“…The 87 Sr originated from the decay of the radioactive element 87 Rb; hence, it is called a radiogenic isotope. No measurable fractionation of Sr isotopes occurs during mineral precipitation and dissolution, and the δ 87 Sr values of aqueous phase are closely related to those of the rock and ore (Barbieri and Morotti, 2003;de Caritat et al, 2005;Naftz et al, 1997;Negrel et al, 2001). However, initial Sr concentrations and δ 87 Sr values can be modified by mixing as groundwater or surface water flows through different rocks and ores.…”

“…Sulfur ( 34 S) and strontium ( 87 Sr) isotopes have been widely used in coal and multi-metal mining processes to investigate environmental contamination problems in water, soil and air (de Caritat et al, 2005;Dogramaci and Herczeg, 2002;Gammons et al, 2013;Gammons et al, 2010;Gammons et al, 2009). Sulfate has a wide range of stable isotope compositions in natural waters.…”

Native lead, a rare mineral, occurs in a late-stage vein in the world's largest lead-zinc-silver deposit, at Broken Hill, Australia. The lead-bearing vein consists mainly of laumontite, quartz, biotite and muscovite, together with minor amounts of lead, galena, sphalerite, molybdenite, and rare allanite-(Ce). Three types of fluid inclusions have been identified: two-phase brine inclusions lacking daughter crystals, brine inclusions "packed" with daughter crystals, and vapor-only inclusions. These fluid inclusions, together with stability data for coexisting minerals, indicate that the native lead formed by precipitation from lowtemperature (270-300°C) brines in a near-surface, low-pressure environment. The 207 Pb/ 204 Pb value for the native lead differs significantly from the values for galena and amazonitic orthoclase from the Broken Hill orebody, but overlap the array defined by galena in Cambrian epithermal deposits in the region.

“…According to Caritat et al (2004), generally chemical quality of groundwater from basement bedrock is often very different from waters from superficial deposits. Bedrock groundwater is often more mature more basic, more reducing, and more sodium rich and contains more of most minor/trace elements than groundwater from shallow aquifers.…”

Hydrogeochemical study of the fractured/weathered basement of the Oban Massif, southeastern Nigeria has been carried out. Results indicated that concentrations of major cations and anions exhibited the following order of abundance: Ca>Na>Mg>K and HCO 3 >SO 4 >Cl, respectively, with minor variations across sampling seasons. Ca-Na-Cl-SO 4 and Ca-Mg-HCO 3 water types have been identified as major facies, resultant from congruent influences of weathering (mainly silicates), ion exchange processes, and water mixing.Keywords: groundwater; cation; anion; weathering; ion exchange; Oban massif; Nigeria. Química das águas subterrâneas do Maciço Oban, Sudeste da Nigéria RESUMOEstudo hidrogeoquímico do embasamento fraturado / intemperizado do Maciço Oban, sudeste da Nigéria foi realizado. Os resultados indicaram que as concentrações de cátions e ânions apresentaram a seguinte ordem de ocorrência: Ca> Na> Mg> K e HCO3> SO4> Cl, respectivamente, com pequenas variações entre as estações de amostragem. Os tipos de água Ca-Na-Cl-SO4 e Ca-Mg-HCO3 têm sido identificados como os principais fácies, resultantes de influências congruentes de desgaste (principalmente silicatos), processos de permuta iónica e água de mistura.
