Evolution of Montviel alkaline-carbonatite complex by coupled fractional crystallization, fluid mixing and metasomatism — Part II: Trace element and Sm–Nd isotope geochemistry of metasomatic rocks: implications for REE-Nb mineralization
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Magmatic volatiles are critically important in the petrogenesis of igneous rocks but their inherent transience hampers the identification of their role in magmatic and metasomatic processes. For example, while the role of magmatic volatiles in porphyry copper systems is relatively well understood, the behavior of volatiles and metasomatic fluids in mantle and crustal magmatic-hydrothermal systems remains a work in progress. Alkaline-carbonatite complexes usually originate from the mantle and typically host REE deposits which are thought to be almost always of a hydrothermal origin. The question thus arises as to the origin of the REE and fluids and if the alkaline and carbonatite magmas are accompanied by fluids from the mantle up and through the crust. This study presents the results of whole rock trace elements and Sm–Nd isotopes analyses of clinopyroxenites, melteigites, ijolites, melanosyenites, leucosyenites, granites, silicocarbonatites, magnesiocarbonatites, calciocarbonatites, ferrocarbonatites and polygenic breccias from the 1894 Ma Paleoproterozoic alkaline-carbonatite complex of Montviel, Abitibi, Canada. The metasomatic rocks range in REE concentrations from 100 ppm to 3.54 wt.% and show ε Nd values ranging from + 6.8 to − 7.2. Based on these results it is demonstrated that volatile-saturated magmas at Montviel were injected through 4 distinct mantle pulses which evolved by fractional crystallization, mixing of depleted mantle and crustal fluids and metasomatism.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
