Primary Composition of Kimberlite Melt by Sergey Kostrovitsky, Anna Dymshits, Dmitry Yakovlev, Jing Sun, Tatiana Kalashnikova, Igor Ashchepkov, Olga Belozerova

“…It is suggested that the primary kimberlite melt of asthenospheric origin is similar in composition to the high Fe, high Ti, coherent kimberlite from the Velikan dyke (in wt. %: SiO₂–21.8, TiO₂–3.5, Al₂O₃–4.0, FeO–10.6, MnO–0.19, MgO–21.0, CaO–17.2, Na₂O–0.24, K₂O–0.78, P₂O₅–0.99, CO₂–12.6). …”

Zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf Isotopic Dating of Magmatic Rocks in the Wunugetushan Porphyry Copper-Molybdenum Deposit, Inner Mongolia by ZHANG Xuejun, ZHANG Yaoyao, LIU Kai, HE Xiaolong, WANG Shuxun, JIA Wuhui, ZHAO Zenan

“…RESULTS (1) The zircons in the study area have a high content of REE with strong enrichment of HREE, δEu negative anomaly and δCe positive anomaly, and the REE distribution curves are left-inclined. (2) The anisomitic monzogranites are the ore-hosting rocks with a weighted average value of 200.96±0.88Ma, indicating that the rock mass was formed in early Jurassic. Zircon εHf(t) ranges from 0.1 to 5.8, single-stage Hf model ages (TDM) range from 643Ma to 882Ma, and two-stage Hf model ages (TDMC) range from 874Ma to 1235Ma. (3) The rhyolite porphyritic lavas are the ore-forming parent rocks with a weighted average value of 179.58±0.91Ma, indicating that the rocks formed in the Early Jurassic. …”
