Uniquely high-grade iodide mineralization in the oxidation zone of the Rubtsovskoe base-metal deposit, Northwest Altai, Russia

Abstract: Unusual, high grade iodide mineralization comprising marshite, miersite, and iodargyrite has been discovered in the oxidation zone of the Rubtsovskoe VHMS base metal deposit, Northwest Altai, Rus sia. The distribution of iodides reveals distinct zoning. Iodargyrite is widespread in the upper part of the oxi dized orebody at the hypsometric level of +156 to 163 masl. The iodargyrite zone extends for more than 150 m. The content of iodargyrite in gossan occasionally reaches 1-5 vol %. Marshite is localized at th… Show more

“…Nevertheless, it may be significant to consider the results regarding the sample 13247/60 from Russia which is characterized by particularly high Al and Si contents; these elements can stand for the presence of clay minerals that distinguish the geology of the Siberian mine [ 32 , 33 ]. Further investigations even on additional samples from Solotuschinsk could confirm this hypothesis.…”

“…Iodide also occurs in high concentrations of natural gas deposits, e.g., in the Kanto Province in Japan, where it is commercially extracted in parallel to natural gas production [24]. The main solid forms of iodine are iodargyrite (AgI) [32][33][34][35], calcium iodate Ca(IO 3 ) 2 and caliche (occurring mostly in Chile) which is CaCO 3 containing nitrates and iodates [24]. The solar system contains 0.4 ppm F, 4.8 ppm Cl, 23 ppb Br, and 3 ppb I, making the halogens the 25th (F), 18th (Cl), 34th (Br), and 50th (I) most abundant elements in the solar system [36].…”

“…However, the factor causing the silver halides to precipitate are still being debated (e.g. Izawa et al, 2010;Pekov et al, 2011;Sillitoe, 2009;Taylor, 2011). To be noted is that Ag halides (especially iodargyrite), are commonly proposed as mineral indicators of arid or…”
