Altération et minéralisation d'uranium à Shea Creek (Ouest Athabasca, Saskatchewan, Canada) : vers un nouveau modèle génétique de gisement / Clay alteration and uranium mineralization in the Shea Creek area in the Athabasca basin, Saskatchewan, Canada : toward a new model of genesis of unconformity related uranium depositsUri, Freddy 13 December 2012 (has links)
Shea Creek est un gisement d'uranium liée à la discordance entre un socle métamorphique et des roches sédimentaires d'origine fluviatile, d'âge Paléo-protérozoïque et situé dans la partie ouest du bassin d'Athabasca. Ce gisement majeur est le plus profond connu actuellement dans le bassin (entre 680 m et 1000 m de profondeur). Il rassemble en un même lieu tous les types de minéralisation associés à une discordance connus de par le monde. Cette étude s'appuie sur l'analyse de plus de 1200 échantillons du halo d'altération qui entoure le gisement et sur l'utilisation des données d'exploration minière. L'objectif est double. Il s'agit d'une part de déterminer des guides sédimentologiques, pétrographiques, minéralogiques et géochimiques pour la prospection des corps minéralisés en zone profonde et d'autre part d'utiliser ces critères pour construire une représentation tridimensionnelle simplifiée (minéralisation et halo d'altération) permettant de préciser le modèle génétique de ce gisement profond. La localisation des différentes zones minéralisées dépend non seulement des phénomènes d'altération liés aux circulations hydrothermales contrôlées par la tectonique, mais aussi de la nature du remplissage sédimentaire et de son évolution diagénétique. L'architecture de la zone minéralisée de Shea Creek montre que les corps minéralisés sont localisés dans des structures en grabben remplies par des alternances de grès propres et de grès argileux souvent préservés de la compaction et de l'altération. La signature minéralogique et géochimique de ces grès suggère un apport provenant de l'érosion de paléo-altérites continentales (régolithe). La très forte concentration en défauts d'ir / Shea Creek is an unconformity-type uranium deposit located in the west part of Atabaska basin. It is related to an unconformity between a metamorphic basement and sedimentary rocks of fluvial origin, of paleoproterozoic age. Shea Creek's particularity is to be the deepest ore deposit ever known in the basin (between 680 m and 1000 m deep). It gathers all types of unconformity hosted mineralization known. More than 1200 samples, taken from halo alteration around the deposit, were analyzed and mining exploration data were used for this study. First, the aim was to determine the markers for prospection of mineral elements in deep area: sedimentological, petrographical, geochemical and mineralogical types. Then, it was to build a simple three-dimensional model (mineralization and alteration halo) using these criteria in order to precise the genetic pattern of this deep deposit. The location of mineralized areas depends on tectonic deformation, on sedimentary filling and diagenetic development. The morphology of Shea Creek’s ore deposit shows clearly that mineralization is located in the grabbens composed by clean sandstones and clay sandstones, often preserved from compaction and alteration phenomena. The mineralogical and geochemical signature of these clay sandstones suggests a contribution from the erosion of continental paleo-alterite (regolith). Beside, the great concentration of radiation induced defects suggests the presence in abundance of uranium in the grabbens from sedimentary state.

Altération de l'île volcanique de Mayotte (Comores) : approches par géochimie des eaux et isotopie du silicium sur les roches de profils d'altération / Alteration of the volcanic island of Mayotte (Comoros) : approaches by water geochemistry and silicon isotopes on rock weathering profilesPuyraveau, Romain-Arnaud 05 October 2016 (has links)
Dans cette étude, nous cherchons à dresser le bilan de l’altération à l’échelle de l’île de Mayotte (en surface et en souterrain), à contraindre l’impact des facteurs de contrôle dominant l’altération, puis à caractériser les processus impliqués dans les fractionnements des isotopes du silicium à l’échelle du profil d’altération.Deux campagnes d’échantillonnage incluant des eaux de rivières et des eaux souterraines ont été réalisées en saison humide et sèche, complétées par le prélèvement mensuel de 5 rivières. La prise en compte des crues (3 % de l’année) dans le calcul des taux d’altération moyens annuels en rivière a entraîné une augmentation de ≈32 % du bilan annuel. Le taux d’altération chimique global de l’île de Mayotte s’élève à 94 t/km²/an (81 t/km²/an en surface & 131 t/km²/an en souterrain). Nos résultats mettent en avant le rôle prépondérant des écoulements souterrains dans le transport de matériel dissous directement à l’océan. La contribution du domaine souterrain au bilan de l’altération diminue avec l’âge des formations, soulignant l’implication de l’âge des roches du bassin versant comme paramètre clé dans le contrôle des taux d’altération.Les isotopes du Si ont été analysés sur des roches totales le long de profils d’altération associés à différentes conditions d'altération du régolite : météorique (basse température) ou hydrothermale (haute température). À l’échelle du profil, les deux types de régimes ont montré un appauvrissement en 30Si en fonction du degré d’altération. À l’échelle du minéral, le fractionnement des isotopes du Si s’est révélé plus négatif pendant la précipitation de kaolinite secondaire à haute température qu’à basse température. / In this study, we seek to establish the weathering budget at the scale of the island of Mayotte (rivers and groundwater), to constrain the impact of dominant control factors to the weathering both locally and at a global scale, and then to characterize the processes involved in the fractionation of silicon isotopes across the weathering profile.Two field campaigns, in order to sample river water and groundwater, were carried out during wet and dry season, supplemented by the monthly monitoring of 5 rivers. By taking account of river floods (3% of the year) in the calculation of average annual weathering rates in the river has increased the annual weathering budget by ≈32%. The overall rate of Mayotte Island chemical weathering is 94 t/km²/yr (81 t/km²/yr from surface & 131 t/km²/yr from underground). Our results highlight the important role of groundwater flow to the dissolved material export directly to the ocean. The contribution of groundwater to the weathering budget decreases with the age of the geological formations, highlighting the involvement of the age of the rocks of the watershed as a key parameter in the weathering rates control.Si isotopes were analyzed for whole rock along two weathering profiles associated with different alteration conditions of the regolith: meteoric (low temperature) or hydrothermal (high temperature). At the weathering profile scale, the two types of alteration regimes showed 30Si depletion as a function of the degree of weathering. At the mineral scale, Si isotope fractionation was more negative during the secondary kaolinite precipitation at high temperatures than at low temperatures.

Structural controls of gold mineralisation in Seguelen pit of Siguiri gold mine, GuineaBeavogui, Massa January 2015 (has links)
The present study provides the results of detailed mapping and analysis of structures encountered in Seguelen pit of Siguiri gold mine, Guinea, where the Siguiri mine is geo-tectonically located in the Baoulé-Mossi domain of Man Shield in West African craton. The gold deposit is hosted in low-grade metamorphic sediments of turbidites sequences which form part of the Lower Proterozoic of Birimian Super group. Three rock formations of Balato, Fatoya and Kintinian underlay the overall pits. The Siguiri gold mine is characterized by the deep weathering profile, developed over the rocks reaching 200 m below the surface in some areas and often capped by the lateritic gravel or duricrust. The rock formations at Seguelen area are characterised by strong bedding monotonously dipping towards SW and trending NW-SE. The lithology of the host rocks has strong control on the disseminated mineralisation throughout the deposit. Two domains of rock formations are clearly distinguished at Seguelen: Fatoya Formation(Ffm) domain ; and Kintinian Formation (Kfm) domain. The two domains are separated by a contact zone of 1.7 m wide parallel to bedding and characterised by the presence of quartz fragments as well as thinly sheeted shale and black shale. This contact zone is identified as disconformity. The major tectonic deformation which has affected the region is known as D2 corresponding to the Eburnean orogeny. The major D2 related structures is the regional thrust striking N-S over an area of 12 km long and 3 km wide and within which corridors all Siguiri gold Mine open pits are located. In the N-S trending structures, there is east-northeast shortening and north-northwest extension. There is pervasive hydrothermal alteration (carbonatization and sideritization) and supergene alteration in the all pits. The hydrothermal alteration attests the intensity of hydrothermal fluid-flow over the host rocks. The hydrothermal fluids flowed along the fractures and within the wall rocks through bedding plans to form numerous auriferous quartz veins bearing disseminated sulphides through chemical reaction between fluids and wall rocks, which are remarkable at Seguelen pit. Three quartz vein sets are distinguished at Seguelen: NNE-SSW quartz vein set NE-SW quartz vein set NW-SE quartz vein set The NE-SW and NNE-SSW quartz veins are often lenticular and associated with the bulk mineralisation.

A Re-Os Study of Sulfides from the Bagdad Porphyry Cu-Mo Deposit, Northern Arizona, USABarra-Pantoja, Luis Fernando January 2001 (has links)
Use of Re-Os systematics in sulfides from the Bagdad porphyry Cu-Mo deposit provide information on the timing of mineralization and the source of the ore -forming elements. Analyzed samples of pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite mainly from the quartz monzonite and porphyritic quartz monzonite units are characterized by a moderate to strong potassic alteration (secondary biotite and K- feldspar). Rhenium concentrations in molybdenite are between 330 and 730 ppm. Two molybdenite samples from the quartz monzonite and porphyritic quartz monzonite provide a Re-Os isotope age of 71.7 ± 0.3 Ma. A third sample from a molybdenite vein in Precambrian rocks yields an age of 75.8 ± 0.4 Ma. These molybdenite ages support previous suggestions of two mineralization episodes in the Bagdad deposit. An early event at 76 Ma and a later episode at 72 Ma. Pyrite Os and Re concentrations range between 0.008-0.016 and 3.9-6.8 ppb, respectively. Chalcopyrite contains a wide range of Os (6 to 91 ppt) and Re (1.7 to 69 ppb) concentrations and variable ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios that range between 0.13 to 22.27. This variability in the chalcopyrite data may be attributed to different copper sources, one of them the Proterozoic volcanic massive sulfides in the district, or to alteration and remobilization of Re and Os. Analyses from two pyrite samples yield an eight point isochron with an age of 77 ± 15 Ma and an initial ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratio of 2.12. This pyrite Re-Os isochron age is in good agreement with the molybdenite ages. We interpret the highly radiogenic initial 1870s/188Os as an indication that the source of Os and, by inference, the ore-forming elements for the Bagdad deposit, was mainly the crust. This conclusion agrees with previous Pb and Nd isotope studies and supports the notion that a significant part of the metals and magmas have a crustal source.
