Origin of the Vanadiferous Serpentine–Magnetite Rocks of the Mt. Sorcerer Area, Lac Doré Layered Intrusion, Chibougamau, Québec
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Magmatic processes dominate Fe–Ti–V mineralization and revealing these processes is essential for providing a scientific foundation for exploration models. This study focuses on the metamorphosed Neoarchean (ca. 2728 Ma) tholeiitic layered Lac Doré Complex (LDC) that is currently being explored for V. Contamination may play an important role in the evolution of the Fe–Ti–V-enriched layered zone (magnetitite, anorthosite, and gabbro mostly, and ultramafic rocks locally) of the LDC. This hypothesis is tested by performing a detailed chemical and petrological investigation of serpentine-magnetite-dominated rocks located in the Mt. Sorcerer area. The studied rocks have evolved (apatite-bearing, Fe-rich, Cr-Ni-Ti-poor) and primitive (Mg-rich, Si-poor) characteristics. Pre-metamorphism rocks contained olivine Fo82–90 (now serpentine) and magnetite. These rocks formed from a Si-depleted magma under high fO2 conditions (+1.8 to +3.0 relative to the fayalite-magnetite-quartz buffer; FMQ). The V-content of the magnetite varies due to reversals related to multiple injections of an evolved basaltic magma in the upper part of the LDC. The magma interacted with Fe-Mg-rich and Si-Ca-poor carbonate-facies iron formation and crystallized in the presence of oxidizing CO2-bearing fluids. Compositional layering is poorly defined due to a fast cooling rate. Consequently, the distribution of V is relatively homogeneous in the Fe–Mg-rich units of the Mt. Sorcerer area.

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.
