- Abstract:
- The forthcoming ODP Leg 193 to the Manus Basin provides a first opportunity to investigate the internal structure of an active hydrothermal system within a back arc setting. This is important, as back arc VMS deposits are the most analogous to those hosting the largest and richest volcanogenic polymetallic ore deposits in the ancient geological record. This proposal seeks to: 1) Constrain the fluid compositions responsible for wall-rock alteration, precipitation of vein materials and silicate-sulphide breccias. 2) Delineate the nature and extent of seawater entrainment within the sulphide mound. 3) Test for a magmatic contribution to the mineralising system. 4) Characterise the extent and nature of fluid rock interaction and fluid mixing within the mound. 5) Ultimately develop an understanding of the thermal structure and plumbing network of the mineralizing system.
