摘要

Geochemical fingerprinting of igneous rocks in the Geological Record is now a well-established procedure.For lavas, methodologies are based on the so-called immobile elements, elements which are relatively unaffected by weathering and metamorphism Fingerprinting normally involves three stages: 1) classification of rock type using an immobile element proxy;2) identification of tectonically defined magma type;and 3) petrogenetic diagrams which provide more detail on the precise tectonic setting.Of the plutonic rocks, there are usually sufficient numbers of fresh granite samples that the complete bulk-rock compositions can be used, but gabbros and peridotites are normally best-studied using resistant minerals such as clinopyroxene and spinel.Alteration is even more important around most mineral deposits, especially (but not exclusively) in the case of hydrothermal deposits.Using immobile elements to classify the rock type of highly metasomatised rocks is then particularly important.These immobile elements then provide an opportunity to classify ore deposits in terms of tectonic setting.Thus VMS deposits may be assigned a tectonic setting of formation based on geochemical fingerprinting.The same is possible for ore deposits associated with granites, gabbros and peridotites.This may be useful in the construction of accurate Ore Deposit Models.In terms of assigning probabilities of economic significance to particular compositions, this goal can presently only be achieved to a limited extent.However, there are well-defined links between host rock composition and type of mineralization.
