Hydrothermal Alteration of Carbonaceous Mudstones Hosting the Eskay Creek Au Deposit, British Columbia HYDROTHERMAL ALTERATION OF CARBONACEOUS MUDSTONES HOSTING THE ESKAY CREEK AU DEPOSIT, BRITISH COLUMBIA by Tom Meuzelaar A thesis submitted to the Faculty and Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date _____________________ Signed: ________________________ Tom Meuzelaar Signed: ________________________ Dr. Thomas Monecke Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date _____________________ Signed: ________________________ Dr. Paul Santi Professor and Head Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT The Jurassic Eskay Creek deposit in northwestern British Columbia represents an unusual volcanic-hosted massive sulfide deposit that is characterized by a high precious metal content, enrichment of the epithermal-style suite of elements, a complex sulfide and sulfosalt ore mineralogy, and a relatively low temperature of ore deposition. The stratiform ore lenses of the deposit are hosted by carbonaceous mudstones that only show cryptic alteration. An integrated approach consisting of mineralogical and geochemical analysis, multivariate statistical data reduction, mass transfer analysis, and equilibrium geochemical modeling was adopted to identify alteration vectors to ore that can be used to identify synvolcanic precious and base metal deposits hosted by fine-grained, carbonaceous mud-stones. Despite the fairly extensive previous research carried out on the Eskay Creek deposit, the nature of hydrothermal alteration of the carbonaceous mudstone host has not been previously investigated. The present thesis addresses this critical knowledge gap. The research provides new critical insights into the nature and evolution of the hydrothermal fluids involved in formation of the Eskay Creek deposit and the development of the alteration halo surrounding the deposit. The results indicate that the integration of field observations, detailed micro-analysis, multivariate data reduction and geochemical modeling is an effective, integrated and innovative approach for studying petrographically challenging geologic materials. Textural evidence suggests that the carbonaceous mudstone is a complex rock type. The mineralogical composition of this fine-grained rock can be related to primary processes including deposition, diagenetic modification, hydrothermal alteration, and low-grade metamorphic recrystallization. Hydrothermal alteration patterns in the mudstones include a silicified core with peripheral chlorite and white mica formation and albite destruction, as well as extensive carbonate alteration. Ankerite represents the most common hydrothermal carbonate mineral and is frequently associated with kaolinite. Locally, potassium feldspar alteration of the mudstone is strongly developed. Major element mass transfer can be related to the changes in mudstone mineralogy. Additional vectors to ore include increases in the iron, magnesium, and manganese contents in iii carbonate minerals proximal to ore. Iron enrichment in chlorite occurs distally in the hanging-wall, while proximal chlorite is enriched in magnesium. Hydrothermally formed pyrite is arsenic enriched. Base metal enrichments in proximal samples are associated with sulfide minerals, while distal samples may contain anomalous base metal contents related to the presence of organic material. Mineral stability constraints suggest that the observed alteration of the host mudstone must have occurred from slightly acidic to alkaline fluids that have been highly equilibrated with the host rocks. Modeling suggests that the base metal sulfides, precious metal-bearing phases, and hydrothermal clay and carbonate minerals likely do not represent co-precipitates, but must have formed at different physicochemical conditions during the evolution of the hydrothermal system. The primary controls on the distribution of mineral phases in the deposit are CO2 fugacity (which controls the acidity and ionic strength of solutions), temperature, and protolith wall-rock chemistry. Seawater must have contributed the magnesium to proximal carbonates and chlorite alteration, while the wall rock, in particular feldspars and detrital clays, represent the likely source for the calcium required for carbonate formation. The results of the present study demonstrate that low-temperature (<200ºC) hydrothermal alteration, diagenesis, and a low-grade metamorphic overprint resulted in the formation of broadly comparable mineral assemblages. This finding has important implications to mineral exploration as minerals of the dolomite-ankerite solid solution represent the only rock-forming minerals directly indicative for a hydrothermal overprint of the carbonaceous mudstone that can be identified tens to hundreds of meters from ore. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT

  • Solution Deposition of a Bournonite Cupbsbs3 Semiconductor Thin Film from the Dissolution of Bulk Materials with a Thiol-Amine Sol- Vent Mixture Kristopher M
    Solution Deposition of a Bournonite CuPbSbS3 Semiconductor Thin Film from the Dissolution of Bulk Materials with a Thiol-Amine Sol- vent Mixture Kristopher M. Koskela, Brent C. Melot, and Richard L. Brutchey* Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089, United States ABSTRACT: There is considerable interest in the exploration of new solar absorbers that are environmentally stable, absorb through the visible, and possess a polar crystal structure. Bournonite CuPbSbS3 is a naturally occurring sulfosalt mineral that crys- tallizes in the non-centrosymmetric Pmn21 space group and possesses an optimal band gap for single junction solar cells; however, the synthetic literature on this quaternary semiconductor is sparse and it has yet to be deposited and studied as a thin film. Here we describe the ability of a binary thiol-amine solvent mixture to dissolve the bulk bournonite mineral as well as inexpensive bulk CuO, PbO, and Sb2S3 precursors at room temperature and ambient pressure to generate an ink. The synthetic compound ink derived from the dissolution of the bulk binary precursors in the right stoichiometric ratios yields phase-pure thin films of CuPbSbS3 upon solution deposition and annealing. The resulting semiconductor thin films possess a direct optical band gap of 1.24 eV, an absorp- tion coefficient ~105 cm–1 through the visible, mobilities of 0.01-2.4 cm2 (V•s)–1, and carrier concentrations of 1018 – 1020 cm–3. These favorable optoelectronic properties suggest CuPbSbS3 thin films are excellent

  • Mercury's Hollows: Chalcogenide Pyro
    44th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (2013) 2840.pdf MERCURY’S HOLLOWS: CHALCOGENIDE PYRO-THERMOKARST ANALOG OF THERMOKARST ON EARTH, MARS, AND TITAN. J.S. Kargel1 1Department of Hydrology and Water Resources, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA ([email protected]). Introduction/Summary: MESSENGER has ac- quired stunning images of pitted, light-toned or varie- gated light/dark terrains located primarily on many of Mercury’s crater floors (Fig. 1) and on some ejecta blankets. Termed “hollows” by the imaging team, the pits have been described as unique in the Solar System. However, these terrains are geomorphologically simi- lar to some on Mars formed by sublimation of ice-rich permafrost (Fig. 2) and to lowland thermokarst on Earth formed by permafrost thaw; to “swiss cheese” terrain forming by sublimation of frozen CO2 at the Martian South Pole (Fig. 3); and to terrain at Titan’s poles thought to be hydrocarbon thermokarst (Fig. 4). Mercury lacks eolian processes that could erode the pits, and the pits do not possess volcanic characteris- tics. The most plausible explanation for Mercury’s hollows is terrain degradation involving melting or sublimation of heterogeneous chalcogenide and sul- fosalt mineral assemblages. Adapting the term ther- mokarst, I refer to these Mercurian features as pyro- thermokarst; the etymological redundancy distin- guishes the conditions and mineral agents from the ice- related features on Earth and Mars, though some of the physical processes may be similar. Working Hypothesis: Whereas ice has been long suspected and recently was discovered in permanently shadowed craters of Mercury’s polar regions, the hol- lows occur down to the equator, where neither ice nor sulfur is plausible.

  • Memorial of Daniel E. Appleman 1931–1998
    American Mineralogist, Volume 83, pages 1133±1135, 1998 Memorial of Daniel E. Appleman 1931±1998 MALCOLM ROSS1,* AND JEFFREY E. POST2 1Scientist Emeritus, U.S. Geological Survey, Reston, Virginia 20192, U.S.A. 2Smithsonian Institution, Department of Mineral Sciences, NHB 119, Washington, D.C. 20560, U.S.A. Daniel Appleman, a long-time member and fellow of the MSA, passed away on Friday, January 2, 1998, after a courageous year-long ®ght with cancer. Thus ended an extraordinary lifeÐa life devoted to the mineralogical sciences, museum directorship, public service, the arts, and most importantly to his beloved wife, Peggy, and his daughter, Rebecca. Dan became a fellow of the Miner- alogical Society of America in 1955 and has served our society in many capacities for over forty years. His re- search, management, and curatorial skills were very in- ¯uential in furthering the scienti®c and educational pro- grams of three major institutionsÐthe U.S. Geological Survey in Reston, Virginia, the National Museum of Nat- ural History (NMNH) in Washington, D.C., and the Cran- brook Institute of Science in Bloom®eld Hills, Michigan. For his contributions to public awareness of mineralogy and other physical and natural sciences through the de- sign and supervision of numerous museum exhibitions and educational programs, Dan was posthumously award- ed the Public Service Medal of the Mineralogical Society of America at the 1998 annual meeting in Toronto, Canada. Dan was born on April 11, 1931, in Berkeley, Califor- nia and he grew up in a stimulating environment; his father was a professor of botany at UCLA and his mother taught biology in a California high school for many years.

    VEIN AND GREISEN SN AND W DEPOSITS (MODELS 15a-c; Cox and Bagby, 1986; Reed, 1986a,b) by James E. Elliott, Robert J. Kamilli, William R. Miller, and K. Eric Livo SUMMARY OF RELEVANT GEOLOGIC, GEOENVIRONMENTAL, AND GEOPHYSICAL INFORMATION Deposit geology Vein deposits consist of simple to complex fissure filling or replacement quartz veins, including discrete single veins, swarms or systems of veins, or vein stockworks, that contain mainly wolframite series minerals (huebnerite-ferberite) and (or) cassiterite as ore minerals (fig. 1). Other common minerals are scheelite, molybdenite, bismuthinite, base- etal sulfide minerals, tetrahedrite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, stannite, native bismuth, bismuthinite, fluorite, muscovite, biotite, feldspar, beryl, tourmaline, topaz, and chlorite (fig. 2). Complex uranium, thorium, rare earth element oxide minerals and phosphate minerals may be present in minor amounts. Greisen deposits consist of disseminated cassiterite and cassiterite-bearing veinlets, stockworks, lenses, pipes, and breccia (fig. 3) in gangue composed of quartz, mica, fluorite, and topaz. Veins and greisen deposits are found within or near highly evolved, rare-metal enriched plutonic rocks, especially near contacts with surrounding country rock; settings in or adjacent to cupolas of granitic batholiths are particularly favorable.
