Mineralogy of Fluidolites and Genetically Related Igneous Rocks of the Mokrusha Area, the Taukha Terrane (Sikhote Alin, Russian Far East)

Abstract

The fluidolites and genetically related igneous rocks of the Mokrusha area were formed as a result of the injection of the melt with a high proportion of the fluid component dominated by H₂O, F, Cl, and hydrocarbons into the upper crustal layers. This particular had a significant impact on the mineralogical features of these rocks. In many aspects, in particular the mineralogy of the country rocks, the Paleocene explosive structures are similar to the lamproite pipes. The occurrence of rodingites and lamprophyre-like rocks in these structures, with prospects for commercial gold–palladium–platinum ore mineralization, is of special interest.
