4 ABSTRACT Five core samples from two wells (LHD1 and LHD5) from Lahendong geothermal system were selected for stable isotope analyses. Oxygen, hydrogen and carbon isotopes were analysed on quartz, clay and calcite. δ 18 O VSMOW of quartz is 10.32, 2.78 and Calcite δ 18 O VPDB ranges from to , with δ 13 C VPDB from to Clay (mainly chlorite) have a δ 18 O VSMOW = 6.1 and δd VSMOW = Assuming temperature of precipitation between 250 C and 270 C, fluid in equilibrium with hydrothermal minerals can be recalculated. Oxygen value of the fluid that precipitated quartz, calcite and clay is generally enriched in oxygen, with isotopic value around 3 for pure quartz, 4.8 for clay and between 2 and 7 for calcite. The range of δ 18 O fluid points to a mixed origin between depleted meteoric, neutral chloride thermal water, and magmatic oxygen. Based on these preliminary results, it is challenging to differentiate between a direct magmatic input with a high δ 18 O fluid, or a low water-rock ratio interaction where δ 18 O fluid is derived from isotopic exchange with 18 O-enriched magmatic rocks. The value of δ 13 C CO2 in isotopic equilibrium with calcite is relatively light with δ 13 C CO2 varying between and Such CO 2 values are above the assumed isotopic value of magmatic-derived CO 2 and indicate that the carbon in the system is also influenced by from near-by marine sediments.

5 1.0 INTRODUCTION This scientific report presents preliminary stable isotope analyses (oxygen, hydrogen, carbon) of five core samples selected from the Lahendong geothermal system, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The aim of this study is to identify potential fluid source(s) of the geothermal fluids and to investigate whether there could be a mixture of fluid components from magmatic and meteoric sources. 2.0 STABLE ISOTOPE ANALYSES 2.1 SAMPLING Four samples were selected from well LHD-1 from cores at 750, 801, 900, 1452 m and one sample from well LHD-5 at 900 m. Table 1 presents the detailed mineralogy hand-picked for stable isotope analyses. Table 1 Lahendong samples selected and hand-picked for isotopic analyses.

Stable isotope ratios were measured at the National Isotope Centre (NIC), GNS Science, New Zealand. Oxygen in quartz samples was extracted from sample powders for isotope analyses using a CO 2 -laser and BrF 5 (Sharp, 1990). Oxygen isotope values are reported in the familiar δ 18 O notation, relative to VSMOW (Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water). Samples were normalised to the international quartz standard NBS-28 using a value of +9.6 per mil ( ). Values for four NBS-28 analysed with the samples had values that varied by less than Samples and standards were heated overnight to 150 C prior to loading into the vacuum extraction line. These were then evacuated for approximately 6 hours. Blank BrF 5 runs were done until yield was less than 0.2 μmoles of oxygen. Oxygen yields were recorded and CO 2 gas analysed on a Geo20-20 mass spectrometer. Clay samples were analysed on a HEKAtech high temperature elemental analyser coupled with a GV Instruments IsoPrime mass spectrometer. Samples were pyrolysed at 1450 C, in silver capsules. All samples were analysed in triplicate. All results are reported with respect to VSMOW, normalised to international standards IAEA-CH-7, NBS30 and NBS22 with GNS Science Report 2013/14 1

6 reported δd values of -100, -66 and The external precision for these measurements is better than 2. Carbonates were analysed on the GVI IsoPrime Carbonate Preparation System at a reaction temperature of 25 C for 24 hours and run via dual inlet on the IsoPrime mass spectrometer. Results are reported with respect to VPDB (Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite), normalised to our internal standards GNS Marble with reported values of 2.04 for δ 13 C and for δ 18 O. The external precision for these measurements are better than 0.1 for δ 13 C and 0.2 for δ 18 O. 2.3 RESULTS Table 2 presents the raw stable isotope analyses for five samples selected from wells LHD-1 and LHD-5. Quartz oxygen values ranges between to 11.51% with the exception of sample LHD-1_ which has a value of This sample is considered as not pure quartz and has experienced some contamination. The clay separate from LHD-1_ has a δ 18 O of 6.1 and a δd of This sample is mainly composed of chlorite with rare illite (Utami, 2011).

7 3.0 POSSIBLE FLUID SOURCES Mineral stable isotope values can be used to estimate the different fluid sources that may have contributed to their compositions. The equilibrium fractionation between mineral species and fluids is dependent on temperature following the generic equation: 10 3 lnα xy = A xy (10 6 /T 2 ) + B xy, where x and y represent two phases in equilibrium, A and B are constants unique to the pair of phases x and y, and α xy is the equilibrium fractionation factor. If two phases are in equilibrium then xy δ x δ y = 10 3 lnα xy We can thus estimate the isotopic value of the fluid, assuming equilibrium fractionation between the fluid (e.g. fluid CO 2 ) and the mineral if we know the temperature of precipitation, for example, δ water = δ quartz 10 3 lnα quartz-water Fluid isotopic values have been recalculated for Lahendong samples using estimates of the temperature of the two wells based on fluid inclusion data and measured well temperature (Utami, 2011). The oxygen compositions of the fluid in equilibrium with quartz, calcite and clay were calculated using the fractionation factors from Zheng (1993), O Neil et al. (1969), Friedman and O Neil (1977) and Cole and Ripley (1998), respectively. The hydrogen value of the fluid in equilibrium with chlorite was calculated for pure chlorite using Graham et al. (1984). The carbon isotope value of the fluid in equilibrium with calcite was calculated using Ohmoto and Rye (1979). The oxygen and hydrogen ranges of isotopic values of the fluid in equilibrium with quartz, calcite and clay samples are reported in Figure 1. Assuming a range of temperature between 250 and 270 C for the precipitation of the quartz, the fluid in equilibrium has δ 18 O varying from 1.36 to 2.21 for LHD1_750, 2.55 to 3.4 for LHD5_ , and to for LHD1_ , however, the last sample is assumed to be impure quartz (most probably calcite contamination). Oxygen isotopes of water in equilibrium with the calcite are calculated using the δ 18 O SMOW values of the calcite and range between 2.7 and 7 at 250 C (Figure 1). The calculated fluids are isotopically heavier than the meteoric water or the oxygen value of local spring water and are interpreted to reflect mixing with magmatic oxygen. This is consistent with the oxygen and hydrogen isotopic values of the fluid in equilibrium with the chlorite (±illite) in sample LHD1_ (Figure 1). The isotopic value of the fluid was recalculated at 250 C for pure chlorite and also reflects a mixture of magmatic and meteoric oxygen sources. These sources can be represented by either: 1) a magmatic source where a large component of the fluid is directly exsolved from a degassing magma chamber or; 2) a large O-shift due to a low water-rock ratio between 18 O-depleted meteoric and/or chloride hot spring water and Lahendong volcanic rocks with an anticipated oxygen value >6. The composition of the fluid in equilibrium with chlorite in sample LHD1-801, assuming that a proportion of illite is present in the sample, is slightly enriched in deuterium compared to the primary magmatic rocks, which indicates some direct magmatic oxygen in the system.

The temperatures are estimated from fluid inclusions and well temperatures from Utami (2011). White diamonds are Indonesian spring waters from Utami (2011). Volcanic vapours field from Giggenbach (1992), PMW (primary magmatic waters) from Taylor (1979). The carbon isotope value of the fluid was recalculated at 250 C assuming that the calcite was in equilibrium with CO 2 (Table 4). δ 13 C CO2 ranges between and Mantle (e.g. magmatic) carbon has an isotopic value varying between -8 and -4, oceanic carbon has a value of ~0. The authors suggest that a portion of the carbon is most likely to have been assimilated by calcite originated from nearby marine sediments.

9 4.0 CONCLUSIONS This preliminary isotopic study of Lahendong minerals shows that a large portion of the Lahendong geothermal system incorporated oxygen originating from magmatic and meteoric sources. At the preliminary stage of this study, the distinction between a direct magmatic fluid source and/or oxygen exchange between the rocks at a low- 18 O fluid cannot be determined. The propylitic assemblage and propylitically altered rocks are generally characterised by 18 O- depletion associated with 18 O-enrichment in sodium chloride hot spring fluids. This can explain the heavy isotopic values of some hydrothermal minerals at Lahendong. One interesting observation of this preliminary study is the low δ 13 C of the calcite, which can be attributed to low δ 13 C in CO 2, and shows that some of the carbon is likely derived from marine sediments. Sulfur isotopic analysis of anhydrite at Lahendong will constrain further the possible sedimentary influence. Without more detailed analysis of the O, C, H and S isotopic systems these preliminary results represent only an indication of the different possible fluid sources. 5.0 REFERENCES Cole D.R. and Ripley E.M Oxygen isotope fractionation between chlorite and water from C : A preliminary assessment based on partial exchange and fluid/rock experiments, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 63.
