The distribution of trace elements in sulfides and magnetite from the Jaguar hydrothermal nickel deposit: A potential link between IOA and IOCG deposits within the Carajás Mineral Province? (original) (raw)

This research investigates the distribution of trace elements in sulfides and magnetite from the Jaguar hydrothermal nickel deposit in Brazil, examining the geological settings and mineralization characteristics. It suggests a possible connection between the Jaguar deposit, which shows features typical of iron oxide-apatite (IOA) and iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposits, and aims to elucidate the sources of hydrothermal fluids influencing the mineralization. The findings may have implications for understanding the geological processes in the Carajás Mineral Province and may challenge previously held views on the relationship between these types of deposits.
