Combined X-Ray Computed Tomography and X-Ray Fluorescence Drill Core Scanning for 3-D Rock and Ore Characterization: Implications for the Lovisa Stratiform Zn-Pb Deposit and Its Structural Setting, Bergslagen, Sweden

Stefan Luth et al.

Summary: In this study, a pilot study integrating automated drill core scanning technology based on simultaneous X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyses was conducted. The results showed that this technique provides valuable information on 3-D rock textures and structures, chemical composition, and density, which is useful for mineral exploration and research.

Behavior of critical metals in metamorphosed Pb-Zn ore deposits: example from the Pyrenean Axial Zone

Alexandre Cugerone et al.

Summary: Rare metals like Ge and Ga play a key role in green technology development and are commonly found in base-metal mineral deposits. This study uses advanced analytical techniques to investigate the distribution and impact of rare metals in sphalerite, highlighting the enrichment of Ge and Ga in vein mineralization. The remobilization of these elements due to partial recrystallization in sphalerite is proposed to result in the formation of patchy-oscillatory zoning and Ge-rich accessory minerals.

Ore mineralogy and trace element (re)distribution at the metamorphosed Lappberget Zn-Pb-Ag-(Cu-Au) deposit, Garpenberg, Sweden

Glacialle Tiu et al.

Summary: Qualitative and quantitative mineralogical and textural investigations were conducted on sulfide minerals in the 1.89 Ga Lappberget deposit, revealing different types of sphalerite and evidence of tectono-metamorphic modification of sulfides throughout the deposit. The trace element signatures of sulfides in Lappberget are compatible with other metamorphosed and deformed subseafloor volcanogenic carbonate replacement (SVALS)-type deposits in the Bergslagen mining district.

Sulfide remobilization and trace element redistribution during metamorphism and deformation at the Xitieshan Pb-Zn deposit, NW China

Zhixin Zhao et al.

Summary: Recent attention has been drawn towards the effects of post-ore metamorphism and deformation on trace element concentrations in sulfides. This study evaluated the influence of regional metamorphism and deformation on sulfide remobilization and trace element distribution in the Xitieshan deposit in NW China. The findings suggest that recrystallized chalcopyrite grains tend to have higher concentrations of Indium, Tin, and Silver, indicating preferential incorporation of these elements into chalcopyrite under metamorphic conditions.
