This locality indicates a new type of Bi–Cu ± Au mineralization within the Kizhnica–Hajvalia–Badovc ore field, including Cu–Bi ± Ag ± As sulfosalts paragenesis previously not described in Kosovo and in this part of the Vardar Zone. Chemical composition of Bi– Pb ± Cu ±Ag and Cu – Bi ± Ag ± As sulfosalts, sulfides, and associated miner - als, as well as their paragenetic relationships and the distribution of minor and trace elements in main ore minerals, are discussed based on microscopy, microprobe, and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry studies. The Cu–Bi– Ag ± W hydrothermal mineralization in Janjevo was formed during four stages: (1) Early base metal stage, (2) Bismuth stage, (3) Main stage, and (4) Late stage. The Early base metal stage is represented by pyrite, sphalerite I, chalcopyrite I, galena I, bournonite I, tetrahedrite I, siderite, and quartz. The Bismuth stage includes arsenopyrite I, löllingite, native bismuth, galena II, chalcopyrite II, tetrahedrite II, quartz, siderite, and Bi – Pb ± Cu ± Ag sulfosalts: bismuthinite, aikinite, krupkaite, cosalite, and gustavite. The Main stage is represented by chalcopyrite III, tetrahedrite group minerals (tetrahedrite and tennantite) III, galena III, sphalerite II, arsenopyrite II, bournonite II, and siderite. The Cu– Bi ± Ag ± As sulfosalts (pearceite, cupropearceite, wittichenite, and an unknown phase: AgCuBiS 3 ) associated with galena IV, siderite, and quartz were formed in the final low-temperature Late stage. The application of GGIMFis geothermometry on sphalerite gives the following sphalerite precipitation temperatures: 220–272 °C for sphalerite I and 160–190 °C for sphalerite II. Presented results show that in addition to numerous Bi sulfosalts in Janjevo Cu –Bi–Ag ± W ores, bismuth has been incorporated into base metal sulfides, as well as arsenopyrite. The main carrier of bismuth is arsenopyrite I, which has started the crystallization of the bismuth stage.","PeriodicalId":15957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geosciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49166762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The program evaluates the 60 approved species according to the dominant valance and constituents in the general AB 2 X 4 formula for the spinel, ulvöspinel, carrollite, linnaeite, tyrellite and bornhardtite subgroups that belong to the oxyspinel, thiospinel and selenospinel groups. Mineral analyses of the oxyspinel group are calculated based on 3 cations and 4 oxygen atoms per formula unit, whereas the formulae of thiospinel and selenospinel analyses are on the basis of 7 atoms per formula unit. Employing the anions of spinel supergroup mineral analyses, the program first assigns three groups on the basis of dominant X anion, including O 2– , S 2– and Se 2– , determines subgroups according to the cation charge arrangement combinations and then defines the spinel species in each subgroup based on the dominant valance and constituents. The Fe 3+ and Fe 2+ , as well as the Mn 3+ , Mn 2+ , Co 3+ and Co 2+ contents from microprobe-derived total FeO, MnO and CoO (wt. %) amounts, are estimated by stoichiometric constraints. WinSpingc allows the users to enter total 57 input variables for groups as well as to type and load the multiple spinel supergroup compositions in the data entry section, to edit and load the Microsoft ® Excel files in calculating, classifying and naming the spinel species, and to store all the calculated parameters in the Microsoft ® Excel file for further evaluations.

Halotrichite and its Mg-rich varieties are common products of the acid leaching of rocks, both volcanic and technogenic. The crystal structures of two halotrichite crystals were refined in the P 2 1 / n space group ( vs. P 2 1 / c used previously) with the unit-cell parameters a = 6.1947(2)/ 6.1963(5) Å, b = 24.2966(8)/ 24.2821(14) Å, c = 21.0593(8)/ 21.063(2) Å, β = 96.512(4)/ 96.563(9) º, V = 3149.2(2)/ 3148.3(5) Å 3 , Z = 4 to R 1 = 0.055 and 0.067 for 5673 and 3936 reflections with I > 2σ I reflections, respectively. The crystal structure consists of isolated Al(H 2 O) 6 octahedra, SO 4 tetrahedra, H 2 O molecules and [ X (SO 4 )(H 2 O) 5 ] 0 clusters ( X = Fe, Mg). The chemical analyses of both samples show their enrichment of Mg at the Fe 2+ site. The analysis of geometrical parameters of the crystal structures of halotrichite and its Mg-analogue pickeringite suggests that the localization of O atoms carried out in this work is more accurate and the single-crystal X-ray diffraction data for the first time allowed localization of hydrogen atom positions. The refined number of H 2 O molecules agrees with the ideal chemical formula. The crystal structure complexity of halotrichite is estimated as I G,total = 2305 bits/cell, which belongs to the family of very complex mineral structures. The contribution of hydrogen bonding system plays a significant role in the overall bonding scheme and the overall complexity of the crystal structure, increasing the Shannon information amount more than twice from I G,total(noH) = 988 bits/cell (no hydrogen atoms) to I G,total = 2305 bits/cell (all atoms including hydrogen). The comparative distribution of halotrichite relative to other Fe-Al hydrated sulfates from the standpoint of structural complexity is considered.","PeriodicalId":15957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geosciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46290450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
