In this work a method for rare earth element (REE) determination by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was proposed after heavy crude oil digestion by microwave-assisted wet digestion (MAWD) using a single reaction chamber (SRC) system.

The Kipawa rare-earth element (REE) deposit is located in the Parautochton zone of the Grenville Province 55 km south of the boundary with the Superior Province. The deposit is part of the Kipawa syenite complex of peralkaline syenites, gneisses, and amphibolites that are intercalated with calc-silicate rocks and marbles overlain by a peralkaline gneissic granite. The REE deposit is principally composed of eudialyte, mosandrite and britholite, and less abundant minerals such as xenotime, monazite or euxenite. The Kipawa Complex outcrops as a series of thin, folded sheet imbricates located between regional metasediments, suggesting a regional tectonic control. Several hypotheses for the origin of the complex have been suggested: crustal contamination of mantle-derived magmas, crustal melting, fluid alteration, metamorphism, and hydrothermal activity. Our objective is to characterize the mineralogical, geochemical, and isotopic composition of the Kipawa complex in order to improve our understanding of the formation and the post-formation processes, and the age of the complex. The complex has been deformed and metamorphosed with evidence of melting-recrystallization textures among REE and Zr rich magmatic and post magmatic minerals. Major and trace element geochemistry obtained by ICP-MS suggest that syenites, granites and monzonite of the complex have within-plate A2 type anorogenic signatures, and our analyses indicate a strong crustal signature based on TIMS whole rock Nd isotopes. We have analyzed zircon grains by SEM, EPMA, ICP-MS and MC-ICP-MS coupled with laser ablation (Lu-Hf). Initial isotopic results also support a strong crustal signature. Taken together, these results suggest that alkaline magmas of the Kipawa complex/deposit could have formed by partial melting of the mantle followed by strong crustal contamination or by melting of metasomatized continental crust. These processes and origins strongly differ compare to most alkaline complexes in the world. Additional TIMS and LA-MC-ICP-MS analyses are planned to investigate whether all lithologies share the same strong crustal signature.

Vendian and Permian-Triassic plagiogranite magmatism is distinguished for Ust’-Belsky and Algansky terranes of West-Koryak fold system. U–Pb zircon ages from Vendian and Permian-Triassic plagiogranites are 556 ± 3 Ma (SIMS), 538 ± 7 Ma (LA–ICP–MS) and 235 ± 2 Ma (SIMS) consequently. It is revealed, that Vendian and Permian-Triassic plagiogranites are mainly low-K and low-Al. Sr–Nd isotopy and rare-earth element patterns allow supposing their formation by partial melting of primarily mantle substrate or by fractional crystallization of basic magma. Vendian plagiogranites formed within active margin in ensimatic island arc simultaneously with deposition of lower part of volcanic-sedimentary complex of Otrozhninskaya slice. We suggest the Permian-Triassic plagiogranites were being formed within the limits of Ust’-Belsky segment of Koni-Taigonos arc during partial melting of melanocratic ophiolite material build up as fragments in accretionary structure of that arc or by fractional crystallization of basic magmas melted from the similar substrate.
