“…Iron phase minerals were not detected because of their amorphous nature or because they were beyond the detection limit. The strengite reported in other nodules from the Chucki Sea by Kolesnik and Kolesnik (2013) was not found in our samples.…”

Abundant ferromanganese oxide deposits were recovered from the Chukchi Sea in the Arctic Ocean during the 7th Chinese Arctic Scientific Expedition in August 2016. Representative samples were collected to perform a mineralogical and geochemical analysis and elucidate their origin. Their mineral phases consist of todorokite, buserite, and birnessite, along with a small quantity of detrital minerals (quartz, feldspar, serpentine, kaolinite, and illite). Their elemental composition is rich in Ni and Mn compared to ferromanganese oxide deposits from other locations in the Chukchi Sea. The total rare earth element (REE) concentration varied from 138.95 to 207.23 μg/g with an average of 164.75 μg/g. The post-Archean Australian shale-normalized REE patterns have a slightly negative Ce anomaly and a positive Eu anomaly. The comprehensive geochemical and mineral data show that they have a mixed hydrothermal and diagenetic origin.

“…The composition of these Chukchi Shelf samples is similar to nearshore nodules studied by Baturin and Dubinchuk (2011) that were recovered from a single site in Russian waters of the Chukchi Sea at 79 m water depth during the expeditions coordinated by the Russia-US RUSALCA Program in 2009 (https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/ explorations/09arctic/welcome.html). However, when multiple nodule collection sites from both Russian and United States waters from the RUSALCA Program were investigated by Kolesnik and Kolesnik (2013), those nodules were found to have higher iron to manganese ratios and lower concentrations of phosphorus compared to the results of Baturin and Dubinchuk (2011).…”

Minerals occurring in marine environments span the globe and encompass a broad range of mineral categories, forming within varied geologic and oceanographic settings. They occur in coastal regions, either from the continuation or mechanical reworking of terrestrial mineralization, as well as in the deep ocean, from diagenetic, hydrogenetic, and hydrothermal processes. The oceans cover most of the Earth's surface and as a result, any inventory of global resources is incomplete without the inclusion of marine minerals. This study by the U.S. Geological Survey reviews current knowledge regarding deep-ocean and coastal marine minerals within the marine areas surrounding Alaska, including the Alaska Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). For the purposes of this study, we have divided these areas in to eight regions:(1) Gulf of Alaska seamounts, (2) Chukchi Borderland, (3) Canada Basin, (4) Aleutian Arc, (5) Seward Peninsula, (6) Goodnews Bay, (7) Bristol Bay and Alaska Peninsula, and (8) southern and southeastern Alaska. The Alaska OCS encompasses several areas broadly conducive to marine mineral formation, including extensional basins resulting from an active subduction zone where massive sulfide deposits may form, deep abyssal plains with conditions that may lead to manganese nodule formation, seamounts that can provide substrate for the growth of ferromanganese crusts, and erosional settings and submerged continental crust where placer deposits are found. For deep-ocean hydrothermal minerals and manganese nodules, the Alaska OCS contains prospective regions, including the Canada Basin and the Aleutian Arc; however, no such minerals have yet been identified. We explore the probability that these minerals occur based on reviews of existing geologic and oceanographic data within the relevant sections. In regions far from shore data are limited. Deep-ocean ferromanganese crusts are known to occur in two regions: (1) the Gulf of Alaska seamounts and (2) the Chukchi Borderland in the Arctic Ocean. Limited sampling has occurred in both regions, and along the Chukchi Borderland the sampling was outside of the OCS and the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. Data relevant to coastal minerals is more extensive, and in some places fairly systematic sampling was conducted. Several nearshore placer deposits have been exploited for decades; however, the potential for nearshore extension of terrestrial ore deposits is less well considered. This contribution considers the state of knowledge regarding marine mineral occurrences within the Alaska regions and identifies the data gaps in order to help inform future marine mineral related research efforts around Alaska.

“…In recent decades special attention has been paid to ferromanganese concretions of sedimentary hydrothermal origin; they are generally enriched in many metals, so can be used as polymetallic mineral deposits (Zhelezo-margantsevye …, 1989;Kolesnik and Astakhova, 2018;Kolesnik and Kolesnik, 2013;Krasnov, 1995;Strakhov, 1974). Mineral concretions of the hydrothermal type proper are of less practical importance, and are less known, probably for that reason (Granina et al, 2010;Manceau et al, 2007).…”

Carbonate concretions are formed at the base of a sequence of hydrothermal clay in the South Kambalnyi Central Thermal Field situated in the southern part of the Kambalnyi volcanic mountain range, Kamchatka. The concretions have complex chemical and mineral compositions: apart from aragonite which is the main component of each layer, the chemical compounds identified there include oxides of iron and silicon, sulfates of calcium and barium, sulfides of iron and other metals, carbonates of iron and manganese, siliceous ferromanganese formations, nitrogen compounds, and phosphates of calcium and rare metals. The concretions have diverse structures and textures that indicate a multiphase character of formation for these mineral aggregates. It is thought that their formation was due to the discharge of deep-seated alkaline metalliferous solutions in a zone of rock argillization of the South Kambalnyi Central Thermal Field.
