Partial least squares-discriminant analysis of trace element compositions of magnetite from various VMS deposit subtypes: Application to mineral exploration
Trace element composition of magnetite from 16 VMS deposits, host bedrocks, and VMS-associated banded iron formations are documented.
•
Partial least squares discriminant analysis, a supervised classification technique, is used to classify LA-ICP-MS data of magnetite from various VMS settings.
•
PLS-DA of magnetite compositions from various VMS settings yields models that classify magnetite in unconsolidated sediments.
•
Magnetite chemistry discriminates VMS deposits from other mineral deposit types.
