The Nadezhda ore-controlling structure and related rocks of the Lukkulaisvaara layered intrusion from the Oulanka plutonic group have been studied. Tensile deformation arising at the cooling stage at interfaces of rocks dissimilar in composition with different compressibility coefficients controlled the intensity of secondary processes and the high concentration of sulfide and platinum group minerals (PGM) along the perimeter of the fine-grained gabbronorite body in contact zones with country rocks. These zones were specific geochemical barriers. Magmas of supplementary injections could have been one of the sources of fluid affecting the rocks. Fe-Ni-Cu sulfides and PGM crystallized within the temperature range T = 800-350° C. Regional metamorphism did not exceed conditions of greenschist facies. Results of modeling of metasomatic processes indicate that decompression played the leading role in formation of the major secondary mineral assemblages: Czo -An 10 -Chl-Tr(Act) and Qtz-An 70 -Amph-Bt. 1 The decreasing pressure under isothermal conditions resulted in a rise in solubility of metals in chloride solution and their transport into dilatable zones. The cooling model leading to the enrichment of rocks in potassium and then to its leaching is realized more seldom, resulting in a Qtz-Ms-Chl-Act-Czo mineral assemblage and eventually in Qtz-Chl veins. The change of P and T during pluton cooling resulted in changing of the direction of metasomatic processes and telescoping of different superimposed mineral assemblages: Amph( ± Act)-Bt ± Chl 1 ± Qtz as an early one and Qtz-Czo-Chl 2 -Ab-Ms as a late one. The model mineral assemblages that match natural counterparts are as follows: (1) QtzPl-Amph-Bt and Qtz-Pl-Chl-Bt(Ms) and (2) Tr(Act)-Chl-An 10 -Czo, Qtz-An 10 -Chl-Ms(Bt), and Qtz-CzoChl-An 10 -Ms. At the same time, the An 40-50 -Amph-Bt, Qtz-An 40-50 -Amph-Bt, Qtz-An 10 − 20 -Chl-Bt(Ms), An 30-40 -Chl-Tr(Act)-Bt, An 30 -Chl-Tr(Act), and An 30 -Tr ( Act ) -Bt assemblages are suggested to be intermediate and reflect the direction of metasomatic processes.
Made an attempt of reconstruction structure of the Monchegorsk layered intrusion, assessing the composition of the original magma and the conditions of its kristallization. The problem was solved by simply comparing the structure of the Monchegorsk Intrusive with a similar analog (for this purpose, the Kivakka layered Intrusive was chosen), as well as using model constructions using the COMAGMAT software package.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
