The giant Vergenoeg fluorite deposit in a magnetite-fluorite-fayalite REE pipe: a hydrothermally-altered carbonatite-related pegmatoid?

Abstract.
The world-class Palaeoproterozoic Vergenoeg fluorite
deposit in South Africa is hosted in a breccia pipe comprising units
with varying proportions of pegmatoidal fayalite, magnetite, fluorite
and siderite. The adjacent A-type Bushveld granites also have
associated fluorite deposits containing fluorite with similar REE
patterns, fluid inclusion and Sr isotope compositions to those at
Vergenoeg’ leading to the proposal that there is a genetic
relationship. This is despite the silica-undersaturated nature
(SiO2<30%) of the Pipe and its extreme enrichment in Ca, F, Fe, Nb,
P and REE compared to granites. Both liquid immiscibility from a
granitic melt and granitic magmato-hydrothermal activity have been
proposed as genetic mechanisms to explain this exotic composition.
However, the Vergenoeg Pipe shows greater similarities to alkaline
rocks, in particular the Phalabowra carbonatite of similar age,
including: i) size and shape, ii) associated maars, iii) mineralogical
zoning, iv) geochemical, radiogenic and stable isotope composition, and
v) presence of both high-T and low-T fluid inclusions. This suggests an
alternative genetic relationship with alkaline magmas, in which some
geochemical and radiogenic isotopic similarities to Bushveld granites
are the consequence of broadly contemporaneous development in the same
tectonic setting within the same lithosphere, whereas others may be due
to hydrothermal overprinting by a similar fluid. Similarities with
Phalabowra and also with Bayan Obo, Mongolia, indicate that the
Vergenoeg pegmatoid pipe could be an extreme carbonatite-associated
member of the iron-oxide Cu-Au (±REE±P) group of deposits.
