PGE AND Ag MINERALIZATION IN A BRECCIA ZONE OF THE PRECAMBRIAN NUASAHI ULTRAMAFIC-MAFIC COMPLEX, ORISSA, INDIA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Nuasahi ultramafic-mafic complex, in Orissa, India, contains high concentrations of platinum-group elements (Pt up to 9.6 ppm, Pd up to 17.9 ppm) and Ag (up to 6.6 ppm) in a chromiferous sulfide-rich breccia zone.The plutonic complex occurs within an Archean belt of supracrustal rocks.The complex consists of an ultramafic unit in fault contact with and overlain by gabbros whose stratigraphic top is characterized by a zone of brecciation.Lode chromite deposits occur in the ultramafic suite and are currently being mined.Magnesiochromite compositions in the lodes are refractory and show little variation within the ultramafic suite (Cr 2 O 3 ~60%, Al 2 O 3 ~12%, MgO ~15%).Sudburyite, (Pd,Bi)Sb, members of the michenerite-testibiopalladite series, and irarsite-hollingworthite (IrAsS-RhAsS) are the common platinum-group minerals (PGM) in the chromite-sulfide assemblage of the breccia zone.Sudburyite is preferentially included within coarse-grained ferrian chromite, along with numerous inclusions of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, rutile, ilmenite and oriented lamellae of clinochlore.The distinctive noble-metal composition (high Pd, Pt and Ag with high Cu) and dominant Pd-Bi-Te-Sb-bearing PGM in the mineralized portion indicate its evolved nature.Mineralization developed by magmatic processes; a hybrid magma resulting from partial incorporation of serpentinized chromite-bearing ultramafic rocks and chromitite in the younger gabbroic magma was emplaced within the preexisting breccia zone.The breccia zone developed during brittle deformation along a NNW-trending shear zone.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
