Editorial for Special Issue “Ore Genesis and Metamorphism: Geochemistry, Mineralogy, and Isotopes”
minerals Editorial Editorial for Special Issue “Ore Genesis and Metamorphism: Geochemistry, Mineralogy, and Isotopes” Pavel A. Serov Geological Institute of the Kola Science Centre, Russian Academy of Sciences, 184209 Apatity, Russia; [email protected] Magmatism, ore genesis and metamorphism are commonly associated processes that define fundamental features of the Earth’s crustal evolution from the earliest Precambrian to Phanerozoic. Basically, the need and importance of studying the role of metamorphic processes in formation and transformation of deposits is of great value when discussing the origin of deposits confined to varied geological settings. In synthesis, the signatures imprinted by metamorphic episodes during the evolution largely indicate complicated and multistage patterns of ore-forming processes, as well as the polygenic nature of the mineralization generated by magmatic, postmagmatic, and metamorphic processes. Rapid industrialization and expanding demand for various types of mineral raw ma- terials require increasing rates of mining operations. The current Special Issue is dedicated to the latest achievements in geochemistry, mineralogy, and geochronology of ore and metamorphic complexes, their interrelation, and the potential for further prospecting. The issue contains six practical and theoretical studies that provide for a better understanding of the age and nature of metamorphic and metasomatic transformations, as well as their contribution to mineralization in various geological complexes.

Rio Tinto Iron Ore, Perth, Australia ABSTRACT Recent research on BIF-related high-grade iron ore mineralization has resulted in new genetic models that emphasize the structurally controlled hypogene alteration and upgrade of BIF to high-grade (>65% Fe) iron ore. Conventional structural and stratigraphic mapping and reconstructions of the tectonic history of iron districts, in combination with high-tech geochemical analyses such as laser ICP-MS analyses of in situ oxides and fluid inclusions, stable (C-O-H) and radiogenic (Sr) isotopes, provide the iron explorationists with an invaluable set of tools to discover concealed iron ore bodies, deposits and districts. Two case studies from Western Australia illustrate: (1) the power of a tectonic reconstruction of the Paraburdoo Ranges and its significance for the location of high-grade hematite mineralization, and (2) the interpretation of structural controls on iron mineralization in the C deposit and its implications for resource estimation. INTRODUCTION RECENT ADVANCES IN GENETIC MODELS The past 15 years has seen significant new research conducted on BIF-related iron ore mineralization leading to new genetic In the mid-1990’s Hamersley Iron established a task force to models that emphasize the role of hypogene alteration and investigate the potential of exploring for concealed iron ore structurally controlled hydrothermal fluid flow in the upgrade of bodies in the Hamersley Province of Western Australia.

Smol’kin 2 1 Geological Institute—Subdivision of the Federal Research Centre “Kola Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences”, 14 Fersman Street, 184209 Apatity, Russia 2 Vernadsky State Geological Museum of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 11/11 Mokhovaya Street, 125009 Moscow, Russia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +7-(902)133-39-95 Abstract: In 1990, the Sopcheozero Cr deposit was discovered in the Monchegorsk Paleoprotero- zoic layered mafic-ultramafic layered intrusion (Monchepluton). This stratiform early-magmatic deposit occurs in the middle part of the Dunite Block, which is a member of the Monchepluton layered series. The Cr2O3 average-weighted content in ordinary and rich ores of the deposit is 16.65 and 38.76 wt.%, respectively, at gradually changing concentrations within the rich, ordinary and poor ore types and ore body in general. The ores of the Sopcheozero deposit, having a ratio of Cr2O3/FeOtotal = 0.9–1.7, can serve as raw materials for the refractory and chemical industries. The ore Cr-spinel (magnochromite and magnoalumochromite) is associated with highly magnesian olivine (96–98 Fo) rich in Ni (0.4–1.1 wt.%). It confirms a low S content in the melt and complies with the low oxygen fugacity. The coexisting Cr-spinel-olivine pairs crystallized at temperatures ◦ from 1258 to 1163 C, with accessory Cr-spinel crystallizing at relatively low, while ore Cr-spinel at higher temperatures. The host rock and ore distinguish with widespread plastic deformations of ◦ Citation: Mokrushin, A.V.; Smol’kin, olivine at the postcrystallization phase under conditions of high temperature (above 400 C) and V.F.

Garnet U-Pb and O Isotopic Determinations Reveal a Shear-Zone
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Garnet U-Pb and O isotopic determinations reveal a shear-zone induced hydrothermal system Received: 22 March 2019 Zhongjiang Zang3, Leilei Dong1,2,4, Wei Liu1,2, Han Zhao1,2, Xinshui Wang5, Keda Cai6 & Accepted: 5 July 2019 Bo Wan 1,2 Published: xx xx xxxx The absolute crystallization ages of minerals from hydrothermal fuids measured in situ can unravel the timing of key events leading to the formation of, for instance, ore deposits and hydrothermally derived geological terrains. In this study, a skarn iron deposit from northwest (NW) China is shown to have U-Pb garnet and U-Pb zircon ages of 254.2 ± 1.7 Ma and 255.5 ± 1.0 Ma, respectively, which are both signifcantly younger than magmatism and metamorphism of the region. This skarn age instead correlates with the occurrence of strike-slip and thrust faulting in the region. The water/rock mass ratio of 0.065~0.115 suggests the δ18O garnet composition is ~1‰ at temperatures ranging from 250–450 °C. The low oxygen isotopic composition indicates the role of meteoric water in the garnet formation. These measurements can be interpreted as the shear along faults circulating meteoric water ~10 km below the hanging wall of meta-volcanic sedimentary rock. Meteoric water in this hydrothermal system would leach cations from the meta-volcano-sedimentary rocks necessary for mineralization. Silica-rich hydrothermal fuid reacts with calcic-rich materials in the meta-volcano-sedimentary rocks, depositing the garnet and magnetite. Our work suggests that the shear zone is rich in ores, rendering this deposit for NW China a prospective source for future mineral resource exploration.

This review provides the ﬁrst comprehensive set of geological characteristics, geochronological data, petrochemistry, and Sr–Nd isotopic data of representative porphyry Cu(Mo) and Mo(Cu) deposits within the southern margin of the Siberian craton and discusses the igneous processes that controlled the evolution of these magmatic systems related to mineralization. Geochronological data show that these porphyry deposits have an eastward-younging trend evolving from the Early Paleozoic to Middle Mesozoic. The western part of the area (Altay-Sayan segment) hosts porphyry Cu and Mo–Cu deposits that generally formed in the Early Paleozoic time, whereas porphyry Cu–Mo deposits in the central part (Northern Mongolia) formed in the Late Paleozoic–Early Mesozoic. The geodynamic setting of the region during these mineralizing events is consistent with Early Paleozoic subduction of Paleo-Asian Ocean plate with the continuous accretion of oceanic components to the Siberian continent and Late Paleozoic–Early Mesozoic subduction of the west gulf of the Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean under the Siberian continent.

Tools and Workflows for Grassroots Li–Cs–Ta (LCT) Pegmatite Exploration
minerals Review Tools and Workflows for Grassroots Li–Cs–Ta (LCT) Pegmatite Exploration Benedikt M. Steiner Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter, Penryn TR10 9FE, UK; [email protected] Received: 22 July 2019; Accepted: 17 August 2019; Published: 20 August 2019 Abstract: The increasing demand for green technology and battery metals necessitates a review of geological exploration techniques for Li–Cs–Ta (LCT) pegmatites, which is applicable to the work of mining companies. This paper reviews the main controls of LCT pegmatite genesis relevant to mineral exploration programs and presents a workflow of grassroots exploration techniques, supported by examples from central Europe and Africa. Geological exploration commonly begins with information gathering, desktop studies and Geographic Information System (GIS) data reviews. Following the identification of prospective regional areas, initial targets are verified in the field by geological mapping and geochemical sampling. Detailed mineralogical analysis and geochemical sampling of rock, soil and stream sediments represent the most important tools for providing vectors to LCT pegmatites, since the interpretation of mineralogical phases, deportment and liberation characteristics along with geochemical K/Rb, Nb/Ta and Zr/Hf metallogenic markers can detect highly evolved rocks enriched in incompatible elements of economic interest. The importance of JORC (Joint Ore Reserves Committee) 2012 guidelines with regards to obtaining geological, mineralogical and drilling data is discussed and contextualised, with the requirement of treating LCT pegmatites as industrial mineral deposits. Keywords: LCT; pegmatite; lithium; exploration; targeting 1. Introduction Over the last four decades research into rare metal Li–Cs–Ta (LCT) pegmatite mineralisation has predominantly focused on the understanding of late-stage magmatic fractionation and hydrothermal alteration processes enriching incompatible elements of potential economic interest in felsic peraluminous melts.

minerals Article Platy Galena from the Viburnum Trend, Southeast Missouri: Character, Mine Distribution, Paragenetic Position, Trace Element Content, Nature of Twinning, and Conditions of Formation Richard D. Hagni Department of Geological Sciences and Geological and Petroleum Engineering, Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, MO 65401, USA; [email protected] Received: 15 December 2017; Accepted: 23 February 2018; Published: 2 March 2018 Abstract: The Viburnum Trend of southeast Missouri is one of the world’s largest producers of lead. The lead occurs as galena, predominantly in two crystallographic forms, octahedrons and cubes. Many studies have shown that octahedral galena is paragentically early, the more abundant of the two crystal forms, and is commonly modiﬁed in the cube. Those studies also have shown that the cubic form is paragenetically later, less abundant than the octahedrons, and may exhibit minor octahedral modiﬁcations. Viburnum Trend galena crystals that exhibit a platy form have received almost no study. The reason for their lack of study is the rarity of their occurrence. This communication discusses their character, mine distribution, paragenetic position, trace element contents, nature of twinning, and speculated conditions of formation. It also compares their character to similar platy galena occurrences in Germany, Bulgaria, Russia, Mexico, and notes their occurrence at the Pine Point District in the Northwest Territories of Canada and at the Black Cloud mine in Colorado. Flat, platy galena crystals have been recognized to occur in very small amounts in the Magmont, Buick, Fletcher, Brushy Creek, and Sweetwater mines in the Viburnum Trend. In contrast, platy galena has never been observed to occur at the Casteel, West Fork, #27, #28, and #29 mines in the Trend.
