Element mobility and chemical mass transfer are evaluated in the formation of Cu—Fe exoskarn deposits and endoskarn and minor porphyry‐style alteration in the Tonglushan quartz monzodiorite (QMD) system, eastern China. Endoskarn formation involved the migration of Ca into the QMD from the exoskarnification of carbonates (now marble) xenoliths and wall rocks, addition of Fe and Mn by magmatic‐hydrothermal fluids emanating from the interior of the QMD, and removal of alkali elements due to the replacement of feldspars and mica by prograde skarn minerals. Zirconium, Hf, U, and rare earth elements (REE) were added by hydrothermal fluids which were able to carry these often poorly mobile high field strength elements (HFSE) due to elevated F activity. Additions of Al were likely from Na‐rich fluids that also caused sodic alteration. Several factors favored mineralization within the exoskarns rather than endoskarns and QMD. The endoskarns were relatively oxidizing, as evidenced by a significant addition of Fe3+, which caused Cu to remain in magmatic‐hydrothermal fluids until they entered and precipitated sulphides in the more reducing environment of the exoskarns. Fluid migration from the QMD through the endoskarns and into the exoskarns was favored due to decarbonation of wall rock carbonates and related upwards migration of CO2 to produce a self‐sustaining chimney effect, which drew further fluids towards the carbonates to form, alter and mineralize the exoskarns. The higher porosity and permeability of the endoskarns compared with the QMD further promoted the lateral flow of Cu‐bearing fluids towards the exoskarns and limited porphyry‐style alteration and mineralization within the QMD. This proposed mechanism is only likely to be relevant for porphyry‐type systems developed predominantly within carbonate host rocks. Its significance for exploration models is that relatively poorly mineralized porphyry stocks in this setting may be associated with more substantive exoskarn deposits on their margins.

Abstract Carbonatites are proven significant repositories of several critical and strategic elements such as rare earth elements, niobium, thorium, and uranium. Owing to their economic significance, mapping of carbonatites and associated mineral deposits has occupied prominent place in mineral resource exploration programs. In this study an integrated approach was developed to map carbonatite and related mineral deposits in the Loe‐Shilman, Northwest Himalaya of Pakistan, using remotely sensed advance space‐borne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (ASTER) multispectral data and visible near infrared and short‐wave infrared (VNIR‐SWIR) spectral characteristics of minerals in these deposits. Several image enhancement techniques, including band ratio (i.e., B4/B3), principal component and minimum noise fraction transformation (PC6 and MNF5, respectively) helped in highlighting the targeted rocks. The results demonstrate the suitability of ASTER data for discriminating carbonatite related mineral deposits from other surrounding lithologies. Results obtained from these methods were validated through field observations in the area and further confirmed through petrographic and chemical analyses of collected specimens. Field data have also served as training data to perform a supervised classification, allowing further improvement of the mapping results. Moreover, the obtained results from the techniques used for exploring carbonatites and related mineral deposits were stacked together for comparison with each other, to check their sensitivities, and assess their efficiency and accuracy. Generally, all these methods successfully highlighted carbonatites and related mineral deposits; however, when used integratively they exhibit higher degree of accuracy, and has proven to be relatively rapid and cost‐effective.

Lateral sampling of each blasting interval (~ 2.6 m) along a 79 m strike length was conducted for the Hosen 8‐2 vein on the −5 ML (mining level, meters relative to sea level) of the Main ore zone in the Hishikari epithermal Au deposit, Kagoshima, Japan. The horizontal variation of mineral textures, bulk chemical compositions, and fluid inclusion temperatures and apparent salinity of ore fluids were determined. The major gangue minerals of the quartz veins studied include quartz and adularia with minor amounts of calcite and smectite. The major ore minerals include electrum, galena, and sphalerite with minor pyrite, petzite, and hessite. Electrum commonly occurs in a discrete band with microcrystalline quartz, granular adularia, and smectite. The electrum‐bearing band is followed by tabular adularia, and finally by granular or comb quartz. Mineral textures that indicate high degrees of supersaturation with respect to amorphous silica (presently quartz with microcrystalline/mosaic and feathery textures) and adularia (with tabular, rhombic, and granular textures) were common throughout the vein strike. Bulk chemical analyses indicate that Au grade is positively correlated with Ag, Bi, Pb, and Te contents. A bonanza zone with Au grades up to 10,800 ppm occurs in the central part of the Hosen 8‐2 vein on the −5 ML, and is associated with high adularia content, calculated as adularia / (quartz + adularia). The wide lateral variation in the geochemical composition contrasts with the consistent association of electrum with microcrystalline quartz, granular adularia, and smectite throughout the Hosen 8‐2 vein on the −5 ML. Fluid inclusion microthermometry of primary and pseudosecondary inclusions in quartz and adularia yielded histogram modes of homogenization temperature between 160 and 240°C; the most frequent mode is 200–210°C, with most data within ±10°C from this value. The maximum ice‐melting temperature of most samples excluding late comb quartz is −1.5°C, which is equivalent to an apparent salinity of 2.6 wt% NaCl eq. The wide variation in ice‐melting temperatures and apparent salinities (up to 5.2 wt% NaCl eq.) may be due to dissolved CO2 in the fluids, while the sharp decrease in apparent salinity with temperature decrease indicates CO2 loss due to fluid boiling during vein formation. The intimate association of electrum with microcrystalline quartz that recrystallized from amorphous silica indicate sharp boiling and vapor loss as the primary mechanism of Au deposition in the Hosen 8‐2 vein.

In this review, we attempted to summarize and interpret the Phanerozoic geology and mineralization following the article (vol. 71 in Resource Geology) which reviewed the Precambrian geology and mineralization of North Korea. The basement of the Korean peninsula was built during the Precambrian and gradually became more evolved and complex during the Phanerozoic. The northern part of the peninsula was in the active and passive continental margins of the Korea–China platform during the Phanerozoic. In the tectonic environments of the Phanerozoic, the tectonic provinces of North Korea comprise several Paleozoic–Mesozoic intracontinental and rift basins as well as Cenozoic ocean border and rift basins. During the Paleozoic, the sedimentary strata were formed within the marine‐to‐nonmarine intracontinental basins, such as the largest Pyeongnam and Hyesan–Iwon basin, Imjingang rift basin, and several small structural basins, and the sedimentary type of limestone, dolomite, and coal deposits were formed. Mesozoic orogenic events in the peninsula were the most overwhelming geologic event causing block movements through collision and subduction of the paleo‐Pacific plate. Songrim orogeny (late Permian to early Triassic) might be caused by continental collision associated with strong deformation, metamorphism, and granite intrusion. Daebo orogeny (Jurassic) resumed the crustal deformation under a contractional setting during the subduction and caused dextral ductile shearing, magmatism, and metamorphism in the entire peninsula. Amnokgang orogeny, corresponding to Bulguksa orogeny in South Korea, during the Cretaceous formed several pull‐apart or transtensional basins probably because of oblique subduction of the Izanagi plate, and nonmarine sedimentary and pyroclastic sequences were deposited in the basin. The mineralization related to the Mesozoic plutonism was the most dominant in the peninsula. The considerable mineral deposits are ultramafic related magmatic Ni deposits owing to rift magmatism and granite related hydrothermal Au–Ag, Cu, Pb–Zn, Fe, W, and Mo deposits caused by the subduction of paleo‐Pacific plate. During the Tertiary, several structural basins under the extensional regime were overprinted on the Mesozoic basins in the northern part of the peninsula. They contain marine and nonmarine sedimentary rocks and felsic–mafic extrusives. Some sedimentary deposits, such as coal, kaolin, bentonite, diatomite, and zeolite, were formed. The Tertiary Pohang basin in South Korea shows basin geology, magmatism, and mineralization similar to those of North Korea. The Phanerozoic geotectonics of the peninsula are characterized by the evolution of the structural basins and violent magmatism. The peninsula is located on the Amur plate, bounded by the Philippine plate, Pacific plate, and Eurasian plate. Since Phanerozoic, the peninsula's geographic position created an important tectonic link between northeastern China and the Japanese Islands throughout ge
