Two populations of mantle xenoliths from the Proterozoic Premier kimberlite show an absence of potassic metasomatism common in Phanerozoic kimberlites. The Premier samples are relatively enriched in Fe and Ti, and contain Fe mica and aluminous amphibole instead of Mg-phlogopite and K-richterite. These features are consistent with a recently identified p-wave anomaly beneath this part of the Kaapvaal craton ascribed to refertilization of the mantle. Upwelling of sublithospheric mantle to produce the Bushveld Igneous Complex is considered to be the source of silicate melt available for metasomatism. The resultant refertilized Fe-, Ti-, and At-enriched mantle composition resembles that which is required to form Proterozoic troctolitic magmas. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
