ABSTRACT
The main goal of this contribution is to docu-
ment the possible importance of post-colli-
sional lamprophyre intrusions for late-Var-
iscan ore mineralization in the Erzgebirge
(Germany and Czech Republic). Located at
the northwestern border of the Bohemian mas-
sif in the Internal Variscides, the Erzgebirge is
one of the most important silver, tin, tungsten,
uranium, lead, zinc, copper, indium, bismuth,
cobalt, and uorite ore deposit provinces in

Europe with a mining history of more than 800
years. Because of the close spatial association
between late-Variscan ore mineralization and
Permo-Carboniferous lamprophyric and rhy-
olitic intrusions the Erzgebirge is one of the
key localities to study the genetic relationship

from various ore districts of the Erzgebirge
were collected from underground and surface
outcrops, and drill cores. Shoshonitic/ultrapo-
tassic mac volcanics were collected in surface
outcrops of the Sub-Erzgebirge basin. Data
were obtained for petrographic-mineralogical
studies (n = 117), major, trace and rare earth el-
ement analyses (n = 115), Nd-Nd (n = 42), Sr-Sr
(n = 42), and Pb-Pb isotope analyses (n = 65).
Representative samples were dated using K/Ar
(n = 8), Ar/Ar (n = 7), Pb-Pb single zircon evap-
oration (n = 4), and U-Pb SHRIMP methods
(n = 2). Additionally, felsic (sub)volcanic rocks
of the Erzgebirge and the Sub-Erzgebirge ba-
sin were analyzed by geochemical (n = 21), and
radiogenic isotope methods (n = 17).
Most lamprophyric dikes (thickness from 0.5 -
30 m) occur in areas of crosscutting deep fault
11
zones which also act as conduits for post-col-
lisional rhyolitic intrusions and host postmag-
matic Sn-W-Mo, Ag-base metal, and U depos-
its. The lamprophyres in the Erzgebirge have
been divided into three main groups (LD1
- LD3) using criteria of petrography and geo-
chemistry, and relatively age relationships to
late-Variscan volcano-plutonic activity and
mineralization phases:
s ,$ LATE
stock granite age) transitional type
kersantitic/spessartitic lamprophyres;
they predate all epigenetic minerali-
zations in the Erzgebirge (or they are
unrelated to polymetallic mineralization
events in the Erzgebirge);
s ,$POST
stock granite age) mica-lamprophy-
res, that predate Sn-polymetallic and
Ag-base metal ore bodies;
s ,$ POST
kersantitic lamprophyres, that postdate
Sn-polymetallic mineralizations and
predate Ag-base metal ores.
The signicant petrographical, geochemi-
cal, and structural similarities between some
lamprophyres (especially subtypes LD2a and
LD2c) as well as (sub)volcanic rhyolitic intru-
sions in the Erzgebirge and the Stephanian-
Lower Rotliegend potassium-rich mac and
rhyolitic series in the Sub-Erzgebirge basin in-
dicate a genetic link of the lamprophyres with
bimodal magmatism in both areas with an age
range from 315 to 290 Ma. Regional extension
leading to lithospheric thinning, the develop-
ment of shear zones, the formation of fault-
controlled basins, and decompression melting
of updoming asthenosphere probably was an
important factor for the Permo-Carbonifer-
12
ous bimodal magmatism in the Erzgebirge and
Sub-Erzgebirge basin.
The high concentration of LILE (Cs, Rb, K,
Ba, Sr) and HFSE (Sc, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta, Ti, P, Th,
Y, LREE) and the enriched Nd and Sr isotope
composition of the lamprophyre intrusions and
associated volcanics in the Erzgebirge indicate
melting of a metasomatically enriched mantle.
The higher abundances of LILE, HFSE and
LREE of some lamprophyres (LD2-type) and
shoshonitic/ultrapotassic volcanics in the Sub-
Erzgebirge basin in comparison to the average
contents of calc-alkaline lamprophyres world-
wide (Rock, 1991) may be a function of smaller
degrees of partial melting, derivation from a
more extensively metasomatized mantle, or a
function of different uid compositions. High
concentrations of LILE and HFSE, and the

1. INTRODUCTION
The main goal of this paper is to show the
metallogenic importance of post-collisional
lamprophyre intrusions in relationship to late-
Variscan ore mineralization in the Erzgebirge
metallogenic province. Based on a worldwide
database of lamprophyres, N.M.S. Rock (1991,
p. 155) noted that ...lamprophyres are a miss-
ing element in the traditional granites + min-
eralization maxim which should no longer
be ignored; it may be at least as reasonable to
attribute certain components of mineralizing
uids to deep, mantle-derived, lamprophyric
melts as to shallower granitic magmatism ....
4HE TERM @,AMPROPHYR WAS INTRODUCED BY cause of the occurrence of thousands of old Sn-,
Gmbel (1874, 1879; from the Greek lampros =
glistening) to characterize certain mica-rich
dike rocks from NE Bavaria. The lampro-
phyres are a complex group of rocks that have
mineralogical similarities to some kimberlites
and lamproites (cf. Woolley et al., 1996). After
the new IUGS classication of igneous rocks
from Le Maitre et al. (2002) lamprophyres are
a distinctive group of rocks which are strongly
porphyritic in mac minerals, typically biotite/
phlogopite, amphiboles and pyroxenes, with
any feldspars being conned to the ground-
mass. They commonly occur as dikes or small
intrusions and often show signs of hydrother-
mal alteration.
In the European Variscides and other orogenic
belts several tin, base metal, and uranium oc-
currences are reported in the literature, where
lamprophyric magmatism is commonly in-
terposed in time between granitoid magma-
tism and later ore deposition (e.g., Leroy and
Sonet, 1976; Rock, 1991; Floyd et al., 1993;
Seifert, 1994a; temprok, 1995). The spatial
relationship between late-Variscan mineraliza-
13
tions and Permo-Carboniferous lamprophyric
dikes is common for old mining districts of
the Saxonian Erzgebirge in the south-eastern
part of East-Germany (this study) and the Bo-
hemian Krun hory located in the northern
most Czech Republic (Novk et al., 2001; this
study). This world-class metallogenetic prov-
ince is characterized by abundant small- to
large-scale tin, uranium, silver-rich base metal,
and Ag- and U-rich Bi-Co-Ni deposits, as well
as small- to medium-scale tungsten, molybde-
num, lithium, uorite, barite, and iron deposits
(cf. Baumann et al., 2000). Because of a min-
ing history that spans almost 800 years and be-
Ag-, Cu-, Fe-, and Co-mines and some large
U-, Sn-, Pb-Zn-Ag-, W-, uorite-, and barite-
mines, the Erzgebirge-Vogtland area is one of
the key localities to study the genesis and the
genetic relationships of different epigenetic
mineralization types and late-Variscan mag-
matic events in the Internal Variscides. The
close spatial association between late-Variscan
ore deposits and lamprophyres in the Erzge-
birge and other deposit districts of the Varis-
cides has led few workers to suggest that the
ore uids were mantle-derived (Losert, 1962;
Kramer and Rsler, 1976; Beuge and Kramer,
1977; Seifert 1997, 1999).
The Erzgebirge is a classic area for post-
magmatic Sn-W-Mo-Bi-Cu-Li-F greisen- and
vein-type deposits. Tin mining started in the
13th and 14th centuries AD, rst from placers
at Graupen, Ehrenfriedersdorf, Eibenstock,
Seiffen, and from 1440 also around the large
Altenberg Sn-greisen deposit. The Erzgebirge
developed into one of Europes largest tin
district where about 350,000 tons of tin metal
was produced from the 13th century to 1990
14 Th. Seifert
(Bolduan, 1972; Seifert, 1985; Baumann et al.,
2000; Th. Seifert and W. Schilka, unpublished
data, 2002). Since 1990 all tin mining activi-
ties were closed down although there are still
about 140 million tons of ore reserve with 0.16

to 0.25 % Sn (cf. Seifert, 1985; Th. Seifert and
W. Schilka, unpublished data 2002). For the
past decades there was a controversy discus-
sion about the genesis of granite-related Sn
deposits. The traditional model favored syn-
to late-collision granite magmatism caused by
orogene-related melting of the upper(?) crust
(e.g., Tischendorf, 1969, 1988; Lehmann, 1990).
In contrast the other model indicates mantle-
derived magmatism and associated high-tem-
perature uids as source for Sn-mineraliza-
tions with high F-, Li-, Rb-, Cs-, Nb-, Ta-, In-,
Sc-, and Th-contents (e.g., temprok, 1977;
Seifert and Kempe, 1994; Seifert, 1997). Based
on eld work, geochemical data, and age dat-
ing a genetic link between Sn-mineralization,
and A-type granitic and lamprophyric magma-
tism is favored by Seifert (2004). New data (pe-
trology, geochemistry, ages, spatial and time
relationship to mineralization) about the gene-
sis and metallogenetic importance of lampro-
phyre dikes in Sn(-W-Mo-Bi-Cu-Li)-deposits
of the Erzgebirge are presented in this study.
The late Variscan silver-base metal (polyme-
tallic sulde) vein-type deposits were mined
in different districts of the eastern Erzgebirge
(Freiberg), central Erzgebirge (Marienberg,
Annaberg, Hora Sv. Kateiny), and western
Erzgebirge (Johanngeorgenstadt, Schneeberg)
from the early Middle Ages to the 20th cen-
tury (Figure 2). One of the largest base metal
districts of Europe was located at Freiberg in
the eastern Erzgebirge with a production of
more than 5000 metric tons silver from the
end of the 12th century to the end of the 19th
century and small-scale copper, tin, and gold
mining (cf. Mller, 1850, 1901). From 1950 to
1969 about 95,000 metric tons lead, 59,000
metric tons zinc, and 251 metric tons silver as
well as germanium, indium, bismuth, gold, and
pyrite were produced as byproducts (unpub-
LISHEDDATAOFTHE@6%"!LBERT&UNKCOMPANY
Freiberg). Uranium exploration from the Rus-
SIAN
active from 1945 to 1950, and about 10 t U-met-
al were mined in the southern part of the dis-
trict (Seifert et al., 1996a). Since 1969 all base
metal and silver mining activities were closed
down although there are still reserves of about
4,868,500 tons of the polymetallic sulde ore-
type in the central and southern part of the
Freiberg district with 3.2 wt.% Pb, 4.5 wt.%
Zn, 1.7 wt.% As, and 72 g/t Ag (unpublished
DATAOFTHE@6%"!LBERT&UNKCOMPANY&REI
berg). The Marienberg Sn-Ag-Cu-U district
located in the central Erzgebirge shows similar
Ag-rich base metal veins with important sil-
ver, and copper and lesser Sn, Zn, Pb, and As
production from the Middle Ages to the end
of the 19th century (cf. Seifert, 1994a). About
700 tons silver, 5000 tons copper, and 3500 tons
tin were mined in the Marienberg district (cf.
Seifert, 1988; 1994a). In the last mining period
from 1946 to the end of the 1950s about 120
tons U-metal, and 41,500 tons uorite were
produced.
A structural relationship between hydrother-
mal uranium veins and lamprophyre dikes is
typical for the Erzgebirge (e.g., Marienberg dis-
trict in the central Erzgebirge; Seifert, 1994a;
Niederschlema-Alberoda district in the west-
ern Erzgebirge; Bder and Schuppan, 1992;
Seifert et al., 1996a). From 1946 to 1990 in
the whole Erzgebirge about 100,000 t U-metal
were mined (Seifert et al., 1996a). The worlds
largest hydrothermal uranium vein-type de-
posit district is located in the Schlema-Schnee-
berg U-Ag-district (western Erzgebirge). In
the Middle Ages this was one of the most im-
portant silver and cobalt districts in Europe.
From 1946 to 1990 in the Schlema-Schneeberg
district about 80.600 t U-metal were mined
(Seifert et al., 1996a). The initial uranium in-
 Introduction 15

put is associated with the late-Variscan ura-
nium-quartz-calcite vein-type mineralization
which is controlled by the intersection of the
NW-SE Gera-Jchymov deep fault zone and
the ENE-WSW Saxonian lineament, similar to
lamprophyric dike-intrusions (Schuppan et al.,
1994; Seifert et al., 1996a; this study). New geo-
chemical, isotope, and age data from various
districts of the Erzgebirge were obtained dur-
ing this study and allows for a reinterpretation
of the genesis of these districts and suggests a
metallogenic importance of lamprophyre dikes
in the development of polymetallic Ag-rich
base metal vein mineralization as well as tin
and uranium deposits.

2. GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND MAGMATIC EVENTS
The Erzgebirge is part of the metamorphic
basement of the internal Mid-European Var-
iscides (Saxo-Thuringian zone) on the North-
western border of the Bohemian Massif
(Fig. 1). The deepest structural level of the
Saxo-Thuringian zone is exposed in the Saxo-
nian Granulite Antiform and in the Erzgebirge
(Franke et al., 2000). These areas expose high
pressure metamorphic rocks, which are proba-
bly derived from the orogenic root to the south-
east and were included into the lower crust of
the northwestern foreland (cf. Franke, 2000).
The Erzgebirge constitutes a large antiformal
megastructure with a core of para- and orthog-
neisses and mica schists. The metamorphic
core complex is tectonically overlain and sur-
rounded by phyllitic units containing very low-
grade metamorphic rocks (Fig. 2). The age of
the peak metamorphism of the Gneiss-Eclog-
ite Unit in the Erzgebirge metamorphic core
complex was dated between 340 and 350 Ma
(Schmdicke et al., 1995; Willner et al., 1997).
A fast tectonic exhumation of the Erzgebirge
metamorphic core complex at about 340 to
325 Ma is postulated by Willner et al. (1997)
and Werner et al. (1997, 1998) based on min-
eralogical work and age dating. In contrast to
this extensional core complex model, Franke
and Stein (2000) propose that the Erzgebirge
Antiform is a late compressive feature. How-
ever, the assemblage of high pressure rocks
in the Erzgebirge is much more complex than
that of the Saxonian Granulitgebirge (Fig. 2).
The rocks in both areas have registered an im-
portant metamorphic event at ca. 340 Ma (cf.
Franke and Stein, 2000). According to these
authors the main difference between the two
areas lies in the much more complex tectonic
evolution of the Erzgebirge, which is probably
due to its more internal position in the Saxo-
Thuringian Belt. In this context it is important
17
to note that the Erzgebirge was affected by the
late early Carboniferous stacking, whereas the
exhumation geometry of the Saxonian granu-
lites remained more or less intact. This fact
is probably an important factor for the high
metallogenetic potential of the Erzgebirge (cf.
Baumann et al., 2000). Two conceptual models
of granulite emplacement (subduction erosion
model and injection model) are in agreement
with geophysical data (cf. Krawczyk et al.,
2000). The subduction erosion model is prob-
ably consistent only with interpretation that
suggests large volumes of HP granulites in
the crust down to the Moho (Krawczyk et al.,
2000). Ultramac bodies, identied as derived
from a hot mantle (Werner, 1981), are consist-
ently associated with HP granulites in the eld
and are suggested to continue towards depth
from the interpreted high densities and high
velocities in the crust. This would support a
mantle contact of the granulites on their path
which agrees with the interpretation of Krawc-
zyk et al. (2000) and a subduction erosion ori-
gin. After these authors the injection model
is compatible with both interpretations of the
geophysical constraints.
Post-convergent extension was probably ac-
companied by the removal of dense lithospher-
ic mantle through successive detachment(s) of
subducted oceanic crust, and/or the removal of
an orogenic root by thermal erosion or break-
off (cf. Timmermann, 2004, and references
therein). During these processes, part of the
lithospheric mantle may have been (partially)
replaced with asthenospheric material, result-
ing in a thinned lithosphere of lower average
density, uplift and exhumation. Slab break-off
or removal of a crustal root could account for
the very rapid uplift and preservation of the ul-
tra-high pressure granulites in the Erzgebirge
18
and Saxon Granulitgebirge (e.g., OBrien,

The late-Variscan ore deposits of the Erzge-
birge are spatially associated with Permo-
Carboniferous post-collisional felsic to mac
(sub)volcanic intrusions, especially in areas of
crosscutting deep-rooted orthogonal structures
Th. Seifert
(Seifert, 1994a; Seifert and Kempe, 1994; this
study). Extrusive and explosive F- and Sn-en-
riched rhyolitic and shoshonitic/ultrapotassic
volcanism in the Sub-Erzgebirge basin (SEB)
at the northern margin of the Erzgebirge An-
tiform was also related to the intersection
of deep-rooted fault zones (Fig. 2; Rank and
Plchen, 1989; Fischer, 1991; Seifert, 1994a,
Seifert and Baumann, 1994).

3. STUDY AREAS AND SELECTION CRITERIA
Four criteria were utilized to select the ore
districts of the Erzgebirge and the adjacent
Sub-Erzgebirge basin for this study: (1) the
relative timing of late-Variscan magmatic and
hydrothermal events had already been estab-
lished by eld relationships, and radiometric
or lithostratigraphic dating; (2) the complete
range in composition and petrography of late-
Variscan lamprophyric and granitic rocks is
represented; (3) lamprophyric intrusions most
closely spatially related to tin-greisen and vein-
type, silver-base metal vein-type, and uranium
vein-type deposits were selected; (4) lampro-
phyre samples that are least affected by hydro-
thermal alteration were obtained.
Using these criteria, lamprophyric dikes in the
most important ore districts of the Erzgebirge,
shoshonitic to ultrapotassic mac volcanics in
the Sub-Erzgebirge basin (MVSEB), and lam-
prophyres in the uranium district Ronneburg
19
(eastern Thuringia, Germany) were investi-
gated (Figures 1, 2; Tab. A1). For comparison
lamprophyric dikes in the silver-lead-zinc and
uranium vein-type deposits in the Pbram dis-
trict (Czech Republic) and the gold-antimony
deposit Krsn Hora (located in the central
Bohemian Pluton/Czech Republic; see Fig.
1B) as well as the silver-lead-zinc-copper dis-
trict Kokanee range (British Columbia), and
the gold-polymetallic district Rossland (Brit-
ish Columbia) were included. The new results
are combined with other modern analyses of
lamprophyres in the Erzgebirge (e.g., Seifert,
1994a; Kramer and Just, 1995; Kramer and
Seifert, 1994; Novk et al., 2001) and data of
lamprophyres with different geotectonic set-

4. MINERAL DEPOSITS
Several types of late-Variscan (Permo-Car-
boniferous) mineralization occur in the Erzge-
birge area (W-Mo, Sn-W-Mo-Bi-Cu-Li, sil-
ver-base metal, and uranium deposits; Fig. 3).
Tungsten-vein-type, Sn-greisen-, and Sn-
vein-type deposits in this region are located
adjacent to postkinematic granite intrusions
(Oelsner, 1952a; temprok, 1967; Tischendorf,
1969). Seifert and Kempe (1994) postulated
a genetic association between the Sn-W-Mo-
Bi-Cu-Li-F mineralization and F-enriched

volatile-enriched granitic melts intruded into
high- (e.g., Krupka, Seiffen, Annaberg, Ehren-
friedersdorf), and low-grade metamorphic
rocks (e.g., Mhlleithen) or into older postkin-
ematic granites and rhyolites (e.g., Gottesberg;
Fig. 2). According to Baumann et al. (2000)
the hydrothermal Ag-base metal vein-type
mineralization is hosted by gneisses (e.g.,
Freiberg, Marienberg, and Annaberg districts),
mica schists (e.g., Johanngeorgenstadt, and
Schwarzenberg districts), and subordinately
by postkinematic granites (e. g., Schneeberg
district). Hydrothermal uranium-pitchblende

meta-blackshales and meta-carbonates (e.g.,
Marienberg, Annaberg, Johanngeorgenstadt,
Schlema-Schneeberg, and Zobes districts),
and minor by postkinematic granites (e.g.,
Bergen deposit). These metamorphic and gra-
nitic host rocks were intruded by late-Variscan
lamprophyre dikes (Fig. 2, Tab. A1). The post-
Variscan (200 - 100 Ma?) vein-type mineraliza-
tion in the Erzgebirge (see Fig. 3) shows no in-
dications for an age relationship to the known
lamprophyre intrusions (cf. Seifert, 1994a; cf.
Baumann et al., 2000).
21
4.1. W-Mo Mineralization
The W-Mo vein-type mineralization occurs
only in the Western Erzgebirge and Vogtland
region (Oelsner, 1952a; Kurdjukov and Feirer,
1963; Baumann et al., 1964; Bolduan, 1964;
Bolduan et al., 1964; Schust, 1972). Typically
mineralizations consist of wolframite, molyb-
denite, and pyrite bearing quartz vein zones
(thickness of single vein: 0.3 - 1.8 m) associ-
ated with vein-like greisen zones (thickness of
mined area: up to 8 m). In contrast to the tin
ores the tungsten veins are characterized by
the absence of topaz, uorite, Li-mica, and cas-
siterite.
The following deposits were mined from 1907
to 1960:
(1) The tungsten deposits of Pechtelsgrn in
the Kirchberg granite (location see Fig. 2), and
the Rotava tungsten deposit (Bohemia) at the
SW borderline of the Nejdek-Eibenstock gran-
ite massif are hosted by late-Variscan granites;
(2) Small tungsten deposits in the Vogtland
and western Erzgebirge area occur in contact-
metamorphosed phyllites and metacarbonates
at the exocontact of postkinematic granites.
vein-type deposits of Tirpersdorf and Eich,
and the tungsten (scheelite) skarn deposit at
Zobes that are all located at the exocontact
of the Bergen granite. In the Schneeberg-Aue
area the tungsten deposit of Zschorlau is devel-
oped at the exocontact of the Gleesberg-Schle-
ma granite, whereas the Aue-Lauter tungsten
deposit is located at the exocontact of the Aue
granite.
Sm-Nd dating of wolframites from the tungsten
deposit Pechtelsgrn (287 24 Ma; Kempe
and Belyatsky, 1994) as well as K-Ar dating

290 Ma, n = 3; Rsler and Pilot, 1967) indicate
that the mineralization is signicant younger
than the intrusion age of the Kirchberg gran-
ite (330 5 Ma; Kempe, 2003) that hosts the
mineralization. This is in contrast to earlier
work (e.g., Baumann et al., 1964; Herrmann,
1967; Tischendorf, 1989), but indicates that the
main intrusion stage of the Kirchberg granite is
not genetically related to the tungsten deposit
formation. In comparison with other W and Sn
deposits in the Erzgebirge (Seifert and Kempe,
1994) it is more likely that the W-Mo minerali-
zation stage is associated with a younger gra-

4.2.1. Mineralization stages
Three metasomatic substages of the Sn-W as-
sociation can be distinguished (Bolduan, 1972;
Khne et al., 1972; Seltmann, 1984; Seifert,
1994a; Seifert and Kempe, 1994; Jung and Seif-
ert, 1996):
(1) Li-mica-bearing Sn-greisen with quartz,
topaz, zinnwaldite or protolithionite, uorite,
apatite, cassiterite, wolframite, arsenopyrite,
molybdenite, hematite, and lesser contents of
native bismuth, and bismuthinite (Altenberg,
Cnovec, Krupka, Pobershau-southwestern

(2) Muscovite-bearing Sn-greisen with
quartz, muscovite, topaz, uorite, tourmaline,
cassiterite, wolframite, arsenopyrite (Gottes-
berg-Mhlleithen);
(3) Chlorite- and sulde-bearing Sn-greisen
with chlorite, uorite, topaz, quartz, cassiter-
ite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite
(Sadisdorf, Seiffen-Hora Sv. Kateiny, Marien-

district).
4.2.2. Age of mineralization
The age of tin deposition in the Erzgebirge was
rst determined by Rsler and Pilot (1967) us-
ing the K-Ar method on greisen and stock-
scheider micas. Greisen and greisenized stock-
scheider samples showed mean ages between
304 and 290 Ma. (Sn-Mo deposit Altenberg,
290 Ma, n = 2; Sn-Cu-Mo deposit Sadisdorf,
304 and 290 Ma; Sn-W deposit Ehrenfried-
ersdorf, mean age of 296 Ma, 318 - 274 Ma,
n = 10). Preliminary Re-Os dating of molybden-
ite from the Sn-Mo greisen deposit at Altenberg
shows an age of about 307 Ma (Th. Seifert and R.

4.3.2. Age of mineralization
The age of silver-base metal veins is difcult
to establish because of the scarcity of suit-
able material. K-Ar dating of sericites from

5. METHODS
Lamprophyre dikes in the Erzgebirge were
collected from underground and surface out-
crops, and drill cores (Tab. A2). Mac volcan-
ics (MVSEB) were collected in surface out-
crops of the Sub-Erzgebirge basin. Data were
obtained for petrographic-mineralogical stud-
ies (n = 117), major, trace and rare earth ele-
ment analyses (n = 115), Nd-Nd (n = 42), Sr-Sr
(n = 42), and Pb-Pb isotope analyses (n = 65).
Representative samples were dated by K/Ar
(n = 8), Ar/Ar (n = 7), Pb-Pb single zircon evap-
oration (n = 4), and U-Pb SHRIMP methods
(n = 2). Additionally, felsic (sub)volcanic rocks
of the Erzgebirge and Sub-Erzgebirge basin
(SEB) were analyzed by geochemical (n = 21),
and radiogenic isotope methods (n = 17).
5.1. Whole Rock and Mineral Geo-
chemistry
Mineral analyses of selected lamprophyres
were performed at the Technical University of
Freiberg using a JEOL JXA-8900R electron
microprobe with ve spectrometers. Major and
minor elements were determined at 15 kV ac-
celeration voltage and a beam current of 20 nA
with counting times 20-30 s depending on the
element. The standard sets of the Smithsonian
Institute (cf. Jarosewich et al., 1980) were used
for reference. Selected microprobe analyses of
representative lamprophyre micas and apatites
are listed in Tables A3 to A6. The entire da-
taset will be available in a further publication.
Major, trace, and rare earth elements were
commercially analyzed at the Actlabs Ltd.
(Canada) and at the Schsisches Landesamt
fr Umwelt und Geologie (Germany) using
a combination of XRF, ICP-OES, ICP-MS,
INAA, gravimetric, infrared-spectroscopic,
29
ionic-sensitive electrode, and FIMS methods.
Representative analyses are listed in Tables A7
and A8.
5.2. Radiogenic Isotopes
Strontium, neodymium, and lead isotopic
composition was analyzed at the GeoFor-
schungsZentrum (GFZ) Potsdam (Germany)
and the Institute of Precambrian Geology and
Geochronology, Russian Academy of Sciences
(IPGG), St. Petersburg (Russia). At the GFZ
Potsdam the Sr, Nd, and Pb were measured on
whole-rock powders that are dissolved using 5:1
HF-HNO3 in Teon vessels on the heating plate
for three days. After drying the residue was
dissolved in 6N HCl and splitted in one sample
for Pb and the other one for Sr and Nd isotopic
determinations. Lead and uranium were sepa-
rated using cation exchange resin Biorad AG
1-X8. Pb and U were loaded on separate single
Re laments using silicate gel as an emitter of
Gerstenberger and Haase (1997) and analyzed
with a Finnigan MAT 262 mass spectrometer.
Mass fractionation of 0.1 % amu (atomic mass
unit) was detected from repeated measurement
of Pb reference material SRM 981. Initial Pb
isotopic ratios were calculated using Pb and
U values by isotope dilution and Th contents
determined by ICP-MS. Rubidium, strontium,
and REE fractions were separated using cation
exchange resin Biorad AG50W. Neodymium
and samarium were separated from the REE
fraction with HDEHP-coated Teon powder.
Strontium and rubidium were analyzed on sin-
gle Ta lament using a VG Sector 54-30 mass
spectrometer operated in the dynamic mode
for Sr and in static mode for Rb. All Strontium
ratios were normalized to 86Sr/88Sr = 0.1194.
30 Th. Seifert
The SRM 987 standard yielded an average
87
Sr/86Sr value of 0.710246 5 (n = 20). Repeat-
ed measurement of natural Rb gave a mass frac-
tionation of 0.995 for 85Rb/87Rb. The Nd and
Sm isotopic composition was measured using
a Re double-lament procedure on a Finnigan
MAT 262 mass spectrometer operated in dy-
namic mode for Nd of unspiked samples and in
the static mode for Nd and Sm from spiked sam-
ples. Nd was normalized using 146Nd/144Nd ratio
of 0.7219; Sm was normalized using 147Sm/152Sm
ratio of 0.5608. Repeated analysis of La Jolla
Nd standard gave 143Nd/144Nd = 0.511855 4
(n = 20). Initial Sr and Nd isotopic ratios were
calculated with Rb/Sr and Sm/Nd ratios deter-
mined by isotope dilution. The measurement
of laboratory procedure blank samples gave
values of 30 pg for lead of whole rock samples
respectively of 15 pg for lead of mineral sam-
ples, 1 pg for uranium, 50 pg for strontium and
50 pg for neodymium.
Additional isotopic compositions of lampro-
phyres were measured at the IPGG, St. Peters-
burg (Russia) on a Finnigan MAT 261 mass
spectrometer. Separation of Pb and U was
achieved using an anion exchange resin in HBr
following the chemical procedure from Manton
(1988). Blank levels during the analytical work
were under 0.5 ng for Pb and under 0.05 ng for
U. The isotope analyses of lead were carried
out with a silicate emitter. All data has been
corrected using the mass discrimination of
0.0013 0.0003 % per amu (atomic mass unit)
determined by measurements of the standard
NBS SRM 982. The mean values of the NBS
982 were 206Pb/204Pb = 36.643, 207Pb/204Pb =
17.092, and 208Pb/204Pb = 36.551. The internal
reproduction of the standard was 0.03 %,
within-run precision was 0.006 - 0.008 %.
The determination of the BCR-1 standard
gave the following results: 206Pb/204Pb = 18.815,
207
Pb/204Pb = 15.638, 208Pb/204Pb = 38.732,
[Pb] = 13.396 ppm, [U] = 1.703 ppm (means of
eight runs). Chemical preparation for Sr and
Nd isotopes and element separation were done
using standard ion exchange and reverse chro-
matograph procedures similar to Richard et al.
(1976). Error estimations on 147Sm/144Nd and
143
Nd/144Nd are 0.1% and 0.003%, respec-
tively, and 0.5% and 0.005% for 87Rb/86Sr
and 87Sr/86Sr, respectively. During the analyti-
cal work the weighted mean of 10 La Jolla Nd
standard runs yielded 143Nd/144Nd = 0.511883 4
(2), using 0.241570 for 148Nd/144Nd to nor-
malize, and for NBS-987 Sr standard yielded
0.710255 15 (2), using 8.375210 for 88Sr/86Sr
to normalize. Total procedural blanks for Nd,
Sm, Rb and Sr are 0.05 ng, 0.01 ng, 0.01 ng and
0.1 ng, respectively. All isotopic analyses were
carried out on the Finnigan MAT-261 solid
source machine under multicollector static
mode. The radiogenic isotope data are listed in

For this geochronological study, K-Ar and
40
Ar-39Ar analyses were carried out on phlogo-
pites separates from various lamprophyres
(Tab. A2). The micas were separated by con-
ventional heavy-liquid, magnetic and hand
separation techniques to greater than 99 %
purity. K-Ar analyses have been performed at
the IPGG, St. Petersburg (Russia). Phlogopite

Ar isotope concentration was measured by
total-fusion isotope-dilution techniques on
a MAT CH4 mass spectrometer. Mean-stan-
dard deviation (2 sigma) of radiogenic argon is
about 0.3 %, of potassium about 0.7 %. IUGS-
recommended constants (Steiger and Jger,

phyre ages are listed in Table A15. Phlogopite
fractions for 40Ar-39Ar analyses were placed in
the core of the US Geological Survey TRIGA
reactor in Denver, Colorado. After a 1-month
decay period, the samples and standards were
#
heated in an internal resistance furnace, and
released argon was processed through an ultra-
high vacuum extraction system, analyzed on an
MAP215 rare-gas mass spectrometer. Details
of the procedure are available in Snee (2002).
Samples were heated in progressively higher
temperature increments for 20 min, each up to
a temperature of 1,350 C. Standards (MMhb-1
hornblende: Samson and Alexander 1987, with
an age and error, including decay constant er-
ror, of 523.1 4.6 Ma, Renne et al., 1998) were
degassed in a single heating step at 1,300 C or
1,400 C. Masses 40, 39, 38, 37 and 36 were ana-
lyzed and the data were collected and reduced
online. Mass discrimination and atmospheric
argon corrections were made by measuring the
40
Ar/36Ar ratio of atmospheric argon which was
admitted to the system via an air pipette.

Vapor-transfer method (VTM): Measurements
according to vapor-transfer-method (VTM) or
vapor-digestion technique (VDT) were carried
out at the Max-Planck-Institut fr Chemie in
Mainz, Germany. This method is described
in detail by Krogh (1978). Fifteen morpho-

spiked with a 205Pb/233U-spike were dissolved
(digested) by heating to about 200 C in HF
vapor up to 5 days - depending on U content.
This method requires no chemical separa-
tion of Pb and U which reduces the blank for
U and Pb. The interpretation of the resulting
ages is more convincing because of better se-
lection of the zircons. Isotopic ratios from U
were measured at higher temperatures (around
1500 C) after collecting Pb isotopic ratios (at
around 1300 C) from the same Re-lament.
Pb blank was below 60 pg. The measured ratios
were corrected for fractionation, Pb blank and
common Pb, using the ratios of common Pb of
Stacey and Kramers (1975) for an age of 350
Ma. Reproducibility and precision are assured
by repeated measurements of NBS and inter-
nal lab-standards.

of fractionation effects, the obtained values
were checked by determining the 207Pb/206Pb
ages of standard zircons. Repeated analysis of

reported data (Tichomirowa et al., 2001). The
evaporation method generally produces ages
that are in good agreement with independently
determined ages - even from highly discor-

6. FIELD GEOLOGY AND PETROGRAPHIC
CHARACTERISTIC OF LAMPROPHYRES
6.1. Field Geology
During this work lamprophyre dikes were sys-
tematically mapped in old mining areas of the
Erzgebirge. Various sample collections and
archive material was also included. The most
common late-Variscan basic to intermediate
igneous rocks in the Erzgebirge are dark-grey
to black and greenish dark-grey lamprophyric
dikes, respectively. A few are exposed at the
surface and in drill holes, but most samples
are known from underground mapping (Table
A1, Plate I). Generally, steep-dipping lampro-
phyric dike-swarms are controlled by deep
NW-SE to N-S and NE-SW to ENE-WSW
fault zones, and occur in the entire Erzgebirge-
Fichtelgebirge anticlinorium (Kramer 1974,
1976a, b; Seifert 1994a, 1999). Dikes and sills
are typically 0.5 5 m wide, rarely exceeding
30 m. Most lamprophyric dikes occur in areas
of crosscutting deep fault zones, which is coin-
cident with the location of the most important
tin, Ag-base metal, and uranium deposits (Fig-
ures 1, 2).
6.2. Petrographic Types and Relatively
Ages
The lamprophyric intrusions in the Erzgebirge
have been divided into three main groups us-
ing criteria of petrography and geochemistry,
and relatively age relationships to late-Varis-
can (Permo-Carboniferous) volcano-plutonic
activity and mineralization phases (see Fig. 2;
Tables A1, A2).
The characteristic texture of the lamprophyres
is richly porphyric, with a ne-grained grey-
black groundmass. The contact between the
35
lamprophyre dikes and host rocks is always
sharp and c. 2 20 mm chilled margins are of-
ten present. The most lamprophyres are charac-
terized by early-magmatic (micro)phenocrysts
of Mg-biotites and phlogopites with typical
ZONATIONSEECHAPTER@#OMPOSITIONAND0ARA-
genesis of Magmatic Mica and Apatite) and/or
amphibole (micro)phenocrysts. They mostly
contain clinopyroxene (diopside, augite) and,
locally, olivine. Olivine may enclose Cr-spinel,
but is often pseudomorphosed of secondary
carbonate, chlorite, amphibole, and talc. Chro-
mite in a spessartite from Krupka shows a
ZnO content of ~5 wt.% (cf. Pivec et al., 2002).
Mica-minettes (LD2a) have higher modal
abundances of alkali feldspar, phlogopite and
apatite than the other lamprophyre types. This
characterization is similar to mac volcanics
of the Sub-Erzgebirge basin (MVSEB). Fluor-
apatite is the most common accessory mineral
in the Erzgebirge lamprophyres and MVSEB
SEE CHAPTER @#OMPOSITION AND 0ARAGENESIS OF
Magmatic Mica and Apatite; cf. Pivec et al.,
2002). Sphen is also a common accessory.
High amounts of ore minerals (pyrite, arse-
nopyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena, cas-
siterite, scheelite, molybdenite) as well as to-
paz, Li-mica and partly uorite and carbonates
are products of post-magmatic greisenization
and hydrothermal alteration (this study; Th.
Seifert and C. Franz, unpublished material,
2001; Novk et al., 2001).
Carbonates are abundant in the most studied
lampropyhres, reecting high whole rock CO2.
They may occur: (a) in the groundmass, (b)
in globular structures, (c) as pseudomorphs
after olivine and other minerals, (d) late mi-

Variscan magmatism and Sn(-W) mineralization in the Mhlleithen-Gottesberg district
started with the main stage of the Eibenstock granite intrusion (325/322 Ma). The
Eibenstock granite was intruded by mica-minette dikes (320/316 Ma). The emplace-
ment of the lamprophyres were followed by an extreme volatile-enriched (sub)volcanic
felsic intrusion associated with explosive breccias pipes (e.g., Schneckenstein locality).
Associated with the explosive brecciation are pre- to early syn-greisen (sub)volcanic
microgranitic/rhyolitic dikes (312 Ma) with A-type afnity. The main stage of Sn(-W)
mineralization is younger than the lamprophyres, explosive breccia pipes, and
microgranitic/rhyolitic dikes.

7. GEOCHEMISTRY AND MAGMATIC EVOLUTION
OF CA-LAMPROPHYRES AND MAFIC VOLCANICS
IN THE SUB-ERZGEBIRGE BASIN
7.1. Whole Rock and Trace Element
Characteristics
Whole-rock major and trace element compo-
sitions for selected lamprophyre dikes in the
Erzgebirge and areas selected for comparison
(Ronneburg district, selected districts in the
central Bohemian massif and in Canada), and
for mac volcanics in the Sub-Erzgebirge basin
(MVSEB) are presented in Table A7. Addition-
ally, representative silicic (sub)volcanic rocks
from the Erzgebirge and the Sub-Erzgebirge
basin were included (Tab. A8). In the TAS dia-
gram (Fig. 27) LD2a-type lamprophyres (mi-
ca-minettes) cover a wide range of Na2O+K 2O
(2.1 - 10.5 wt.%), and SiO2 compositions (46.5 -
56.9 wt.%) within the Erzgebirge lamprophyres
from potassic trachybasalts, shoshonites and
phonotephrites to latites and overlap the eld
of mac volcanics in the Sub-Erzgebirge ba-
sin. The majority of LD2a-type lamprophyres
plot in the eld of alkaline magma series.
LD2c-type lamprophyres show a wide range
of composition from basaltic andesites to la-
tites but no clear distinction between subalka-
line and alkaline magma series (Fig. 27). Most
LD2c-type lamprophyres from the U deposit
.IEDERSCHLEMA SHAFT  SHOW SIGNIlCANT prophyres lie close to the cocite average from
enrichments of SiO2 (52.5 - 57.5 wt.%) similar
to LD1-type lamprophyres in the Sn district
Ehrenfriedersdorf (54.2 - 58.4 wt.%). Both
suites are characterized by the assimilation
of quartz from metamorphic and granitic host
rocks, respectively. The composition of LD2e-
type lamprophyres plot in the TAS diagram bet-
ween LD2a-type lamprophyres and MVSEB
59
as well as LD1- and LD2c-type lamprophyres.
Geochemically the LD2a-type lamprophyres
(mica-minettes) show a typically ultrapotassic
composition similar to the majority of MVSEB
and the highlighted LD2c-type lamprophyres
of the U-deposit Niederschlema (Fig. 28). It is
important to note, that ultrapotassic signatures
ARETYPICALLYFORSOCALLEDCOCITES@TRANSITIONAL
lamproites (cf. Rock, 1991). The LD1-, LD2e-,
LD3-, and the majority of LD2c-type lampro-
phyres show signicant lower K 2O concentra-
tions and lie within the shoshonite, high-K ba-
salt, banakite, and andesite elds. Because of
high contents of quartz-xenocrysts some of the
LD1- and LD2c-type lamprophyres represent
in the TAS diagram (Fig. 27) not the prima-
ry composition. In agreement with data from
Rock (1991) Figure 28 shows that CAL (espe-
cially minettes) reach far higher K 2O contents
than shoshonitic rocks.
Scatter diagrams show moderate to clear trends
for lamprophyres and MVSEB (Fig. 29). SiO2
and Al 2O3 display a negative correlation with
MgO, whereas Fe2O3 and CaO increase with
increasing MgO. In the K 2O and P 2O5 versus
MgO diagrams the majority of LD2a-type lam-
Rock (1991) (Fig. 29 F, H). The MVSEB are
characterized by very high P 2O5 and relatively
low Mg concentrations, which is in agreement
with high apatite and low phlogopite contents.
The Erzgebirge lamprophyres and MVSEB
are typically characterized by low to mode-
rate TiO2 and moderate to extremely high K 2O
contents (Fig. 30). Non-micaceous kimberlites
60 Th. Seifert
(Smith et al., 1985) exhibit the inverse relation-
ship (Fig. 30). However, the K 2O versus TiO2
ratios of the majority of Erzgebirge lampro-
phyres and MVSEB show signicant similari-
ties to orangeites. Feldspar-phyric kersantites
(LD3-type lamprophyres) are typically charac-
terized by moderate to high K 2O and relatively
high TiO2 contents. Selected high-Ti, low-K
LD2d- and LD2f-type lamprophyres suggest
similar TiO2 and K 2O compositions relative
to non-micaceous kimberlites (Fig. 30). Sig-
nicant high Ti concentrations are related to
Ti-bearing phlogopites and high-Ti amphi-
boles (cf. Rock, 1991; this study). In general, the
Erzgebirge lamprophyres and MVSEB show a
remarkably wide range in their major element
composition (Tab. A9, Figures 27 to 30) as a
consequence of differentiation and modal vari-
ations in their macrocrystal and primary mi-
neral contents (cf. Rock, 1991; this study).
The majority of lamprophyres differ sig-
nicantly in Nb contents relative to those of
alkaline lamprophyres and ultramac lam-
prophyres averages as well as orangeites and
non-micaceous kimberlites (Fig. 31). The Nb
versus TiO2 composition of LD3-type lampro-
phyres and MVSEB overlap the cocite average.

extremely high Nb (194 ppm) and Ti concen-

(see also Fig. 30). The LD2a-type lamprophyre
7(
 HAS A SIGNIlCANT HIGH .B  PPM 0.96, n = 7), however, Co often resides in oli-
and a moderate Ti content (1.39 wt.%) which is
typically for orangeites.
First-period transitional elements may be con-
sidered compatible trace elements in lampro-
phyres as they substitute for Fe and Mg in the
early crystallizing primary phases: olivine (Ni,
Co, Sc), phlogopite (Sc, Cr), spinel (Cr, V, Sc,
Co, Zn), and pyroxene (Sc, Cr) (cf. Rock, 1991;
Mitchell 1995). Figure 32 shows that the Erzge-
birge lamprophyres and MVSEB represent
primary CAL magmas. Chromium correlates
positively with Ni (r = 0.84, n = 88) and Mg
(r = 0.82). This is in agreement with observations
of intergrowths of olivine (micro)phenocrysts
and Cr-spinel in CAL (cf. Rock, 1991) and
groundmass magnesio-chromites in orangeites
(cf. Mitchell, 1995). Phlogopite-bearing lam-
proites cannot be distinguished from minettes
worldwide (cf. Mitchell and Bergman, 1991),
averages of CAL, UML, and cocites (cf. Rock,
1991), and the majority of studied lampro-
phyres on the basis of their Cr and Ni concen-
trations (Fig. 32). Very high Ni and Cr concen-
trations in several LD2-type lamprophyres (up
to 470 ppm Ni, up to 690 ppm Cr; Tables A7,
A9) suggest an afnity to olivine lamproites.
Orangeites, which represent strongly mantle
metasomatized magmas (cf. Mitchell 1995),
have signicant higher Cr and Ni contents than
lamprophyres and phlogopite lamproites, and
overlap the highest values found in olivine lam-
proites. Subduction-related Roman province
type (RPT) lavas, as represented by Vulsini
(Holm et al., 1982) and Sabatini (Cundrai,
1979), show signicantly lower Cr and Ni con-
tents relative to primary CAL magmas. The
Co concentration of Erzgebirge lamprophyres
and MVSEB has a wide range from 5 ppm up
prophyres show a signicant correlation to Cr
(r = 0.79, n = 23), Ni (r = 0.81), V (r = 0.84),
and Sc (r = 0.88). Cobalt and V in LD2d-type
lamprophyres behave strongly coherently (r =
vine and chromite (cf. Rock, 1991; cf. Mitchell
and Bergman, 1991). Olivine lamproites (31 -
97 ppm) and orangeites (54 - 112 ppm) are rela-
tively enriched in Co, whereas phlogopite lam-
proites (10 - 61 ppm), minettes (Navajo: 26 - 76
ppm, Colima: 18 - 28 ppm, France: 14 - 36 ppm,
Northern England: 25 - 50 ppm), and RPT la-
vas (5 - 62 ppm) are low (typically <50 ppm)
(cf. Rock, 1991; Mitchell and Bergman, 1991;
Mitchell, 1995). A suite of lamprophyres is
characterized by Ni concentrations (<90 ppm)
 Geochemistry and Magmatic Evolution of CA-Lamprophyres and
Mafic Volcanics in the Sub-Erzgebirge Basin
below the primary CAL magma composition
and a wide range of Cr contents from 26 up to
580 ppm (Fig. 32). Similar to this study, olivine
in many previously described lamprophyres
(cf. Rock, 1991) exists only as relicts, suggest-
ing that the Ni and Co values (Tables A7 and
A9) are minimum values.
In common mantle-derived magmas the LILE
(Cs, Rb, Ba) and HFSE (Th, Nb, LREE, Hf,
Zr) may behave as incompatible elements
throughout most of their crystallization his-
tory. In the case of magmas of extreme com-
position (e.g., lamprophyres, lamproites, and
kimberlites) early-forming liquidus phases in-
clude many minerals, which have trace element
solid/liquid distribution coefcients greater
than zero, e.g., REE, F, and Sr in apatite or Rb,
Ba, F, and Cs in phlogopite (cf. Rock, 1991; cf.
Mitchell, 1995). In this instance the LILE and
HFSE are compatible and their abundances
may be signicantly affected by crystal-liquid
fractionation and/or crystal accumulation.
The Ba (290 - 5,020 ppm) and Sr contents (18 -
2,030 ppm) of Erzgebirge lamprophyres and
MVESB vary widely (Tab. A9) and are mode-
rately correlated (r = 0.66, n = 88). Barium is
hosted primarily by phlogopite and apatite,
and to a lesser extent by K-feldspar, late-stage
carbonates, and amphibole (cf. Rock, 1991;
this study). Strontium is hosted primarily by
apatite, K-feldspar, and late-stage carbon-
ates (cf. Rock, 1991; this study). Typically
for LD2a- and LD2c-type lamprophyres are
signicant high Ba and moderate to high Sr
concentrations relative to LD1-, LD2e-, and
LD3-type lamprophyres which suggest an af-
nity to the composition of cocite average (Fig.
33). The majority of LD2-type lamprophyres
overlap the composition of minettes and the
low-Ba suite in the lamproite eld. Similar Ba
and extremely high Sr concentrations (up to
3,080 ppm) relative to the LD2-type rocks are
reported from the Colima minettes (Luhr and
61
Carmichael, 1981). Extremely high Ba abun-
dances (up to 5,000 ppm) are described from
peralkaline minettes in the central Bohemian
massif by N mec (1987). Roman Province type
(RPT) lavas show a wide range of Ba and Sr
abundances with moderate to extremely high Sr
and lower Ba concentrations relative to the ma-
jority of LD2-type lamprophyres and minettes
worldwide (Fig. 33). However, the composition
of Linhaisai and Amiata minettes (Van Bergen
et al., 1983; cf. Bergman et al., 1988), which are
discussed in relationship to subduction proc-
esses, overlap the eld of RPT lavas. In gen-
eral, average Ba and Sr concentrations are
lower in minettes and kersantites than those
found in lamproites (Ba: 1,000 - 41,000 ppm,
Sr: 380 - 4,900 ppm) and orangeites (Ba: 300
- 16,300 ppm, Sr: 410 - 6,590 ppm) (cf. Rock,
1991; Mitchell and Bergman, 1991; Mitchell,
1995; this study).
The Zr (127 - 1,070 ppm) and Nb concentra-
tions (8 - 194 ppm) in Erzgebirge lamprophyres
and MVSEB vary widely (Tab. A9). There is a
moderate correlation (r = 0.47, n = 88) between
Nb and Zr. Niobium and Ta behave mod-
erately coherently (r = 0.79), which suggests
similarities to the composition of orangeites
and lamproites. Niobium and Ta are concen-
trated in the groundmass of orangeites where
they substitute for Ti in late-stage rutile, Mn-
ilmenite, and hollandite (cf. Mitchell, 1995).
Niobium in lamproites is mainly hosted by
perovskite and to a lesser degree by priderite
and titanosilicates (cf. Mitchell and Bergman,
1991). However, transitional metal silicates
such as baotite (Ba4Ti7 NbSi4O28Cl), have been
REPORTED IN SOME @HYPERPOTASSIC MINETTES
(Nmec, 1988), which appear to be transitional
to lamproites (cf. Rock, 1991). The majority of
Erzgebirge lamprophyres and MVSEB show
high to extremely high Zr (up to 1,070 ppm)
and moderate to extremely high (up to 194
ppm) Nb concentrations (Tables A7, A9) rela-
tive to the CAL average (Fig. 34). Most LD2a-
62 Th. Seifert
type lamprophyre dikes show high Zr and Nb
concentrations comparable to concentrations
reported for cocites and Linhaisai minettes,
orangeites, and lamproites. LD2c-type lampro-
phyres are characterized by lower averages Zr
and Nb concentrations with a wide range of Zr
contents (Tab. A9). LD1-, LD2d-, and LD2e-
type lamprophyres have moderate to low Zr
and Nb concentrations relative to LD2a-type
lamprophyres and show similarities to the
composition of Amiata and Northern England
minettes (Fig. 34). The majority of LD3-type
lamprophyres (up to 46 ppm Nb) and MVSEB
(up to 52 ppm Nb) is characterized by elevated
Nb contents relative to the above mentioned
rock types and suggests similarities to the
composition of orangeites and low-Nb-Zr lam-
proites. Lamprophyres from the Rossland and
Kokanee districts (British Columbia) show
high Nb and relatively low Zr contents (Fig. 34;
see also Tab. A7).
Zirconium and Hf are positively correlated

ing Zr- and Hf-enriched Th-P-LREE minerals
in the groundmass. Furthermore, Zr is prob-
ably also occurs in Zr-silicates in the ground-
mass (e.g., wadeite; cf. Rock, 1991), apatite (cf.
Mitchell, 1995), and Zr-bearing titanite (Sei-
fert and Kramer, 2003). Elevated Hf concen-
trations, similar to the cocite average, are typi-
cal for LD2a- and LD2c-type lamprophyres
and MVSEB (Fig. 35). The majority of samples
analyzed in this study and the averages of dif-
ferent lamprophyre types (cf. Rock, 1991) fall
into the eld of orangeite composition, which
overlaps RPT lavas and Colima minettes. This
suggests that the Zr versus Hf ratios cannot be
used for a clear identication of geotectonic
settings. However, the coherent behavior of Zr
and Hf abundances in Figure 35 indicates that
these elements are highly incompatible in lam-
prophyres (cf. Rock, 1991; this study) and or-
angeites (cf. Mitchell, 1995) and their ratios are
unaffected by fractional crystallization or hy-
bridization. In consequence, Zr/Hf ratios may
reect those of the magma sources. Similar
ratios (Zr/Hf 30 - 50) in all lamprophyres im-
plicate that these elements are hosted by only
one phase in the mantle sources of parental
magmas. In this context it is important to note
that Zr/Hf ratios of lamprophyres (Fig. 35) are
similar to those of orangeites (22-55), kimber-
lites (36), alkali basalts (38), and the primitive
mantle (35) (cf. Bergman, 1987).
Nb/Th ratios of Erzgebirge lamprophyres and
MVSEB lie between 0.2 and 10 (Fig. 36). The
majority of LD2-type lamprophyres have low
Nb/Th ratios (0.2 - 1) and show high (LD2c-
type lamprophyres up to 58 ppm) to very high
Th concentrations (mica-minettes up to 94
ppm; Tab. A9). Extremely high Th contents

with 135 ppm Th). Figure 36 indicates that the
high-Th lamprophyres are similar in composi-
tion to subduction-related lamproites (Murcia-
Almeria) and RPT lavas, respectively. On the
other hand they show an afnity to the cocite
average. LD2c- and LD2d-type lamprophyres
have moderate to high Th contents relative
to the CAL average and plot into the elds of
Navajo and Northern England minettes, which
are overlapped by the composition of RPT la-
vas. The majority of LD1-type lamprophyres
is characterized by Nb/Th ratios between 0.5
and 1, and signicantly lower Th contents (<20
ppm) relative to the LD2a-type composition.
LD2e- and LD3-type lamprophyres show the
lowest Th concentrations of Erzgebirge lam-
prophyres (Tab. A9). The LD2e-type samples

position between the Linhaisai and Colima

lamprophyres is characterized by high Nb/Th

geites and lamproites. Their low Th and high

sition of MVSEB and Canadian mica-lampro-

different minettes as well as RPT lavas and or-

prophyre types can be distinguished by their
U and Th abundances (Tab. A9). Figure 37 in-
dicates that the majority of LD2a- and LD2c-

MVSEB show moderate Ce and very high P 2O5
concentrations, which indicate a similar com-
position relative to the non-micaceous kimber-
lites. Figure 38A illustrates the anomalously
high Ce (623 ppm) and P 2O5 contents (2.28

Moderate to extremely high Ce abundances
are reported from lamproites (270 - 1,700 ppm,
cf. Mitchell and Bergman, 1991).
Lamprophyres typically have high total rare
earth element (REE) abundances (Tab. A9)
and are characterized by signicant fractiona-
tion of light REE (HREE) relative to the
heavy REE (HREE) (Fig. 39). The REE are
concentrated in apatite, phlogopite/biotite,
zircon, and REE-bearing carbonates during
the later stages of crystallization of lampro-
phyres and associated volcanics (cf. Rock,

average. The majority of low-U, low-Th LD2e-
and LD3-type lamprophyres are overlapped
by the composition of Colima minettes. Most
LD1-type and MVSEB samples, and several
other lamprophyres are slightly enriched in U
and/or Th relative to the CAL, AL, and UML
averages and are overlapped by the eld of Lin-
haisai minettes, and partly by France minettes
and RPT lavas. Additionally, the U-Th compo-
sition of these samples indicates an afnity to
the CAL and UML averages.
Cerium and P 2O5 in the LDE and MVSEB are
not strongly correlated (r = 0.5), whereas Zr-
P 2O5 behave moderately coherently (r = 0.7).
LD2a- and LD2c-type lamprophyres, which
are characterized by enrichments in Ce, Zr,
transitional type kersantites/minettes (LD2a,
LD2c), and carbonate-rich amphibole lampro-
phyres (LD2f) from this study are also strongly
enriched in the LREE with abundances being
200 - 700 times those of chondrites average.
Figure 40 shows that in these lamprophyres the
LREE behave moderately coherently to Ba
(r = 0.52 - 0.72), Th (r = 0.42 - 0.86), P 2O5 (r =
0.52 - 0.75), and Zr (r = 0.36 - 0.67). Relative
to the CAL average the HREE are signicant
enriched in LD2b-, LD2f-, and LD3-type lam-
prophyres (Fig. 39). Consequently these sam-
ples have low La/Yb ratios (10 - 20), whereas
the majority of LD2a- and LD2c-type lampro-
phyres is characterized by signicantly higher
La/Yb ratios (40 - 90). Two groups of LD2a /

moderate to high LREE concentrations (Tab.

bution patterns, similar to those of LD2-type
lamprophyres (Fig. 43B).
Average abundances of hygromagmatophile
elements in lamprophyres normalized to deplet-
ed mantle abundances are compared in Figure
44. The distribution patterns of LD2a-, LD2c-,
and LD2f-type lamprophyres are in general
similar being characterized by signicant high
Ba, Th, U, La, Ce, Nd, Hf, and Zr anomalies.
The extremely high Cs and Rb content of LD1-
(Fig. 44A) and LD2-type lamprophyres in tin
deposits of the Erzgebirge (Figs. 44C to 44G)
does not represent a primary geochemical sig-
nature (cf. Fig. 47C, D). However, the majority
of LD2-type lamprophyres, which are not lo-
cated in tin deposits, show signicant elevated
Cs and Rb contents relative to the CAL aver-
age (cf. Figs. 44B to G). In Figure 44B samples
with indications for the inuence of greiseniza-
tion processes are excluded.
The depletion of Ta, Nb, and Ti of selected
lamprophyre types in this study (Tables A7,
A9) and CAL worldwide (cf. Rock, 1991) is
similar to that described in lamproites (cf.
Mitchell and Bergman, 1991) and island arc
lavas (Green, 1980; Arculus and Johnson,
1981). It has been inferred by Rock (1991) and
Nelson et al. (1986, 1988), that the presence of
this geochemical feature in lamprophyres and
lamproites indicates that subduction processes
have played some role in generation of these
magma types. Signicant depletion in Nb and
Ti in RPT lavas, which are associated with
plate convergence magmatism, reinforces this
lo and Manetti, 1985).
The common observation of negative Ta-Nb-
RPT lavas indicates that their mantle sources
have very different mineralogical character-
istics from those of orangeites (cf. Mitchell,
1995). An alternative explanation for the Ta,
Nb, and Ti anomalies requires that a Ti-rich
phase, not formed by subduction processes,
remains in the mantle source regions of the
magmas (cf. Mitchell and Bergman, 1991). K-
Ba-REE-rich titanates, which may be metaso-
matically introduced components of the source
rocks, could upon breakdown during partial
melting give rutile as a residual phase. Reten-
tion of Ta and Nb in this phase would result
in depletion of these elements and Ti in the
derivative magmas. This hypothesis is more at-
tractive for provinces, which cannot easily be
related to either ancient or modern subduction
(cf. Mitchell and Bergman, 1991).
The trace element averages of LD2-type lam-
prophyres dene a trend of depleted mantle-
normalized signatures between the CAL and
cocite averages (Fig. 45A). This Figure sug-
gests that Colima and NW Colorado minettes
have signicant lower Cs, Th, and U concen-
trations and higher Sr contents relative to the
LD2-type average. Figure 45B shows that the
averages of MVSEB have similar distribution

tometasomatically replacement of K-feldspars
by REE-rich carbonates.
The high F content of lamprophyre micas and
apatites, and the minor occurrence of uorite
(cf. Rock, 1991; this study) results in whole
rocks having high F contents (Tab. A9, Fig.
46A). These F contents are in general higher
than those found in continental and oceanic
basalts (typically less than 1,000 ppm; Aoki
et al., 1981; Sun and McDonough, 1989), al-
though the absence of phlogopite in the latter
makes direct comparison difcult. The high to
extremely high F concentrations of MVSEB
are mainly associated with the occurrence of
magmatic uorite and F-apatite. The extremly
high F contents of LD1-type lamprophyres
and selected LD2a-type lamprophyre samples
from Sn deposits reect the inuence of Sn-W-
Mo-Bi-Cu-Li-F mineralization (see Fig. 47).
However, the presence of F-phlogopite must
signify a real enrichment of uorine in lampro-
phyre (cf. Rock, 1991; this study), lamproite (cf.
Mitchell and Bergman, 1991), and orangeite
magmas (cf. Mitchell, 1995). The majority of
Erzgebirge lamprophyres has signicant high
Cl concentrations relative to the CAL average
(Fig. 46A). Chlorine is hosted by phlogopite/
lamprophyres in comparison to different lam-
prophyres (CAL, AL, UML), kimberlites,
and lamproites. These diagrams indicate that
contents relative to the CAL average.
Figure 47 suggests that lamprophyres in tin and
base metal districts are partly overprinted by
post-magmatic mineralization. The inuence
of Sn-W-Mo mineralization is indicated by high
Sn (up to 1,350 ppm), F (up to 2 wt.%), Li (up to
350 ppm), Rb (up to 1,100 ppm), Cs (up to 100
ppm), and As concentrations (up to 330 ppm)
and their positive correlation in the majority
of LD1- and several LD2-type lamprophyres
located in tin deposits (Krupka, Sachsenhhe,
Phla, Mhlleithen). Additionally, LD1-type
lamprophyres with high Sn concentrations also
show high Zn contents (Fig. 47G). Sn-Zn grei-
sen with high indium contents are reported
from the Ehrenfriedersdorf district (Jung and
Seifert, 1996). Importantly, Zn and In exhibit
a strong correlation in LD1-type lamprophyres
(r = 0.97, n = 15).
Several LD2-type dikes in base metal deposits
are inuenced by Ag-base metal mineralization
(Freiberg, Marienberg, Annaberg). Important-

Tables A10 and A11 list the Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic
compositions measured in Erzgebirge lampro-
phyres and mac volcanics of the Sub-Erzge-
birge basin (MVSEB). For comparison lam-
prophyres from the Ronneburg U district and
different deposits in the central Bohemian mas-
sif (Tables A10, A11), and felsic (sub)volcanic
rocks from the Erzgebirge and Sub-Erzgebirge
basin were analyzed (Tables A12, A13). Val-
ues of 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd (Tab. A10) vary
widely in the Erzgebirge lamprophyres and
reach strongly enriched compositions (Fig. 48).
Among the ve Saxo-Thuringian groups (LD1-,
LD2-, and LD-3-type, lamprophyres of the

LD2-type lamprophyres show the largest vari-
ation (87Sr/86Sr(T) = 0.704 to 0.718, Nd(T) =
+7.2 to -6.4). The primary Sr-Nd signatures
of all studied lamprophyres suggest a large

to 0.77 (cf. Tichomirowa, 2001).
Four LD2-type lamprophyres have high initial
143
Nd/144Nd ratios (Nd(T) = +3.3 to +7.3) in-
dicating a depleted mantle source relative to
the bulk earth (Fig. 48). Similar Nd values
are reported from eclogites in the Erzgebirge
(Schmdicke et al., 1995). Three LD2-type
samples show a similar depleted Nd isotopic
signature (+3.3, +4.6, +7.3), and have mode-
rate to highly enriched 87Sr/86Sr initial ratios
(0.70708 - 0.71079). These ratios are very dif-
ferent from the Sr-Nd average of calc-alkaline
lamprophyres (cf. Rock, 1991), and are not re-
ported from any lamprophyre in the literature
(cf. Rock, 1991; cf. Mitchell, 1995). In contrast
to the Sr-Nd isotopic averages of AL and UML
(cf. Rock, 1991; Tab. A14), there is no correla-
tion between Nd and Sr isotope composition.

In this context it is important to note, that
626, 0.71833) correlate with high 87Rb/86Sr ra-
tios (25.3, 227.5), and high Rb (1,100 ppm, 787
ppm) and Sn contents (1,350 ppm, 48 ppm).
This indicates that the primary 87Sr/86Sr ratios
were changed by high-temperature greisen-
uids. The Nd(T) values (-0.2, -3.4) show no
correlation to these strongly enriched Sr iso-
topes. This fact shows that the primary Nd
isotope composition is contained in slightly
greisenized lamprophyres. A similar Sr-Nd
isotopic composition is observed for greisen-
ized or autometasomatic overprinted late-
Variscan granites (Tab. A12). In contrast to
the Nd(T) values (n = 17), only the 87Sr/86Sr(T)
the four high-Nd samples show negative

would not represent the primary signature.
The primary 143Nd/144Nd and 87Sr/86Sr ratios of
LD2-type lamprophyres are slightly to strong-

granites (Nd(330Ma) = -2.6 to -6.2) of the
Elbe Valley Zone / Meissen massif (Wenzel et

granites in the Erzgebirge show a tendency to
a lower Nd(T) composition of up to -7.4 (cf.
Frster, 1998; Fig. 48; Tab. A12). The lowest
Nd(T) value (-15.7) was measured from a
slightly greisenized, F-rich microgranitic dike
in the Marienberg district.
The LD1-type lamprophyres fall close to the
CAL average (Fig. 48). LD3-type lampro-

cluster (Nd(T) = -1.8 to -2.7) and a moderate

non-micaceous kimberlites (former group I
kimberlites), MORB, and the main part of the
OIB eld. Large differences between non-mi-
caceous kimberlite, orangeite, and lamproite
magma types must originate from composition-
ally district sources (cf. Mitchell and Bergman,
1991; Mitchell, 1995). These authors suggest
that orangeites, non-micaceous kimberlites,
and lamproites represent distinct magma types
derived from lithospheric and asthenospheric
sources, respectively. Mitchell (1995) places
the source of all non-micaceous kimberlites in
the asthenosphere and considers lithospheric
metasomatism as a consequence of the inter-
action of kimberlites (and other magmas) with
the lithosphere. Smith (1983) has noted that
non-micaceous kimberlites have Sr, Nd, Pb,
and 13C isotopic compositions closely resem-
bling those of carbonatites. Both show isotopic
similarities to oceanic island basalts. World-
wide carbonatites fall within a restricted range
of initial 87Sr/86Sr between 0.7025 and 0.7054
and have initial Nd between 0 and +4 (cf. Nel-
 son et al., 1988).
Tab. A2) show an enriched Nd(T) (-6.3) and
87
Sr/86Sr(T) composition (0.71714) which plot
close to paragneisses in the Erzgebirge. How-
ever, the Saxothuringian lamprophyres and
MVSEB (this study), and the WEV minettes
and kersantites (Turpin et al., 1988) show sig-
nicant lower 87Sr/86Sr initial ratios and higher
Nd values relative to Nd-Sr signatures of para-,
ortho-, and granulitic gneisses in the Erzge-
birge (Fig. 48).
Figure 49 illustrates the highly enriched and
variable Sr and Nd isotopic composition of
orangeites (former micaceous kimberlites or
group II kimberlites) and lamproites (cf. Nel-
son et al., 1986; Mitchell and Bergman, 1991;
Mitchell, 1995), and minettes with different
Non-micaceous kimberlites show a world-wide
similarity in the mineralogy and geochemistry,
which indicates that their parental magmas are
produced by the same process occurring re-
peatedly in space and time (cf. Mitchell, 1995).
This observation applies also to other astheno-
spheric magmas (MORB, tholeiitic basalt), but
is in marked contrast to the unique character of
the sources of orangeites and some other ultra-
potassic magmas. Asthenospheric processes,
which result in kimberlite or basaltoid magma
generation, may passively affect the lithospher-
ic sources of orangeites and induce partial melt-
ing. Orangeites are restricted to the Kaapvaal
craton and considered to be derived from a
lithospheric source located near the deepest
parts of the cratonic root (cf. Mitchell, 1995).
88 Th. Seifert
A deep origin of kimberlites was considered by
Haggerty and Sautter (1990) and Sautter et al.
(1991), who reported the occurrence of garnets
from the Jagersfontein kimberlite, which crys-
tallized at 300 to 400 km depth. Kimberlites
appear to be relatively oxidized (wustite-mag-
netite buffer), CO2-dominated asthenospheric
melts (cf. Mitchell and Bergman, 1991).
In contrast, the lamproite clan is believed to be
the result from partial melting, under reduced
(carbon-water buffer) H 2O-rich volatile condi-
tions, of ancient enriched harzburgite sources
(cf. Mitchell and Bergman, 1991). Lamproites
are melts derived from subcontinental mantle
lithospheric sources. The presence of paleo-
"ENIOFF ZONES AND MULTIPLE ANCIENT @MANTLE berley olivine lamproites. The conventional in-
metasomatic events are prerequisites for the
long-term development of this source. These
conditions restrict the occurrence of lam-
proites to mobile belts surrounding conti-
nental cratons. The Nd values of world-wide
lamproites range from -7.4 to -25.9 (Tab. A14),
indicating that these magmas are derived from,
or contain a contribution from, an old source
enriched in light REE (low Sm/Nd ratios)
relative to CHUR (cf. Mitchell and Bergman,
1991). The lowest 143Nd/144Nd initial ratios of
potassic rocks are represent by phlogopite lam-
proites in the Leucite Hills, Wyoming (Nd
= -13.7 to -17.9) and lamproites in the Smoky
Butte area, Montana (Nd = -21.6 to -25.9),
which show, in contrast to West-Kimberley and
Spanish lamproites, and orangeites, moderate
87
Sr/86Sr initial ratios (0.70530 to 0.70779; cf.
Mitchell and Bergman, 1991). Both lamproite
intrusion centers are underlain by the Archean
Wyoming craton with crystallization ages of
>2.6-3.2 Ga. High REE and Sr contents of lam-
proites indicate that they are unlikely to have
been subjected to signicant crustal contami-
nation, and the isotopic variations reect those
of their mantle sources (McCulloch et al., 1983;
Vollmer et al., 1984; Fraser et al., 1985; Nelson
et al., 1986; Bergman, 1987). Figure 49 suggests
that the West-Kimberley lamproites originated
from old sources enriched in Rb with low Sm/
Nd ratios (cf. Mitchell and Bergman, 1991). In
contrast, the Smoky Butte and Leucite Hills
lamproites were derived from sources with rela-
tively low Rb/Sr and Sm/Nd ratios. Mitchell
and Bergman (1991) postulated that the source
region of Smoky Butte lamproites was more
enriched in LREE than those of any other
province.
Orangeites exhibit limited 87Sr/86Sr (0.707 to
0.710) and Nd (-6.2 to -13.4) compared to
may other mantle-derived potassic volcanic
rocks (Fig. 49). The majority of orangeite iso-
topic composition plots on the West Kimberley
trend, close to the compositions of West Kim-
terpretation of the isotopic data (Smith, 1983)
is that the orangeite sources were isolated for
1 to 2 Ga prior to the partial melting events,
which led to the formation of orangeite mag-
mas. These sources are considered to be locat-
ed in the non-convecting lithospheric mantle.
In contrast, non-micaceous kimberlites are be-
lieved to be derived from convecting astheno-
spheric mantle (cf. Mitchell, 1995).
The majority of Saxothuringian lamprophyre
dikes have Sr-Nd isotope signatures, which
are intermediate between those of kimberl-
ites, orangeites, and West Kimberley olivine
lamproites (Fig. 49). The lamprophyres show
an afnity to the eld of Navajo minettes
(Alibert et al., 1986), which plot close to the
CHUR composition (Nd = -2.6 to +2.2) and
have a relative small range of 87Sr/86Sr compo-
sition (0.7052 to 0.7075). The intrusion of the
Navajo minettes is associated with the rst
phase of extension in the Rio Grande rift (cf.
Thompson et al., 1989). In contrast, the Coli-
ma rift-related minettes which are linked with
the eastward ridge jump of East Pacic Rise
(Luhr et al., 1985) are overlapped by the elds
of non-micaceous kimberlites and OIB. Both,
the Colima and Navajo minettes are grouped
as continental rifting remote from a mantle
 Geochemistry and Magmatic Evolution of CA-Lamprophyres and

plume (cf. Thompson et al., 1989). The NW
Colorado minettes (Elkhead mountains) show
a combination of relatively low values of both
87
Sr/86Sr (0.70387 to 0.70413) and Nd (-13.5 to
-8) which is far outside the range of all oceanic
magmas therefore rules out an exclusively as-
thenospheric source for this rocks (Thompson
et al., 1989). According to these authors, the
thermotectonic regime of this lamprophyric
magmatism is associated with extension during

 AND
propagating of the Rio Grande rift system in
combination with heated asthenosphere from
the Yellowstone plume. In consequence, Nd-
87
Sr/86Sr ratios have not a clear meaning in rela-
tionship to the tectonic setting of lamprophyric
magmatism.
In summary, the Nd and Sr isotopic signatures
of lamprophyres in the Erzgebirge, Ronne-
burg district and Moldanubian zone, as well
as MVSEB indicate a metasomatized mantle
source for these magmas. The existence of
recycled old continental crust is shown by the
Nd model ages T(DM) varying from 0.9 to 1.4
Ga (Tab. A10; excluding samples with negative
T(CHUR) values). These model ages are simi-
lar to dioritic and monzonitic post-collisional
shoshonitic intrusions (330 Ma) in the Elbe
Valley Zone (Meissen massif) which show
T(DM) between 0.8 and 1.5 Ga (Wenzel and
Von Quadt, 1993; Wenzel et al., 1997). The
shoshonitic magmas intruded during strike-
slip tectonism along the Elbe Valley Zone and
show space-time and geochemical relationships
to calc-alkaline lamprophyre dikes (Kurze et
al., 1998).

15.585, and 208Pb/204Pb (T) = 40.595 and 38.058,
respectively (Tab. A14).
Doe and Zartmann (1979) point out that el-
evated 207Pb/204Pb values are indicative of re-
gions of the crust where radiogenic Pb evolved
in Archean rocks because of the relative abun-
dance of 235U in the Archean. Conversely,
lower 207Pb/204Pb values indicate a lack of old
radiogenic Pb. This could mean evolution of
that Pb in an environment such as the mantle
that was isolated from old radiogenic crust
(cf. Tosdal et al., 1999). The low uranogenic
isotopic compositions (Fig. 50A) of most lam-
prophyre samples from the Erzgebirge and the
Ronneburg district, and MVSEB show a dis-
tinct cluster (206Pb/204Pb (T) = 17.448 - 18.896,

that Pb was derived from the same source,
transported, and deposited from the same hy-
drothermal uid. This assumption is for the
most part true because of the comparable geo-
chemical behavior of Pb, Cu, and Zn in hydro-
thermal uids, particularly in base metal-rich
magmatic hydrothermal systems or Pb-rich de-
posits in sedimentary environments (cf. Tosdal
et al., 1999). The Pb isotope compositions of
late-Variscan mineralization were measured in

separates from the Ag-base metal deposits

form a distinct cluster (206Pb/204Pb = 17.890 -

the late-Variscan Pb isotopic cluster. The po-
sition of the majority of lamprophyres within
the sulde data eld indicates that the isotopic
cluster seen in the primary signature of (Sn-)
polymetallic sulde mineralization could be
associated with mantle (e.g., lamprophyre)-
derived Pb. If the calculated Pb isotope ratios
of the paragneisses (Tichomirowa, 2001) rep-
resent the primary (T = 330 Ma) composition,
paragneisses could be also the Pb source for
the late-Variscan hydrothermal systems. In this
context it is important to note that the meta-
morphic host rocks of Sn and Ag-base metal
deposits in the Erzgebirge show no indication
for large-scale alteration processes (cf. Seifert,
1994a). Orthogneisses (cf. Tichomirowa, 2001)
and post-kinematic granites in the Erzgebirge
(Tab. A13) have a wide range of Pb isotope val-
ues. In this case, the homogeneous Pb isotope
compositions of late-Variscan mineralization
 SIMILARTOTHE@PRIMARY stages seem to indicate a lack of signicant ex-
Pb isotope signature of late-Variscan Sn-W-
Mo-Bi-Cu-Li-F and Ag-base metal mine-
ralization stages in the Erzgebirge-Slavkovsk
les region reported by Seifert et al. (2001),
and Seifert et al. (submitted). The uranogenic
and thorogenic isotope ratios of the measured
galena-bearing polymetallic sulde ores and
galena separates are similar to the low-radio-
genic (primary) signatures of the lamprophyre
dikes (Fig. 50) and overlap with WEV minettes
(Turpin et al., 1988). The Pb isotope composi-
tion of the para- and orthogneisses of the local
upper crust is very different. The eld for the
paragneisses overlaps the Pb data eld of Sn-
W-Mo-Bi-Cu-Li-F and Ag-base metal mine-
ralization stages, whereas the results for the
orthogneisses show a wide range from low to
high radiogenic ratios. It cannot be excluded,
that the Pb isotope signatures of the para- and
orthogneisses were slightly inuenced by Pb-
enriched hydrothermal uids of late-Variscan
mineralization stages. However, the dominant
host rocks of the polymetallic sulde veins in
the central Freiberg district plot far outside
ternal Pb contributed to the deposits.
Figure 51 shows that the lamprophyres and
MVSEB are dominated by 208Pb/204Pb vs. 206Pb/
204
Pb (A) and 207Pb/204Pb vs. 206Pb/204Pb ratios
(B) between the elds of non-micaceous kim-
berlites and orangeites, similar to WEV lam-
prophyres and Colima minettes. The strongly
enriched thorogenic and radiogenic Pb isotope
values (see above) plot outside this cluster. The
isotopic composition of Pb in non-micaceous
kimberlites is distinct from that of orangeites,
implying that their parental magmas origi-
nated from sources with very different U/Pb
and Th/Pb ratios and Pb evolutionary histories
(cf. Mitchell, 1995). Figure 51 shows that the
only other potassic magmas with Pb isotopic
compositions similar or lower to those of oran-
geites are lamproites from Leucite Hills and
Smoky Butte, and NW Colorado minettes, re-
spectively. In contrast, the Navajo minettes are
characterized by high 206Pb and 207Pb values,
similar to the high-radiogenic lamprophyres in
this study. Lamproites have Pb isotopic com-

9. INDICATIONS FOR THE MAGMATIC-(MANTLE-)
RELATED SOURCES OF LATE-VARISCAN MINE-
RALIZATION IN THE ERZGEBIRGE
The association of F-rich granites and rhyolites
with various tin-tungsten and rare metal de-
posits has been described from many districts
all over the world (e.g., temprok, 1965; Lugov,
1968; Mulligan, 1975; Groves and McCarthy,
1978; Taylor, 1979; Plimer, 1987; Lehmann,
1990; temprok, 1991; Raimbault et al., 1995;
Gonevchuk, 2002). The tin deposits in the
Erzgebirge show a clear spatial relationship to
post-kinematic granitic and (sub)volcanic fel-
sic intrusions (e.g., Oelsner, 1952a; temprok,
1967, Bolduan, 1972; Tischendorf et al., 1978;
Kumann, 1985; Schilka, 1986; Seifert and
Kempe, 1994; Wasternack et al., 1995; Bau-
mann et al., 2000; Rojk, 2005). The tradition-
al model for the genesis of these tin deposits
favored a crustal-derived syn- to late-collision
granite magmatism (Tischendorf, 1969, 1986,
1989). An alternative model suggests a man-

rare metal-bearing mineralization (Leeder,
1983, 1985; Dahm, 1985; Seifert, 1994a, 1997;
Zoubek et al., 1996).
The relationship of silver-base metal vein-type
deposits to granitic intrusions has been a sub-
ject of debate (cf. Beaudoin et al., 1999). Lind-
gren (1933), Oelsner (1952b), and Baumann
(1957, 1965) considered that these deposits
were of magmatic (granitic) afliation. Lind-
gren (1933) placed them into the mesothermal
category. Guilbert and Park (1986) considered
THAT @#ORDILLERAN VEIN

lated to igneous activity and formed from
magmatic or meteoric uids. New radiometric

alteration in the Harz mountains (Mertz et al.,
1989), Kokanee Range (Beaudoin et al., 1992a),
and Coeur dAlene district (Leach et al., 1998)
demonstrate lack of a temporal relation be-
tween granite intrusion and mineralization. In
this context the spatial and time relationships
of late-Variscan Sn-W-Mo-Bi-Cu-Li-F and sil-
ver-base metal mineralization to lamprophyric
and felsic A-type intrusions in the Erzgebirge
are of special interest (this study).
The hydrothermal uranium vein-type de-
posits in the Erzgebirge and Slavkovsk
les show a clear spatial association to late-
Variscan granites (e.g., Dymkov, 1961; Tischen-
dorf, 1989; Komnek et al., 1994; Seifert et al.,
1996a; Frster, 1998). Comparing age data of
the initial stage of uranium vein deposition
@UQK ORE

- 320 Ma; see Tab. A24) reveals a signicant
lack between the emplacement of granites and
the deposition of uranium veins. However, the
geochemical and mineralogical characteristics
of the uraninite-bearing late-collisional gran-
ites (20 - 60 ppm U; Seifert 1994a, b; Barsukov
et al., 1996; Frster et al., 1998; Kempe, 2003;
this study; see Tab. A25) indicate a genetic
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN @OLDER GRANITES AND URA-
nium veins. Some authors discuss a remobili-
zation of uranium from U-rich granites in the
central Erzgebirge (Seifert, 1994a), and west-
et al., 1983; Komnek et al., 1994; Tischendorf
and Frster, 1994; Frster, 1998; Kempe, 2003).
106 Th. Seifert

In this context it is important to note that the
late-Variscan uranium mineralization shows a
strong spatial relationship to lamprophyre dike
swarms in uranium deposits of the Erzgebirge
and the Pbram district (Aejev and Harlass,
rocks and hypothetic crust composition (cf.
Baumann et al., 2000).

and Seifert, 1994; Vlaimsk et al., 1995; Seif-
ert et al., 1996a; this study, see Figures 1, 2;
Tables A1, A2). Lamprophyre dikes are also
reported from the super-large uranium district
Ronneburg (cf. Schuster, 1995; Seifert et al.,
1996a; this study). After Keppler and Wyllie
(1990) uranium is complexed by chloride and
CO2 in uids. The extraordinarily high enrich-
ment of U over Th observed in carbonatite
lavas from Oldoinyo Lengai volcano empha-
sizes the possible importance of carbonate
complexes in the transport of U (cf. Keppler and
Wyllie, 1990). Keeping this in mind, the CO2-
rich LD2-type lamprophyres (see Tables A7,
A9; Fig. 46) could be important for the deposi-
tion of uranium veins in the Erzgebirge, Ron-
neburg, and Pbram-South district. CO2-rich
high-temperature uids, which are associated
with the intrusions of mantle-derived CO2-
rich lamprophyric melts, are easily capable of
leaching high-U granites of the late-collisional
type (e.g., Eibenstock and Kirchberg massif),
and of transporting high U concentrations in
ssure-controlled hydrothermal systems.
The following mineralogical, geochemical,
isotopic, uid inclusion, age relationship, and
structural features indicate a genetic link to a
magmatic-(mantle-)related source of late-Var-
iscan mineralization stages.
9.1. Mineralogical and Geochemical

and uranium-quartz-carbonate mineralization

mineral associations independent of their host
$ARK PURPLE lNE
is one of the most typical mineral in Sn vein-
and greisen-type ores of the Erzgebirge. The
REE pattern of this uorite indicates a mixing
of magmatic uids and the inuence of meta-
morphic and granitic host rocks, since they lie
between the host rock and primary REE sig-
natures (cf. Seifert and Kempe, 1994; Monecke
et al., 2002). Pink uorite from the early stage
of Sn mineralization (tourmaline veinlets) in
the Ehrenfriedersdorf district show a signi-
cant enrichment of HREE which is quite dif-
ferent from the REE pattern of the host rocks
and probably represents the primary REE
composition of a deep-seated uid (Seifert and
Kempe, 1994).
High HFSE (Nb, Ta, Sc, Th, In) concentrations
in bulk rocks and mineral separates of Sn-W-
Mo-Bi-Cu-Li-F mineralization (up to 9,000
ppm Nb, 4,500 ppm Ta, and 3 wt.% Sc in cas-
siterites from Sn deposits in the Erzgebirge; up
to 7 wt.% Nb, up to 0.6 wt.% Ta, up to 1.1 wt.%
Sc, and up to 67 ppm Th in wolframites of the
Sn deposits Sadisdorf, Cnovec, and Krupka;
up to 210 ppm Ta in the Cnovec granite stock
associated with Ta-rich columbite; up to 2.5
wt.% In in sphalerites and up to 0.3 wt.% In
in bulk ores of Sn-polymetallic deposits in the
Erzgebirge; cf. Seifert, 1994a; Breiter and Fr-
da, 1995; Seifert et al., 1997; Rub et al., 1998;
Kempe and Wolf, 2006; Seifert and Sandmann,
2006) may reect the inuence of mantle-de-
rived rare metal-bearing uids. Additionally,
there is a general trend to higher Sc contents
with increasing Nb concentration in wolframite
of the Erzgebirge and tin districts in Russia
(Kempe and Wolf, 2006). In this context it is
important to note, that there are no indications
for a primary enrichment of HREE and HFSE

The sulfur isotope composition of suldes in

between mineralized veins and the intrusion

the lamprophyric magmas. Additionally, the
weak enrichment of thorogenic Pb indicates
an inuence of a homogenous Pb source from
the granulite facies-metamorphosed lower
crust (Seifert et al., submitted). The Pb isotope
data does not preclude leaching of Pb from

isotope data provide further evidence for the
source of uids.
9.3. Stable Isotopes and Fluid Inclu-
sions
9.3.1. Sulfur isotopes
The 34S value of sulde deposited from an ore
uid ultimately depends upon the sulfur source.
However, variables such as uid O2, metal-
sulde strength, depositional temperature,
and the degree of isotopic equilibrium among
uid and precipitating sulfur species can ef-
fect hydrothermal sulfur isotopic composition
(Ohmoto and Rye, 1979). The sulfur isotopic
composition of the W deposit Pechtelsgrn
ranges from +1.8 to +4.7 34S (mean +3.6 ,
n = 9; Rsler et al., 1966). The 34S values of
suldes from the Sn deposits Ehrenfrieders-
dorf, Geyer, Pobershau, Marienberg, Anna-
tight grouping around 0 (mean = 0.7; range
from -1.9 up to +2.0 , n = 119; Tab. A26).
The narrow range of 34S values indicates lit-
tle variation in ore uid O2 conditions during
mineralization, and a dominance of sulde in
that uid. Moreover, these data indicate that
sulfur derived from the reduction of sedimen-
tary sulfate was unimportant as a source of the
sulde S (cf. Wareham et al., 1998). Instead, the
sulde 34S values are consistent with a mag-
matic sulfur source (typical range = 0 3 ;
Ohmoto, 1986).
For most porphyry- and skarn-type deposits in
the western United States and South America
associated with I-type granites 34S sulde val-
ues of 0 5 are reported in the literature
(cf. Ohmoto and Goldhaber, 1997). Fluids
from magmas that acquired most of their sul-
fur through assimilation of country rocks are
suggested as source for S2- in ores of these de-
posits.
9.3.2. Oxygen and carbon isotopes, and
uid inclusions
Published oxygen and carbon isotope studies of
late-Variscan vein and greisen quartz, and vein
carbonate in different tin, silver-base metal,
and uranium districts of the Erzgebirge suggest
that the W-Mo and Sn-W-Mo-Bi-Cu-Li-F mine-
ralization had a large magmatic water compo-
nent (Harzer, 1970; Rank, 1977; Thomas, 1979;
E. Nmet, Th. Seifert and G. Beaudoin, unpub-
lished data, 2003). The 18Oquartz values range
 Indications for the Magmatic- (Mantle-)Related Sources of
Late-Variscan Mineralization in the Erzgebirge
from +7.7 to +12.9 (Tab. A27). The mean
18O values of quartz and carbonate from Ag-
base metal and uranium veins indicate also an
inuence of magmatic-related hydrothermal
uids (Tab. A27). Because of the post-colli-
sional tectonic environment of the late-Varis-
can mineralizations it is improbable that meta-
morphic uids are envolved (see Fig. 57).
The 18O values for uids that were in equilib-
rium with quartz and carbonate are difcult
to calculate due to uncertainties in formation
temperatures. The temperatures of quartz
deposition, in particular, are difcult to assess
because quartz was precipitated in the veins
throughout the paragenesis, and temperatures

could have varied greatly.
High formation temperatures and pressures
for the uids responsible for the formation of

In summary, the calculated 18O uid composi-

Relationships to Magmatic Rocks
9.5.1. W-Mo and Sn-W-Mo-Bi-Cu-Li-F
mineralization
Field relationships show that W- and Sn-veins
and stringer zones crosscut LD1-type lampro-
phyres (e.g., Ehrenfriedersdorf, Phla) and
late-collisional granites (e.g., Pechtelsgrn,
Eibenstock, Ehrenfriedersdorf, Marienberg-
Pobershau), which are characterized by age
data between 335 Ma and 320 Ma (Tab. A24).
Additionally, the Sn-W-Mo greisen- and vein-
type mineralizations have younger ages relative
to LD2-type lamprophyres and post-collisional
rhyolitic intrusions (e.g., Sachsenhhe, Krupka,
Seiffen, Annaberg, Gottesberg-Mhlleithen;
Fig. 2; Tab. A1). The mica-minette dikes in the
Sachsenhhe and Krupka Sn deposits are cross-
cut by Sn-greisen mineralization (see Tab. A1;
Figs. 7, 8). They crosscut the gneiss and Tep-
lice rhyolite units, and probably also the oldest

MVSEB, and RVSEB overlap the age data of
Sn-W-Mo mineralization (Fig. 57), which indi-
cates a genetic relationship. In this context it is
important to note, that LD3-type lamprophyres
(310 Ma) in the Pobershau district crosscut the
Sn ore bodies (see Tab. A1; cf. Seifert, 1994a).
In result of these data, it is suggested that the
Sn mineralization in the Erzgebirge is associ-
ated with two different mantle-derived mag-
matic events.
9.5.2. Ag-base metal and U mineralization
Field relationships suggest that LD2-type lam-
prophyres and post-collisional rhyolitic dikes
are crosscut or overprinted by Ag-base metal
and U mineralization (e.g., Freiberg, Marien-
berg, Annaberg, Jchymov, Phla, Nieder-
schlema; Tab. A1). Literature and archive
data (Mller, 1848; cf. Seifert, 1988) and study
on samples from Ag-Cu-Zn-Sn mines in the
Marienberg district (Seifert, 1994a) indicate
that Sn-W-Mo veins were replaced by Ag-base
metal mineralization. LD2-type lamprophyres

show similar age relationships to the post-colli-

(Tab. A1).
The age relationships and petrographic char-
acteristics of late-Variscan lamprophyre dikes,
explosive breccia pipes, rhyolitic subvolcanic
intrusions, and greisenization processes favor
that the Sn-W-Mo mineralization event in the
western Erzgebirge occurred between 310 Ma
and 290 Ma (cf. Seifert and Armstrong, sub-

et al., 1990; Rock, 1991; Foley and Peccerillo,
1992; Mitchell, 1994; Shand et al., 1994; Fowler
and Henney, 1996; Woolley et al., 1996; Wen-
zel et al., 1997; Von Seckendorff et al., 2004).
However, lamprophyres and shoshonitic/ultra-
potassic volcanic rocks are important in the re-
construction of the tectonic setting of any giv-
en area (e.g., Leat et al., 1986; Thompson and
Fowler, 1986; Rock, 1991; Schaltegger et al.,
1991; Mller et al., 1992; Romer et al., 2001).
Importantly, studies of lamproites, kimberlites,
and lamprophyres have suggested that simple
garnet lherzolites are not suitable source rocks
for their parental magmas (Edgar, 1987; Mit-
chell, 1986; Smith et al., 1985; Foley, 1990,
1992; Rock, 1991; Mitchell and Bergman,
1991). Rather a metasomatized mantle source,
previously enriched in LILE and HFSE, is
favored by several authors (cf. Kramer, 1988;
Rock, 1991). Production of metasomatic aure-
oles and stoping mantle wall rock must in many
instances modify the chemistry of the rising
asthenospheric melt (cf. Menzies et al., 1987).
As a result of these processes lithospheric
mantle below continental and oceanic crust
is anomalously enriched in K, Ti, Fe, REEs,
other LILE and volatiles in zones of genesis of
kimberlite and alkaline magmas (cf. Menzies
et al., 1987).
115
The generation of different lamprophyric melts
is suggested by very low-degree partial melt-
ing of garnet lherzolite (for minette) through
transitional spinel-garnet lherzolite (2.5 to
4 wt.% melting for kersantite), to a high degree
of melting of spinel lherzolite (4.5 to 7 wt.%
melting for spessartite) during the rise of as-
thenospheric mantle (cf. Shand et al., 1994; cf.
Von Seckendorff et al., 2004).
Intraoceanic island arcs provide the simplest
setting in which to examine the characteristics
and causes of shoshonitic volcanism associated
with subduction zone processes (e.g., Bloomer
et al., 1989; Lin et al., 1989). Most alkalic vol-
canism of island arcs is characterized by low
concentrations of high eld strength elements
(HFSE). These K-rich, HFSE-poor alkalic
rocks are often called members of the shosho-
nitic series (cf. Gill and Whelan, 1989).
The complexity of the tectonic setting in which
shoshonitic lamprophyres occur is documented
in Thompson et al. (1989). They argue that a
strong case can be made for their association in
space and time with heating and/or thinning of
sub-continental lithospheric mantle. Selected
examples of thermotectonic regimes associat-
ed with strongly potassic mac magmatism are
grouped by Thompson et al. (1989) as follows:
(a) possible cases where subcontinental
lithospheric mantle is heated above a
thermal plume (e.g., lamproites of
Leucite Hills area, Wyoming, USA);
(b) continental rifting combined with
lithospheric heating above a plume
(e.g., minettes of Elkhead Mountains,
NW Colorado; leucitites of Virunga
province, Zaire and Ruanda);
116 Th. Seifert
(c) continental rifting remote from mantle
plums (e.g., minettes of the Colima
Graben, western Mexico; minettes of
the Navajo province, Arizona);
(d) continental extension by transtension
along transcurrent shear zones rather
than rifting (e.g., lamproites of the Vera
area, SE Spain; ultrapotassic dikes of
the Pernambuco fault belt, NE Brazil);
(e) rifting above an active subduction zone
or shortly after subduction has cased
(e.g., leucitites of the Roman province,
Italy);
(f) rifting and transtension during the col-
lapse of thickened continental litho-
sphere following orogeny, and its return
to normal thickness or even further
thinning locally (e.g., minettes in
Scotland and Northern England; lam-
prophyres in the Devon area, SW
England; minette and lamproites in the
western Alps, Switzerland and Italy).
Esperanca and Holloway (1987) concluded
that any minette containing olivine + clinopy-
roxene + phlogopite opaque oxide could not
have been signicantly re-equilibrated at low
pressure and temperature. This supports a
model of a rapid ascent of lamprophyric hot
magma (1,000 1,200 C temperature) that is
chilled rapidly under near surface conditions
(Esperanca and Holloway, 1987; cf. Rock,
1991). Swanson (1989), using the summary of
Edgar (1987), suggested that phenocrysts of
lamprophyres crystallized at depths between
about 24 and 41 km and temperatures of about
1,210 1,270 C. In contrast, potassic magmas,
retaining volatiles during cooling at low pres-
sure, may include phenocrysts of K-feldspar in
addition to phlogopite (cf. Shand et al., 1994),
like the LD3-type lamprophyres. The presence
of LD3-type lamprophyres with compositions
similar to LD2-type lamprophyres provides
evidence of similar origins but different evolu-
tionary P-T histories through the crust.
Mica lamprophyres may be produced at lev-
els below the stability eld of amphibole
(26 30 kb) where CO2 is the dominant control
on melting behavior (cf. Shand et al., 1994).
The higher CaO content of minettes and the
more abundant carbonate (primary, primary
remobilized, secondary?) is compatible with
these being produces from a mantle source
with primary carbonate (cf. Rock, 1991; cf.
Shand et al., 1994; Mitchell, 1995). According
to Kaszuba and Wendlandt (2000) CO2 may
have played an important role in production of
alkali-rich magmas. The solubility of carbonate
at high pressures (>16 kb) and its effectiveness
as a buffer for CO2 however, ensures that any
free uid/vapor, after the hydration of mica,
will be H 2O-rich at high pressures, and that u-
ids at low pressures may be CO2-rich (cf. Shand
et al., 1994). Carbonate minerals in calc-alka-
line lamprophyres include calcite, dolomite,
ankerite, and siderite, in approximate decreas-
ing percentages (Rock, 1991; this study).
CO2 metasomatism in lamprophyres from the
Erzgebirge has partly to completely replaced
phenocrysts of phlogopite (Plate II-3), olivine
(Plate II-7, -9, -10, -35), and plagioclase (Plate II-
27) with carbonate minerals possibly indicating
that CO2-rich uids exsolved from the primary
magma upon cooling (DeWitt et al., 1996).
Fine-grained, euhedral, interstitial carbonate
minerals with the groundmass that are not re-
placement products indicate that fairly large
amounts CO2 were dissolved in the magma
before solidication. DeWitt et al. (1996) pos-
tulated that such CO2-rich uids or gases were
derived from the original partial melting event
in the mantle that generated the alkalic lam-
prophyre magma.
2.) Various previous studies have demon-
strated that deep degassing, and input of vola-
tiles which derived from ore-hosting magmas
are the key process for ore deposition of mag-
matic-hydrothermal systems (e.g., Hedenquist
 Discussion
and Henley, 1985; Lowenstern et al., 1991;
Hedenquist and Lowenstern, 1994; Heinrich,
1995; Giggenbach, 1997; Webster et al., 1998;
John, 2001; Lowenstern, 2001; Lang and Bak-
er, 2001; Hattori and Keith, 2001; Kelley and
Ludington, 2002). High volatile concentrations
and the extreme LILE and HFSE enrichment
of lamprophyric melts are important for the
metallogenetic potential of this magmatism.
During decompression and/or crystallization
of a magma at low (<200 MPa) pressures it may
become saturated with both low-density vapor
and high-density brine (cf. Signorelli and Car-
roll, 2000). As described by Hedenquist and
Lowenstern (1994), the low density phase will
contain components such as H 2O, CO2, S, HCl,
and the higher density brine phase will contain
alkali salts, metals, water, and sulfates.
A few studies have documented apparent mo-
bilization of metals by CO2-rich uids, prima-
rily in the deep crust (cf. Lowenstern, 2001).
The presence of abundant CO2 may be a key
inuence on all stages of evolution of intrusion-
related gold systems, from initial magma gen-
eration to late-stage fractionation and volatile
exsolution (cf. Lang and Baker, 2001). Accord-
ing to Newberry (1998) the intrusion-related
gold-systems also have similarities to reduced
tin- and tungsten-rich magmatic-hydrothermal
systems. In a petrographic study of tungsten-
mineralized rocks, Higgins (1980) noted a cor-
relation between CO2-rich uid inclusions and
tungsten concentrations. Heinrich (1995) sum-
marizes evidence for vapor-phase transport
of copper in a number of intrusion-hosted de-
posits, and especially in tin deposits. Keppler
and Wyllie (1990) found signicant uranium
mobility in high-temperature magmatic uids
at moderate crustal pressure. These authors
noted that increasing CO2 concentrations in
the uid were accompanied by higher uranium
concentrations. Lowenstern (2001) argued that
the presence of CO2 will hasten the creation of
a vapor phase causing H 2S, and possibly HCl,
117
to move into the vapor phase and act as ligands
for some metals.
Chlorine and uorine are also typical vola-
tile components of magmatogene uids, for
example in hydrothermal Cu-Mo porphyry
(e.g., Berzina et al., 1997), Sn-W-Mo-Be grei-
sen (e.g., Zaraisky and Aksyuk, 1996), base
metal mineralization (e.g., Hedenquist and Lo-
wenstern, 1994), and Au, Cu, Ag (Hg, Bi, Pb,
Zn) high-suldation deposits (e.g., Arribas Jr.,
1995). Results of Signorelli and Carroll (2000)
demonstrate that Cl solubility in hydrous silicic
melts is a strong function of melt composition
and high solubilities can be expected in alkali-
rich, low silica activity compositions.
Other deposits where a spatial and temporal
relationship to lamprophyric and small gra-
nitic intrusions is described show similari-
ties to the Sn-polymetallic, Ag-base metal,
and uranium deposits in the Erzgebirge (e.g.,
Losert, 1962; Koutek, 1967; Sainsbury, 1969;
N mec, 1971; Fyles et al., 1973; Leroy and
Sonet, 1976; Vlamsk, 1976; Leroy, 1978;
Tauson et al., 1984; Leat et al., 1987; Pavlova,
1987; Hannah et al., 1991; cf. Rock, 1991;

doin et al., 1992a, b; Fedotov, 1994; Turnilina,

et al., 1996; Wareham et al., 1998; Novk et al.,
2001; Maughan et al., 2002; Martn-Crespo et
al., 2004).
3.) Compared with other orogens, the
Variscan orogeny had an unusually complex
evolution and many aspects are the subject of
active debate (cf. Franke, 2000). However, its
development and architecture have become
much clearer since the identication and cor-
relation of plate tectonic elements (cf. Franke
et al., 2000). There is no indication of active
subduction of oceanic crust and related calc-
alkaline magmatism in the Erzgebirge and the
Sub-Erzgebirge basin and surrounding areas
118
(e.g., Saxonian Granulitgebirge, Elbe Zone) at
340 to 335 Ma (uplift of the Erzgebirge meta-
morphic core complex) and in the following
extension stages (Fig. 57; Table A24 and refer-
ences therein). The late-collisional LD1-type
lamprophyre and S-type granite magmatism
postdate Upper Devonian/Lower Carbonifer-
ous subduction and collision by at least 10 Ma.
However, uids released during earlier (Upper
Devonian/Lower Carboniferous) subduction
and dehydration of oceanic crust are likely to
have mobilized LILE and LREE, and concen-
trated these in OH- and F-bearing micas and
amphiboles in the lithospheric mantle (cf. Von

The high concentration of LILE (Cs, Rb, K,

explained by melting of a metasomatically en-
riched mantle source (Fraser et al., 1985; Foley
et al., 1987; Rock, 1991; Nelson, 1992). Simi-
lar enrichments have been found in various
lamprophyre intrusions in the Saxo-Thuring-
ian (Kramer, 1974, 1988; Kramer and Seifert,

 Discussion
Pre-type Eibenstock granite age lampro-
phyres (type LD1)
Major and trace element contents as well as
Nd(T) vs. 87Sr/86Sr(T) ratios of LD1-type lam-
prophyres (late-collisional kersantites) show
geochemical afnities to the CAL average
(Figures 29 - 36, 40, 48). Based on literature
data (cf. Rock, 1991; Mller and Groves, 1995)
the signicant low Nb (avg. 13 ppm), TiO2 (avg.
0.85 wt.%), LREE (avg. 211 ppm), Th (avg.
22 ppm), Zr (avg. 208 ppm), and Hf (avg.
5 ppm) concentrations (see Tables A7, A9) sug-
gest that these late-orogenic magmas appear to
be derived from partial melting of subduction-
modied mantle lithosphere.
A crustal contamination of these older (LD1-
type) lamprophyres in the Ehrenfriedersdorf
district is indicated by a high SiO2 content of
up to 58.4 wt.% (Fig. 28) which is associated
with quartz-xenocrysts (Plate II-29, -30), and
the occurrence of (sub)rounded zircons (Plate
IV-G to -K) which represent an age spectrum
(0.5 2.7 Ga) probably related to subsampling
of the entire Erzgebirge crust. However, the

The crosscutting eld relationships of some of
119
tion (Fig. 57) suggest an S-type character for
these late-collisional granites in the Erzge-
birge. In the light of the new age data and
the post-metamorphic emplacement of LD1-
type lamprophyre intrusions (Kramer, 1974;
Seifert, 1994a; this study), the presence of
LD1-type lamprophyre dikes suggest a mantle-
derived magmatic event between the nal stage
of uplift and the initial extension stage before
330 Ma.
Post-type Eibenstock granite age lam-
prophyres (type LD2 + LD3)
Signicant element plots of LD2e-type lam-
prophyres are similar to those of LD1-type
lamprophyres (Zr vs. Nb, Hf vs. Zr, LREE

vs. Sm, Sm vs. Ce/Yb; Figures 34, 35, 40 - 42).
This could be interpreted as indication for an
equivalent mantle source of both lamprophyre
(kersantite) types. In this context it is of inter-

sion about a tectonomagmatic relationship be-
tween post-collisional lamprophyric and silicic
(sub)volcanic intrusions in the Erzgebirge and
the Sub-Erzgebirge basin is of special interest.
Mac and rhyolitic volcanics of the Sub-
Erzgebirge basin
The Sub-Erzgebirge basin is characterized by
an intensive mac (MVSEB) and rhyolitic vol-
canism (RVSEB) within an age range of about
305 - 290 Ma (Fig. 57, and references therein).
The ages of lithostratigraphic units (Planitz
and Leukersdorf formation) with MVSEB and
RVSEB indicate bimodal magmatic activities
during the Lower Rotliegend (Fig. 26). The
bimodal character of these volcanic sequences
is interpreted to be the result of intra-conti-
nental rifting and mantle-generated magma-
tism coupled with an extensional setting (cf.
Fischer, 1991; cf. Seifert, 1994a; Seifert and
Baumann, 1994). Based on petrographical
and geochemical data some authors postulate
that the Sn-F-enriched Zeisigwald ignimbrites
and tuffs (Jentsch, 1981; Kumann, 1985; Rank
and Plchen, 1989; Seifert and Kempe, 1994)
or both the upper rhyolitic and shoshonitic/
ultrapotassic magmatism in the SEB (Seifert,
1994a; Seifert and Baumann, 1994; Kramer and
Seifert, 1994) are volcanic equivalents of the
post-collisional intrusions in the Erzgebirge.
121
Data of this study conrm that the Erzgebirge
lamprophyres show geochemical similarities to
the mac volcanism in the Sub-Erzgebirge ba-
sin (Figures 28 - 30, 33 - 35, 40 - 42, 43B, 45; Tab.
A9). Additionally, the post-collisional rhyolitic
magmatism in the Erzgebirge shows similari-
ties to RVSEB (Tab. A8; Fig. 58). An excellent
example for the postulated bimodal magma-
rhyolitic intrusions in the Gottesberg-Mhl-
leithen tin district (Figs. 24, 25; c.f. Seifert and
Armstrong, submitted). A Permo-Carbonifer-
ous bimodal magmatism in the Erzgebirge and
the Sub-Erzgebirge basin is suggested (see Fig.
57), although this is not conrmed sufciently
by absolute age dating of the Erzgebirge lam-
prophyres.
The discrepancies of some of these age data
in comparison to the lithostratigraphic units
in the SEB (Fig. 26) are signicant and speak
at rst against a genetic relationship between
the post-collisional magmatism in the Erzge-
birge and SEB. However, it is difcult to in-
terpret the measured age data. K-Ar ages of
phlogopite separates and whole rock samples
from lamprophyres with similar petrographic
and geochemically characteristics show a wide-
spread range between 328 7 Ma and 286 7
Ma (see Fig. 57; Tables A17, A18, A24). K-Ar
dating of lamprophyres from different districts
(see numbers 14, 34, 44, 45, and 53 in Figure
57 and Table A24) indicate Stephanian and
Lower Rotliegend ages which are similar to
those of the mac volcanism in the Sub-Erzge-
birge basin. The Ar-Ar ages of phlogopite
separates show a small range of total gas ages
and plateau ages between 314.5 0.5 Ma and
323.7 0.6 Ma (n = 7). Six total gas ages show
a range between 320.5 0.5 Ma and 323.6
0.7 Ma which is conrmed by two plateau ages
(see Tab. A17). The weighted mean and iso-
chrone Ar-Ar ages of four samples show sig-
nicant higher ages (322.8 0.5 Ma and 327.8
0.5 Ma). Phlogopite separates of lamprophyres

age of 316 2.7 Ma (Seifert and Armstrong,
submitted). This indicates an intrusion age for
the mica-minette dike of about 315 320 Ma.
The 207Pb/206Pb and 206Pb/238U zircon ages of
non-greisenized, slightly altered K-rich rhy-
olitic dikes distal from the Gottesberg-Mhl-
leithen district give 290 5 Ma and 297 8 Ma
(Kempe et al., 2004). Based on petrographic
and geochemical data they are possibly as-
sociated with the emplacement of the above
mentioned (sub)volcanic rhyolitic intrusions
in this district (Figures 24, 25; cf. Seifert and
Armstrong, submitted). It is not adequate clear
how greisenization and hydrothermal process-
es inuence the U-Pb system in zircons. How-
ever, investigation of zircon from rhyolite in-
volved in greisenization demonstrates that this
Sub-Erzgebirge basin. For this discussion the
Ar-Ar dating of a kersantite dike distal to the
is of special interest. According to Von Secken-
gave an Ar-Ar total gas age of 294 2.8 Ma,
which indicate a co-magmatic relationship to
the MVSEB of the Planitz formation (Fig. 26)
in the Zwickau area.
In summary, the radiogenic isotope systems

age dating from post-collisional lamprophyres
(about 295 Ma) and rhyolites (about 290 300
Ma) distal to the ore deposit districts (cf. Von
Seckendorff et al., 2004; cf. Kempe et al.,
2004) may represent true intrusion ages. The
signicant petrographical, geochemical, and
structural similarities between lamprophyre
dikes (LD2a, LD2c) as well as (sub)volcanic
rhyolitic intrusions in the Erzgebirge and the
Lower Rotliegend volcanism in the Sub-Erzge-
birge basin (MVSEB, RVSEB) indicate a ge-
netic link of the bimodal magmatism in both
areas. Most of the bimodal assemblages form
potassium-rich mac and rhyolitic series (Fig-
ures 27, 28) with an age of about 315 290 Ma
(Tab. A24; Fig. 57).
Based on the above mentioned data and discus-
 Discussion
sion a model for the post-collisional magmatic-
tectonic evolution and associated late-Varis-
can mineralizations is postulated (Figure 59).
From Westphalian time onwards, a regional
scale, approximately E-W-oriented stress eld
was superimposed on the collapsing Variscan
orogen (cf. Timmermann, 2004 and references
therein). The likely cause of this was the colli-
sion of the Gondwana continent with eastern
North America, and dextral movements be-
tween the two continents. Regional extension
leading to lithospheric thinning, the develop-
ment of shear zones, the formation of fault-
controlled basins, and decompression melting
of updoming asthenosphere (cf. Franke et al.,
2000; cf. Praeg, 2004; cf. Wilson et al., 2004)
may have been an important factor for the Per-
mo-Carboniferous bimodal magmatism in the
Erzgebirge and Sub-Erzgebirge basin.
The bimodal lamprophyre (shoshonitic/ultra-
potassic)-rhyolite assemblage in the Erzgebirge
and the Sub-Erzgebirge basin was erupted dur-
ING INTRACONTINENTAL RIFTING IN A @&AST %XTEN-
sion setting (Fig. 57) which formed the modern
morphology of the SEB and activated the NW-
SE and NE-SW deep fault zones in the Erzge-
birge (see Fig. 2). This assemblage was formed
during continental extension under conditions
of high differential horizontal stress unrelated
to subduction, but possibly due to lithospheric
extension over a mantle plume (Fig. 59). It is
important to note that these tectonic and mag-
matic features are similar to those of the Ceno-
zoic Basin and Range province in the Western
United States (cf. John, 2001; cf. Praeg, 2004).
The emplacement of uid-enriched lampro-
phyric (shoshonitic/ultrapotassic) melts at the
base of the lower crust in the Erzgebirge and
Sub-Erzgebirge basin is probably associated
with asthenospheric doming (upwelling of the
hot asthenospheric mantle into the lithosphere;
Fig. 59). The types of eruptions and orienta-
tions of dikes and shallow intrusions in the
bimodal assemblage are consistent with an
123
extensional tectonic environment that allowed
rapid ascent of lamprophyric magmas from the
upper mantle. The F-enriched rhyolitic rocks
were probably produced by small amounts of
partial melting of the lower crust, resulting
from underplating of hot and uid-enriched
lamprophyric melts.
Based on petrochemical data the genesis of
these uid-enriched lamprophyric melts can be
discussed: Geochemically the LD2-type lam-
prophyres and most of the mac volcanism in
the Sub-Erzgebirge basin show compositions
which are different from the CAL average and
ARE SIMILAR TO THE AVERAGE OF COCITES @TRANSI-
tional lamproites; Rock, 1991) and other lam-
proite occurrences worldwide (Figures 28 - 30,
32 - 38, 42, 43, 45).
In contrast to the geochemical data, the Sr-Nd
isotopic signatures of LD2-type lamprophyres
indicate not a clear afnity to a lamproitic
source (Figures 48, 49). Most of the lampro-
phyres, including MVSEB and Ronneburg
lamprophyres, plot in the Sr-Nd diagram be-
tween the non-micaceous kimberlite, carbona-
tite, and OIB elds and the orangeite and lam-
proite signatures. However, the Sr-Nd isotope
ratios of, for example Colima, Navajo, and NW
Colorado minettes (Fig. 49) show that the in-
terpretation of Sr-Nd isotope data and its re-
lationship to the magmatic-tectonic setting is
not always clear. Especially the NW Colorado
(Elkhead mountains) minettes show discrep-
ancies in their interpretation as lamprophyres
which are associated with continental rifting
combined with lithospheric heating above a
mantle plume (cf. Thompson et al., 1989) and
the low Nd(T) values that are far outside the
range of asthenospheric magmas. On the other
hand, the Sr-Nd isotope signatures of Colima
and Navajo minettes which are postulated
as continental rifting remote from a mantle
plume (cf. Thompson et al., 1989) show simi-
larities to the elds of asthenospheric magmas
(non-micaceous kimberlites, OIBs; Fig. 49). In

Variscan mineralization in the Erzgebirge and Sub-Erzgebirge basin (SEB) during the
Stephanian / Lower Rotliegendes (305 290 Ma). Post-collisional magmatism in
the Erzgebirge and surrounding areas is probably associated with upwelling of
asthenospheric mantle into the lithosphere, possible due to impingement of a
mantle plume, which led to partial melting of the subduction-modied lithospheric
mantle. Continental extension allowed rapid ascent of uid-enriched lamprophyric
(shoshonitic/ultrapotassic) magmas through the crust and eruption as thin lava
ows, and dike swarm intrusions with little interaction with the crust. Small
amounts of partial melting of the base of the crust resulted from underplating of
uid-enriched lamprophyric magmas formed F-enriched rhyolitic melts in an ano-
rogenic setting. The rhyolite magmas emplaced as subvolcanic small intrusions and
dikes in the upper crust or erupted as domes and lava ows. Especially in the Sub-
Erzgebirge basin, a local accumulation of these melts in moderate depth magma
chambers led to eruptions of ignimbrite and ash-ow tuffs and formation of
calderas. MVSEB = Mac volcanics in the Sub-Erzgebirge basin.

consequence, the position of the Sr-Nd isotope

ratios of LD2- and LD3-type lamprophyres,
MVSEB, and Ronneburg lamprophyres in
Figure 49 could also be discussed as indication
for asthenospheric magmatic pulses where the
Sr-Nd isotopic signatures were modied by the
interaction with the lithospheric mantle and/or
the crust.
4.) The metallogenetic importance of post-
collisional lamprophyres (especially type LD2)
is indicated by its high volatile concentrations
(CO2, H 2O+, F, Cl, S, P 2O5) and relationships to
A-type rhyolitic intrusions and late-Variscan
Sn-W-Mo / Zn-Sn-Cu-In-Pb-Ag / U ore deposi-
tion. Additionally, they frequently occur in dis-
tricts with intensive and economic important
late-Variscan mineralization processes. The
high volatile fugacities of the lamprophyres
and shoshonitic/ultrapotassic volcanics are
documented in their whole rock composition
(CO2 up to 12.2 wt.%, H 2O+ up to 7.92 wt.%,
F up to 4,600 ppm, Cl up to 1,700 ppm, S up to
3,160 ppm, P 2O5 up to 1.33 wt.%) and in high
H 2O+, F, and Cl contents of early magmatic
phlogopites and apatites. Volatile components
(H 2O, CO2, Cl, S, F, P) and metals can be lost
to the atmosphere during eruptive degassing
(cf. Lowenstern et al., 1991; cf. Johnson et al.,
1994). In consequence, the measured contents
may only represent the minimum volatile con-
centration of lamprophyric melts.
Direct and indirect supporting evidence of a
magmatic origin for the late-Variscan miner-
alization in the Erzgebirge includes:
(1) close spatial association of the deposits
with igneous rocks;
(2) probably close temporal association
between igneous rocks and associated
mineralization (Fig. 57);

topic, and uid inclusion characteristics

genetic co-relationship (cf. Seifert, 1994a; Jung

ated with a post-collisional, bimodal (lampro-

about 315 - 290 Ma.
The fundamental feature important in the

associated with asthenospheric doming (see
Figures 57, 59).

11. CONCLUSIONS
This study investigated the association of late-
to post-collisional lamprophyre dike intru-
sions for late-Variscan ore mineralization in
the Erzgebirge (Germany, Czech Republic),
one of the most important silver, tin, tungsten,
uranium, lead, zinc, copper, indium, bismuth,
cobalt, and nickel ore provinces in Europe with
a mining history of more than 800 years. Most
lamprophyric dikes occur in areas of crosscut-
ting deep fault zones which also acted as path-
TYPE
ways for post-collisional F-enriched rhyolitic
intrusions and postmagmatic Sn-W-Mo, Ag-
base metal, and U mineralizations.
The genesis and metallogenetic importance of
the lamprophyre magmatism in the Erzgebirge
can be summarized as follows:
1.) Late-collisional kersantite dikes (pre-

magmatic events and late-Variscan
mineralization indicate their genetic
relationship.
3.) The bimodal lamprophyre-rhyolite as-
semblage in the Erzgebirge - Sub-Erzge-
birge basin area was formed during in-
sion setting by melting of a metasomatic
enriched mantle source. The emplace-
ment of uid-enriched lamprophyres
and rhyolitic intrusions at the same time
is probably associated with decompres-
sion melting of updoming astheno-
sphere. These tectonic and magmatic

Ages (T) for calculation of initial Nd- and Sr-ratios on the basis of geochronological and relatively age relationship data.
The Nd model ages T(DM) were calculated with 147Sm/144Nd = 0.213 and 143Nd/144Nd = 0.513151 for the depleted mantle after De Paolo (1981); The Nd model ages T(CHUR) were calculated with 147Sm/144Nd = 0.1967 and 143Nd/144Nd = 0.512638 for the
'chondritic uniform reservoir' after De Paolo and Wasserburg (1976).

Ninety-nine percent pure phlogopite or feldspar was separated from rock samples by standard mineral separation
procedures. Grains sizes were between 250-125 micrometers. All samples were cleaned with reagent-grade acetone,
alcohol, and deionized water and air-dried. All samples were wrapped in aluminum foil packages and encapsulated
in silica glass vials with uence standards adjacent to each sample. The standards for this experiment are MMhb-1
hornblende and Fish Canyon Tuff (FCT) sanidine with age of 28.03 Ma calibrated internally against MMhb1
hornblende standard (percent K = 1.555, 40ArR = 1.624 x 10 -9 mole/gm, Samson and Alexander (1987), and K-Ar age =
523.12.6 Ma; age reevaluated by Renne et al. (1998)). For irradiation, an aluminum canister was loaded with the
silica vials. Samples were irradiated in four different irradiation packages, two of which were irradiated for 30 hours,
one for 40 hours and one for 129 hours. All irradiations were done in the TRIGA reactor at the U.S. Geological Survey
in Denver, Colorado. The samples and standards were analyzed in the Denver Argon Geochronology Laboratory
of the U.S. Geological Survey using a Mass Analyser Products 215 rare-gas mass spectrometer on a Faraday-cup
collector. All samples were heated in a double-vacuum low-blank resistance furnace for 20-minute heating intervals
at each temperature, in a series of 6 to 15 steps, to a maximum of 1450 C, and analyzed using the standard stepwise
heating technique described by Snee (2002). Each standard was degassed to release argon in a single step at 1350 C.
For every argon measurement, ve isotopes of argon (40Ar, 39Ar, 38Ar, 37Ar, and 36Ar) are measured. Detection limit at
the time of this experiment was 2x10 -17 moles of argon.

2
Abundance of all isotopes including 40ArR (Radiogenic 40Ar), 39ArK (irradiation-produced K-derived 39Ar), 38Ar Cl
(irradiation-produced Cl-derived 38Ar), 37Ar Ca (irradiation-produced Ca-derived 37Ar), and 36ArAt (atmospheric 36Ar)
is measured in volts and calculated to ve decimal places. Voltage may be converted to moles using 1.160 x 10-12
moles argon per volt signal. The value (40ArR /39ArK) may be directly calculated from 40ArR and 39ArK in the table.
All isotopic abundances have been corrected for mass discrimination. Mass discrimination was determined by
calculating the 40Ar/36Ar ratio of aliquots of atmospheric argon pipetted from a xed reservoir on the extraction line;
the ratio during this experiment was 298.9, which was corrected to 295.5 to account for mass discrimination. Final
isotopic abundances were corrected for all interfering isotopes of argon including atmospheric argon. 37Ar and 39Ar,
which are produced during irradiation, are radioactive and their abundances were corrected for radioactive decay.
Abundances of interfering isotopes from K and Ca were calculated from reactor production ratios determined by
irradiating and analyzing pure CaF2 and K 2SO4; the K 2SO4 was degassed in a vacuum furnace prior to irradiation to
release extraneous argon. Corrections for Cl-derived 36Ar were determined using the method of Roddick (1983). For
details on isotopic corrections, isochron calculations, and age calculations, see Snee (2002). Production ratios for
irradiations DD67, DD68, DD74, and DD79 used in this experiment are available in Snee (2002).

3
Apparent ages and associated errors were calculated from analytical data then rounded using associated analytical
errors. Apparent ages of each fraction include the error in J value (0.12%), which was calculated from the reproducibility
of splits of the argon from several standards. Apparent ages were calculated using decay constants of Steiger and Jger
(1977). All apparent age errors are cited at 1 sigma. Uncertainties in the calculations for apparent age of individual
fractions were calculated using equations of Dalrymple et al. (1981).

p
Fraction included in plateau date. Plateaus determined according to the method of Fleck et al. (1977).
w
Fraction included in weight-averaged date.
