Variation of Cu, Fe, S and Pb isotopes in sulfides from hydrothermal mineralization from the Yenice region in Çanakkale, Biga Peninsula, NW Turkey

We report the iron (n = 13), copper sulfur 25) and lead 31) isotope compositions of mineralized samples from porphyry, skarn epithermal mineralization in Yenice region that lies east Biga Peninsula, Turkey. The vast majority isotopic data were analyzed world-class Arapuçandere Pb-Zn-Cu (Ag-Au) deposit is one best example intermediate sulfidation deposits within Serbo-Macedonian-Rhodope metallogenic belt northeastern Aegean. ?56Fe values range ?1.06 to + 0.46‰ reflect complex interplay between redox, Rayleigh kinetic effects. ?65Cu also define a narrow ranges ?0.07 +0.77‰ typical primary minerals magmatic-hydrothermal ore worldwide. Cu chalcopyrite tend progressively increase through surface, which creates vector proximal distal portions environment, possibly with local supergene processes deposit. sulfides have relatively ?34S ?4.0 3.9‰ mostly cluster around 0‰, indicating mainly derived magmatic source at time mineralization. All Pb includes results fall fields defined by Oligocene Miocene Aegean-West Anatolian rocks. This observation supports hypothesis metals contained all various styles considered here entirely these granitoids, no significant contamination basement constrains controlling Fe those operating skarn, hydrothermal systems, rather than interaction
