1. Introduction

2. Geology

The Skellefte district is a metallogenlc province of Precambnan massive sulfide ores situated along the northern margin of the Norrland geosynchne m northern Sweden (Fig 1) The ores have been referred to as having a volcanogemc-exhalahve origin, being formed on the sea floor (Rlckard and Zweffel, 1975) during a permd of rifting within a volcamc arc (Vwallo, 1985 ) This paper reports a fired mclusmn study of some of these sulfide deposits The purpose of the mvestlgatmn was to corroborate the mltml data of Broman and Lmdblom (1984) and test to the model of ore formatmn proposed by Rlckard and Zweffel (1975)

The geology of the Skellefte district has been previously described by Gavehn and Grip (1946), Helfrlch (1971), Rmkard and Zwelfel (1975) and Lundberg (1980) The district is dominated by Precambnan volcamcs and sedimentary rocks ofsubmarme ongm (Fig 1 ) that have been folded and intruded by two mam generations of gramtolds and metamorphosed in relation to the Svecokarehan orogney The degree of metamorphism is low greenschlst facms, except m zones near the gramte contacts ( Rlckard and Zwelfel, 1975 ) The geologmal setting is characterized by the mteractmn of volcamc actlwty and sedimentation (Helfnch, 1971) The general stratl-

163 such as Knstlneberg, are located lower down m the stratigraphy The deposits form elongated lens-shaped stratabound massive F e - Z n - C u - P b - s u l f i d e bodies which are underlain by crosscutting stringer zones w~th d~ssemmated Fe-Cu-sulfides and alteratmn zones where the volcamcs have been transformed into senclte or chlorite schists (Rlckard and Zwelfel, 1975 ) 3. F l u i d i n c l u s i o n s m e t h o d All the samples selected for study are Zn-rlch specimens of the massive ore and collected from six mines Ravhden, Krlstlneberg, Ostra Hogkulla, Bjurtrask, Renstrom and Lfingdal (Fig 1 ) Sphalerlte together with pyrite are the predominant ore minerals Pyrrhot~te, chalcopyr~te, galena and arsenopynte appear irregularly m varying amounts The major gangue minerals, quartz and calcite, occur as individual grains between the sulfides Typical ore samples are more or less banded with alternating sphalerlte and pyrite concentrations, but in the K n s t m e b e r g samples sphalente occurs with chlorite as a fine-grained groundmass to the pyrite Flmd inclusions were investigated using doubly pohshed 100-/~m-thlck u n m o u n t e d thin sections of sphalente, quartz and calcite With the exceptmn of Krlstlneberg the sphalente was dark red which sometimes made it very difficult to find statable flmd inclusions In contrast the sphalerlte from Knstlneberg was more transparent ( light yellow ) The mmrothermometrlc analyses were made with the md of a heating-freezing stage of Chmxmeca ® constructmn ( P o t y et al, 1976) that was cahbrated against known melting points of pure substances 4. R e s u l t s

4 1 Fluid mclusmn morphology The mveshgatlon was performed principally on primary fluid mclusmns ( Roedder, 1981 ) but

a small number of secondary inclusions were also measured The inclusions were all of the aqueous twophase ( h q m d - v a p o r ) type No CO2 was observed and no evidence for boihng was found The size of the inclusions was generally between 5 and 10/~m, but occasional secondary inclusions were larger (up to ~ 20/~m ) The following varieties of flmd inclusions were observed in the Skellefte ores (1) Primary inclusions m sphalente and quartz from Ravllden, Ostra Hogkulla, Bjurtrask and L~ngdal that were rounded in shape and contained ~ 2-5 vol % vapor (2) Primary lnclusmns m calote from Krlstmeberg, Bjurtrask and Renstrom that were typically flat and rhombohedral-shaped with up to 20 vol % vapor (3) Secondary mclusmns m sphalerlte from Langdal that occurred along twin planes The twins are presumed to be deformation twins The inclusions were irregularly shaped with ~ 2 vol % vapor (4) Secondary lnclusmns m sphalente from Krlstmeberg Often rounded but sometimes tetrahedral-shaped mclusmns were found The vapor phase occupmd ~ 1 vol % ( 5 ) Secondary mclusions that occurred along rehealed mlcrofractures in quartz from Krlstlneberg These were irregular and often very angular m shape The vapor bubble occupmd ~ 5 vol %

for the systems CaClz-NaC1-H20 ( - 5 2 °C) and CaC12-MgClz-NaC1-HzO ( - 5 7 ° C ) (see Crawford et al, 1979) Overall, first melting was m the order of - 50 ° C, mchcatlng that the fluids were Ca-Na-C1 solutions However, the sphalente from Krlstlneberg demonstrated the lowest first melting temperatures, mean value - 5 6 ° C, suggesting an additional Mg component The final ice melting temperatures are presented m Fag 4 The main characteristic features of these results are (1) The ummodal distribution of data around - 2 ° C for primary inclusions from Ravhden,

165

Ostra Hogkulla and Bjurtrask Inclusmns m quartz from Lfingdal display a similar pattern, however with a larger scatter and with most values close to - 1 ° C (2) The somewhat lower temperatures ( mean value - 6 ° C) of primary inclusions m calcite from K n s t m e b e r g One calcite sample ymlded a value as low as - 1 7 ° C (3) The clearly lower melting temperatures obtained for secondary mclusmns than those of primary fired mclusmns

4 4 Sahn~ty determmatmns Sahmtms are estimated from the final meltmg temperatures of ice, approximated to the NaC1-H20 system and expressed as equivalents of weight percent NaC1 (Potter et al, 1978) Errors from the presence of other salts (e g, CaC12) when estimating the sahmty are small ( Crawford, 1981 ) The final ice melting temperatures for the primary fluid inclusions, except for calcite from Knstmeberg, correspond to sahmtms of ~ 4 + 2 eq wt % NaC1 Inclusmns in the K n s t m e b e r g calcite showed higher concentrations with salmitres of ~ 10 eq wt % NaC1 Secondary mclusmns in sphalente from Lfingdal demonstrated sahmtms of ~ 1 9 eq wt % NaCl whilst mclusmns m quartz from K n s t m e b e r g showed a w~de range of sahmtms from 12 to 21 eq wt % NaC1 In sphalente from the same locality the distinctly low melting points indicated a fluid with high concentratmns of dissolved salts Daughter minerals were not observed m any of the mclusmns examined

5. D i s c u s s i o n and i n t e r p r e t a t i o n Although the Skellefte district ores have been subjected to regmnal low-grade metamorphism (Rlckard and Zweffel, 1975) the deposits are relatively well preserved Etching techmques have revealed many rehct primary textures, such as growth zoning and colloform textures, which are commonly found m younger volcan-

ogemc massive sulfide deposits (Rlckard and Zwelfel, 1975) Thus data for the primary inclusions are interpreted as mdmatlve of the original deposltmnal cond~tmns Fig 5 presents a summary of homogemzatmn temperatures and sahmty data for the Skellefte deposits Homogemzatmn temperatures show two m a m phases of mmerahzatmn, one at temperatures o f ~ 2 7 0 ° C and another near 180°C ( H and L m Fig 5, respectively) Perhaps their small size (5-10 tim) made it possible to survive the metamorphm heatmg without decrepitation In this respect Rlpley and Ohmoto (1977) reported small ( ~<5/lm) fluid inclusions m quartz from the p y n t e - c h a l c o p y n t e ores at the Raul mine, Peru, that were presumed to have resisted metamorphlc temperatures of 100-150 ° C m excess of their filhng temperatures Rlckard and Zwelfel (1975) and Lundberg (1980) interpreted the Skellefte district to be a Precambrmn island arc equivalent The deposits show most of the charactenstms of volcanogemc ores that have formed m a marine environment (Rlckard and Zweffel, 1975) The ore-forming fluids are suggested to be Ca-Na-C1 solutmns w~th the composltmn resulting from heated seawater modffmd by water-rock rateractions in the volcamc pile This is in agreement with the observation that the volcamcs underlying the ores are depleted in Ca and Na (Vlvallo, 1985) The sahmty of the primary mclusmns representing the two main phases of mmerahzatmn (4 _+2 eq wt % NaC1 ) is considered to reflect the concentration of the fluids in which the ores were hydrothermally deposited on the sea floor The shghtly higher sahmty (10 eq wt % NaC1) of the primary mclusmns m calcite from K n s t m e b e r g may be explained by mixing of the modified seawater with a local more sahne component, probably a magmatm fluid, related to the older gramtold m the wclnlty of the deposit (see Figs 1 and 2) Many slmllantms have been found between the Skellefte district ores and the Tertmry kuroko sulfide deposits of J a p a n (Rmkard and Zwelfel, 1975, Vlvallo, 1985) The kuroko

seawater In periods II-IV, replacement of the first type occurred when later hydrothermal fluids migrated through the ore Period I might be represented by the lower-temperature phase of mlnerahzatlon m the Skellefte district deposits The higher-temperature phase m the present study is similar to pemod II, the major Z n - P b mmerahzatlon at 290 + 50 ° C, and period IV, the minor sphalemte mmerahzatlon at 2 8 0 + 2 0 ° C The only period m the kuroko model t h a t ts not comparable w~th the present mmrothermometrm data for the Skellefte dis-

167 trict is period III, major c h a l c o p y n t e + q u a r t z mineralization at 330_+ 30°C. Thas difference could be accounted for by the fact that samples from the Skellefte distract were taken only from the massive ore type The salmatles remained constant at 3 5-6 eq wt % NaC1 throughout all periods m the kuroko ores (Pasutha-Arnond and Ohmoto, 1983 ) However, subsequent metamorphic processes, with later generations of fluids revolved, have affected the Skellefte district ores Secondary mclusmns outlining rehealed mlcrofractures m quartz from Krlstmeberg represent a later fluid This fired healed the fractures around 200°C and was a moderately sahne aqueous solution with a salt concentratmn of ~ 15 eq wt % NaC1 The results from secondary mclusmns m sphalerite from Krlstaneberg are not shown in F~g 5 but they indicate that recrystalhzataon of sphalente took place at temperatures of 100°C m a highly saline, presumably C a - M g - N a - C 1 brine The sphalerlte from K n s t m e b e r g as accompamed by talc and Mg-rach chlorate (Du Rmtz, 1953) and seems to have become completely recrystalhzed an assoclatmn with the formatmn of these Mg-rlch minerals A separate type of fired mclusmns was found Inclusions m sphalente from the L~ngdal deposit are assumed to have formed when parts of the ore were recrystalhzed during deformation after the two mare phases of mmerahzahon These mclusmns mdmate trappmg condatmns for a solution with a salinity of 19 eq wt % NaC1 at low temperatures, in the anterval 70-120°C This could mdmate conditions during a later metamorphac event Further studms may give more detailed constraants on the relatmnsh:p between primary ore-deposition condatmns and the metamorphm overprint No pressure correctmns have been added to the homogemzatmn temperatures so the values presented here for the two mare phases of mineralization are only the mmamum temperatures of formatmn Since no evidence for boll-

mg was found the depth of seawater must have been at least 1 km as est:mated from pressure-temperature-density data for an aqueous solutmn with a sahmty of 4 eq wt % NaC1 (Haas, 1976) Based on foramamferal ewdence the kuroko manerahzatmn as eshmated to have occurred at a depth of 3500 m ( Guber and Merill, 1983) So if a samdar formatmn depth as assumed for the Skellefte distract ores a pressure correction for the homogenization temperatures should be 30-25 ° C (Potter, 1977) gnvlng formatmn temperatures of ~ 210 ° and ~ 295 ° C, respect:vely

6. Conclusions Finding statable fluid inclusions m metamorphosed ore deposxts is difficult and their xnterpretataon :s open to much d~scussaon as to whether the data truly represent the cond:tmns of ore formataon or not In spate ofth:s inherent amblgu:ty the data obtaaned in thas study are remarkably cons:stent and tend to support the hypothesis of a kuroko-type ore-forming environment for the deposlhon of the Skellefte distract sulfide ores Fired anclusmns an sphalerate, quartz and calcite mdmate that the ores were depos:ted from Ca-Na-C1 solutmns during two mare phases of mmeralazatlon around 210 ° and 295°C The salanitms of the ore-forming fluads remained generally constant (4 + 2 eq wt % NaC1) Secondary mclusmns demonstrated that the ores have subsequently been affected by more salane solutions at lower temperatures
