Abstract

Kambelu lateritic deposit is located in ~80 km west of DAMGHAN, Semnan province. This deposit was developed as stratiform lenses along the contact of carbonates of Elika Formation (Triassic) and shale-sandstone of Shemshak Formation (Jurassic). Petrographical studies testify to the presence of collomorphic, colloformic, pseudo-porphyritic, and nodular textures within the ores of this deposit. Mineralogical data show that the ores contain diaspore, goethite, anatase, kaolinite, hematite, boehmite, and zircon. Considering the mineralogical composition and textural characteristics, this deposit was formed in an almost reduced near-surface environment. Geochemical indices like Eu/Eu* along with ratios such as Ti/Zr, Nb/Y, and Al/Ti suggest that KAMBELU deposit is a product of alteration and weathering of rocks of trachy-andesitic to basaltic composition. Comparison of the variation trend of elements like Si, Al, and Fe within a selective profile reveals that the variation in chemistry (i.e., pH) of solutions responsible for lateritization and drainage intensity are the two principal factors for formation of the ores. Geochemical considerations show that distribution of trace elements in this deposit is a function of factors such as adsorption, scavenging by metallic oxides and hydroxides, fixation in neomorphic phases, and presence in resistant mineral phases. Inharmonic distribution of REEs in the studied profile indicates an allogenic origin for this deposit. The obtained data indicate that clays, anatase, zircon, xenotime, gorceixite, and churchite are the potential hosts for REEs in this deposit.
