This work deals on the fluorite deposits from the Grão Pará (GP) and Rio Bravo Alto (RBA) veins systems both situated at the northern part of Santa Catarina Fluorite District. The GP deposits are controlled by an ancient shear zone. Ore deposition is related to two tectonic phases: (1) dextral transtensive reactivation related to a NE/SW compression; deposition of green-purple massive or coarse banded fluorite; tectonic and hydraulic breccias assign successive transitions from hydrostatic to tectonic regimes; the ore was affected by latter silicification; (2) reactivation as normal fault, related to a extensional tectonic; deposition of purple and yellow banded fluorite, collapse breccias and cocardes. First phase fluorite was deposited at temperatures decreasing from 170º to 120ºC; silicification temperature is around 140ºC. Second phase fluorite was deposited at temperatures between 140º and 120ºC. The fluid inclusions salinity range from 0 to 2% eq. NaCl. The isotopic composition of water from primary fluid inclusions in the fluorite at RBA (δD ͌ -60‰ SMOW) is typical of meteoric water from interior continental region. The RBA fluorite has the same HREE signature as fluorite from the southern district deposits and regional granites. REE and fluid inclusion data reject a link with alkaline magmatism. Fluorine was leached from accessory fluorite of regional granites. The fluorite deposition was connected to a single hydrothermal event correlated to the earlier hydrothermal event described at the southern district.

The Lyhamyar deposit is a large Sb deposit in the Southern Shan Plateau, Eastern Myanmar. The deposit is located in the Early Silurian Linwe Formation, occurring as syntectonic quartz-stibnite veins. The ore body forms an irregular staircase shape, probably related to steep faulting. Based on the mineral assemblages and cross-cutting relationships, the deposit shows two mineralization stages: (1) the pre-ore sedimentary and diagenetic stage, and (2) the main-ore hydrothermal ore-forming stage (including stages I, II, and III), i.e., (i) early-ore stage (stage I) Quartz-Stibnite, (ii) late-ore stage (stage II) Quartz-calcite-Stibnite ± Pyrite, and (iii) post-ore stage (stage III) carbonate. The ore-forming fluid homogenization temperatures from the study of primary fluid inclusions in quartz and calcite indicate that the ore-forming fluid was of a low temperature (143.8–260.4 °C) and moderate to high-salinity (2.9–20.9 wt. % NaCl equivalent). Hydrogen and oxygen isotopes suggest that the ore-forming fluids of the Lyhamyar deposit were derived from circulating meteoric water mixed with magmatic fluids that underwent isotopic exchange with the surrounding rocks. Sulfur in Lyhamyar was dominated by thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) with dominant magmatic source sulfur. The lead isotope compositions of the stibnite indicate that the lead from the ore-forming metals was from the upper crustal lead reservoir and orogenic lead reservoir. On the basis of the integrated geological setting, ore geology, fluid inclusions, (H-O-S-Pb) isotope data, and previous literature, we propose a new ore-deposit model for the Lyhamyar Sb deposit: It was involved in an early deposition of pyrite in sedimentary and diagenetic stages and later Sb mineralization by mixing of circulating meteoric water with ascending magmatic fluids during the hydrothermal mineralization stage.

The deposit occurs in a mid-Miocene monzonite magmatic complex represented by three different intrusions, namely Intrusion 1 (INT#1), Intrusion 2 (INT#2, INT #2A), and Intrusion 3 (INT#3). Gold mineralization is hosted in all intrusions, but INT#1 is the best mineralized body followed by INT#2. SEM-CL imaging has identified two different veins (V1 and V2) and four distinct generations of quartz formation in the different intrusions. These are: (i) CL-light gray, mosaic-equigranular quartz (Q1), (ii) CL-gray or CL-bright quartz (Q2) that dissolved and was overgrown on Q1, (iii) CL-dark and CL-gray growth zoned quartz (Q3), and (iv) CL-dark or CL-gray micro-fracture quartz fillings (Q4). Fluid inclusion studies show that the gold-hosted early phase Q1 quartz of V1 and V2 veins in INT#1 and INT#2 was precipitated at high temperatures (between 424 and 594 °C). The coexisting and similar ranges of Th values of vapor-rich (low salinity, from 1% to 7% NaCl equiv.) and halite-bearing (high salinity: >30% NaCl) fluid inclusions in Q1 indicates that the magmatic fluid had separated into vapor and high salinity liquid along the appropriate isotherm. Fluid inclusions in Q2 quartz in INT#1 and INT#2 were trapped at lower temperatures between 303 and 380 °C and had lower salinities between 3% and 20% NaCl equiv. The zoned Q3 quartz accompanied by pyrite in V2 veins of both INT#2 and INT#3 precipitated at temperatures between 310 and 373 °C with a salinity range from 5.4% to 10% NaCl eq. The latest generation of fracture filling Q4 quartz, cuts the earlier generations with fluid inclusion Th temperature range from 257 to 333 °C and salinity range from 3% to 12.5% NaCl equiv. The low salinity and low formation temperature of Q4 may be due to the mixing of meteoric water with the hydrothermal system, or late-stage epithermal overprinting. The separation of the magmatic fluid into vapor and aqueous saline pairs in the Q1 quartz of the V1 vein of the INT#1 and INT#2 and CO2-poor fluids indicates the shallow formation of the Kışladağ porphyry gold deposit.

Origin and chemical composition of fluids of hydrothermal ore veins at historical deposit Zlatý důl near Hlubočky (Lower Carboniferous of the Nízký Jeseník Upland) were studied using petrography, microthermometry and crush-leach analysis of fluid inclusions and analysis of stable isotopes of oxygen and carbon in carbonates, oxygen in quartz and sulphur in sulphides. Studied mineralization has epithermal and partly mesothermal character (Th = < 50 to 293 °C). The H2O-NaCl-CaCl2 system is mostly enclosed in the primary fluid inclusions in minerals of post-Variscan ore veins. These fluids had low to medium homogenization temperatures (68 to 293 °C) and moderate to high salinities (19–27 wt. % NaCl eq.). In contrast, low to moderate salinity (0–10 wt. % NaCl eq.) fluids of the system H2O-NaCl-KCl-(MgCl2-FeCl2) with low homogenization temperatures (< 50 to 110 °C) were enclosed in secondary fluid inclusions. The main source of water was probably evaporated seawater for older fluids. The source of carbon was in carbon of the homogenized Earth’s crust and partly in carbon of organic matter. Meteoric water is the main source for younger fluids. Origin of sulphur of sulphides is in the surrounding Lower Carboniferous sediments (shales). The high content of SO4 in fluids hosted by Fe-rich dolomite suggests the origin of the fluids in the evaporated Permian basins. Studied older quartz-galena vein is probably Variscan in age. Genetically similar mineralization can be found also at other localities in the Moravo-Silesian Lower Carboniferous (Culm, siliciclastics of the Lower Carboniferous age).

This paper presents the geology, chemical data, Pb-Pb zircon ages, sulfur, carbon, oxygen, strontium isotopes and fluid inclusions of Cerro dos Martins copper deposit. The deposit is hosted by the Neoproterozoic volcano-sedimentary sequence of the Camaquã Basin in the Rio Grande do Sul Shield, southern Brazil. The ores consist of a set of Cu-sulfide NW-trending veins and disseminations within of the Bom Jardim Group. Chalcocite and bornite are the main ore minerals, whereas carbonates, barite, quartz and hematite are the gangue. The volcanic host rocks show an alkaline affinity. An intrusive quartz-diorite body, also shown alkaline affinity, yield a 550±5 Ma zircon age (initial 87Sr/86Sr of 0,704), which is considered the minimum age of the copper mineralization. The δ34SCDT of sulfides ranges from –6.2 to +0.9‰. Hematite in the mineral paragenesis suggests oxidizing conditions, which would shift the original magmatic sulfur isotopic compositions (δ34S ~ 0‰) to negative values. Barite with δ34SCDT from +9.25 to +10.65‰ may also indicate oxidation due to mixing of a hot rising fluid with cold meteoric water. The δ13CPDB of calcite from gangue, in the range of – 1,90 to – 4,45% is interpreted as originated from mixing sources – magmatic and fluids contaminated by basement marbles. Studies on primary aqueous biphasic fluid inclusions show homogenisation temperatures with average of 215°C. Water in equilibrium with calcite from hydrothermal fluid show calculated values of δ O18 SMOW between 3 and 14‰, suggesting derivation from a magmatic source with some contributions from meteoric water. 87Sr/86Sr from these calcite show values between 0, 7068 – 0, 7087, typical from upper crust. Hence, the Cerro dos Martins copper deposit is interpreted to have had origin by a mixing between a magmatic-hydrotermal fluids related to the alkaline-shoshonitic, post-collisional magmatic event (595-550 Ma) of the Dom Feliciano Orogeny and basement rocks. Exploration models for copper deposits in this shield should consider the alkaline magmatism in the genesis of deposits.

Currently, fluid inclusions in halite have been frequently studied for the purpose of paleoclimate reconstruction. For example, to determine the air temperature in the Middle Miocene (Badenian), we examine single-phase primary fluid inclusions of the bottom halites (chevron and full-faceted) and near-surface (cumulate) halites collected from the salt-bearing deposits of the Carpathian region. Our analyses showed that the temperatures of near-bottom brines varied in ranges from 19.5 to 22.0 °C and 24.0 to 26.0 °C, while the temperatures of the surface brines ranged from 34.0 to 36.0 °C. Based on these data, such as an earlier study of lithology and sedimentary structures of the Badenian rock salts, the crystallization of bottom halite developed in the basin from concentrated and cooled near-surface brines of about 30 m depth. Our results comply with the data on the temperature distribution in the modern Dead Sea.

&lt;p&gt;The investigation of noble gases (He, Ne, Ar) and CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; in fluid inclusions (FI) of mantle-derived rocks from the Sub Continental Lithospheric Mantle (SCLM) is crucial for constraining its geochemical features and evolution as well as the volatiles cycle, and for better evaluating the information arising from the study and monitoring of volcanic and geothermal gases. Eastern Transylvanian Basin in Romania is one of the places in Central-Eastern Europe where mantle xenoliths are brought to the surface by alkaline magmatism, offering the opportunity for applying the above-mentioned approach. Moreover, this locality is one of the few places on Earth where alkaline eruptions occurred contemporaneously with calc-alkaline activity, thus being a promising area for the investigation of subduction influence on the magma sources and volatiles composition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this work, we studied petrography, mineral chemistry and noble gases in FI of mantle xenoliths found in Per&amp;#351;ani Mts. alkaline volcanic products. Our findings reveal that the local mantle recorded two main events. The first was a pervasive, complete re-fertilization of a previously depleted mantle by a calc-alkaline subduction-related melt, causing the formation of very fertile, amphibole-bearing lithotypes. Fluids involved in this process and trapped in olivine, opx and cpx, show &lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;He/&lt;sup&gt;40&lt;/sup&gt;Ar* ratios up to 1.2 and among the most radiogenic &lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;He/&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;He values of the European mantle (5.8 &amp;#177; 0.2 Ra), reflecting the recycling of crustal material in the local lithosphere. The second event is related to a later interaction with an alkaline metasomatic agent similar to the host basalts, that caused slight LREE enrichment in pyroxenes and crystallization of disseminated amphiboles, with FI showing &lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;He/&lt;sup&gt;40&lt;/sup&gt;Ar* and &lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;He/&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;He values up to 2.5 and 6.6 Ra, respectively, more typical of magmatic fluids.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although volcanic activity in the Per&amp;#351;ani Mts. is now extinct, strong CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; degassing (8.7 &amp;#215; 10&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; t/y) in the neighbouring Ciomadul volcanic area may indicate that magma is still present at depth (Kis et al., 2017; Laumonier et al., 2019). The gas manifestations present from Ciomadul area are the closest to the outcrops containing mantle xenoliths for comparison of the noble gas composition in FI. &lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;He/&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;He values from Stinky Cave (Puturosul), Dobo&amp;#351;eni and Balvanyos are up to 3.2, 4.4 and 4.5 Ra, respectively, indicating the presence of a cooling magma (Vaselli et al., 2002 and references therein). In the same area and more recently, Kis et al. (2019) measured &lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;He/&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;He ratios up to 3.1 Ra, arguing that these values indicate a mantle lithosphere strongly contaminated by subduction-related fluids and post-metasomatic ingrowth of radiogenic &lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;He. Our findings consider more likely that magmatic gases from Ciomadul volcano are not representative of the local mantle but are being released from a cooling and aging magma that resides within the crust. Alternatively, crustal fluids contaminate magmatic gases while they are rising to the surface.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kis et al. (2017).

The Fukeshan Cu (Mo) deposit is a newfound porphyry deposit in the northern Great Xing’an Range (GXR), northeast China. In this paper, we present results of chalcopyrite Re–Os geochronology, microthermometry of the fluid inclusions (FIs), and isotopic (H–O–S–Pb) compositions of the Fukeshan Cu (Mo) deposit. Its ore-forming process can be divided into sulfide-barren quartz veins (A vein; stage I), quartz + chalcopyrite + pyrite veins (B vein; stage II), quartz + polymetallic sulfide veins (D vein; stage III), and barren quartz + carbonate ± pyrite veins (E vein; stage IV), with Cu mineralization mainly occurred in stage II. Three types of FIs are identified in this deposit: liquid-rich two-phase (L-type) FIs, vapor-rich two-phase (V-type) FIs, daughter mineral-bearing three-phase (S-type) FIs. The homogenization temperatures of primary FIs hosted in quartz of stages I–IV are 381–494 °C, 282–398 °C, 233–340 °C, and 144–239 °C, with salinities of 7.2–58.6, 4.8–9.9, 1.4–7.9, and 0.9–3.9 wt. % NaCl equivalent, respectively. FIs microthermometry and H–O isotope data suggest that the ore-forming fluids were magmatic in origin and were gradually mixed with meteoric water from stages II to IV. Sulfur and lead isotope results indicate that the ore-forming materials of the Fukeshan Cu (Mo) deposit were likely to have originated from Late Jurassic intrusive rocks. The available data suggest that fluid cooling and incursions of meteoric water into the magmatic fluids were two important factors for Cu precipitation in the Fukeshan Cu (Mo) deposit. Chalcopyrite Re–Os dating yielded an isochron age of 144.7 ± 5.4 Ma, which is similar to the zircon U–Pb age of the quartz diorite porphyry, indicating that Late Jurassic quartz diorite porphyry and Cu mineralization occurred contemporaneously.
