SDLRC - Region: British Columbia - All


The Sheahan Diamond Literature Reference Compilation - Technical, Media and Corporate Articles based on Major Region - British Columbia
The Sheahan Diamond Literature Reference Compilation is compiled by Patricia Sheahan who publishes on a monthly basis a list of new scientific articles related to diamonds as well as media coverage and corporate announcements called the Sheahan Diamond Literature Service that is distributed as a free pdf to a list of followers. Pat has kindly agreed to allow her work to be made available as an online digital resource at Kaiser Research Online so that a broader community interested in diamonds and related geology can benefit. The references are for personal use information purposes only; when available a link is provided to an online location where the full article can be accessed or purchased directly. Reproduction of this compilation in part or in whole without permission from the Sheahan Diamond Literature Service is strictly prohibited. Return to Diamond Region Index

Each article reference in the SDLRC is tagged with one or more key words assigned by Pat Sheahan to highlight the main topics of the article. In addition most references have been tagged with one or more region words. In an effort to make it easier for users to track down articles related to a specific region, KRO has extracted these region words and developed a list of major region words presented in the Major Region Index to which individual region words used in the article reference have been assigned. Each individual Region Report contains in chronological order all the references with a region word associated with the Major Region word. Depending on the total for each reference type - technical, media and corporate - the references will be either in their own technical, media or corporate Region Report, or combined in a single report. Where there is a significant number of technical references there will be a technical report dedicated to the technical articles while the media and corporate references are combined in a separate region report. References that were added in the most recent monthly update are highlighted in yellow within the Region Report. The Major Region words have been defined by a scale system of "general", "continent", "country", "state or province" and "regional". Major Region words at the smaller scales have been created only when there are enough references to make isolating them worthwhile. References not tagged with a Region are excluded, and articles with a region word not matched with a Major Region show up in the "Unknown" report.

Abstract: Carbonatites host economic deposits of niobium (Nb), rare earth elements (REE), phosphate, baddeleyite (natural zirconia), vermiculite, and fl uorspar, and historically, supplied copper, uranium, carbonate (for cement industries) and sodalite (Pell, 1994 and Simandl, this volume). The Upper Fir carbonatite is in southeastern British Columbia, approximately 200 km north of Kamloops (Fig. 1). It is one ofmany known carbonatite occurrences in the British Columbia alkaline province, which follows the Rocky Mountain Trench and extends from the southeastern tip of British Columbia to its northern boundaries with the Yukon and Northwest Territories (Pell, 1994). The Upper Fir is a strongly deformed carbonatite with an indicated mineral resource of 48.4 million tonnes at 197 ppm of Ta2O5 and 1,610 ppm of Nb2O5, and an inferred resource of 5.4 million tonnes at 191 ppm of Ta2O5 and 1760 ppm of Nb2O5 (Kulla et al. 2013). The Nb, Ta, and vermiculite mineralization is described by Simandl et al. (2002, 2010), Chong, et al, (2012), and Chudy (2014). In this document we present the results of an orientation survey designed to determine the biogechemical signature of a typical carbonatite in the Canadian Cordillera. This survey suggests that needles and twigs of White Spruce (Picea glauca) and Subalpine Fir (Abies lasio carpa) are suitable sampling media to explore for carbonatites and carbonatite-related rare earth elements (REE), niobium (Nb), and tantalum (Ta) deposits.

Abstract: In response to rising demand of the rare earth elements (REE), recent exploration of the British Columbia alkaline province has identified the Wicheeda Carbonatite, which contains an estimated 11.3 million tons of light REE-enriched ore grading 1.95 wt.% TREO, to be the highest-grade prospect known in British Columbia. However, research of the deposit is restricted to one paper describing mineralization in carbonatite dikes adjacent to the main plug. This study describes the nature and origin of REEmineralization in the Wicheeda plug. The carbonatite was emplaced in metasedimentary limestone and argillaceous limestone belonging to the Kechika Group, which has been altered to potassic fenite immediately adjacent to the carbonatite and to sodic fenite at greater distances from it. The carbonatite comprises a ferroan dolomite core, which passes outwards gradationally into calcite carbonatite. Three texturally distinct varieties of dolomite have been recognized. Dolomite 1 constitutes most of the carbonatite; Dolomite 2 replaced Dolomite 1 near veins and vugs; Dolomite 3 occurs as a fracture and vug-lining phase with the REE mineralization. Stable carbon and oxygen isotopic ratios indicate that the calcite carbonatite is of mantle origin, that Dolomite 1 is of primary igneous origin, that Dolomite 2 is largely primary igneous with minor hydrothermal signature contamination, and that Dolomite 3 is of hydrothermal origin. Rare-metal mineralization in the deposit is, with the exception of pyrochlore, which occurs in the calcite carbonatite, restricted to veins and vugs in the dolomite carbonatite. There it occurs as hydrothermal veins and in vugs infilled by REE-fluorocarbonates, i.e., bastnäsite-(Ce), ancylite-(Ce), and monazite- (Ce) together with accessory pyrite, barite, molybdenite, and thorite. A model is proposed in which calcite carbonatite was the earliest magmatic phase to crystallize. The calcite carbonatite magma saturated with niobium relatively early, precipitating pyrochlore. The magma later evolved to a dolomite carbonatite composition which, upon cooling exsolved an aqueous carbonic fluid, which altered the Kechika metasediments to potassic fenite and mixed with formational waters further from the carbonatite to produce sodic fenite. This fluid mobilized the REE as chloride complexes into vugs and fractures in the dolomite carbonatite. Upon progressive fluid-rock interaction, the REE precipitated largely in response to cooling and pH. Hydrothermal concentration led to remarkable grade consistency, with virtually all of the dolomite carbonatite containing >1 wt.% TREO, making the Wicheeda Carbonatite a very attractive exploration target.

Friedman, E., Polat, A., Thorkelson, D.J., Frei, R.Lithospheric mantle xenoliths sampled by melts from upwelling asthenosphere: the Quaternary Tasse alkaline basalts of southeastern British Columbia, Canada.Gondwana Research, In press available 22p.Canada, British ColumbiaAlkaline rocks, basalts

Abstract: The Quaternary Tasse basalts are exposed near the north shore of Quesnel Lake in southeastern British Columbia. They host a variety of mantle xenoliths consisting predominantly of spinel lherzolite with minor dunite and pyroxenite. Mineralogically, the xenoliths are composed of olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and spinel characterized by forsterite (Fo87-93), enstatite (En90-92), diopside (En45-50-Wo40-45-Fs5), and Cr-spinel (6 ? 11 wt.% Cr), respectively. All of the mantle xenoliths are coarse-grained and show granoblastic textures. Clinopyroxene and spinel display textural evidence for chemical reactions with percolating melts. The mantle xenoliths are characterized by restricted Mg-numbers (89 ? 92) and low abundances of incompatible elements (Ba = 2 ? 11 ppm; Sr = 3 ? 31 ppm) and Yttrium (1 ? 3 ppm). On the basis of REE patterns, the xenoliths are divided into three groups reflecting the various degrees of mantle metasomatism: (1) Group 1 consists of concave-up LREE patterns (La/Smcn = 0.48 ? 1.16; Gd/Ybcn = 0.71 ? 0.92); (2) Group 2 possesses flat to moderately LREE-enriched patterns (La/Smcn = 1.14 ? 1.92; Gd/Ybcn = 0.87 ? 1.09); and (3) Group 3 is characterized by strongly LREE-enriched patterns (La/Smcn = 1.53 ? 2.45; Gd/Ybcn = 1.00 ? 1.32). On MORB-normalized trace element diagrams, the majority of the xenolith samples share the enrichment of LILE (Rb, Ba, K), U, Th, Pb, Sr and the depletion of HFSE (Nb, Ta, Ti, Y) relative to REE. These geochemical characteristics are consistent with a compositionally heterogeneous subcontinental lithospheric mantle source that originated as subarc mantle wedge peridotite at a convergent plate margin. The Tasse basalts have alkaline compositions characterized by low SiO2 (44 ? 46 wt.%) and high alkali (Na2O + K2O = 5.1 ? 6.6 wt.%) contents. They are strongly enriched in incompatible elements (TiO2 = 2.4 ? 3.1 wt.%; Ba = 580 ? 797 ppm; Sr = 872 ? 993 ppm) and, display OIB-like trace element patterns (La/Smn = 3.15 ? 3.85; Gd/Ybn = 3.42 ? 4.61). They have positive ?Nd (+ 3.8 to + 5.5) values, with 338 ? 426 Ma depleted mantle model ages, and display uniform OIB-like Sr (87Sr/86Sr = 0.703346 ? 0.703591) and Pb (206Pb/204Pb = 19.40 ? 19.58; 207Pb/204Pb = 15.57 ? 15.60; 208Pb/204Pb = 38.99 ? 39.14) isotopic compositions. The basalts erupted discontinuously along a > 1000 km long SE-NW-trending linear belt with minimal compositional variation indicative of a homogenous mantle source. The Sr ? Nd ? Pb isotope and trace element systematics of the alkaline basalts suggests that they originated from partial melting of an upwelling asthenospheric mantle source. Melting of the asthenospheric mantle might have stemmed from extension of the overlying lithosphere in response to the early stages of back-arc basin opening in the Omineca and Intermontane belts. Ridge subduction beneath the Canadian Cordillera might have played an important role in the weakening of the lithospheric mantle prior to its extension. Alternatively, melting of the upwelling asthenosphere in response to the delamination of the lithospheric mantle beneath the Rocky Mountain Trench might have generated the alkaline lavas.

Aley, Lonnie, WicheedaJournal of Geochemical Exploration, Vol. 165, pp. 159-173.Canada, British ColumbiaGeochemistry - carbonatites

Abstract: This orientation survey indicates that Quantitative Evaluation of Materials by Scanning electron microscopy (QEMSCAN®) is a viable alternative to traditional indicator mineral exploration approaches which involve complex processing followed by visual indicator mineral hand-picking with a binocular microscope. Representative polished smear sections of the 125-250 ?m fraction (dry sieved and otherwise unprocessed) and corresponding Mozley C800 table concentrates from the drainages of three carbonatites (Aley, Lonnie, and Wicheeda) in the British Columbia Alkaline Province of the Canadian Cordillera were studied. Polished smear sections (26 × 46 mm slide size) contained an average of 20,000 exposed particles. A single section can be analyzed in detail using the Particle Mineral Analysis routine in approximately 3.5-4.5 h. If only mineral identification and mineral concentrations are required, the Bulk Mineral Analysis routine reduces the analytical time to 30 min. The most useful carbonatite indicator minerals are niobates (pyrochlore and columbite), REE-fluorocarbonates, monazite, and apatite. Niobate minerals were identified in the 125-250 ?m fraction of stream sediment samples more than 11 km downstream from the Aley carbonatite (their source) without the need for pre-concentration. With minimal processing by Mozley C800, carbonatite indicator minerals were detected downstream of the Lonnie and Wicheeda carbonatites. The main advantages of QEMSCAN® over the traditional indicator mineral exploration techniques are its ability to: 1) analyze very small minerals, 2) quickly determine quantitative sediment composition and mineralogy by both weight percent and mineral count, 3) establish mineral size distribution within the analyzed size fraction, and 4) determine the proportions of monomineralic (liberated) grains to compound grains and statistically assess mineral associations in compound grains. One of the key advantages is that this method permits the use of indicator minerals based on their chemical properties. This is impossible to accomplish using visual identification.

Abstract: Phosphorus is the central ingredient in fertilizer that allows modern agriculture to feed the world’s population. This element, also critical in a host of industrial applications, is a nonrenewable resource that is sourced primarily from the phosphatic mineral apatite, hosted in sedimentary and igneous ores. World phosphate resources are estimated by the U.S. Geological Survey at ca. 300,000 Mt, of which 95% are sedimentary and 5% are igneous. Current known USGS reserve estimates are sufficient for a maximum of 200 to 300 years; the exploration and discovery of new resources, enhanced mining technologies, and new technologies aimed at the recovery and recycling of P from sewage and agricultural runoff will all contribute to extending P production. Igneous ores are generally associated with Phanerozoic carbonatites and silica-deficient alkalic intrusions that typically average 5 to 15 wt % P2O5, which can be beneficiated to high-grade concentrates of at least 30 wt % P2O5 with few contaminants. Carbonatites are typically the smallest and youngest parts of a carbonatite-alkaline rock complex that formed during fractional crystallization of a calcic parental alkaline silicate melt, or from liquid immiscibility of a carbonate-rich nephelinite that underwent magmatic fractionation and differentiation during ascent from the mantle source. Fluorapatite generally crystallizes early, near the liquidus, and over a small temperature interval below the apatite saturation temperature that varies strongly with temperature, SiO2 and CaO concentrations, and the aluminosity of the melt. Carbonatite-alkaline rock complexes commonly possess a concentric, zonal structure thought to reflect caldera volcanism. Pathfinder elements in soils, sediments, tills, and vegetation include Nb, rare earth elements (REEs), P, Ba, Sr, F, U, and Th, and in water, F, Th, and U are indicators. Remote sensing techniques with the ability to identify minerals rich in CO3, REEs, and Fe2+ that are characteristic of carbonatites are also important exploration tools that may provide vectors to ore. Sedimentary phosphorite is a marine bioelemental sedimentary rock that contains >18 wt % P2O5. While small peritidal phosphorites formed in Precambrian coastal environments, economically significant upwelling-related phosphorite did not accumulate until the late Neoproterozoic and continued through the Phanerozoic. Coastal upwelling delivered deep, P-rich waters to continental shelves and in epeiric seas to drive phosphogenesis and form the largest phosphorites on Earth. High-grade deposits formed as a result of hydraulic concentration of phosphate grains to form granular beds with minimal gangue. The amalgamation of these beds into decameter-thick, stratiform ore zones is generally focused along the maximum flooding surface, which is a primary exploration target in upwelling-related phosphorite. In addition to P, other elements concentrated in igneous and sedimentary phosphorites are Se, Mo, Zn, Cu, and Cr, which are important agricultural micronutrients. Other saleable by-products include U and REEs. The U concentration in sedimentary phosphorite is generally between 50 and 200 ppm, but can be as high as 3,000 ppm, making it an increasingly important source of U for the nuclear industry. The concentration of REEs in some sedimentary phosphorites is comparable to the world’s richest igneous and Chinese clay-type REE deposits. The source of the dissolved P in upwelling ocean water is ultimately derived from the chemical weathering of continental rocks, the process that links igneous and sedimentary phosphorites through time and space. The covarying temporal relationship of igneous and sedimentary deposits suggests that plate tectonics and the concentration of apatite in a progressively more felsic crust underpins the feedback processes regulating the biogeochemical cycling of P. Critical to the generation of greenfield exploration targets is the recognition that large P deposits emerged in the late Neoproterozoic. The geological environments conducive for exploration can be constrained from an understanding of ore-forming processes by the use of complementary petrological techniques, including fieldwork, petrography, sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy, and geochemistry.

Verity, Fir, Gum, Howard Creek, FelixLithos, in press available, 64p.Canada, British Columbiacarbonatite - Blue River

Abstract: Apatites from the Verity, Fir, Gum, Howard Creek and Felix carbonatites of the Blue River (British Columbia, Canada) area have been investigated with respect to their paragenesis, cathodoluminescence, trace element and Sr–Nd isotopic composition. Although all of the Blue River carbonatites were emplaced as sills prior to amphibolite grade metamorphism and have undergone deformation, in many instances magmatic textures and mineralogy are retained. Attempts to constrain the U–Pb age of the carbonatites by SIMS, TIMS and LA–ICP-MS studies of zircon and titanite were inconclusive as all samples investigated have experienced significant Pb loss during metamorphism. The carbonatites are associated with undersaturated calcite–titanite amphibole nepheline syenite only at Howard Creek although most contain clasts of disaggregated phoscorite-like rocks. Apatite from each intrusion is characterized by distinct, but wide ranges, in trace element composition. The Sr and Nd isotopic compositions define an array on a 87Sr/86Sr vs˛Nd diagram at 350 Ma indicating derivation from depleted sub-lithospheric mantle. This array could reflect mixing of Sr and Nd derived from HIMU and EM1 mantle sources, and implies that depleted mantle underlies the Canadian Cordillera. Although individual occurrences of carbonatites in the Blue River region are mineralogically and geochemically similar they are not identical and thus cannot be considered as rocks formed from a single batch of parental magma at the same stage of magmatic evolution. However, a common origin is highly probable. The variations in the trace element content and isotopic composition of apatite from each occurrence suggest that each carbonatite represents a combination of derivation of the parental magma(s) from mineralogically and isotopically heterogeneous depleted mantle sources coupled with different stages of limited differentiation and mixing of these magmas. We do not consider these carbonatites as primary direct partial melts of the sub-lithospheric mantle which have ascended from the asthenosphere without modification of their composition.

Abstract: This study reports the combined major, minor and trace element compositions, and stable (C, O), radiogenic (Nd, Pb, and Sr) isotopic compositions, and first ?11B isotopic data for the Fir, Felix, Gum, and Howard Creek carbonatites from the Blue River Region, British Columbia (Canada). These sill-like occurrences were intruded into Late Proterozoic strata during rifting and extensional episodes during the Late Cambrian and Devonian -Mississippian, and subsequently deformed and metamorphosed to amphibolite grade in relation to a collisional-type tectonic environment. The carbonatites at Fir, Gum, and Felix contain both calcite and dolomite, whereas the carbonatite at Howard Creek contains only calcite. The dolomite compositions reported here are consistent with those experimentally determined by direct partial melting of metasomatized peridotitic mantle. The combined major and trace element compositions and ?13CPDB (?5.37 to ?4.85‰) and ?18OSMOW (9.14 to 9.62‰) values for all the samples investigated are consistent with those for primary igneous carbonate and support their mantle origin. However, these signatures cannot be attributed to closed system melt differentiation from a single parental melt. The initial Nd, Pb, and Sr isotopic ratios are highly variable and suggest generation from multiple, small degree parental melts derived from a heterogeneous mantle source. The ?11B values for carbonates from Felix, Gum, and Howard Creek vary between ?8.67 and ?6.36‰, and overlap the range for asthenospheric mantle (?7.1?±?0.9‰), whereas two samples from Fir yield heavier values of ?3.98 and ?2.47‰. The latter indicate the presence of recycled crustal carbon in their mantle source region, which is consistent with those for young (<300?Ma) carbonatites worldwide. The radiogenic and B isotope results for the Blue River carbonatites are compared to those from contrasting, anorogenic tectonic settings at Chipman Lake, Fen, and Jacupiranga, and indicate that similar upper mantle sources are being tapped for carbonatite melt generation. The pristine, mantle-like ?11B values reported here for the Blue River carbonatites clearly demonstrate that this isotope system is robust and was not perturbed by post-solidification tectono-metamorphic events. This observation indicates that B isotope signatures are a valuable tool for deciphering the nature of the upper mantle sources for carbonates of igneous origin.

Abstract: Paleozoic continental margin strata in the western Foreland Belt of the Canadian Cordillera are characterized in part by alkaline volcanic sequences, carbonatite intrusions, coarse clastic sedimentary units, and erosional unconformities. These strata also contain a record of mid-Paleozoic contractional deformation unseen in coeval passive margin strata in the eastern Foreland Belt. In order to test potential genetic links between Paleozoic alkaline igneous activity, active margin sedimentation, and deformation in the western Foreland Belt, and better understand their implications for the evolution of the Foreland Belt as a whole, we have undertaken a detailed mapping and structural study of the Aley carbonatite intrusion and its host strata in the western Foreland Belt of NE British Columbia. Our work demonstrates that carbonatite emplacement was coeval with a Late Devonian contractional nappe-forming tectonic event. Interpreting tectonism as associated with continental collision along a long-lived active margin provides the best explanation for our structural and stratigraphic observations, and suggests that the western Foreland Belt is far-travelled and exotic relative to coeval passive margin strata in the eastern Foreland Belt. Deformed alkaline-carbonatite intrusions that characterize continental suture zones in Africa may provide an analogue for the Aley carbonatite and correlative alkaline-carbonatite complexes in the western Foreland Belt.

Abstract: Using Rock Canyon Creek REE-F-Ba deposit as an example, we demonstrate the need for verifying inherited geochemical data. Inherited La, Ce, Nd, and Sm data obtained by pressed pellet XRF, and La and Y data obtained by aqua regia digestion ICP-AES for 300 drill-core samples analysed in 2009 were compared to sample subsets reanalysed using lithium metaborate-tetraborate (LMB) fusion ICP-MS, Na2O2 fusion ICP-MS, and LMB fusion-XRF. We determine that LMB ICP-MS and Na2O2 ICP-MS accurately determined REE concentrations in SY-2 and SY-4, and provided precision within 10%. Fusion-XRF was precise for La and Nd at concentrations exceeding ten times the lower detection limit; however, accuracy was not established because REE concentrations in SY-4 were below the lower detection limit. Analysis of the sample subset revealed substantial discrepancies for Ce concentrations determined by pressed pellet XRF in comparison to other methods due to Ba interference. Samarium, present in lower concentrations than other REE compared, was underestimated by XRF methods relative to ICP-MS methods. This may be due to Sm concentrations approaching the lower detection limits of XRF methods, elemental interference, or inadequate background corrections. Aqua regia dissolution ICP-AES results, reporting for La and Y, are underestimated relative to other methods.

Ghent, E.D., Edwards, B.R., Russell, J.K.Pargasite bearing vein in spinel lherzolite from the mantle lithosphere of the North American Cordillera. Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, Vol. 56, pp. 870-885.Canada, British Columbialherzolite

Abstract: Basanite lavas near Craven Lake, British Columbia, host a spinel lherzolite xenolith containing cross-cutting veins with pargasitic amphibole (plus minor apatite). The occurrence of vein amphibole in spinel lherzolite is singular for the Canadian Cordillera. The vein crosscuts foliated peridotite and is itself cut by the basanite host. The amphibole is pargasite, which is the most common amphibole composition in mantle peridotite. Rare earth element concentrations in the pargasite are similar to those for mafic alkaline rocks across the northern Cordilleran volcanic province (light rare earth elements ?50× chondrite and heavy rare earth elements ?5× chondrite). Two-pyroxene geothermometry suggests that the vein and host peridotite were thermally equilibrated prior to sampling by the basanite magma. Calculated temperature conditions for the sample, assuming equilibration along a model steady-state geotherm, are between 990 and 1050 °C and correspond to a pressure of 0.15 GPa (?52 ± 2 km depth). These conditions are consistent with the stability limits of mantle pargasite in the presence of a fluid having XH2O < ?0.1. The pargasite vein and associated apatite provide direct evidence for postaccretion fracture infiltration of CO2-F-H2O-bearing silicate fluids into the Cordilleran mantle lithosphere. Pargasite with low aH2O is in equilibrium with parts per million concentrations of H2O in mantle olivine, potentially lowering the mechanical strength of the lithospheric mantle underlying the Cordillera and making it more susceptible to processes such as lithospheric delamination. Remelting of Cordilleran mantle lithosphere containing amphibole veins may be involved in the formation of sporadic nephelinite found in the Canadian Cordillera.
