The occurrence and the chemical compositions of ore minerals (especially the silver‐bearing minerals) and fluid inclusions of the El Zancudo mine in Colombia were investigated in order to analyze the genetic processes of the ore minerals and to examine the genesis of the deposit. The El Zancudo mine is a silver–gold deposit located in the western flank of the Central Cordillera in Antioquia Department. It consists mainly of banded ore veins hosted in greenschist and lesser disseminated ore in porphyritic rocks. The ore deposit is associated with extensive hydrothermally altered zones. The ores from the banded veins contain sphalerite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena, Ag‐bearing sulfosalts, Pb‐Sb sulfosalts, and minor chalcopyrite, electrum, and native silver. Electrum is included within sphalerite, pyrite, and arsenopyrite, and is also partially surrounded by pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, and tetrahedrite. Native silver is present in minor amounts as small grains in contact with Ag‐rich sulfosalts. Silver‐bearing sulfosalts are argentian tetrahedrite–freibergite solid solution, andorite, miargyrite, diaphorite, and owyheeite. Pb‐Sb sulfosalts are bournonite, jamesonite, and boulangerite. Two main crystallization stages are recognized, based on textural relations and mineral assemblages. The first‐stage assemblage includes sphalerite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena and electrum. The second stage is divided into two sub‐stages. The first sub‐stage commenced with the deposition and growth of sphalerite, pyrite, and arsenopyrite. These minerals are characterized by compositional growth banding, and seem to have crystallized continuously until the end of the second sub‐stage. Tetrahedrite, Pb‐Cu sulfosalts, Ag‐Sb sulfosalt, and Pb‐Ag‐Sb sulfosalts crystallized from the final part of the first sub‐stage and during the whole second sub‐stage. However, one Pb‐Ag‐Sb sulfosalt, diaphorite, was formed by a retrograde reaction between galena and miargyrite. The minimum and maximum genetic temperatures estimated from the FeS content of sphalerite coexisting with pyrite and the silver content of electrum are 300°C and 420°C, respectively. These estimated genetic temperatures are similar to, but slightly higher than the homogenization temperatures (235–350°C) of primary fluid inclusions in quartz. The presence of muscovite in the altered host rocks and gangue suggest that the pH of the hydrothermal solutions was close to neutral. Most of the sulfosalts in this deposit have previously been attributed as the products of epithermal mineralization. However, El Zancudo can be classified as a xenothermal deposit, in view of the low pressure and high temperature genetic conditions identified in the present study, based on the mineralogy of sulfosalts and the homogenization temperatures of the fluid inclusions.  相似文献

The Okinawa Trough is characterized by enrichment of Ag in hydrothermal precipitates; however, the distribution of this enrichment remains poorly constrained. This study presents the results of a field-emission scanning electron microscopy and electron-microprobe analysis based mineralogical and geochemical investigation of the spatial distribution of Ag within Ag-rich sulfide samples from the Okinawa Trough. The tetrahedrite, covellite, and galena in these samples contain high concentrations of Ag(average values of 1.60, 0.78, and 0.23 wt%, respectively) and also various Ag sulfosalts. Examination of the Ag budget of these samples indicates that most of the Ag is hosted by tetrahedrite followed by galena. The Ag within tetrahedrite is incorporated by substitution into the Cu site, whereas galena becomes Ag-enriched by the coupled incorporation of monovalent Ag, Tl, and Cu, and trivalent Sb and Bi into Pb lattice sites. Tetrahedrite and galena containing higher concentrations of Sb favor increased Ag substitution. Four sets of Ag host minerals are identified with distinct ore formation temperatures. Tetrahedrite and galena concentrate the majority of Ag at medium temperatures(150–300°C). Other Ag host minerals concentrate only minor or trace amounts of Ag, including massive sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite at high temperatures(300°C), colloform pyrite and sphalerite at low temperatures(150°C), and Ag-sulfosalts at even lower temperatures(100°C).  相似文献

The San José silver–tin deposit, Oruro, is located in the Cordillera Oriental, which contains most of the metalliferous mineralizations of Bolivia and is related to a quartz-latite dome of Miocene age. The mineral paragenesis encountered in this study is composed of cassiterite, stannite, miargyrite, pyrargyrite, andorite and Bi-rich andorite, jamesonite, pavonite/benjaminite, boulangerite, owyheeite, ramdohrite and Bi-rich ramdohrite, bismuthinite, besides pyrite, chalcopyrite, Ag-rich tetrahedrite, galena and sphalerite, all of which are analyzed by electron microprobe analysis. With semi-quantitative SEM/EDS and XRD analyses, rhodostannite and kësterite/ferrokësterite were found in association with andorite, and chalcostibite was determined by XRD, in association with zinkenite, tetrahedrite and pyrite.  相似文献

The recently discovered Salgadinho copper deposit, 7 km NNE of S. Luis, Portugal is located in the southernmost linear belt of outcropping low metamorphic grade deformed Palaeozoic rocks (Famennian) in the SW part of the Iberian Pyrite Belt. The stratabound replacement pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralisation is present in variably altered felsic pyroclastic rocks which are overlain by pyritic graphitic shales and tuffs which have undergone alteration in the lowermost 5m. The altered pyroclastic rocks are characterised by pale green celadonitic fluoro-muscovite and, in the most intense zone of alteration, quartz, ankerite, and ore minerals are present (pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, tetrahedrite, galena, bournonite). No exhalative Cu-Zn or Zn-Pb ore has been discovered associated with the submarine volcanic stratabound Cu-rich alteration zone. Alteration of feldspars and groundmass has involved a net loss from the system and gains in Fe2+, F, H2O, Mg, Fe3+, Ca, Mn, P, Ti, S, Cu, Zn, Pb, As, Sb, Ag and Au at the expense of Si, K, Al and Na. The great enrichment of F in the altered rocks, the association of zonal alteration facies with coarse grained pyroclastic masses and the intimate association of pale green celadonitic fluoro-muscovite with mineralisation at Salgadinho and most other deposits of the Iberian Pyrite Belt represents a powerful exploration guide for submarine exhalative ores.Text of paper presented at the 26th I.G.C., Paris, July 1980  相似文献

Mineral assemblages and chemical compositions of ore minerals from the Boroo gold deposit in the North Khentei gold belt of Mongolia were studied to characterize the gold mineralization, and to clarify crystallization processes of the ore minerals. The gold deposit consists of low‐grade disseminated and stockwork ores in granite, metasedimentary rocks and diorite dikes. Moderate to high‐grade auriferous quartz vein ores are present in the above lithological units. The ore grades of the former range from about 1 to 3 g/t, and those of the latter from 5 to 10 g/t, or more than 10 g/t Au. The main sulfide minerals in the ores are pyrite and arsenopyrite, both of which are divisible into two different stages (pyrite‐I and pyrite‐II; arsenopyrite‐I and arsenopyrite‐II). Sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, and tetrahedrite are minor associated minerals, with trace amounts of bournonite, boulangerite, geerite, alloclasite, native gold, and electrum. The ore minerals in the both types of ores are variable in distribution, abundance and grain size. Four modes of gold occurrence are recognized: (i) “invisible” gold in pyrite and arsenopyrite in the disseminated and stockwork ores, and in auriferous quartz vein ores; (ii) microscopic native gold, 3 to 100 µm in diameter, that occurs as fine grains or as an interstitial phase in sulfides in the disseminated and stockwork ores, and in auriferous quartz vein ores; (iii) visible native gold, up to 1 cm in diameter, in the auriferous quartz vein ores; and (iv) electrum in the auriferous quartz vein ores. The gold mineralization of the disseminated and stockwork ores consists of four stages characterized by the mineral assemblages of: (i) pyrite‐I + arsenopyrite‐I; (ii) pyrite‐II + arsenopyrite‐II; (iii) sphalerite + galena + chalcopyrite + tetrahedrite + bournonite + boulangerite + alloclasite + native gold; and (iv) native gold. In the auriferous quartz vein ores, five mineralization stages are defined by the following mineral assemblages: (i) pyrite‐I; (ii) pyrite‐II + arsenopyrite; (iii) sphalerite + galena + chalcopyrite; (iv) Ag‐rich tetrahedrite‐tennantite + bournonite + geerite + native gold; and (v) electrum. The As–Au relations in pyrite‐II and arsenopyrite suggest that gold detected as invisible gold is mostly attributed to Au+1 in those minerals. By applying the arsenopyrite geothermometer to arsenopyrite‐II in the disseminated and stockwork ores, crystallization temperature and logfs2 are estimated to be 365 to 300 °C and –7.5 to –10.1, respectively.  相似文献

Abstract: The Shin-Ohtoyo Cu–Au deposit is located in the Harukayama district, 20 km west of Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. Both acid-type disseminated and adularia–quartz–type vein Au mineralizations have been recognized within a small distance of less than 500 m in the district. Mineralogical characteristics of sulfide ores from the Shin-Ohtoyo deposit have been proved to be polymetallic. Ore minerals containing Sn, V, Bi and Te are recognized. Nine ore types are recognized in terms of characteristic mineral assemblage; (1) chalcedonic quartz veinlets in silicified zone around the deposit, (2) bismuthinite, emplectite, friedrichite and tetrahedrite, (3) an unnamed Cu–Sn–Fe–Zn sulfide, colusite-series minerals, stannoidite, emplectite and tetrahedrite, (4) bournonite, Se-bearing galena and tetrahedrite, (5) luzonite/famatinite and Ag-bearing tetrahedrite, (6) colusite-series minerals, emplectite, aikinite and tetrahedrite/goldfieldite, (7) luzonite/famatinite, colusite-series minerals, mawsonite and tetra–hedrite/goldfieldite, (8) enargite, luzonite/famatinite and tetrahedrite, and (9) colusite-series minerals and tetrahedrite. The first occurrence of friedrichite and stibiocolusite from Japan are reported. The chemical formula of the unnamed phase corresponds to Cu6(Cu, Fe, Zn)Sn3S10. Sulfur isotopic ratios (δ34S) of sulfides from the stockpile range from –0. 5% to +1. 9%, and those from drill cores recovered by Metal Mining Agency of Japan (MMAJ) vary from –2. 7% to +0. 8%. Sulfur isotopic ratio of barite in a cavity in the silicified tuff breccia collected from the stock pile yields +27. 1%, while that of barite collected from MMAJ core is +21. 7%. Sulfur isotopic thermometry applied for a pair of barite (+21. 7%) and associated pyrite (+1. 8%) indicates about 300°C. High–Te tetrahedrite composition from both the chalcedonic quartz vein in the silicified zone around the Shin-Ohtoyo deposit and the polymetallic sulfide ores from the adit of the deposit, suggests that the Au mineralization in the former is attributed to a hydrothermal system marginal to the polymetallic mineralization.  相似文献

Mineral assemblages, chemical compositions of ore minerals, wall rock alteration and fluid inclusions of the Gatsuurt gold deposit in the North Khentei gold belt of Mongolia were investigated to characterize the gold mineralization, and to clarify the genetic processes of the ore minerals. The gold mineralization of the deposit occurs in separate Central and Main zones, and is characterized by three ore types: (i) low‐grade disseminated and stockwork ores; (ii) moderate‐grade quartz vein ores; and (iii) high‐grade silicified ores, with average Au contents of approximately 1, 3 and 5 g t?1 Au, respectively. The Au‐rich quartz vein and silicified ore mineralization is surrounded by, or is included within, the disseminated and stockwork Au‐mineralization region. The main ore minerals are pyrite (pyrite‐I and pyrite‐II) and arsenopyrite (arsenopyrite‐I and arsenopyrite‐II). Moderate amounts of galena, tetrahedrite‐tennantite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite, and minor jamesonite, bournonite, boulangerite, geocronite, scheelite, geerite, native gold and zircon are associated. Abundances and grain sizes of the ore minerals are variable in ores with different host rocks. Small grains of native gold occur as fillings or at grain boundaries of pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, galena and tetrahedrite in the disseminated and stockwork ores and silicified ores, whereas visible native gold of variable size occurs in the quartz vein ores. The ore mineralization is associated with sericitic and siliceous alteration. The disseminated and stockwork mineralization is composed of four distinct stages characterized by crystallization of (i) pyrite‐I + arsenopyrite‐I, (ii) pyrite‐II + arsenopyrite‐II, (iii) galena + tetrahedrite + sphalerite + chalcopyrite + jamesonite + bournonite + scheelite, and iv) boulangerite + native gold, respectively. In the quartz vein ores, four crystallization stages are also recognized: (i) pyrite‐I, (ii) pyrite‐II + arsenopyrite + galena + Ag‐rich tetrahedrite‐tennantite + sphalerite + chalcopyrite + bournonite, (iii) geocronite + geerite + native gold, and (iv) native gold. Two mineralization stages in the silicified ores are characterized by (i) pyrite + arsenopyrite + tetrahedrite + chalcopyrite, and (ii) galena + sphalerite + native gold. Quartz in the disseminated and stockwork ores of the Main zone contains CO2‐rich, halite‐bearing aqueous fluid inclusions with homogenization temperatures ranging from 194 to 327°C, whereas quartz in the disseminated and stockwork ores of the Central zone contains CO2‐rich and aqueous fluid inclusions with homogenization temperatures ranging from 254 to 355°C. The textures of the ores, the mineral assemblages present, the mineralization sequences and the fluid inclusion data are consistent with orogenic classification for the Gatsuurt deposit.  相似文献

Microprobe and fluid inclusion analyses of hydrothermal ore deposits containing the subassemblage sphalerite+ tetrahedrite-tennantite [(Cu, Ag)10(Fe, Zn)2(As,Sb)4S13] reveal that the Gibbs energies of the reciprocal reaction Cu10Zn2Sb4S13 + Cu10Fe2As4S13 = Cu10Fe2Sb4S13 + Cu10Zn2As4S13 and the Fe-Zn exchange reaction 1/2Cu10Fe2Sb4S13 + ZnS = 1/2Cu10Zn2Sb4S13 + FeS are within the uncertainties of the values established by Sack and Loucks (1985) and Raabe and Sack (1984), 2.59±0.14 and 2.07±0.07 kcal/gfw. However, this study suggests that the Fe-Zn exchange reaction between sphalerite and Sb and Ag-rich tetrahedrites does not obey the simple systematics suggested by Sack and Loucks (1985) wherein tetrahedrite is assumed to behave as an ideal reciprocal solution. Instead these studies show that the configurational Gibbs energy of this exchange reaction,RTln[(X Fe/X Zn)TET(X ZnS/X FeS)SPH], corrected for sphalerite nonideality exhibits both a local maximum and minimum as a function of Ag/(Cu+Ag) ratio at a givenX FeS SPH and temperature. The local maximum forX FeS SPH 0.10 corresponds to the position of the cell edge maximum established for natural tetrahedrites by Riley (1974), Ag/(Ag+Cu)0.4. These studies and the results of structural refinements of Ag-bearing tetrahedrites suggest that in low silver tetrahedrites Ag is preferentially incorporated in trigonal-planar sites but that in tetrahedrites with intermediate and greater Ag/(Ag+Cu) ratio, Ag is preferentially incorporated in tetrahedral sites. A nonconvergent site ordering model for tetrahedrite is developed to quantify and extrapolate these predictions.  相似文献

Possible topologies of miscibility gaps in arsenian (Cu,Ag)10(Fe,Zn)2(Sb,As)4S13 fahlores are examined. These topologies are based on a thermodynamic model for fahlores whose calibration has been verified for (Cu,Ag)10(Fe,Zn)2Sb4S13 fahlores, and conform with experimental constraints on the incompatibility between As and Ag in (Cu,Ag)10(Fe,Zn)2(Sb,As)4S13 fahlores, and with experimental and natural constraints on the incompatibility between As and Zn and the nonideality of the As for Sb substitution in Cu10(Fe,Zn)2(Sb,As)4S13 fahlores. It is inferred that miscibility gaps in (Cu,Ag)10(Fe,Zn)2As4S13 fahlores have critical temperatures several °C below those established for their Sb counterparts (170 to 185°C). Depending on the structural role of Ag in arsenian fahlores, critical temperatures for (Cu,Ag)10(Fe,Zn)2(Sb,As)4S13 fahlores may vary from comparable to those inferred for (Cu,Ag)10(Fe,Zn)2As4S13 fahlores, if the As for Sb substitution stabilizes Ag in tetrahedral metal sites, to temperatures approaching 370°C, if the As for Sb substitution results in an increase in the site preference of Ag for trigonal-planar metal sites. The latter topology is more likely based on comparison of calculated miscibility gaps with compositions of fahlores from nature exhibiting the greatest departure from the Cu10(Fe,Zn)2(Sb,As)4S13 and (Cu,Ag)10(Fe,Zn)2Sb4S13 planes of the (Cu,Ag)10(Fe,Zn)2(Sb,As)4S13 fahlore cube.  相似文献

Interpretation of various exploration data, in particular geochemical prospecting, offers a powerful and rapid assessment of grass-root projects in a green-field terrain. Here, we present an example of the Collins epithermal prospect in Aceh Province, Indonesia. In this area, the Au+ base-metal-bearing sheeted quartz veins (individually mostly 2–4 cm wide), which are controlled by a 250 m wide by 800 m long NNE-trending structural corridor within Paleogene sandstone and volcanic rocks, are the product of two main stages of deposition. Stage I formed veins with a sliver of cryptocrystalline quartz wall zone followed by an inner zone of comb quartz with interstitial rhombic adularia that terminates in open space. Stage I or main-stage sulfide mineralization consisting of early galena + sphalerite and later chalcopyrite occurs with the quartz + adularia. Small amounts of galena also occur in the wall zone. Stage II mineralization brecciated Stage I veins and overprinted them with silicification characterized by vuggy texture. Mineralization associated with this episode consists of earlier chalcopyrite + sphalerite + tennantite–tetrahedrite and later, vug-filling Au–Ag alloy (Ag0.37–0.41Au0.62–0.59). The above mineralized veins are successively flanked by silicic selvages, an illite + chlorite + pyrite ± kaolinite zone and a chlorite + epidote + carbonate + pyrite zone. Local supergene alteration induced replacement of galena by plumbogummite and anglesite and chalcopyrite by covellite. Data from fluid inclusion microthermometry in quartz indicated that the inner zone of Stage I veins formed from fluids with a 2.3 wt% salinity (0.5–3.3 wt% NaCl equivalent), at 174°C (155–211°C). Combining these physico-chemical parameters with the mineral assemblage, the mineralization occurred under a reduced environment. Rock and soil assays indicate that elevated Au concentrations (up to 16.5 ppm over 1 m) occur along northeast-trending zones and show a strong correlation with Pb, while Cu (up to 2.58% over 1 m), Zn, As, Sb, and Mo anomalies lie mostly at the periphery. The high-grade mineralized veins correlate with moderate to high resistivity and chargeability zones, and the pseudosections of such geophysical signals are interpreted as reflecting coalesced or enlarged veins at depth, or inclined veins in other localities. The intermediate sulfidation affinity for Collins points to potential mineralization at depth as well as preservation of Au-rich and sulfide-poor zones in the less eroded areas.  相似文献

The Prestea lode gold deposit occurs in a graphitic shear zone in the Birimian system of Ghana. The Birimian is an Early Proterozoic greenstone assemblage (≈ 2100 Ma) with large gold deposits, consisting of a lower unit predominantly of metasediments and an upper unit of metavolcanics with interbedded sediments. The metamorphic stage is of greenschist facies grade.

The gold generally occurs as free gold or closely associated with sulfides, particularly arsenopyrite and sulfosalts. It is usually coarse grained and occurs along grain boundaries, as inclusions and in fractures with the ore minerals. The gold is nearly pure, with analyzed grains containing 95-96 wt% Au, 4-5 wt% Ag, and less than 0.1 wt% Sb, Bi, Zn, or Cu. Associated metallic phases consist of pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, and sulfosalts such as tetrahedrite, boulangerite, bournonite, and jamesonite. The fluid associated with the gold mineralization was H2O-CO2-NaCl in composition, with a mean salinity = 3.6 wt% NaCl equivalent, CO2 density (mean) = 0.84 ± 0.09 g/cm3, and XCO2 = 13 to 33 mole %. Total homogenization temperatures range from 250° to 380° C. The ore fluid exhibits features suggesting contamination of volatiles such as N2 ± CH4 ± H2S, or post-depositional leakages. Arsenopyrite geothermometry indicates a temperature of mineralization from 325° to 450° C. Estimated pressures of trapping range from 1.0 to 2.2 kbars, with corresponding depths from 3.5 to 7.7 km, assuming the pressure is lithostatic. The gold deposition occurred from fluids with δ18O water = +9.6 to +13.9o and δDfluid irclusion = ?29 to ?65%0, suggesting a crustal origin for the ore-forming fluid, including a metamorphic and a magmatic source. A δ34Spyrite value of ?7.1 to ?11.7%o and δ34SΣS = ?9.6%o suggests a sedimentary origin for the sulfur.

The gold deposition is attributed to destabilization of the bisulfide complex as a result of ore fluid reaction with host rock, resulting in a probable reduction by the carbonaceous matter in the host rock, and/or a decrease in the total sulfur concentration in the co-precipitation of sulfides.  相似文献

The Hiendelaencina mining district (Guadalajara, Spain), includes the ore deposits of the Hiendelaencina, La Bodera and Congostrina areas. In this paper a general overview of this district is given, with special emphasis on the parageneses, mineralizing stages and chemical characteristics of the sulphides and sulphosalts. These deposits contain silver in Sb-rich sulphosalts such as freibergite, pyrargyrite, polybasite, stephanite, freieslebenite and the Bi-rich sulphosalt, aramayoite. Three mineralizing stages have been detected in Hiendelaencina and Congostrina: (1) As-Fe; (2) Cu-Zn-Fe-Sb-Ag; and (3) Pb-Sb-Ag (±Bi) but only two in La Bodera (stages 2 and 3). The average sulphosalt formulas are: freibergite (Cu0.5 Ag5.9) (Fe1.42 Zn0.66) (Sb4.49 As0.02) S13; pyrargyrite Ag3.38 Sb1.0 S3; polybasite (Ag16.3Cu0.15) (Sb2.8 As0.15) S11; stephanite Ag6.7 Sb1.38 S4; freieslebenite Ag1.1 Sb0.83 Pb1.05 S3 and aramayoite Ag1.06 Bi0. 35 Sb0.7 Pb0.03 S2. The compositional patterns of these sulphosalts (mainly based on the Sb/(Sb + Ag), Ag/ (Ag + Cu), Sb(Ag + As) and Ag/(Ag + Cu) ratios) are outlined, pointing broadly to similar tendencies in their chemistry and genetic conditions.  相似文献

Syntectonic hydrothermal Pb-Zn vein systems of the Ramsbeck deposit, Germany, have been extensively overprinted by late-stage fluids responsible for fissure vein mineralisation. This has caused remobilisation of vein components, notably of sphalerite and galena, as well as the formation of various Sb sulphosalt minerals, including boulangerite, semseyite, tetrahedrite and bournonite. A detailed sulphur isotope study of sphalerite, galena and sulphosalts related to different stages of recrystallisation, remobilisation and reaction has been carried out using an insitu laser combustion technique. Primary sphalerite-galena ores from flat-lying thrust zones are characterised by homogeneous positive '34S values in the range +6.5 to +7.7‰. In contrast, recrystallised and remobilised sphalerite and galena from both overprinted thrust zones and extensional fissure veins show '34S values in the range -1.1 to +2.9‰ and -0.7 to +8.7‰ respectively. Sulphosalt minerals show a similar variation in their sulphur isotope compositions, which range between -1.7 and +7.7‰. Fissure vein hosted sphalerite and sulphosalts display significantly more negative '34S values than the primary Pb-Zn ores. Sphalerite which recrystallised in situ and boulangerite which formed by reactive replacement of primary galena show slightly more positive '34S values than fissure vein hosted minerals. The compositional range of remobilised mineral phases can be best explained by varying contributions (variable mixing) of sulphur derived from (1) the primary sphalerite-galena ores of the flat thrust systems, and (2) the hydrothermal fluid responsible for the fissure vein mineralisation. Equilibrium fractionation temperatures calculated for sphalerite-galena pairs contrast strongly with fluid inclusion data. Isotopic fractionation related to the remobilisation has to be interpreted in terms of kinetic processes.  相似文献

Twenty eight electron microprobe analyses of freibergite from the Mount Isa (Queensland) Pb-Zn-Ag stratiform orebody, range in silver content from 18.4 to 42.5 wt. % Ag. These values significantly extend the tetrahedrite-freibergite series. The compositional range based on twenty-one complete analyses is indicated by the formula (Ag,Cu)9.21–11.44(Fe,Zn)1.59–2.31(Sb,As)3.87–4.43S13.0. As far as could be determined, Mount Isa freibergite is homogeneous and no marked compositional changes were detected either across individual grains, or in different grains of the same electron microprobe sample. The linear, atom for atom, replacement of copper by silver reported for lower silver bearing tetrahedrites continues in Mount Isa freibergite. A maximum silver content of about 51 wt. % Ag is predicted. X-ray investigations indicate however that in contrast to the structural expansion with increasing silver content reported for argentian tetrahedrite, Mount Isa freibergite contracts with increase in silver. The extrapolated lattice parameter for the theoretical freibergite (Ag10(Fe,Zn)2Sb4S13) end member is of the same order as tetrahedrite.  相似文献

In the oxidation zone of the Berezovskoe gold deposit in the middle Urals, Russia, minerals of the beudantite–segnitite series (idealized formulas PbFe3 3+ AsO4)(SO4)(OH)6 and PbFe3 3+ AsO4)(AsO3OH)(OH)6, respectively) form a multicomponent solid solution system with wide variations in the As, S, Fe, Cu, and Sb contents and less variable P, Cr, Zn, Pb, and contents K. The found minerals of this system correspond to series from beudantite with 1.25 S apfu to S-free segnitite, with segnitite lacking between 1.57 and 1.79 As apfu. Segnitite at the Berezovskoe deposit contains presumably pentavalent Sb (up to 15.2 wt % Sb2O5 = 0.76 Sb apfu, the highest Sb content in the alunite supergroup minerals), which replaces Fe3+. The Sb content increases with increasing As/S value. On the contrary, beudantite is free of or very poor in Sb (0.00–0.03 Sb apfu). Many samples of segnitite are enriched in Cu (up to 8.2 wt% CuO = 0.83 Cu apfu, uncommonly high Cu content for this mineral) and/or in Zn (up to 2.0 wt% ZnO = 0.19 Zn apfu). Both Cu and Zn replace Fe. The generalized formula of a hypothetic end member of the segnitite series with 1 Sb apfu is Pb(Fe3+ M 2+Sb5+)(AsO4)2(OH)6, where M = Cu, Zn, Fe2+. The chemical evolution of beudantite–segnitite series minerals at the Berezovskoe deposit is characterized by an increase in the S/As value with a decrease in the Sb content from early to late generations.  相似文献

白秧坪银铜多金属矿集区位于兰坪盆地北部。矿集区可分为东、西两个成矿带。赋矿地层主要为上三叠统三合洞组碳酸盐岩、第三系始新统保相寺组碎屑岩和下白垩统景星组碎屑岩。矿体主要以脉状、网脉状及透镜状形式产出。作者通过显微镜观察、电子探针和扫描分析等综合分析技术,确认白秧坪银铜多金属矿集区中矿物组成相当丰富,已鉴定出的矿物超过50种,既有大量硫化物、硫盐、氧化物、硫酸盐、碳酸盐,又有自然金属及金属互化物、卤化物等。除常见矿物为黄铁矿、毒砂、白铁矿、黄铜矿、方铅矿、闪锌矿、黝铜矿、砷黝铜矿、铜蓝、斑铜矿、辉铜矿、雌黄、菱铁矿、方解石、铁白云石、重晶石、天青石和石英外,作者还鉴定出一些银、钴、铋、镍、砷、锑的矿物,如自然铋、辉铋矿、辉银矿、辉砷钴矿、硫钴镍矿、硫铜铋矿、硫铋铜矿、辉砷镍矿、车轮矿、硫砷铜矿、单斜硫砷铅矿、灰硫砷铅矿等。矿石中矿物种类较多,组成较复杂,存在Co,Bi,Ni等元素的矿物,构成白秧坪银铜多金属矿集区的一大特色。在兰坪盆地白秧坪银铜多金属矿集区各矿段内,除了Cu、Pb、Zn构成工业矿体外,矿石中Ag、Co、Ni、Bi及As、Sb、Ba等元素的含量也相当高,可作为Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Co-Ni-Bi矿石来综合开发利用。白秧坪银铜多金属矿集区中Ag、Co、Ni、Bi等元素富集条件为低温、中低盐度,形成压力较小的浅成环境;成矿流体是一种富含CO2的Ca2+-Na+-SO24-Cl-类型、由大气降水演化而成的盆地热卤水。成矿物质主要来源于含有基性火山岩的兰坪盆地基底变质岩系。  相似文献

A cervelleite-like mineral, two unnamed silver sulfotellurides in the system Ag-Cu-Te-S [Ag2CuTeS, (Ag,Cu)2TeS], Te-rich polybasite and cadmian tetrahedrite occur in gold-bearing quartz veins in metapelites and faults within brecciated marbles of the Cycladic Blueschist Unit in the Kallianou area (southern Evia Island, Greece). The quartz veins and faults are discordant to syn-metamorphic structures and formed during ductile to brittle deformation in the final stages of exhumation of the Styra Nappe extrusion wedge (~21?Ma). Te-rich polybasite (up to 7.4 wt. % Te), cadmian tetrahedrite (up to 12.4 wt. % Cd), together with electrum (23?C54 wt. % Ag) and the sulfotellurides, are the main silver carriers in the mineralization. The two unnamed sulfotellurides, Ag2CuTeS and (Ag,Cu)2TeS are believed to be new quaternary minerals in the system Ag-Cu-Te-S. These minerals and the cervelleite-like phase could have exsolved from galena during cooling (below 200°C). Initial temperatures for the formation of the sulfotellurides, in the form of hessite-intermediate solid solution, at Kallianou may be up to 300°C under logfS2 values between?~ ?11.5 to ?8.3, and logfTe2 from?~ ?14.8 to ?7.8. The values of logfTe2 and logfS2 during re-equilibration (at ~200°C) were constrained to ?19.5 to ?15.2 and to ?15.8 to ?11.5 respectively.  相似文献
