U-Pb vein xenotime geochronology constraints on timing and longevity of orogenic gold mineralization in the Malartic-Val-d'Or Camp, Abitibi Subprovince, Canada

M. Herzog et al.

Summary: The orogenic gold deposits from the Malartic-Val-d' Or Camp (MVC) have ages that significantly post-date the tectono-metamorphic history of the region. The gold is associated with several events, with two short-lived hydrothermal periods being the most important.

Progress towards an improved Precambrian seawater 87Sr/86Sr curve

Xi Chen et al.

Summary: The secular trend of seawater strontium isotope ratio provides important information about changes in ocean composition and global tectonic events. This study compiled and evaluated strontium isotope ratio data of Precambrian marine sedimentary rocks and generated an improved seawater Sr-87/Sr-86 curve. The results indicate an earlier deviation of seawater Sr-87/Sr-86 from the mantle, as well as stronger oscillations and better correspondence with supercontinent cycles than previously shown.

Sulfur isotope systematics of granitoids from the Yilgarn Craton sheds new light on the fluid reservoirs of Neoarchean orogenic gold deposits

Stefano Caruso et al.

Summary: The identification of fluid reservoirs in Neoarchean orogenic gold deposits is crucial for understanding the sulfur cycle and improving exploration strategies. The sulfur isotope composition of granitoids in the Archean Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia indicates the presence of sulfur reservoirs at deep crustal levels, which coincide with terrane subdivision and reflect crustal evolution and lithospheric architecture.

Unravelling the D1 event: evidence for early granite-up, greenstone-down tectonics in the Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia

S. A. Jones et al.

Summary: The early tectonic history of the Eastern Goldfields Terrane (EGT) is unclear, but in some areas, mafic-ultramafic sequences around 2800 Ma are conformably overlain by sequences around 2720-2670 Ma. The formation of late basins at around 2670-2655 Ma coincides with the D-1 event around 2672-2660 Ma, indicating a shift in tectonic processes.

Strontium isotope analysis of apatite via SIMS

Jack Gillespie et al.

Summary: A SIMS analytical method for in situ Sr isotope analysis of apatite mineral was developed with high spatial resolution and low sample consumption. Compared to existing LA-MC-ICP-MS methods, the SIMS method offers advantages of high mass resolution and elimination of problematic interferences, making it particularly useful for analyzing small or valuable mineral targets.

Apatite and biotite thermochronometers help explain an Arctic Caledonide inverted metamorphic gradient

C. L. Kirkland et al.

Summary: The study focuses on a geological case study in the Kalak Nappe Complex of the Scandinavian Caledonides in Arctic Norway. By using biotite Rb-Sr dating technique, the growth rate and cooling date of rock fabric were determined, as well as the role of apatite and plagioclase in the Sr isotopic system. It was found that there is a metamorphic gradient in the Kalak Nappe Complex.

Integration of multiple sulfur isotopes with structural analysis unveils the evolution of ore fluids and source of sulfur at the Kanowna Belle Archean orogenic gold deposit, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia

Dennis Sugiono et al.

Summary: The Kanowna Belle deposit is a world-class Archean orogenic gold system that experienced multiple fluid episodes over a protracted deformation history. Despite differences in ore mineralogy, sulfur isotope analysis of sulfides associated with different mineralization events showed a consistent small positive increment, suggesting sulfur sourced from a mantle/magmatic dominated source.

Deformation, Magmatism, and Sulfide Mineralization in the Archean Golden Mile Fault Zone, Kalgoorlie Gold Camp, Western Australia

Jordan A. McDivitt et al.

Summary: The Golden Mile fault zone in the Kalgoorlie gold camp plays a primary role in controlling the distribution of gold deposits, with the host-rock effects on fluid chemistry being crucial for ore formation. The rheology and chemistry of rocks within and adjacent to large-scale fault zones are important controls on the formation of gold ore.

Reconstructing craton-scale tectonic events via in situ Rb-Sr geochronology of poly-phased vein mineralization

Mikael Tillberg et al.

Summary: By using LA-ICP-MS/MS in situ Rb-Sr dating, this study reveals multiple age clusters between ca. 1757 +/- 15 and 355 +/- 12 Ma in mineralization assemblages at three Palaeoproterozoic crystalline bedrock sites, linking fluid flow and fracture reactivation events with far-field orogens and foreland basin evolution. This new approach connects micro-scale age determinations with regional-scale crustal dynamic responses, providing insights into the tectonic evolution of Precambrian cratons.

Assessment of elemental fractionation and matrix effects during in situ Rb-Sr dating of phlogopite by LA-ICP-MS/MS: implications for the accuracy and precision of mineral ages

Ahmad Redaa et al.

Summary: The study found that the accuracy of in situ Rb-Sr dating of igneous phlogopite mineral using LA-ICP-MS/MS technology is typically within about 3%, with occasional higher errors ranging between 4% to 8%. The bias and uncertainty in the Rb-Sr ages may be related to matrix effects between Mica-Mg and MDC, as well as different physical properties. Developing improved nano-powder reference materials with better matrix matching is crucial for enhancing the accuracy of in situ Rb-Sr dating.
