dc.description.abstract | The study focuses on the mode of occurrence of Au, Ag and Te in ores of the Gaisk, Safyanovsk, Uzelginsk and other volcanic-hosted massive sulfide (VHMS) deposits in the Russian Urals. Minerals containing these elements routinely form fine inclusions within common sulfides (pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite). Gold is mostly concentrated as 'invisible' gold within pyrite and chalcopyrite at concentrations of 1-20 ppm. Silver mainly occurs substituted in tennantite (0.1-6 wt.% Ag). In the early stages of mineralization, gold is concentrated into solid solution within the sulfides and does not form discrete minerals. Mineral parageneses identified in the VHMS deposits that contain discrete gold- and gold-bearing minerals, including native gold, other native elements, various tellurides and tennantite, were formed only in the latest stages of mineralization. Secondary hydrothermal stages and local metamorphism of sulfide ores resulted in redistribution of base and precious metals, refining of the common sulfides, the appearance of submicroscopic and microscopic inclusions of Au-Ag alloys (fineness 0.440-0.975) and segregation of trace elements into new, discrete minerals. The latter include Au and Ag compounds combined with Te, Se, Bi and S. Numerous tellurides (altaite, hessite, stützite, petzite, krennerite etc.) are found in the massive sulfide ores of the Urals and appear to be major carriers of gold and PGE in VHMS ores. © Springer-Verlag 2006. | |
