We focus in our study on the Outokumpu assemblage between 1314 and 1515 m of the Outokumpu deep drilling. This assemblage is characterized by several geophysical anomalies including both very high magnetic susceptibilities and remanent magnetizations and is the host rock of the Outokumpu-type Cu-Co-Zn-Ni(-Ag-Au) deposits. The remanent magnetization in the serpentinites is carried by magnetite and pyrrhotite. Different degrees of silica-carbonate alteration of serpentinite caused a decomposition of magnetite and a transformation of ferrimagnetic into antiferromagnetic pyrrhotite along with Ni-sulfide formation, which is seen in strong susceptibility variation in the serpentinite unit. Although we found no correlation between rock magnetic properties and chemical composition, we observed a clear relationship between mineralogy and magnetic properties in relation to the silica-carbonate alteration. This finding also explains the strong magnetic field variation within the investigated Outokumpu assemblage measured by Hördt and co-workers. oai:juser.fz-juelich.de:978287 authority:GRANT authority G AUTHORITY oai:juser.fz-juelich.de:978287
