Trace elements and oxygen isotope of quartz from the Nashwaak Granite and dykes, and quartz veins related to the Sisson Brook W-Mo-Cu deposit, west-central New Brunswick
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Sisson Brook W-Mo-Cu deposit, situated in west-central New Brunswick, is hosted by Cambro- Ordovician volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Miramichi and Tetagouche groups. These rocks have been intruded by the Early Devonian Howard Peak diorite-gabbro, Nashwaak Granite, a phaneritic felsic dyke swarm, and a distinctively younger Late Devonian porphyritic felsic dyke. In order to understand the magma evolution history, the textural and geochemical characteristics of quartz phenocrysts from these felsic rocks were analyzed with the aid of SEM-cathodoluminescence (CL), laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA ICPMS), and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). Four intrusive granitic units in the Sisson Brook deposit area: (1) medium-grained, equigranular two-mica granite with brown biotite that is slightly altered to chlorite; (2) biotite- granite with ca. 20 % greenish brown biotite and accessory zircon, apatite, monazite, magnetite, titanite, sulfide and ilmenite; (3) biotite-granite dykes with similar mineralogical features to the biotite-granite; and (4) porphyry dykes with phenocrysts consisting of approximately 23 % plagioclase, 10 % quartz, 8 % biotite, and 7 % K-feldspar. Quartz phenocyrsts in two-mica granite and biotite-granite plutonic phases is unzoned indicating that it formed at relatively stable magma chamber. Quartz dissolution textures in the dyke phases might be caused by cooling from 600°C to 300°C at pressure below 1 Kbar. Quartz phenocrysts in porphyry dyke samples are oscillatory-zoned. With the assumption that the activity of Ti in these magmas is 0.8 (based on the presence of ilmenite rather than rutile), Ti-In-quartz geothermometry indicates that the porphyry dykes formed at a temperature above 675°C, twomica granite and biotite-granite plutons formed at 600°C to 700°C, and the biotite-granite dykes formed at slightly below 600°C. Higher Ge/Ti ratios reflect greater degrees of magma differentiation. This ratio increases from porpyrhy dykes, two-mica granite and biotite-granite pluton phases to biotite dykes. The highest Al content of quartz measured in two-mica granite is consistent with the highest aluminium saturation index of its whole rock. The oxygen isotope of quartz is from 8-8.5 perthousand for biotite-granite, 9-10 perthousand for biotite dykes and porphyry dykes, and 10-10.5 perthousand for the two-mica granites. The later mineralization quartz veins in the dykes have oxygen isotope values between 8.5 perthousand to 9.5 perthousand, indicating the hydrothermal fluids related to the Sisson Brook deposit are dominantly magmatic fluids.

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.
