Abstract |
Table 1: Geochemical and radiogenic isotope data of 86 new rocks from 13 volcanic edifices of Ecuador and Colombia produced in this study. Major and minor elements are expressed as oxides (wt.%) whereas trace elements are expressed as ppm; bdl = below detection limit; nm = not measured. Major and minor elements were measured by XRF, whereas all trace elements reported were measured by LA-ICPMS, except trace elements of Casitagua and Illiniza volcanoes which were measured by XRF. Radiogeni cisotopes were measured on a MC-ICPMS Neptune Plus. The epsilon-Nd value reported is calculated with respect to the CHUR reservoir, assuming a 143Nd/144Nd value of CHUR of 0.512638 (Wasserburg et al., 1981; Hamilton et al., 1983).
In this project we want to investigate the behaviour of chalcophile metals during crustal evolution of subduction and post-subduction magmas. The main aim is to compare magmatic sulphide saturation processes and the behaviour of several chalcophile metals (Cu, Au, some PGEs) during magmatic evolution between subduction-related (Andean-type) and post-subduction magmas. The project will also investigate the possibility of recycling previously formed magmatic sulphides by subsequent magmatic pulses as a potential process leading to the formation of fertile magmas. Porphyry deposits occur in both above settings with similarities but also differences in terms of petrogenesis, geochemistry of the associated magmas and metal suites. The above aim will be addressed through detailed petrographic, mineral chemistry and Cu-Zn isotope investigations of magmatic sulphides and their host minerals as well as experimental petrology. The geological areas that will be investigated are the Ecuadorian Quaternary arc and three Miocene post-subduction volcano-plutonic complexes of Western Anatolia, one of which hosts the Au-porphyry of Kisladag (5.5 Moz Au).Because the fate of chalcophile metals during crustal magmatic evolution at convergent margins has been shown to have implications on the understanding of both crustal growth mechanisms and the formation of the largest natural suppliers of Cu to our society, teh so-called porphyry-type deposits, the overall results of this project have the potential to influence several fields of research in Earth Sciences.
