- W4310016076 abstract "The Karakoram Block in North Pakistan formed during the late Permian-Triassic on the southern margin of Asian Plate with a topography characterized by glaciated high mountains. Several rivers and streams draining from these mountain peaks carry detritus with precious and base metals. However, the primary source deposits and their ore genesis remain unknown due to the rugged glaciated topography and inaccessibility for prospecting and in situ sampling. Here, we present a multi-parametric analytical approach including major and trace element characteristics, thermoelectric analysis, EPMA elemental mapping, XRD analysis, and sulfur and lead isotopic studies on the detrital auriferous pyrite from Shimshal Valley placer gold deposits in the Karakoram Block of the north Pakistan to gain insights into the ore genesis, provenance and current erosion or denudation rate of the source primary deposits found in the hinterlands of the Shimshal Valley. The pyrite with varying forms such as {100} + {111} + {210} followed by {210} + {111} and {100} + {210}, which are highly enriched in gold (up to 1700 ppm) as revealed through EPMA analysis. The low to moderate temperature estimated for their formation (100 to 360 °C), pyrite geochemical characteristics, geochemical discrimination diagrams (Fe/S-As, Fe + S-As, As-Co-Ni) and elements contents (Au, Ag, Cu) of the placer gold grains, as well as the high (58.2 %) and low (41.8 %) thermoelectric coefficients of N-type and P-type, suggest that the auriferous pyrite belong to the epithermal type of magmatic-hydrothermal systems. The XnP value (average −48.7 %), γ value (average 62.8 %) in conjunction with the n(S)/n(Fe) values of 1.97–2.11 of pyrite indicate that the placer gold deposits are derived from the middle-upper part of the ore body. The high Mo/Ni (average 5.4) and Co/Ni (average 2.7) ratio combined with detrital zircon UPb geochronology, zircon fertility indicators such as Eu/Eu*, Ce/Nd, (Ce/Nd)/Y, Dy/Yb, (Eu/Eu*)/Y, texture and REE patterns correlate the ore mineralization with the Hunza Plutonic Unit emplaced on the catchment of the valley. The narrow variations in δ34S values, ranging from −5.3 to 3.8 ‰ with an average of −4.7 ‰, suggest that sulfur has a homogeneous magmatic source. The Pb isotopes values range 18.487 to 18.692, 15.713 to 15.745, and 38.964 to 39.416 for 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb, and 208Pb/204Pb, respectively. Our results suggest that metals for ore-forming fluid involved considerable contribution of crustal-derived materials." @default.
