| Résumé | (disponible en anglais seulement)
Processes operating within mantle source regions likely impact the fertility of ore-bearing melts, although the precise link between mantle conditioning and ore
genesis remain poorly understood. New fieldwork and isotopic (Re-Os and Pb-Pb) results for ultramafic samples from young (Mesozoic), ophiolitic mantle near Atlin British Columbia, document ancient (i.e. Paleoproterozoic and younger), refractory
mantle domains hosted within variably depleted harzburgite. The metal endowment of these distinct mantle segments and the microscale distribution of gold, platinum group elements and base metals are the focus of on-going study.
Field-based
research at Atlin complements chemical analysis of kimberlite-hosted mantle olivine and clinopyroxene xenocrysts. These mantle fragments provide a snapshot of the ancient, sub-continental lithospheric mantle beneath the Neoarchean Abitibi
sub-province (Kirkland Lake kimberlite field). Geochemical depth profiles, based on preliminary in situ geochemical results of the least-altered xenocrysts, suggest that high temperature olivine is a significant silicate mineral host for some of the
so-called chalcophile elements at depth (e.g. Cu and Zn). Other metals, including a rare subset of xenocrysts that yield concentrations for gold and platinum at or above the analytical detection limit (1-5 ppb), occur as micro-inclusions. The
distribution of metal-bearing mineral phases within the mantle and, the micro-scale setting of metals within those phases (e.g. mineral inclusions versus lattice substitution), may control the variable metallic endowment of mantle-derived melts in
ancient and modern settings. |
