From the mantle source to the crustal sink: magmatic differentiation and sulfide saturation of the Paleoproterozoic komatiites of the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt, Finland

Résumé

Paleoproterozoic (2.05 Ga) komatiites are widespread in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (CLGB), northern Finland. Close association with sulfur (S)-rich country rocks and spatiotemporal connection with the Cu-Ni(-PGE) deposits of Kevitsa and Sakatti make these komatiites interesting targets for sulfide deposit exploration. We provide whole-rock geochemical data from Sattasvaara komatiites and combine it with literature data to form a geochemical database for the CLGB komatiites. We construct a model for the komatiites from adiabatic melting of the mantle source to fractional crystallization at crustal conditions. Using MELTS, we calculate three parental melts (MgO = 20.6-25.7 wt%) in equilibrium with Fo92, Fo93, and Fo94 olivine for the CLGB komatiites. Based on REEBOX PRO simulations, these parental melts can form from a single mantle source by different pressures and degrees of melting when the potential temperature is 1575-1700 °C. We calculate ranges of S contents for the parental melts based on the different mantle melting conditions and degrees of melting. We use Magma Chamber Simulator to fractionally crystallize the parental melt at crustal conditions. These simulations reproduce the major element oxide, Ni, Cu, and S contents from our komatiite database. Simulated Ni contents in olivine are compatible with literature data from Kevitsa and Sakatti, hence providing a baseline to identify Ni-depleted olivine in CLGB komatiites and related intrusive rocks. We show that fractional crystallization of the komatiitic parental melt can form either Ni-rich or Cu-rich sulfide melt, depending on the initial Ni and S content of the parental melt.
