Supra-subduction pridotite melting causing magmatic redox condition of Dehsalm and Chahshaljami Ore-bearing Cu porphyry deposits; In-situ Zircon Analysis

Oxygen fugacity (fO2) and zircon crystallization temperatures (Ti-in-zircon) of ore-bearing quartz monzonite intrusive rocks of ChahShaljami and Dehsalam Cu-Mo porphyry deposits were measured by using calculations of zircon trace element values and oxidation conditions of parental magma were investigated. The Ce4+/Ce3+ values for ChahShaljami and Dehsalam are in a range of 8 to 295 with an average of 125 and 3 to 171 with an average of 35, respectively, therefore they were not in the favorable range for porphyry mineralization. The estimated fO2 values for ChahShaljami and Dehsalam are in the range of ∆FMQ -1.8 to MFMQ +0.6 with an average of ∆FMQ -0.6 and ∆FMQ -1.3 to ∆FMQ -0.4 with an average of ∆FMQ -0.8 which is at least ∆FMQ +1 less than the values of porphyry copper mineralization in the world.. Based on the zircon log fO2 values of ore-bearing intrusive rock, the parental magma originated from partial melting of supra-subduction mantle peridotite zone within oceanic slab. Melting under unfavorable conditions (under magnetite-hematite (HM) buffer and in faylite-magnetite-quartz (FMQ) buffer condition, and lack of sufficient Cu and sulfur at the source), which is supported by evidences in deposit such as lack of magnetite-hematite intergrowths, was not ideal for porphyry Cu porphyry mineralization in the two regions. The results are supported also by previous whole-rock major and trace element geochemistry and Sr-Nd isotopic values.
