Resumo
The stratiform ferromanganese bodies in the Mesozoic chert formations of central Sikhote-Alin (Katen R., J3) and Nadanhada-Alin (Khuntseling settlement, J2–3), and the vein manganese deposit (Ktab) at the Glubinny settlement area (central Sikhote-Alin) are characterized for the first time. Jurassic primary ores occur as interlayers in clayey–siliceous units. They consist of grains and globules of Mn and Fe oxides of the psilomelane–pyrolusite group and goethite. The interlayers also contain the allogenic products of eroded sialic rocks (quartz, potassium feldspar, albite, kaolinite, muscovite, paragonite, illite, and zircon) and accessory ore minerals (monazite, sphalerite, galena, apatite, cassiterite, barite, pyrite, titanite, rutile, native silver, auricupride, cerianite, tetrahedrite, and intermetallic Cu5Zn3 and Ni7Cu4). In the vein ores, spessartine and rhodonite fill veinlets and form a matrix of tectonic breccia. Manganese oxides form crusts (up to 4 cm) on the Triassic chert lumps and blocks. They likely represent the products of oxidation and breakdown of former hydrothermal–metasomatic manganese carbonates and silicates in a supergene environment. In contrast to the manganese minerals from the stratiform ores, those of the vein ores do not contain Co, Ni, Zn, and Pb, which are involved in the sulfides and sulfoarsenides (Co-gersdorffite and Ni-cobaltite, smaltite, pentlandite, and other minerals). Magnetite; titanomagnetite; barite; chalcopyrite; pyrrhotite; galena; argentite; zircon; titanite; wollastonite; anhydrite; REE phosphates, silicates, and oxides; bismuthine; native Ag, W, Cu, Zn, and Ni; and intermetallic compounds (Cu5Zn3, (Pd, Pt)5Cu and Pd4Cu) are also recognized in the vein manganese ores.
