminations) locally occurs ~30–50 m below the main massive sulfide. Water–rock interaction in the Ferguson
Lake Ni–Cu–Co–PGE deposit is manifested mostly as widespread, post-metamorphic, epidote–chlorite–calcite veins, and replacement
assemblages that contain variable amounts of sulfides and platinum-group minerals (PGM). PGM occur as inclusions in magmatic
pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite in both the massive sulfide and high-PGE zones, at the contact between sulfides and hornblende
or magnetite inclusions in the massive sulfide, in undeformed sulfide veins and adjacent chlorite and/or epidote halos, in
hornblende adjacent to hydrothermal veins, and in plagioclase–chlorite aggregates replacing garnet cemented by sulfide. The
PGM are mostly represented by the kotulskite (PdTe)–sobolevskite (PdBi) solid solution but also include michenerite (PdBiTe),
froodite (PdBi2), merenskyite (PdTe2), mertieite II (Pd8[Sb,As]3), and sperrylite (PtAs2) and occur in variety of textural settings. Those that occur in massive and interstitial sulfides, interpreted to be of magmatic
origin and formed through exsolution from base metal sulfides at temperatures <600°C, are dominantly Bi rich (i.e., Te-bearing
sobolevskite), whereas those that occur in late-stage hydrothermal sulfide/silicate veins and their epidote–chlorite alteration
halos tend to be more Te rich (i.e., Bi-bearing kotulskite). The chemistry and textural setting of the various PGM supports
a genetic model that links the magmatic and hydrothermal end-members of the sulfide–PGM mineralization. The association of
PGM with magmatic sulfides in the massive sulfide and high-PGE zones has been interpreted to indicate that PGE mineralization
was initially formed through exsolution from base metal sulfides which formed by magmatic sulfide liquid segregation and crystallization.
However, the occurrence of PGM in undeformed sulfide-bearing veins and in their chlorite–epidote halos and differences in
PGM chemistry indicate that hydrothermal fluids were responsible for post-metamorphic redistribution and dispersion of PGE. 相似文献

The Kaalamo massif is located in the Northern Ladoga region, Karelia, on the extension of the Kotalahti Belt of Ni-bearing ultramafic intrusions in Finland. The massif, 1.89 Ga in age, is differentiated from pyroxenite to diorite. Nickel–copper sulfide mineralization with platinoids is related to the pyroxenite phase. The ore consists of two mineral types: (i) pentlandite–chalcopyrite–pyrrhotite and (ii) chalcopyrite, both enriched in PGE. Pd and Pt bismuthotellurides, as well as Pd and Pt tellurobismuthides, are represented by the following mineral species: kotulskite, sobolevskite, merenskyite, michenerite, moncheite, keithconnite, telluropalladinite; Pt and Pd sulfides comprise vysotskite, cooperite, braggite, palladium pentlandite, and some other rare phases. High-palladium minerals are contained in pentlandite–chalcopyrite–pyrrhotite ore. Native gold intergrown with kotulskite commonly contains microinclusions (1–3 μm) of Pd stannides: paolovite and atokite. Ore with 20–60% copper sulfides (0.2–6.0% Cu) contains 5.1–6.6 gpt PGE and up to 0.13–2.3 gpt Au. Pd minerals, arsenides and sulfoarsenides of Pt, Rh, Ir, Os, and Ru are identified as well. These are sperrylite, ruthenium platarsite, hollingworthite, and irarsite; silvery gold and paolovite have also been noted. All these minerals have been revealed in the massif for the first time. The paper also presents data on the compositions of 25 PGE minerals (PGM) from Kaalamo ores. 相似文献

Summary This study reports the first documented occurrence of platinum group-minerals (PGM) in the vicinity of the Voisey’s Bay magmatic
sulfide ore deposit. The PGM are present in a sulfide poor, hornblende gabbro dyke in the Southeast Extension Zone of the
massive sulfide Ovoid deposit. The dyke has somewhat elevated concentrations of platinum-group elements (PGE) and gold (up
to 1.95 g/t Pt, 1.41 g/t Pd, and 6.59 g/t Au), as well as Cu, Pb, Ag, Sn, Te, Bi and Sb. The PGM formed by magmatic processes
and were little disturbed by subsequent infiltration of an externally-supplied hydrothermal fluid. To date, no similar PGM
occurrences have been discovered in the Ovoid deposit itself.
Whole rock REE patterns indicate that the dyke is geochemically related to the main conduit troctolites, which carry the bulk
of the massive sulfide mineralization at Voisey’s Bay. The PGE mineralization is Pt- and Pd-rich, where the Pt and Pd occur
predominantly as discrete PGM with minor Pd in solid solution in galena (average=1.8 ppm) and pentlandite (average=2 ppm).
The discrete PGM are predominantly hosted by disseminated base-metal sulfides (bornite, chalcopyrite, and galena) (56 vol%)
and are associated with other precious metal minerals (13 vol%) with only ∼3 vol% of the PGM hosted by silicate minerals.
In whole rock samples, the PPGE (Pt, Pd, and Rh) correlate with abundances of chalcopyrite, bornite, galena, and other precious
metal minerals (PMM), whereas the IPGE (Ir, Ru, and Rh) correlate with pyrrhotite and pentlandite. There are no correlations
of the PGE with chlorine. Lead isotope compositions of galena associated with the PGE mineralization in the Southeast Extension
Zone are broadly similar to those for galena in the Ovoid. The lead isotope compositions are much different from those in
the Voisey’s Bay Syenite, which is a potential external hydrothermal fluid source.
The observed Cu-rich, Pb-rich sulfide compositions and associated Pt-Pd-Au-Ag-Sn-Te-Bi-Sb assemblage in the dyke can be produced
magmatically as late ISS differentiates (e.g., Prichard et al., 2004). Melting temperatures of the PGM are also consistent with a magmatic origin. Following crystallization of PGM
from magmatic sulfide, an external REE-enriched hydrothermal fluid was introduced to the system, producing secondary amphibole
and locally remobilizing the Pb and Sn from the sulfides hosting the PGM.

The geology and mineralogy of host metamorphic rocks, the mineralogy of sulfide ores, and the distribution of PGE mineralization were studied in detail for the Kvinum-1 and Kvinum-2 copper-nickel occurrences of the Kvinum ore field, which are the most promising targets for the copper-nickel-PGE mineralization of the Sredinny Range of Kamchatka. It was established that stringer-disseminated and massive copper-nickel ores are localized in amphibole peridotites, cortlandites, and form ore bodies varying from tens of centimeters to 5–20 m thick among the layered cortlandite-gabbroid massifs. The massive sulfide ores were found only at the bottom of cortlandite bodies and upsection grade into stringer-disseminated and disseminated ores. Pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and pentlandite are the major ore minerals with a sharply subordinate amount of pyrite, sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite, and löllingite. Besides pentlandite, the Ni-bearing minerals include sulforasenides (gersdorffite), arsenides (nickeline), and tellurides (melonite) of nickel. It was found that PGE mineralization represented by antimonides (sudburyite) and tellurobismuthides (michenerite) of Pd with sharply subordinate platinum arsenide (sperrylite) is confined to the apical parts of massive sulfide zones and the transition zone to the stringer-disseminated ores. Ore intervals enriched in arsenides and tellurides of Ni, Pd, and Bi contain high-purity gold. In the central parts of the orebodies, the contents of PGE and native gold are insignificant. It is suggested that the contents of major sulfide minerals and the productivity of PGE mineralization in the cortlandites are defined by combined differentiation and sulfurization of ultramafic derivatives under the effect of fluids, which are accumulated at the crystallization front and cause layering of parental magmas with different sulfur contents. The fluid-assisted layering of mafic-ultramafic massifs resulted in the contrasting distribution of PGM in response to uneven distribution of sulfur (as well as As, Te, and Bi) during liquid immiscibility. The productivity of PGE mineralization significantly increases with increasing contents of S, As, Te, and Bi (elements to which Pt and, especially, Pd have high affinity) in fluids. 相似文献

Two drill cores of the UG2 chromitite from the eastern and western Bushveld Complex were studied by whole-rock analysis, ore microscopy, SEM/Mineral Liberation Analysis (MLA), and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analysis. The top and base of the UG2 main seam have the highest bulk-rock Pd and Pt concentrations. Sulfides mostly occur as aggregates of pentlandite, chalcopyrite, and rare pyrrhotite and pyrite or as individual grains associated mostly with chromite grains. In situ LA-ICP-MS analyses reveal that pentlandite carries distinctly elevated platinum-group element (PGE) contents. In contrast, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite contain very low PGE concentrations. Pentlandite shows average maximum values of 350–1,000 ppm Pd, 200 ppm Rh, 130–175 ppm Ru, 20 ppm Os, and 150 ppm Ir, and is the principal host of Pd and Rh in the studied ores of the UG2. Mass balance calculations were conducted for samples representing the UG2 main seam of the drill core DT46, eastern Bushveld. Pentlandite consistently hosts elevated contents of the whole-rock Pd (up to 55 %) and Rh (up to 46 %), and erratic contents of Os (up to 50 %), Ir (2 to 17 %), and Ru (1–39 %). Platinum-group mineral (PGM) investigations support these mass balance results; most of the PGM are Pt-dominant such as braggite/cooperite and Pt-Fe alloys or laurite (carrying elevated concentrations of Os and Ir). Palladium and Rh-bearing PGM are rare. Both PGE concentrations and their distribution in base-metal sulfides (BMS) in the UG2 largely resemble that of the Merensky Reef, as most of the Pd and Rh are incorporated in pentlandite, whereas pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite are almost devoid of PGE. 相似文献

Controls on variations of platinum-group element concentrations in the sulfide ores of the Jinchuan Ni-Cu deposit, western China 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Ongoing underground exploration in the giant Jinchuan Ni-Cu sulfide deposit in western China is beginning to emphasize the
potential for Cu-, Pt-, and Pd-rich sulfide ores that may have formed by sulfide liquid fractionation. The success of such
an effort relies on whether or not fractional crystallization of sulfide occurred in the Jinchuan system. In this paper, we
used available PGE data to evaluate such a process. We found that about two thirds of the 126 samples analyzed to date exhibit
significant decoupling not only between Pt and Pd but also between Ru, Rh, and Ir. The best explanation for the decoupling
is postmagmatic hydrothermal alteration, which affected not only silicates but also sulfides. The effects of postmagmatic
alteration must be considered when using metal and isotopic ratios to evaluate primary mineralization. PGE variations in the
remaining one third of the samples with Ir/(Ir + Ru) = 0.3–0.7, Ir/(Ir + Rh) = 0.4–0.8, and Pt/(Pt + Pd) = 0.3–0.7 indicate
variable R-factors within individual ore bodies as well as the entire deposit, consistent with the interpretation that multiple
sulfide-bearing magmas from depth were involved in the formation of the Jinchuan deposit. The mantle-normalized PGE patterns
of the least-altered samples from the Jinchuan deposit are similar to the picrite-related Pechenga Ni-Cu sulfide deposit in
Russia. PGE variations that can be related to sulfide liquid fractionation are observed in orebody-1 and orebody-24 but not
in orebody-2 at Jinchuan. Exploration for Cu-, Pt-, and Pd-rich sulfide ores that may have been expelled into fractures in
the footwalls of orebody-1 and orebody-24 appears to be justified. 相似文献

The paper presents concentrations of the platinum-group and chalcophile elements in the base metal sulfides (BMS) from the Jinchuan Ni–Cu sulfide deposit determined by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Mass balance calculations reveal that pentlandite hosts a large proportion of Co, Ni and Pd (> 65%), and that pentlandite and pyrrhotite accommodate significant proportions of Re, Os, Ru, Rh, and Ag (~ 35–90%), whereas chalcopyrite contains a small amount of Ag (~ 10%) but negligible platinum-group elements. Iridium and Pt are not concentrated in the BMS and mostly occur in As-rich platinum-group minerals. The enrichments of Co, Ni, Re, Os, Ru, and Rh in pentlandite and pyrrhotite, and Cu in chalcopyrite are consistent with the fractionation of sulfide liquid and exsolution of pentlandite and pyrrhotite from the mono-sulfide solid solution (MSS). The Ir-bearing minerals exsolved from the MSS, depleting pentlandite and pyrrhotite in Ir, whereas sperrylite exsolved from the residual sulfide liquid on cooling. Diffusion of Pd from residual sulfide liquid into pentlandite during its exsolution from the MSS and crystallization of Pt-bearing minerals in the residual sulfide liquid resulted in the enrichment of Pd in pentlandite and decoupling between Pd and Pt in the Jinchuan net-textured and massive ores. 相似文献
