La mine de Salau située dans les Pyrénées Ariégeoises est la plus grosse mine de Tungstène Française à ce jour ; la production cumulée l'élève en 1982 à 10 000 tonnes de WO₃ à une teneur moyenne de 1,35 % sous forme de scheelite contenue dans des corps de skarns et le long de failles à quarts et sulfures. De nombreuses études (S. M. A. -C. DERRE- P. SOLER) ont montré l'importance du facteur structural qui gouverne la mise en place et la géométrie des corps minéralisés. Afin de préciser ce contrôle et ses implications minières, la démarche suivante a été adoptée : grâce à la bonne qualité des affleurements, il est possible d'établir la lithostratigraphie détaillée de la série sédimentaire encaissante et d'interpréter les plissements qui l'affectent en dehors de l'auréole de métamorphisme de contact et des régions envahies par la granodiorite ; ces plissements et les différents faciès lithologiques sont ensuite servis jusqu'en mine à travers les différentes transformations qu'ils subissent.

Um ponto importante para se manter sua qualidade e o vigor é o armazenamento. O tratamento de sementes é uma técnica antiga e muito usada para esse propósito. Como uma alternativa de tratamento surge recobrimento com agrominerais. Eles apresentam composição multielementar e solubilização lenta para fornecimento de nutrientes além do recobrimento formar uma camada protetora na semente. O trabalho objetivou avaliar o efeito dos agrominerais sobre a qualidade fisiológica das sementes durante o armazenamento e sobre o desempenho das plantas em campo. Foram usados os agrominerais basalto, granodiorito e fosfato natural. As sementes foram recobertas com os três agrominerais separadamente e um quarto tratamento constou da mistura de basalto e fosfato natural, com doses de 4000, 8000 e 12000g.1000Kg-1 semente e um tratamento sem recobrimento. Para avaliação da qualidade das sementes foram realizados testes de germinação, envelhecimento acelerado, comprimento de plântulas, emergência e índice de velocidade de emergência. Para o efeito sobre o desempenho de plantas foram semeados experimentos em Capão do Leão e Encruzilhada do Sul e avaliados altura de planta, número de vagens por planta, número de grãos por vagens e rendimento de grãos. O recobrimento de sementes com os agrominerais não prejudicou a qualidade fisiológica das sementes durante o armazenamento e manteve em níveis próximos aos das sementes não armazenadas, principalmente nas doses de 4000 e 8000g.kg-1de sementes. Também apresentou efeito positivo no desempenho das plantas em campo, incluindo o rendimento de grãos, com maior rendimento no tratamento com fosfato natural nos dois locais de cultivo. / Seeds are one of the most important inputs in agriculture. An important point to maintain its quality and vigor is storage. Seed treatment is an ancient and widely used technique for this purpose. As a treatment alternative, coating with agrominerals appears. They have multielement composition and slow solubilization to provide nutrients beyond the coating to form a protective layer on the seed. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of agrominerals on the physiological quality of the seeds during storage and on the performance of the plants in the field. The agrominerals basalt, granodiorite and natural phosphate were used. The seeds were coated with the three agrominerals separately and a fourth treatment consisted of the mixture of basalt and natural phosphate at doses of 4000, 8000 and 12000 g.1000 kg -1 seed and a treatment without coating. To evaluate the quality of the seeds, germination, accelerated aging, seedling length, emergence and emergency speed index tests were performed. For the effect on the performance of plants, experiments were carried out in Capão do Leão and Encruzilhada do Sul and evaluated plant height, number of pods per plant, number of grains per pods and yield of grains. The seed coatings with the agrominerals did not affect the physiological quality of the seeds during the storage and maintained at levels close to those of the non-stored seeds, mainly in the doses of 4000 and 8000g.kg-1 of seeds. It also had a positive effect on the performance of the plants in the field, including grain yield, with a higher yield in the natural phosphate treatment at the two growing sites.

The Station Creek Igneous Complex (SCIC) is one of the largest Middle-Late Triassic plutonic bodies in the northern New England Orogen of Eastern Australia. The igneous complex comprises of five plutons - the Woonga Granodiorite (237 Ma), Woolooga Granodiorite (234 Ma), Rush Creek Granodiorites (231 Ma) and Gibraltar Quartz Monzodiorite and Mount Mucki Diorite (227 Ma respectively), emplaced as high-level or epizonal bodies within the Devonian-Carboniferous subduction complex that resulted from a westward subduction along the east Australian margin. Composition of the SCIC ranges from monzogabbro to monzogranite, and includes diorite, monzodiorite, quartz monzodiorite and granodiorite. The SCIC has the typical I-type granitoid mineralogy, geochemistry and isotopic compositions. Its geochemistry is characteristics of continental arc magma, and has a depleted-upper mantle signature with up to 14 wt% supracrustal components (87Sr/86Srinitial = 0.70312 to 0.70391; Nd = +1.35 to +4.9; high CaO, Sr, MgO; and low Ni, Cr, Ba, Rb, Zr, Nb, Ga and Y). The SCIC (SiO2 47%-76%) has similar Nd and Sr isotopic values to island-arc and continentalised island-arc basalts, which suggests major involvement of upper mantle sourced melts in its petrogenesis. SCIC comprises of two geochemical groups - the Woolooga-Rush Greek Granodiorite group (W-RC) and the Mount Mucki Diorite-Gibraltar Quartz Monzodiorite group (MMD-GQM). The W-RC Group is high-potassium, calc-alkalic and metaluminous, whereas the MMD-GQM Group is medium to high potassium, transitional calc-alkalic to tholeiitic and metaluminous. The two geochemical groups of the SCIC magmas are generated from at least two distinct sources - an isotopically evolved Neoproterozoic mantle-derived source with greater supracrustal component (10-14 wt%), and an isotopically primitive mafic source with upper mantle affinity. Petrogenetic modeling using both major and trace elements established that the variations within respective geochemical group resulted from fractional crystallisation of clinopyroxene, amphibole and plagioclase from mafic magma, and late fractionation of alkalic and albitic plagioclase in the more evolved magma. Volcanic rocks associated with SCIC are the North Arm Volcanics (232 Ma), and the Neara Volcanics (241-242 Ma) of the Toogoolawah Group. The major and trace element geochemistry of the North Arm Volcanics is similar to the SCIC, suggesting possible co-magmatic relationship between the SCIC and the volcanic rock. The age of the North Arm Volcanics matches the age of the fractionated Rush Creek Granodiorite, and xenoliths of the pluton are found within epiclastic flows of the volcanic unit. The Neara Volcanics (87Sr/86Sr= 0.70152-0.70330, 143Nd/144Nd = 0.51253-0.51259) differs isotopically from the SCIC, indicating a source region within the HIMU mantle reservoir (commonly associated with contaminated upper mantle by altered oceanic crust). The Neara Volcanics is not co-magmatic to the SCIC and is derived from partial melting upper-mantle with additional components from the subducting oceanic plate. The high levels emplacement of an isotopically primitive mantle-derived magma of the SCIC suggest periods of extension during the waning stage of convergence associated with the Hunter Bowen Orogeny in the northern New England Orogen. The geochemical change between 237 to 227 Ma from a depleted-mantle source with diminishing crustal components, to depleted-mantle fractionate, reflects a fundamental change in the source region that can be related to the tectonic styles. The decreasing amount of supracrustal component suggests either thinning of the subduction complex due to crustal attenuation, leading to the late Triassic extension that enables mantle melts to reach subcrustal levels.

MAX is a porphyry Mo deposit located near Trout Lake village in southeastern British Columbia. Mo mineralization is hosted by variably-altered calc-alkaline granodiorite dikes. Quartz veins have been subdivided into a paragenetic sequence based on vein style and crosscutting relationships. Post-magmatic Pb-Zn-Ag-bearing veins crosscut Mo-bearing veins. Similarities in fluid chemistry from both vein types suggest a genetic link between porphyry Mo mineralization and base-metal veins. Three molybdenite samples were collected from early and late Mo-bearing veins for Re-Os dating to constrain the timing of Mo-mineralizing events within the paragenetic sequence. All three dates overlap within analytical error, and yield a weighted average age of 80.3 ± 0.2 Ma. These dates are in excellent agreement with two 206Pb/238U weighted-average ages of the Trout Lake stock at 80.2 ± 1.0 Ma and 80.9 ± 1.6 Ma, indicating that the magmatic and hydrothermal ore-forming events were coeval and cogenetic.

A qualidade das sementes é determinada por fatores físicos, genéticos, fisiológicos e sanitários. O objetivo foi avaliar o comportamento de sementes de arroz durante o armazenamento e o uso de pós de rocha no recobrimento de sementes. O trabalho foi conduzido na Universidade Federal de Pelotas no ano agrícola 2013/2014. As sementes foram recobertas por dois pós de rocha sendo um granodiorito e um basalto nas doses de zero, 7,5%, 15% e 30% de pó de rocha e armazenadas por doze meses. A cada dois meses foram realizados os testes de germinação, primeira contagem de germinação, envelhecimento acelerado, teste de frio, comprimento de raiz, comprimento de parte aérea e teor de água. No mês de outubro, período de semeadura da cultura foi realizado os testes de emergência em areia, índice de velocidade de emergência e matéria seca de plântulas. Pode-se observar que o recobrimento de sementes com pós de rocha proporcionaram maior germinação, melhor desempenho no teste de frio, maior comprimento de parte aérea e redução no teor de umidade de sementes. O recobrimento proporcionou também maiores índices de velocidade de emergência e matéria seca de plântulas em relação as sementes não tratadas. / Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most cultivated cereals, especially in Asia where it concentrates 90% of world production and consumption of rice. The seed quality is determined by physical, genetic, physiological and health. The objective was to evaluate the rice seed storage behavior and the use of rock in the post seed coating. The work was conducted at the Federal University of Pelotas in the agricultural year 2013/2014. The seeds were coated with two rock powders being one granodiorite rock and basalt in the untreated seeds and the doses, 7.5%, 15% and 30% of rock dust, and stored for twelve months. Every two months were performed by standard germination, first count of germination, accelerated aging, cold test, root length, shoot length and water content. In October, crop sowing period was evaluated emergence test in sand, emergency speed index and seedling dry. It can be observed that the coating of seeds with rock powders showed higher germination, improved performance in the cold test, increased shoot length and reduction in moisture content of the seeds. The coating also provided higher speed of emergence index and seedling dry over the untreated seeds.
