Ryabinovoe copper-gold-porphyry deposit (Southern Yakutia): geology, noble gases isotope systematics and isotopic (U-Pb, Rb-Sr, Re-Os) dating of wallrock alteration and ore-forming processes
Abstract
In the Ryabinovoe copper-gold-porphyry deposit, the ore mineralization is belonging to multi-stage metasomatism fields, which were formed in two stages. In the first, pre-ore stage, high-temperature potassium-sodium metasomatites – aegirine feldspathites – were appeared whereas gumbeites – in the second, low/medium-temperature stage as a both – carbonate-sericite-muscovite-orthoclase and quartz-carbonate-barite-adular varieties. The results of isotopic investigations (U-Pb, Rb-Sr, Re-Os, 40Ar/36Ar, 3He/4He, 20Ne) of the above-mentioned metasomatites and ore mineralization are discussed in the paper.
