We report the first measurements of Fe isotope fractionation between coexisting pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite from the Lengshuiqing Ni-Cu magmatic sulfide deposit, Southwest China. The δ56Fe values of chalcopyrite (Cp) range from 0.24‰ to 1.25‰, much higher than those in the coexisting pyrrhotite (Po, −1.25‰ to −0.13‰). The δ56Fe values of pyroxene separates from the Lengshuiqing intrusions are in a range from −0.03‰ to 0.18‰. Pyrrhotite in sulfide-mineralized rocks with greater than ∼2 wt.% S has δ56Fe values of −0.3 ± 0.2‰, indicating Δ56FePo-sil(pyrrhotite – silicate melt) in the range of −0.4 ± 0.2‰ with parental silicate magma δ56Fe of 0.1‰ as calculated from the least evolved pyroxene δ56Fe value. This fractionation is similar to that experimentally determined by Schuessler et al. (2007) for pyrrhotite and a rhyolitic melt, suggesting that Δ56FePo-silof approximately −0.4‰ represents a near-equilibrium value for sulfide-rich mineralization in the Lengshuiqing intrusions. Pyrrhotite-dominated sulfide separates in samples with less than ∼2 wt.% S show δ56Fe values as low as −1.25‰. The low δ56Fe values can be modeled by a non-equilibrium process, where the fractionation between immiscible sulfide liquid and silicate magma decreases from −0.4 to −1.4‰ as the R-factor (mass ratio of silicate melt to coexisting sulfide liquid) increases from 1 to 1000. We suggest that the relative proportion of externally introduced Fe from sulfidic sedimentary country rocks may be higher in low-S samples, controlling the low δ56Fe values of the sulfide assemblage in the mineralized rocks.The trend of Fe isotope enrichment at Lengshuiqing is consistent with Fe-S bond strengths, but the difference between coexisting pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite is not consistent with equilibration at high temperatures. The Δ56FeCp-Povalues at Lengshuiqing (1.06–1.77‰) are similar to those measured for samples from the Voisey’s Bay and Eagle Ni-Cu deposits, and suggest that in a cooling sulfide liquid Fe isotope equilibration may continue to temperatures less than 200 °C.
