Cover Story: Multiple overprinting hydrothermal events remain a challenge in metallogenic studies. The Idaho Cobalt Belt presents two distinct metal-rich events that introduced Co and Cu. The pyrite displays various degrees of alteration, with the highest Co content (up to 6 wt.%) in less-altered pyrite and the highest δ65Cu. The most-altered pyrite has lower Co and lower δ65Cu matching the copper isotope values of the chalcopyrite. Cobalt was originally introduced into the siliciclastic host rock in a Mesoproterozoic SEDEX environment. The heavier Cu was then preferentially leached in a second event, resulting in isotopically lighter Cu in the altered pyrite. Remobilization of the SEDEX Co was likely associated with CO2-rich metamorphic fluids during orogenies from the Mesoproterozoic to Late Cretaceous. View this paper
