“…Cobalt is rarely found to be metallogenically independent of other metals and is mostly produced as a byproduct of the mining of copper, nickel, iron and other minerals. Common ore‐forming element combinations are Ni–Co (e.g., Berong, Philippines, Tupaz et al, 2020), Cu–Ni–Co (e.g., Sudbury, Canada, Naldrett, 2004; Voisey's Bay, Canada, Barnes et al, 2017), Cu–Co (e.g., Zambian Cu–Co belt, Sillitoe et al, 2017), (Cu)–Co–Fe (e.g., Shilu Fe–Co–Cu deposit, China, Yu et al, 2014), and Cu–Co–Zn (e.g., Pusangguo Co‐bearing Cu–Pb–Zn deposit, M. Li et al, 2020). On a global scale, Co–Au deposits (e.g., Tuolugou, China, C. Y. Feng et al, 2006) and Co–Au–Cu deposits (Werner Lake, Canada, Pan & Therens, 2000; Slack, 2013; Slack et al, 2017; Carlow Castle, Australia, Fox et al, 2019; Kalagailei, China, Ge et al, 2013) are relatively rare.…”

U–Pb and Re–Os geochronology of the Yundukala Au–Cu–Co deposit in East Junggar, NW China: Constraints on the timing of mineralization and ore‐bearing rocks

East Junggar is an important part of the Central Asia Orogenic Belt and has developed a multi‐epoch and multi‐type metallogenic system. Yundukala is a recently discovered large intrusion‐related Au–Cu–Co deposit. The No. 1 main mineralization zone mainly occurs in the contact area between fine‐grained diorite and basalt. Massive and vein mineralization have developed there, but the ore‐bearing stratum, ore‐bearing intrusive rocks, and metallogenic ages are not clear. Zircon SHRIMP U–Pb dating of the porphyritic diorite and fine‐grained diorite yields ages of 416.1 ± 3.9 Ma and 411.1 ± 7.5 Ma, respectively. The dioritoid intruded into the ore‐bearing stratum, indicating that this formation is part of the Early Palaeozoic strata rather than the Middle Devonian Beishan Formation. The Re–Os isochron age of the chalcopyrite in the massive mineralization is 402.6 ± 5.2 Ma; thus, the massive mineralization is related to fine‐grained diorite and formed in the Early Devonian. Six sulphides and four sulphides from the vein mineralization yield Re–Os isochron ages of 352.8 ± 1.8 Ma and 354 ± 23 Ma, respectively, and the limited vein mineralization was formed during 353–354 Ma. The massive and vein mineralizations in the Yundukala deposit were formed in the Early Devonian and Early Carboniferous.

Cobalt is a critical and strategic metal mainly found as associated element in several types of deposits, of which skarn‐type deposits are the major sources. Han‐Xing type skarn iron deposit, having high grade iron ore and associated cobalt, is a typical skarn‐type iron ore in China. But the complete recovery and exploitation of cobalt are restricted because of the lower grade of related cobalt and the dearth of prior research on its occurrence condition and enrichment mechanism. In this paper, pyrite from five typical ore deposits in the Han‐Xing area was studied by using electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and laser‐ablation inductively‐coupled‐plasma mass‐spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS) techniques to decipher the occurrence state and enrichment mechanism of associated cobalt in skarn‐type iron deposits. The results show that Co2+ replaces Fe2+ in pyrite through isomorphism. The distribution of cobalt in pyrite from different deposits varies greatly, that is, in the Xishimen iron deposit, the cobalt content is comparatively enriched in the pyrite's core. In contrast, in other deposits, the cobalt content is concentrated in the pyrite's rims, where it can be up to 1000 times higher than in the core. The cobalt mineralization in Han‐Xing area can be divided into several stages. The sulphur element of sulphide is mainly derived from evaporite, while cobalt mineralization occurred in the early stage with pyrite formation or in the late stage by metasomatism/cementation of Co‐rich ore‐forming fluid. The magma assimilated with the Ordovician evaporite not only promoted iron mineralization, but also became the main controlling factor for cobalt enrichment.
