Abstract
Summary: The cobalt-arsenide ores of Bou Azzer are located along the borders of serpentinite massifs (Upper Proterozoic ophiolite complex) in carbonate-quartz lenses resulting from hydrothermal carbonate alteration of serpentinite. The cobalt ores contain an average gold content of 5–20 ppm; gold is mainly located in skutterudite (120 ppm av.), whereas the Fe-arsenide (loellingite) contains < 1 ppm Au. Similarly the highest PGE contents are found in skutterudite (up to 2 ppm total PGE). All the arsenide ores of Bou Azzer exhibit the same chondrite normalized PGE pattern displaying positive Rh and negative Pt anomalies, and a slight positive slope (Pd/Ir = 1 to 2). This uncommon PGE pattern closely resembles to that of sulphides of komatiites. In serpentinite, the PGE patterns are typical of slightly depleted mantle rocks, and the associated podiform chromitites are within the range of ophiolitic chromitites, except for Pd and Au enrichment. Horizons of sulphide-bearing serpentinites show relatively high contents of noble metals and display PGE patterns which closely resemble those of the Co-arsenide ores, although an order of magnitude lower. These sulphides probably correspond to the remobilization during serpentinization of primary magmatic sulphides. The sulphiderich horizons are a possible source-rock for the noble metals of the Bou Azzer cobaltarsenide ores.
