Relationship Between Some Selected Major, Minor and Trace Elements in the Iocg Deposits (On the Example of the Unique Sin Quyen Deposit, Lao Cai Province, North Vietnam)

Abstract

In the paper the authors attempted to study the relations between several selected elements present in the IOCG Sin Quyen deposit, Lao Cai, North Vietnam and to interpret the obtained correlations especially with coefficient higher than 0.7. The correlations with high coefficients are mainly observed for the elements belonging to the chalcophile group (Cu, Ag, Au, Te, Bi) and for the relation between uranium and Ag, Au, Cu, Pb and Bi .But the S and Fe as well as REE currying minerals are predominant in the studied deposit, but no strong correlation between them and other elements was observed even with Cu. The phenomena primarily explained based on the geochemistry properties of the mentioned elements and the characteristics of IOCG deposits.
