The ~ 1.1 Ga St. Ignace Island Complex, Northern Ontario, Canada: Evidence for Magma Mixing and Crustal Melting in the Generation of Midcontinent Rift-Related Bimodal Magmas and Implications for Regional Metallogeny
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Abstract The St. Ignace Island complex in Northern Ontario is a package of dominantly felsic rocks emplaced within the upper portions of the Osler Volcanic rocks of the ~1.1 Ga Midcontinent Rift System. The Osler volcanic rocks are predominantly tholeiitic basalts intercalated with rare interflow sediments and rhyolites. The St. Ignace Island complex is an ~26-km2 stock with a felsic core of quartz–feldspar–phyric rhyolites and dacites and an outer ring of anorthosite and gabbro. Textures at a variety of scales within the rocks of the complex show clear evidence of the mingling and mixing of partially crystallized mafic and felsic liquids. Two multigrain (zircon/baddeleyite) fractions from a sample of the gabbro define a Discordia line with an upper intercept date of 1107 ± 8.9 Ma. The core of the complex consists of dacites and rhyolites with similar REE abundances with negative Nb anomalies, whereas the surrounding mafic rocks are gabbros to monzogabbros that are less LREE-enriched than the felsic rocks but with similar HREE. Felsic units have a narrow range of 87Sr/86Sri (0.7032–0.7045) and 143Nd/144Ndi (0.51051–0.51057), whereas the mafic end members have similar 87Sr/86Sri (0.7040–0.7061) but more radiogenic 143Nd/144Ndi (0.51067–0.51085). Very well-preserved silicate melt inclusions (MI), many completely glassy, were observed in quartz, clinopyroxene, and some plagioclase phenocrysts from the complex. These represent some of the oldest unrecrystallized silicate melt inclusions described to date. Melt inclusions within quartz from the felsic volcanics are broadly rhyolitic in composition, whereas MI from plagioclase in the mafic volcanics range from basalt to basaltic andesite; these felsic and mafic melt compositions are interpreted to represent the end-member liquids in the system and bulk rock analyses affirm mixtures of the two. Concentrations of Cu and Ag (in both mafic and felsic MI), and Mo (in felsic MI), are up to an order of magnitude higher in the mafic and felsic MI than in continental crust. Bulk rock metal concentrations are also significantly lower than in the MI, suggesting that the melt inclusions may preserve pre-eruptive metal tenors that were subsequently modified by sulfide saturation, degassing, or post-solidus hydrothermal alteration. The whole rock and MI geochemistry of the St. Ignace complex are broadly similar to the Central Osler Group and, given the broad similar ages, suggests they may have been derived from a similar mantle source, but distinct from the source of rhyolites in the Black Bay Peninsula. The negative Nb anomalies and negative εNd values for the St. Ignace complex are consistent with mixing with older continental crust during ascent and emplacement. The rocks of the St. Ignace Island complex likely formed as the result of emplacement of a large mafic magma chamber at the base of the Osler volcanic pile that triggered partial melting to generate the rhyolite end members. The felsic melts ascended to shallower levels in the crust where they mixed with mafic magmas derived directly from the deeper chamber. Generally, melt inclusions in the complex have very high Cu and Ag contents, similar to those observed in arc-related and extremely oxidized early rift-related rocks and may account for the world-class volcano-sediment-hosted Cu–(Ag) deposits within the rift and the presence of small porphyry-style deposits.
