Distribution of Platinum-Group Elements in Chromite Ores of the Sorkhband Ultramafic Complex, Kerman, Southeastern Iran
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Ordovician Sorkhband ultramafic complex lies in southern Kerman Province of Iran. The wedge shape complex covers an area of more than 100 km 2 and is divided into: lower part comprises of dunites, largest podiform chromitite deposits in Iran (Faryab mine), olivine clinopyroxenite dykes and massive's, wehrlite and olivine websterite dykes; and upper part comprises of clinopyroxene bearing harzburgites, with subordinate lenses and dykes of dunite, massive and dyke like olivine clinopyroxenite and minor orthopyroxenite dykes with no significant chromitite mineralization. Chromitite orebodies exhibit variable sizes and shapes, forming pods, lenses, bands, vein-like bodies and rich dissemination. Podiform chromitites in dunite form tabular to lenticular bodies although may occur also as pencil-like masses. The chromitites occur in four distinct textural modes. Massive, disseminated, banded and nodular chromitites are the most common textural types and commonly grade into one other. Massive chromitites have sharp contacts with the enclosing dunite whereas disseminated bodies grade outward into dunite and occasionally pass into interbanded chromitite and dunite. A detailed electron microprobe study reveals very high Cr#, Mg# and very low TiO 2 contents for chromian spinels in chromitites. The Sorkhband chromitites contain up to 440 ppb total PGE, and display a systematic enrichment in IPGE relative to PPGE, with a steep negative slope in the PGE spidergrams and very low PPGE/IPGE ratios, a feature typical of ophiolitic podiform chromitites worldwide. The mineral chemistry data and PGE geochemistry of the chromitites indicates that the Sorkhband ultramafic complex was generated from an arc-related magma with boninitic affinity in a supra-subduction zone setting.

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.
