“…Its open structure allows it to incorporate significant quantities of trace elements (e.g., Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Se, Co, Ni). Trace element studies of pyrite provide information on ore paragenesis, the source of metals, the origin of various ore deposits, and how trace elements can be used to vector to hydrothermal ore deposits (e.g., Large et al, 2007;Gregory et al, 2015;Steadman et al, 2015;Mukherjee and Large, 2017;Soltani Dehvani et al;. Utilizing data obtained from proton microprobe analyses of pyrite, chalcopyrite, and sphalerite from volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits in eastern Australia, Huston et al (1993Huston et al ( , 1995 showed that metamorphic growth and subsequent recrystallization of pyrite liberated some trace elements (e.g., Bi, Pb, Mo, Cu, Ag), which occur as non-stoichiometric substitutions and/or nano inclusions, to grain boundaries to either form new minerals or to be incorporated in coexisting sulfides.…”

“…This indicates that the lower Co/Ni ratio of pyrite and marcasite retains features of a sedimentary origin from their host rocks. In fact, pyrite and marcasite in most hydrothermal deposits are associated with a synsedimentary source including volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits (Belousov et al, 2016;Dusel-Bacon, Foley, Slack, Koenig, & Oscarson, 2012;Genna & Gaboury, 2015;Liu et al, 2014;Price, 1972;Zheng, Zhang, Chen, Hollings, & Chen, 2013) and sedimentary exhalative deposits (Michael et al, 2016;Mukherjee & Large, 2017).…”

“…Co/Ni distribution diagram for in situ analysis of pyrite and marcasite from different stages in the Jinding deposit. The typical deposit values are from previous studies of Mississippi Valley‐type (MVT) deposits (Frontbote and Gorzawski, ; Gao et al, ; Li et al, ; Pfaff et al, ); volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits (Bajwah et al, ; Belousov et al, ; Dusel‐Bacon et al, ; Genna & Gaboury, ; Liu et al, ; Price, ; Zheng et al, ); sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) deposits (Michael et al, ; Mukherjee & Large, ); magmatic Cu–Ni sulfide deposits (Price, ); and synsedimentary pyrites (Price, ; Steadman & Large, ) [Colour figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com]…”

“…Subtle variations in the trace-element composition of minerals, such as epidote and chlorite around porphyry Cu deposits (Cooke et al, 2014;Wilkinson et al, 2015) and pyrite around sedimentary rock-hosted Zn-Pb deposits (Mukherjee and Large, 2016), have shown promise to indicate direction towards mineralised centres. To assess such trace-element signatures confidently, however, considerably more research on mineralogical variation and hydrothermal effects is essential before the full potential of this use of geochemistry will be realised.…”
