GUID (UUID V4):

Two rock types containing the high-grade rare earth ores have been described in this field: ancylite- and bastnäsite-rich carbonatites. Generally, both varieties are breccias composed of early dolomite carbonatites and matrix with a high content of REEs. In ancylite-rich carbonatites, the matrix consists of ancylite-(Ce) [CeSr(CO3)2(OH)·H2O], baryte, first generation strontianite, and calcite (±quartz); in the BRC, the predominant matrix minerals are bastnäsite-(Ce) [Ce(CO3)F], hydroxylbastnäsite-(Ce) [Ce(CO3)(OH)] (hereafter, both phases are referred to as bastnäsite), and associated quartz. Ancylite is a product of an early metasomatic alteration of primary magmatic burbankite in the Petyayan-Vara carbonatites. The BRC are suggested to be the result of a later alteration of the ancylite-rich carbonatites. An additional product of this overprinting is the SRC, occurring as breccias cemented by second-generation strontianite and bastnäsite. The total content of REE oxides (TREO) in ancylite-rich carbonatites amounts to 10 wt.% and more. The BRC contain significantly less TREO (5 wt.% or less), but they are still highly attractive from an economic side. The first reason for this is the higher REE content in bastnäsite compared to ancylite (64 wt.% vs. 37 wt.% REE total, respectively), which ensures higher REE content in the final concentrate of the former. Second, the relative content of the most valuable medium and heavy REEs in the studied bastnäsite is higher, which is manifested in lower LaN/NdN and LaN/YbN in bastnäsite compared to that of the ancylite of Petyayan-Vara.
