Mineralogía e inclusiones fluidas en La Baritina: tope de la mineralización de manganeso de la Sierra de Ambargasta, provincia de Córdoba

Abstract

En este trabajo se describe la mineralogía y las inclusiones fluidas del sector más superficial de un yacimiento epitermal de manganeso. El área de estudio comprende el sector central de una mineralización mayor y se caracteriza por la abundancia de minerales de ganga, compuestos por baritina, calcita y ópalo con cantidades subordinadas de calcedonia, cuarzo y óxidos de manganeso. Sus texturas y sus paragénesis minerales evidencian varios pulsos de precipitación. Los espacios abiertos entre los cristales mayores de baritina fueron ocupados por calcita y ópalo, que son especies frecuentes hacia el final del proceso mineralizador. Calcedonia y cuarzo sólo se observan dentro de pequeñas cavidades. Las inclusiones fluidas fueron estudiadas en muestras de cuarzo, baritina y calcita. Se componen de H2O, NaCl y cantidades menores de CaCl2 y MgCl2. La calcita y la baritina presentan una salinidad promedio de aproximadamente 4,18 %wt NaCleq. mientras que el cuarzo evidencia salinidades cercanas a los 5,26%wt NaCleq. Las temperaturas de homogeneización también son diferentes para cada especie: el cuarzo muestra una temperatura promedio de 148°C, mientras que la baritina y la calcita parecen tener temperaturas ligeramente mayores (184° y 171°C respectivamente). Todos los datos compilados en este trabajo sugieren que este distrito representa uno de los sectores más superficiales del yacimiento mineral. Las elevadas cantidades de minerales no metalíferos evidencian que esta área, a diferencia de las otras, fue particularmente activa durante las etapas finales del proceso mineralizador.

In this paper the mineralogy and fluid inclusion of the upper sector of an epithermal manganese deposit are described. The study area comprises the central sector of a bigger mineralised zone where non-ore mineral are the most common ones and are composed of barite, calcite and opal with fewer amounts of chalcedony, quartz and manganese oxides. Their textures and their assemblages allow us to determine several events of precipitation. The open spaces between barite crystals were filled by calcite and opal which are commoner species toward the end of the mineralization process. Chalcedony and quartz only occur inside a few small cavities. Fluid inclusions were studied in barite, calcite and quartz samples. They are composed of H2O, NaCl and fewer amounts of CaCl2 and MgCl2. Calcite and barite samples have an average salinity of about 4.18 %wt NaCleq., meanwhile quartz evidences salinities around 5.26%wt NaCleq. Homogenization temperatures are also different for each species: quartz shows an average temperature of about 148°C, meanwhile barite and calcite seem to be a little higher (184º and 171°C respectively). All the data compiled in this paper suggest that this district represents one of the uppermost sectors of the ore deposit. The high amount of non-ore minerals evidences that this area, in contrast with the others ones, was especially active during the end of the mineralization process.
