Tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) (<i>Grt</i>)–<i>Cpx</i>–<i>Opx</i> gneisses dominate on Ozerchanka Island. They contain numerous bodies of mafic granulites and are intruded by syn- and post-tectonic granitoids. The TTG gneisses are Archean in age (>2.6 Ga, Т<sub>Nd</sub>(DM) = 2.9–3.0 Ga). The HREE depletion in the gneisses indicates that the parental melts of their igneous protoliths were formed in equilibrium with a garnet-bearing residue. Mafic granulite bodies vary widely in geochemistry and likely represent fragments of several Paleoproterozoic mafic intrusions and dikes. Mineral assemblages in the gneisses recorded the early granulite-facies (<i>Т</i> = 780–820°С and <i>Р</i> = 8.6–9.4 kbar) and later amphibolite-facies (<i>Т</i> = 640–650°С and <i>Р</i> = 6.7–7.3 kbar) metamorphic events that occurred at 1.9 Ga according to zircon ages.

Together with extensive fluid flow typical the zones of rapid subduction of an old oceanic plate, this provides conditions for the formation of a fluid–magma ore-forming system. Olivine with sulfide inclusions was found in the eruption products of Tolbachik Volcano. Its investigation may provide insight into the composition of crustal fluid of such ore-magmatic systems. The interaction of reduced water-poor fluid with oxidized basaltic melt (NNO + 1.5) containing 2000–3000 ppm sulfur was theoretically modeled. It was shown that at a local fluid content higher than ~1–2 wt %, sulfur in the melt is reduced and sulfide droplets are formed. Sulfur reduction in the melt can also be caused by the dissolution of SO<sub>2</sub>, which is the main sulfur species in fluid at log <i>f</i>O<sub>2</sub> ≥ NNO + 1.5. This effect is related to the higher degree of sulfur oxidation (S<sup>+6</sup>) in melt, where <span>({text{SO}}_{4}^{{2 - }})</span> is the only oxidized sulfur species, compared with SO<sub>2</sub> (S<sup>+4</sup>) in fluid. According to calculations, sulfide formation begins after dissolution of approximately 2000–3000 ppm sulfur in the SO<sub>2</sub> form in melt at log <i>f</i>O<sub>2</sub> ≥ NNO + 1. Interaction with fluid with small contents of precious metals (PM) produces sulfide melt droplets with PM contents corresponding to the background values in the melt. According to experimental evidence, Pt and Pd are highly soluble in reduced water-poor fluids in the form of carbonyls, whereas Au is low soluble; in contrast, Au solubility is very high in oxidized fluids (NNO + 1 to NNO + 1.5). Reaction with mineralized fluid containing up to tens of ppm PM produces sulfide melt enriched in Au (oxidized fluid) or Pt (reduced fluid). Interaction of melt with water-poor fluid causes local dehydration and an increase in liquidus temperature, which results in rapid olivine crystallization at high overcooling. The localization of phase transitions at the boundary of fluid bubbles facilitates the entrapment of sulfide droplets by olivine. The rare occurrence of sulfide inclusions in olivine from Tolbachik Volcano can be related to the rapid dissipation of the local effect of magma interaction with small amounts of fluid and dissolution of the precipitated sulfide phase in the melt.</p>","PeriodicalId":20026,"journal":{"name":"Petrology","volume":"33 3","pages":"253 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145171855","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}

In this study, the main types of magmatic sulfide ores of the Norilsk–Talnakh deposits are considered as manifestations of different stages in the evolution of the initial sulfide melts. In the context of the overall evolution of Norilsk sulfide melts, the earliest ores are Cu-poor pyrrhotite ores with high concentrations of Rh and IPGE (Os, Ir, and Ru), which were discovered at the Talnakh deposit. The second stage of sulfide melt evolution was marked by the formation of most disseminated ores and Cu- and PGE-poor massive pyrrhotite ores. The massive and disseminated ores were formed independently from each other, but generally correspond to the melts with identical compositions. The only exception is low-sulfur PGE-rich ores from the Upper Gabbroid rocks of the differentiated intrusions, which were affected by wall rock assimilation and early magmatic degassing. It has been shown that the concentrations of ore components in the disseminated sulfides, which are examples of in-situ crystallized droplets of immiscible sulfide melt, vary depending on the composition and degree of fractionation of the parental silicate magma. During the final stage, the crystallization of the residual sulfide melts led to the formation of Cu-rich ores with high Pt and Pd contents. The compositions of these main ore types are compared with the compositions (including trace elements) of their base metal sulfides (BMS). All element dependencies in the massive ores follow the fractional crystallization trend of the sulfide melt. PGE in Norilsk ores are concentrated in distinct platinum-group minerals (PGM) and occur as trace elements in BMS. Rhodium and IPGE are concentrated in pyrrhotite, pentlandite, and pyrite; Pt is occasionally found in pyrite; whereas Pd is found predominantly in pentlandite. The concentration of Pd in pentlandite increases from the Cu-poor to Cu-rich ores. Based on a detailed analysis with the application of several methods, the Pd-rich pentlandite (containing 4.84 wt % Pd) from massive primary magmatic Cu-rich <i>MSS–ISS</i> ores is thought to have been formed by a high-temperature mechanism involving a reaction with sulfide melt.

A negative Eu anomaly in the REE patterns and sufficiently low Mg# of rocks testify in favor of a prolonged fractional crystallization of rocks from an alkaline-basic melt. Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic and geochemical characteristics of rocks of the Burpala intrusion reflect the predominance of metasomatized lithospheric mantle in their source. The formation of the rocks of the intrusion, according to the trace element and isotopic data, was complicated by the upper crustal assimilation, which likely determined the genetic relationship between nepheline and quartz syenites within the intrusion.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20026,"journal":{"name":"Petrology","volume":"33 1","pages":"40 - 61"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143769906","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}
