Abstract
The initial silicate melt related to magmatic Ni-Cu deposits located in orogenic settings in China (e.g., East Tianshan orogenic belt, East Kunlun orogenic belt) had a high fO2 that progressively decreased with continued magmatic evolution. It is still unknown if the sulfide melt that separated from the silicate melt inherited this high fO2, or even whether oxygen fugacity in sulfide plays an important role in the mineralization processes. In this work we undertook new in situ Fe, Cu, and Ni isotopic analyses of base metal sulfides from the Xiarihamu magmatic sulfide deposit (East Kunlun orogenic belt), and combined this new data with previously published Fe and Cu isotopic results from orogenic and cratonic magmatic sulfide deposits to assess changes in fO2 in sulfide during sulfide melt evolution, and the role of these processes in metal enrichment.
