AbstractMagmatic sulfide deposits in the Emeishan large igneous province, SW China, have variable chalcophile and siderophile metal contents and can be divided into PGE, Ni-Cu-PGE and Ni-Cu deposits. PGE sulfide deposits include the Jinbaoshan and Zhubu deposits and have ores with very low sulfide contents (~ 1 to 2 vol.%) and very high Pt and Pd (0.3 to 10 ppm) and Ir (0.02 to 0.5 ppm). Typical Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide deposits include the Yangliuping and Qingkuangshan deposits, which contain sulfide ores with more than 10 vol.% sulfides (0.1-6.2 wt.% Ni, 0.03-11 wt.% Cu) and have moderate PGE contents (0.1-5 ppm Pt, 0.01-1.8 ppm Pd, < 0.5 ppm Ir). The Ni-Cu sulfide deposits, such as the Limahe and Baimazhai deposits, have sulfide-rich ores with more than 10 vol.% sulfides (0.1-4 wt.% Ni, 0.02-6.5 wt.% Cu) and are extremely poor in PGE (< 0.2 ppm Pt and < 0.3 ppm Pd, < 0.007 ppm Ir). Silicate rocks from the hosting intrusions of these three types of deposits have distinctive PGE concentrations. On the 100% sulfide basis, Pt and Pd correlate positively with Ir in the ores from the PGE deposits, whereas they correlate negatively in the Ni-Cu-PGE and Ni-Cu deposits. PGE geochemistry and model calculations indicate that the PGE-rich sulfides were separated from primary basaltic magmas, whereas the Ni-Cu-PGE sulfides were produced from magmas that had experienced minor sulfide removal (about 0.01%), and the Ni-Cu sulfides were separated from magmas that experienced about 0.025% sulfide segregation. Fractionation of monosulfide solid solution resulted in differentiation between IPGE and PPGE in the Ni-Cu-PGE and Ni-Cu deposits. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
