TYPOCHEMISTRY OF MAGNETITE FROM MASSIVE SULFIDE AND IRON DEPOSITS OF THE URALS ACCORDING TO LA-ISP-MS DATA
The aim of the study is the determination of mineralogical and geochemical features of magnetite from massive sulfide and iron deposits to develop forecasting criteria of ore objects. The layered magnetitolites of sulfide (Mauk, Letnee, Sibai and Molodezhnoe) and stratiform iron (Kachar, Sarbai,...

| Summary: | The aim of the study is the determination of mineralogical and geochemical features of
magnetite from massive sulfide and iron deposits to develop forecasting criteria of ore objects. The layered
magnetitolites of sulfide (Mauk, Letnee, Sibai and Molodezhnoe) and stratiform iron (Kachar, Sarbai,
Estyuninskoe, Osokino-Aleksandrovskoe and Techa) deposits of volcanosedimentary association are the
objects of study. It is established using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) that, in contrast to magnetite of iron deposits, magnetite of ore-controlling volcanosedimentary horizons
of the Urals massive sulfide deposits is characterized by a higher content and stable associations of Bi, Te,
Co, As, Cd, Zn, Cu and Mo due to relict inclusions of sulfide clasts and products of their halmyrolysis. The
elevated Ti, V and Zr contents, as well as the mixed associations of lithophile, siderophile and chalcophile
elements, are more typical of magnetite of iron deposits after hyaloclastites. Typochemistry of magnetite from
volcanosedimentary horizons can be a criterion for searching the massive sulfide deposits |
