Abstract Volcano-sedimentary (VS) deposits represent a relatively poorly studied and still underdeveloped type of Li resource. These consist mixed volcanic-sedimentary successions deposited in closed basins developed felsic magmatic provinces. The ore VS systems includes complex mineralogical assemblages dominated by phyllosilicates, borosilicates, phosphates. In this paper we review the geologic features with goal providing generalized deposit model, as well an updated classification...
Abstract The Cornubian Batholith (SW England) is an archetypal Variscan rare metal granite with potential for Li-mica mineralization. We present a petrographic, trace element and multivariate statistical study of micas from the series related hydrothermally altered units to assess role magmatic vs subsolidus processes fluxing elements (F B) on Li cycle during evolution system. mica types are as follows: (1) magmatic, which include Fe-biotite, protolithionite I phengite-muscovite most...
The Muruntau gold deposit in the Central Kyzylkum, Uzbekistan is one of largest single deposits worldwide. Data available from literature are reviewed with aim to (1) integrate present knowledge on this unique Russian and English literature; (2) show considerable progress made understanding genesis during last decades; (3) point problems still open for future research. Deposit formation occurred through a multi-stage process involving sedimentation, regional metamorphism including thrusting,...
Abstract Situated in the heart of Tien Shan gold province, Unkurtash (3.5 Moz at 1.82 g/t) is a representative lode deposit that hosted within Carboniferous Andagul granodiorite Kassan district, western Kyrgyzstan. The province consists porphyry and epithermal deposits, which are related to magmatic arcs, deposits formed late stages continent-continent collision have been generally classified as mesothermal or orogenic type. Some considered be intrusion-related, but genetic relationship...
Purpose. The article is dedicated to the informational analysis of geological-genetic systematization all known porphyry copper mineralization sites within territory Eastern Kazakhstan, with a focus on refining their structural and chronological position, magmatic association, material composition mineralization, its zonality. Methods. A prospective assessment deposits considered four structural-formational zones (SFZs) – Rudny Altai, Zharma-Saur, Chingiz-Tarbagatai, Dzungaro-Balkhash, where...
Given the increasing interest in using peat bogs as archives of atmospheric metal deposition, lack validated sample preparation methods and suitable certified reference materials has hindered not only quality assurance generated analytical data but also interpretation comparison core profiles from different laboratories international community. Reference play an important role evaluation accuracy results are essential parts good laboratory practice. An ombrotrophic bog material been...
Abstract The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) in southern Mongolia consists of E‐W trending Neoproterozoic cratons and Silurian‐Devonian oceanic tectonic zones. Previous study revealed that the Early Paleozoic accretionary wedge zone are underlain by a layer giving homogeneous gravity signal. Forward modelling suggests this is not formed high‐density material typical lower crust but composed low‐ to intermediate‐density rocks resembling continental crust. nature constrained whole‐rock...
The early Paleozoic Terskey Suture zone, located in the southern part of Northern Tien Shan domain Kyrgyzstan, comprises tectonic slivers dismembered ophiolites and associated primitive volcanics deep-marine sediments. In Lake Songkul area, early-middle Cambrian pillow basalts are crosscut by Songkultau intrusion coarse-grained gneissose quartz diorites tonalites with geochemical characteristics typical for high-SiO2 adakites (SiO2 > 56 wt.%, Al2O3 15 Na2O 3.5 wt.% high Sr/Y La/Yb...
Abstract The aim of this paper is to showcase the use lichens in environmental forensics from an assessment atmospheric deposition and around Cu smelter former mining town Karabash, Ural Mountains Russia. Hypogymnia physodes was collected on its bark substrate July 2001 a ‘reference’ site ( c. 25 km SW Karabash) transplanted 10 stations along approximately 60 SSW–NNE transect centred Karabash. Transplants were after 2 3 month exposure periods. elemental compositions potential sources...
The Yemaquan polymetallic skarn deposit is located in the Qimantagh metallogenic belt (QMB), northern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China, with total ore resources of 82.7 million metric tons at 29.46 percent Fe, 0.40% Cu, 2.08% Pb and 1.77% Zn. In this study, new trace element composition zircon tandem LA-ICP-MS U-Pb geochronology are provided for mineralized barren intrusive rocks occurring within two magnetic anomaly areas (M1 M13) deposit. These data, combined whole rock major compositions,...
Mineral resource assessments integrate and synthesize available information as a basis for estimating the location, quality, quantity of undiscovered mineral resources. This probabilistic assessment sandstone copper deposits within Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks Kodar-Udokan area in Russia is contribution to global led by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The purposes this study are (1) delineate permissive areas (tracts) indicate where sandstone-hosted may occur 2 km surface, (2)...
Constructing the plutonic–volcanic connections in volcanic arc setting is essential for understanding a variety of magmatic processes from continental crust differentiation to formation magmatic‐hydrothermal ore deposits. Based on combination zircon U–Pb geochronology and Hf isotope whole‐rock geochemistry Sr‐Nd isotopes, we evaluated potential between plutonic rocks Tulasu Basin, largest epithermal gold district Chinese Western Tianshan. The peak volcanism coincides well with major...
