Galena-clausthalite solid solution and altaite are abundant in the gold-silver-tellurium ores from the Shinpi No.1 vein of the mine; typical mineral associations are altaite-calaverite-clausthalite, altaite-electrum-galena, clausthalite-hessite-sylvanite, galena-petzite-sylvanite. Electron microprobe analyses were performed on the various associations in order to establish the limits of isomorphous substitutions among sulfur, selenium, and tellurium in the PbS-PbSe-PbTe series. Galena-clausthalite solid solution shows a compositional range from about 18 to 74 mol. percent PbSe, indicating a continuous solid solution series between PbS and PbSe. A rather wide miscibility gap exists between approximately 22 and 73 mol. percent PbSe in the PbSe-PbTe series, and a more extensive miscibility gap in the PbS-PbTe series. These compositional relations are explained from the viewpoint of geochemical character. No natural stable phase is expected to appear in a central part of the PbS-PbSe-PbTe system although the extent of the solid solutions is probably enlarged at elevated temperatures.","PeriodicalId":383641,"journal":{"name":"Mining geology","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132315894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The manganese oxides were estimated to have formed by weathering of hydrothermal manganese carbonates. Vein minerals are quartz, pyrite, and chalcopyrite with accessary amounts of gustavite, \"bismuthinite\", galena, acanthite, sphalerite, hematite, and marcasite. The gustavite and \"bismuthinite\" occur in close association with each other, but they do not coexist with galena or acanthite which contains a few wt.% Bi. The possible temperature and sulfur fugacity during deposition of the bismuth minerals are estimated to be in ranges of 254•‹ to 280•Ž and 10-11.1 to 10-9.3 atm., respectively.

The chlorite/smectite mineral from six gold-silver vein deposits, that is, Konomai, Todoroki, Chitose, Seigoshi, Omidani, and Kushikino was quantitatively analyzed by X-ray microanalyser. The chemical composition of the mineral reflects characteristic features of the ores. Mncontent of the mineral is relatively high and the correlation between Mg and Mn is obvious in the ores containing rhodochrosite, whereas it is very low in the ores free from Mn minerals. Moreover, the Mn/Fe ratio of the mineral varies widely corresponding to the Mn/Fe ratio of coexisting sphalerite. It is infered that the stability and the variations in chemical composition of the regularly interstratified chlorite/smectite mineral appear to be influenced by temperature and chemical composition of ore-forming fluid.","PeriodicalId":383641,"journal":{"name":"Mining geology","volume":"59 28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114756289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, K-Ar age determination for sixteen sericites in hydrothermally altered rocks from the Toyoha deposits balls in a range from 2.93 to 0.96 Ma which are considered to represent the duration of hydrothermal activity responsible for the formation of the Toyoha deposits.
