Geology and geochronology of the Xilamulun molybdenum metallogenic belt in eastern Inner Mongolia,China

The Xilamulun molybdenum metallogenic belt, located in eastern Inner Mongolia, China, has great economic potential as a major producer of molybdenum. Four major types of Mo deposits have been recognized in the Xilamulun molybdenum metallogenic belt: porphyry, quartz vein, volcanic-hosted, and greisen. These Mesozoic Mo deposits are closely related to Si- and K-rich intrusives and are usually hosted by granite plutons or located at the endo- or exo-contact zones of the granite porphyry. SHRIMP zircon U–Pb dating gives the emplacement ages of the intrusions related to Mo mineralization as 245.1 ± 4.4, 152.4 ± 1.6, and 139.1 ± 2.3 Ma. Re–Os analysis of five molybdenite samples from the Chehugou porphyry Mo deposit yields an isochron age of 245 ± 5 Ma (2σ), indicating that the mineralization age of the porphyry Mo deposit is about 245 Ma. Re–Os analyses of six molybdenite samples from the Nianzigou quartz-vein-type Mo deposit yield an isochron age of 154.3 ± 3.6 Ma (2σ), constraining the mineralization age of the quartz-vein Mo deposit to 154 Ma. Our results suggest that the Mo mineralization in the Xilamulun belt formed during at least three stages, i.e., the Triassic, Late Jurassic, and Early Cretaceous, and is coeval with the granitic magmatism. The corresponding geodynamic background covers the syncollision between the North China and Siberian plates during the Early to Middle Triassic, a compression setting related to the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate during the Jurassic and lithospheric thinning during the Early Cretaceous in eastern China.     

西拉沐伦钼矿带半拉山斑岩钼矿床花岗斑岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb测年及其地质意义

半拉山斑岩钼矿床是大兴安岭南段中生代西拉沐伦钼矿带中重要的钼矿床之一。矿床产于晚侏罗世火山岩中,矿区发育中生代侵入杂岩,侵入岩主要包括花岗闪长岩、闪长岩及花岗斑岩。矿床形成与侵入杂岩岩浆演化晚期岩浆活动有关。花岗斑岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年表明,与成矿有关的晚期花岗斑岩侵位于(132.1±1.8) Ma。这表明,半拉山钼矿化发生在早白垩世,形成于中国东部岩石圈减薄构造环境。结合已有资料分析,认为大兴安岭南段除铅锌银铁铜等矿床之外,在白垩纪发生过重要的钼矿成矿作用,与白垩纪花岗斑岩有关的钼矿化是今后重要的找矿方向。     

Molybdenite Re–Os and albite Ar/Ar dating of Cu–Au–Mo and magnetite porphyry systems in the Yangtze River valley and metallogenic implications

The area of the Middle–Lower Yangtze River valley, Eastern China, extending from Wuhan (Hubei province) to western Zhenjiang (Jiangsu province), hosts an important belt of Cu–Au–Mo and Fe deposits. There are two styles of mineralization, i.e., skarn/porphyry/stratabound Cu–Au–Mo–(Fe) deposits and magnetite porphyry deposits in several NNE-trending Cretaceous fault-bound volcanic basins. The origin of both deposit systems is much debated. We dated 11 molybdenite samples from five skarn/porphyry Cu–Au–Mo deposits and 5 molybdenite samples from the Datuanshan stratabound Cu–Au–Mo deposit by ICP-MS Re–Os isotope analysis. Nine samples from the same set were additionally analyzed by NTIMS on Re–Os. Results from the two methods are almost identical. The Re–Os model ages of 16 molybdenite samples range from 134.7 ± 2.3 to 143.7 ± 1.6 Ma (2σ). The model ages of the five samples from the Datuanshan stratabound deposit vary from 138.0 ± 3.2 to 140.8 ± 2.0 Ma, with a mean of 139.3 ± 2.6 Ma; their isochron age is 139.1 ± 2.7 Ma with an initial Os ratio of 0.7 ± 8.1 (MSWD = 0.29). These data indicate that the porphyry/skarn systems and the stratabound deposits have the same age and suggest an origin within the same metallogenic system. Albite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of the magnetite porphyry deposits indicates that they formed at 123 to 125 Ma, i.e., 10–20 Ma later. Both mineralization styles characterize transitional geodynamic regimes, i.e., the period around 140 Ma when the main NS-trending compressional regime changed to an EW-trending lithospheric extensional regime, and the period of 125–115 Ma of dramatic EW-trending lithospheric extension.     

内蒙古敖仑花斑岩钼矿床成岩成矿年代学及地质意义

敖仑花钼矿床位于大兴安岭南段,是西拉木伦河断裂北侧多金属矿集区内新发现的斑岩型钼矿床.首次采用SHRIMP锆石U-Pb技术对敖仑花含矿花岗斑岩进行了测年,获得成岩年龄为134±4Ma;采用ICP-MS方法测定敖仑花钼矿床辉钼矿中Re-Os同位素,获得模式年龄在131±2～133±2Ma之间,辉钼矿Re-Os同位素等时线年龄为132±1Ma(MSWD=1.12),成岩与成矿误差范围内基本同时发生,敖仑花斑岩钼矿床为早白垩世构造、岩浆活动的产物.西拉木伦河断裂带内的多金属矿床具有一定的时空分布规律,130～150Ma是带内矿床成矿高峰期,两侧矿床可能具有不同的成矿物质来源.区内独特的成矿特征,与区域经历了古亚洲洋构造域和滨西太平洋构造域的复合演化有关,发生于早白垩世时期的这一大规模成矿事件,是该区经历增生造山和地壳加厚之后,演化为孤后大陆伸展背景时强烈岩浆活动和成矿作用的产物.

A Re–Os study of molybdenites from the Lanjiagou Mo deposit of North China Craton and its geological significance

The Lanjiagou Mo deposit is located in the eastern part of the North China Craton. Rhenium and osmium isotopes in molybdenites from the Lanjiagou porphyry Mo deposit have been used to determine the timing of mineralization. Molybdenite was analyzed mainly from granite porphyry, which is characterized by moderate to strong silicification. Rhenium concentrations in molybdenite samples are between 33 and 48 µg/g. Analysis of eleven molybdenite samples yields an isochron age of 181.6 ± 6.5 Ma (2σ). Based on the geological history and spatio-temporal distribution of the granitoids, it is proposed that the Mo deposits in the eastern part of the North China Craton were related to the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate during Jurassic time.     

Review of Mesozoic multiple magmatism and porphyry Cu–Mo (W) mineralization in the Yidun Arc,eastern Tibet Plateau

The Yidun Arc was formed in response to the westward subduction of Garze–Litang Ocean (a branch of Paleotethys) in the Late Triassic, where abundant porphyry Cu–Mo deposits (221–213 Ma) developed along the regional NW–SE sinistral faults and emplaced in the southern portion of the arc. The ore-related porphyries are mostly metaluminous or slightly peraluminous, belonging to shoshonitic high-potassium calc-alkaline I-type granites, with ε_Hf(t) values of −6.64 to +4.12. The ore-bearing magmas were probably derived from the partial melting of subduction-metasomatic-enriched mantle, with the contamination of underplated mafic materials. The Late Cretaceous (88–80 Ma) highly fractionated I-type granite belt and related porphyry Cu–Mo deposits and magmatic-hydrothermal Cu–Mo–W deposits occur along approximately N–S-trending faults in the Yidun Arc. This belt extended across the Yidun Arc and Garze–Litang suture zone to the north and across the Yangtze Craton to the south, intruding the Late Triassic porphyry belt. The ore-related porphyries are characterized by high silica and high total alkalis, with enrichment in large ion lithophile elements (LILEs; Rb, U and K) and depletion in high field strength elements (HFSE; Nb, Ta, P and Ti) and Ba. They have lower ε_Hf(t) values varying from −9.55 to −2.75, and significant negative Eu anomalies, indicating that the ore-bearing porphyritic magmas originated from ancient middle-upper crust. Two-stage magmatism and mineralization were superimposed in the Xiangcheng-Shangri-La district. Some ore deposits comprise two episodes of magmatism and associated mineralization such as both 207 ± 3.0 Ma granodiorite and 82.1 ± 1.2 Ma monzogranite intruded in the Xiuwacu deposit, causing Cu–Mo–W polymetallic mineralization. To date, 11 Late Triassic porphyry Cu deposits (e.g. the Pulang giant deposit with 5.1 Mt Cu), and five Late Cretaceous porphyry Cu–Mo (W) deposits (e.g. Tongchanggou Mo deposit with 0.59 Mt Mo) have been evaluated in the Xiangcheng-Shangri-La district. The continuity and inheritance of multiphase magmatism and the new understanding of superimposed mineralization will help to guide future exploration.     

Mesozoic molybdenum deposits in the East Xingmeng orogenic belt,northeast China: characteristics and tectonic setting

Numerous molybdenum (Mo) ore deposits have been discovered in the East Xingmeng orogenic belt (East Central Asian orogenic belt), over the past 10 years, and this region is becoming one of the world's most important Mo production areas. It contains 6.18 Mt of proven Mo metal reserves, which accounts for 30% of the total proven Chinese Mo reserves. The ore district includes 37 deposits and 15 occurrences, with three major Mo ore types, that is porphyries, skarns, and hydrothermal veins. The latter can be subdivided into quartz- and volcanic hydrothermal-vein types. With the exception of the Ordovician Duobaoshan porphyry Cu–Mo deposit (477 Ma), all the East Xingmeng Mo deposits formed during the Mesozoic. Re–Os dating of molybdenite has documented three episodes of Mo mineralization: Early Triassic (248–242 Ma), Jurassic (178–146 Ma), and Early Cretaceous (142–131 Ma). Early Triassic Mo deposits are distributed along the northern margin fault of the North China Craton (NCC) and include porphyry and quartz vein types. They are characterized by the association of Mo + Cu. Jurassic Mo deposits are mainly distributed in the eastern area and include porphyry, quartz vein, and skarn types. They are typified by Mo alone and/or the association of Mo, Pb, and Zn. Cretaceous Mo deposits are distributed in all areas and include porphyry and volcanic hydrothermal vein types. Similar to the Jurassic ores, they are simple Mo or Mo + Pb + Zn deposits. Volcanic hydrothermal vein deposits are characterized by an association of molybdenum and uranium. The Triassic Mo deposits formed in a syn-collision setting between the Siberian and North China plates. The Jurassic Mo deposits formed in a compressional setting, which was probably triggered by the westward subduction of the palaeo-Pacific plate. The Early Cretaceous Mo deposits are linked to a tectonic regime of lithosphere thinning, which was caused by delamination of thickened lithosphere. However, the Mo deposits in the Erguna terrane of the northwest Xingmeng orogenic belt may be related to the evolution of the Okhotsk Ocean.     

Geochronology and tectonic setting of Pb–Zn–Mo deposits and related igneous rocks in the Yinshan region, Jinzhai, Anhui province, China

The Gaijing Pb–Zn–Mo deposit and Shapinggou Mo deposit in the Yinshan region, Jinzhai, Anhui province, China, are hosted in various granitic intrusions with ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages obtained for biotite and hornblende of 136.8 ± 1.6 Ma (medium-grained monzogranite), 130.4 ± 1.2 Ma (fine-grained granite), and 125.4 ± 1.0 Ma (fine-grained diorite). The modes of occurrence and cross-cutting relationships among the igneous intrusions indicate that alkali quartz-syenite and quartz-syenite porphyry (cryptoexplosive breccia) formed later than the calc-alkali monzogranite, granite, and diorite. Molybdenum mineralization occurs in pipe-like bodies hosted in cryptoexplosive breccia (pipe), quartz-syenite (porphyry), monzogranite, and granite, whereas Pb–Zn mineralization occurs in veins distally from the Mo mineralization. The Re–Os isotopic model ages of molybdenite from the Gaijing Pb–Zn–Mo deposit are 112.6 ± 1.3 and 113.5 ± 1.3 Ma, consistent with the ages of other molybdenum deposits throughout the East Qinling–Dabie metallogenic belt. The geological characteristics and isotopic ages of the Gaijing Pb–Zn–Mo and Shapinggou Mo deposits indicate a genetic relationship to the emplacement of the quartz-syenite (porphyry) and to shallow-seated porphyry–cryptoexplosive breccia intrusions. The present results, combined with existing data, suggest that the Pb–Zn–Mo deposits and related igneous rocks were formed in a geodynamic setting of regional lithospheric thinning, delamination, and thermal erosion in East China. The deposits are part of the East Qinling–Dabie molybdenum belt, which in turn is part of a large-scale E–W-trending metallogenic belt in East China.     

内蒙古阿巴嘎旗比鲁甘干斑岩型钼矿床辉钼矿Re-Os同位素年龄及其地质意义

采用辉钼矿Re-Os同位素定年,获得的内蒙古阿巴嘎旗比鲁甘干钼矿的辉钼矿Re-Os同位素模式年龄变化范围为236.9±3.7~238.7±2.4Ma,年龄加权平均值为237.9±1.7Ma,表明该矿床形成时代应为印支期。辉钼矿的Re含量平均值为74.065×10~(-6),表明其主要为幔壳混合来源特征。该矿床位于贺根山断裂带以南的兴蒙造山系索伦山-霍林郭勒弧盆系内,为斑岩型钼矿床。钼矿体主要赋存在黑云母花岗斑岩和角岩内,受内外接触带控制。接触带控矿容矿断裂主要有北西向、北东向及近东西向,其内多充填有石英脉。细脉状、网脉状石英脉越发育,钼矿化越强。区域研究表明,印支期是兴蒙造山带及其邻区钼(钨)成矿的重要成矿期之一,但在本区尚属首次发现,为开展索伦山-霍林郭勒成矿带区域成矿规律研究提供了重要参考。     

Triassic magmatism and Mo mineralization in Northeast China: geochronological and isotopic constraints from the Laojiagou porphyry Mo deposit

The Laojiagou Mo deposit is a newly discovered porphyry Mo deposit located in the Xilamulun Mo metallogenic belt, Northeast China. Mo mineralization mainly occurred within the monzogranite and monzogranite porphyry. Re–Os isochron dating of molybdenites indicate a mineralization age of 234.9 ± 3.1 Ma. Zircon LA–ICP–MS U–Pb analysis for monzogranite porphyry and monzogranite yield ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages of 238.6 ± 1.8 and 241.3 ± 1.5 Ma, respectively, indicating that Laojiagou Mo mineralization is related to Middle Triassic magmatism. Hf isotopic compositions of zircons from both monzogranite porphyry and monzogranite are characterized by positive ε_Hf(t) values [ε_Hf(t) = 2.9–7.3 and 1.5–7.9, respectively] and young T_DM2 model ages, which implies that the magma was derived from juvenile crust created during accretion of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). Identification of the Laojiagou Mo deposit adds another important example of Triassic Mo mineralization in the Xilamulun Mo metallogenic belt where most Triassic Mo deposits in northeast China cluster around the northern margin of North China Craton. Based on the regional geological setting and geochronological and Hf isotope characteristics, we propose that Triassic Mo deposits and related magmatic rocks in northeast China formed during the last stages of evolution of the CAOB. These deposits formed during post-collisional extension after the closure of the Palaeo-Asian Ocean and amalgamation of the North China–Mongolian Block with the Siberian Craton.     

黑龙江多宝山斑岩铜(钼)矿床蚀变-矿化阶段及其流体演化

黑龙江多宝山斑岩铜(钼)矿床是大兴安岭中北部多宝山-阿尔山铜(钼)成矿带内最大的斑岩型矿床,位于兴蒙造山带的最东端。矿床赋存于花岗闪长岩及多宝山组下部地层中。据野外脉体类型和穿插关系、围岩蚀变类型、矿物组合,将多宝山斑岩铜(钼)矿床的蚀变和矿化自早至晚划分为4个阶段:Ⅰ钾硅化阶段;Ⅱ 硅化-钼矿化阶段;Ⅲ绢英岩化-铜矿化阶段;Ⅳ碳酸盐石英阶段。石英中包裹体类型主要有水溶液包裹体、富CO₂包裹体、含子晶多相包裹体、纯CO₂包裹体。成矿流体从早阶段到晚阶段具有规律性演化特征:钾硅化阶段发育水溶液包裹体、富CO₂包裹体,盐度集中在6%~10% NaCleqv,密度0.5~0.9g·cm^-3,均一温度峰值为245~400℃;硅化-钼矿化阶段发育水溶液包裹体、富CO₂包裹体、含子晶多相包裹体均一温度峰值为260~300℃,盐度1.7%~39% NaCleqv,密度0.3~1.1g·cm^-3;绢英岩化-铜矿化阶段发育水溶液包裹体、富CO₂包裹体,均一温度峰值220~280℃,盐度0.1%~24.8% NaCleqv,峰值集中在6%~12%,密度0.5~1.0g·cm^-3;碳酸盐阶段仅发育水溶液包裹体包裹体,均一温度峰值为125~170℃,盐度0.5%~12.8% NaCleqv,密度0.8~0.9g·cm^-3。激光拉曼探针分析结果表明成分主要为H₂O和CO₂。本文对多宝山矿床主成矿期压力进行了估算,Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ阶段捕获压力分别为110~160MPa、58~80MPa、8~17MPa。测温实验结合野外现象及包裹体岩相学表明多宝山斑岩铜(钼)矿床是一个复杂的构造-岩浆成矿系统,与成矿有关的热流体不是单一的岩浆分异的结果,构造裂隙系统也为含矿流体提供了很好的导矿与容矿空间,矿床沉淀机制为温度压力的变化及空间的开放导致流体不混溶与沸腾作用,不同流体的混合、水岩反应致使流体pH值、成分发生变化,从而导致铜、钼的矿化。     

Distal Pb-Zn-Ag veins associated with the world-class Donggou porphyry Mo deposit,southern North China craton

The southern North China craton hosts numerous world-class porphyry Mo and Pb-Zn-Ag vein deposits. Whether or not the Pb-Zn-Ag veins are genetically associated with the porphyry Mo system remains contentious. Here we focus on the genetic relationships between the Sanyuangou Pb-Zn-Ag vein deposit and the world-class Donggou porphyry Mo deposit, and discuss the potential implications from the spatial and temporal relationships between porphyry and vein systems in the southern North China craton.At Sanyuangou, vein-hosted sulfide mineralization mainly comprises pyrite, sphalerite, and galena, with minor chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, bornite, tetrahedrite, covellite, polybasite and argentite. The mineralization is hosted by a quartz diorite stock, which has a zircon U-Pb age of 1756 ± 9 Ma. However, sericite from alteration selvages of Pb-Zn-Ag sulfide mineralization yields a well-defined ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateau age of 115.9 ± 0.9 Ma. Although nominally younger, the sericite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age is similar to the age of the nearby Donggou porphyry Mo deposit (zircon U-Pb age of 117.8 ± 0.9; molybdenite Re-Os ages of 117.5 ± 0.8 Ma and 116.4 ± 0.6 Ma). Pyrite from Donggou has elevated contents of Mo and Bi, whereas pyrite from Sanyuangou is enriched in Cu, Zn, Pb, Ag, Au, and As. This trace element pattern is consistent with metal zonation typically observed in porphyry related metallogenic systems. Pyrite grains from Sanyuangou have lead isotopes overlapping those from Donggou (17.273–17.495 vs. 17.328–17.517 for ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, 15.431–15.566 vs. 15.408–15.551 for ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, and 37.991–38.337 vs. 38.080–38.436 for ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb). Collectively, the geological, geochronological, and geochemical data support a magmatic-hydrothermal origin for the Sanyuangou Pb-Zn-Ag deposit and confirm that the Pb-Zn-Ag veins and the Donggou Mo deposit form a porphyry-related magmatic-hydrothermal system.Given the widespread Pb-Zn-Ag veins and Mo mineralized porphyries in many districts of the southern North China craton, the model derived from this study has broad implications for further exploration of Mo and Pb-Zn-Ag resources in the area.     

华北克拉通北缘西拉沐沦钼多金属成矿带钼矿化类型、特征及地球动力学背景

最近,在华北克拉通北缘,沿东西走向的西拉沐沦构造带两侧异军突起地出现了一个400多千米长、300千米宽的钼矿带,短短4年时间已经发现了10余个大型-中型钼矿床,显示了巨大的资源前景。钼矿床的空间分布受区域东西向、北东向及北西向断裂联合控制,钼矿床的形成与中生代的中酸性侵入体关系密切,矿床产于花岗岩体中、斑岩体内外接触带或附近,矿床类型以斑岩型、石英脉型、火山热液型及云英岩型为主。空间关系表明钼矿床的形成主要与中生代富硅、富钾酸性侵入岩有关。成矿年代学研究表明,西拉沐沦成矿带钼矿具有三期成矿作用：包括245Ma、150Ma和138Ma。其对应的成矿动力学背景为印支期华北板块与西伯利亚板块碰撞造山后伸展阶段和燕山期中国东部构造大转折期。其中,印支期的成矿作用和相应的岩浆活动在以往的工作中较少论及。     

安徽西冲钼矿床细粒花岗岩的岩石定年、岩石化学及与成矿的关系研究

西冲钼矿是大别成矿带东段近年新发现的斑岩型钼-多金属矿床,其矿床学和矿床地球化学研究少见报导。该研究成果丰富了我国斑岩-矽卡岩型钼钨-多金属矿床研究成果,同时对指导区域找矿具有一定意义。本文在详细的野外地质调研基础上,对大别成矿带西冲钼矿区出露的主要岩石单元、矿化和蚀变特征、细粒花岗岩的岩石学、岩石化学和成岩年代学进行了系统的研究。结果表明,矿区出露的主要侵入岩单元由老至新依次为:石英二长岩、细粒花岗岩(130.8±1.1Ma)及双峰式脉岩组合(131.9±1.4Ma和131.3±1.6Ma),其均为燕山期岩浆活动产物,产于华北与扬子陆块拼合后的陆内环境。矿化类型以脉状、网脉状和浸染状为主,为一斑岩型钼-多金属矿床。矿区蚀变发育,包括黑云母-磁铁矿化、钾长石化、硅化、石英-绢云母化、石英-绿帘石化、绿泥石-碳酸盐化和泥化,且空间上具有一定的分带规律。矿区已知矿化、蚀变及Cu-Mo化探异常的空间展布与细粒花岗岩关系密切,且细粒花岗岩中具有高的Mo含量,表明该矿床的形成主要与细粒花岗岩有关。岩石化学结果表明,细粒花岗岩属过铝质-准铝质、高钾钙碱性-钾玄质过渡岩石,锆石U-Pb年龄与双峰式脉岩的在误差范围内一致,表明其均形成于大别造山带大规模伸展背景。     

豫南大别山北麓姚冲钼矿床辉钼矿Re-Os同位素年龄及其地质意义

河南省新县姚冲钼矿床是大别山北麓近期新发现的外接触带斑岩型钼矿床,矿体主要赋存于花岗斑岩体(脉)外接触带的元古宇大别片麻杂岩中,主要受隐伏岩体和构造控制。成矿可分为石英-钾长石、辉钼矿-钾长石-石英、辉钼矿-石英、方解石4个阶段,有经济意义的矿化为辉钼矿-钾长石-石英、辉钼矿-石英2个阶段。本次利用电感耦合等离子体质谱仪TJA X-series ICPMS对姚冲钼矿床6件辉钼矿样品进行了Re-Os同位素年龄测定,获得Re-Os等时线年龄为136.9±1.20Ma、模式年龄加权平均为137.19±0.79Ma,准确厘定其成矿时代为早白垩世。通过对姚冲钼矿床辉钼矿Re同位素及矿石硫同位素组成特征的研究,认为姚冲钼矿床的成矿物质主要来源于下地壳,并混有少量的地幔组分。结合前人在大别山北麓的研究成果,认为大别山北麓存在140 Ma左右和127~110Ma两期钼成矿事件,这两期成矿作用的时限与东秦岭第二期和第三期成矿时限基本一致。它们是印支期后大别造山带构造体制从挤压收缩向区域性伸展转化直至岩石圈强烈伸展减薄的地球动力学响应。     

东秦岭钼矿带成矿特征及其与美国克莱马克斯-亨德森钼矿带的对比

东秦岭钼矿带是中国最主要的钼矿带,钼矿呈近东西向展布。钼矿以斑岩型为主,从南到北,钼矿带钼矿大体有斑岩Cu-Mo矿、斑岩Mo矿、斑岩Au-Mo矿分带的趋势,与从俯冲带到克拉通边缘斑岩Cu矿、斑岩Cu-Mo矿、斑岩Mo矿依次发育的分带现象相似,表明钼矿的形成与扬子地块向华北地块俯冲有关。根据钼矿Re-Os年龄资料统计钼矿分为～220Ma、～140Ma和～110Ma三期,其成矿动力学背景分别为碰撞造山、碰撞造山后伸展和中国东部岩石圈减薄。钼矿流体包裹体均一温度介于83℃～424℃;平衡盐度介于0.61%～42.5%。流体包裹体水的δD介于-100‰～-40‰,δ18OH2O介于-4.3‰～8.7‰;且从成矿早期到晚期流体包裹体水的δD和δ18OH2O分别变小,表明钼矿的成矿流体主要来源于岩浆,后期有大气水的加入。东秦岭钼矿的铅同位素为206Pb/204Pb=17.12～17.89、207Pb/204Pb=15.23～15.70、208Pb/204Pb=37.57～39.10,与区域下地壳铅同位素一致;小斑岩体的Sri=0.705～0.714,δ18O=7.2‰～12.1‰,与I型花岗岩的锶、氧同位素相一致,表明钼矿的成矿物质主要来源于下地壳。东秦岭钼矿带的钼资源总量占中国钼资源的51%以上,美国克莱马克斯-亨德森钼矿带(Climax and Hender-son)的钼资源总量占美国钼矿资源的42%以上,美国和中国的钼资源在世界上的排名分别为第一和第二位,两钼矿带是世界钼资源高度集中的两个区域。克莱马克斯-亨德森钼矿带位于美国中西部、美洲克拉通西缘;钼矿主要形成于33～18Ma,稍晚于拉腊米(Laramide,75～54Ma)陆内造山运动;钼矿形成于碰撞造山后伸展环境。东秦岭与克莱马克斯两钼矿带相比:1)两钼矿带都位于克拉通边缘;2)两钼矿带的钼矿化都形成于陆内碰撞造山之后的伸展环境,与成矿有关的岩体都为花岗斑岩小岩体;3)两钼矿带钼矿的辉钼矿平均丰度分别为0.073%～0.140%和0.171%～0.264%,东秦岭钼矿的丰度明显较低;4)两钼矿带钼矿的辉钼矿成矿温度分别为300～400℃和460～600℃,东秦岭钼矿明显较低,反映与其成矿有关的岩浆的侵位深度较浅。通过两钼矿带间的综合对比得出:克拉通边缘经历陆内碰撞造山作用后在伸展环境下有利于斑岩钼矿的形成;与钼矿有关的小斑岩体岩浆的侵位深度影响钼矿中辉钼矿的丰度,岩浆的侵出深度越深其钼矿的辉钼矿品位越高。

陕西省镇安县桂林沟斑岩型钼矿床位于南秦岭多金属成矿带内,其成矿围岩主要为细粒花岗岩、钾长花岗岩和蚀变的粗粒花岗岩。本文通过对桂林沟斑岩型钼矿床中辉钼矿Re-Os同位素定年以及围岩中锆石U-Pb年代学研究,旨在探讨成矿成岩的关系及其构造意义。结果表明,6件辉钼矿的Re-Os同位素年龄在195.9~198.5Ma之间,加权平均年龄为197.2±1.3Ma,表明桂林沟钼矿形成于早侏罗世。围岩细粒花岗岩、钾长花岗岩和粗粒花岗岩的锆石U-Pb年龄分别为199±1.4Ma、201±3.1Ma和198±11Ma,这说明其成岩和成矿年龄基本一致。值得注意的的是,桂林沟钼矿床的形成年龄不同于前人已报导的秦岭钼矿的三个主要成矿期,即238~213Ma、145~126Ma和116~110Ma,其稍晚于第一成矿期。200~190Ma可能代表了秦岭成矿带一期尚未认识的重要成矿事件,对于南秦岭找矿具有重要意义。该期钼矿形成于秦岭印支期碰撞之后,是在造山带垮塌引起的岩浆-热液事件过程中形成的。     

西藏工布江达地区亚贵拉铅锌钼矿床辉钼矿Re-Os测年及其地质意义

为确定念青唐古拉成矿带斑岩型矿床的成矿时间,对亚贵拉铅锌钼多金属矿集区斑岩钼矿的5件辉钼矿样品进行了Re-Os同位素分析,所获辉钼矿模式年龄在（64.27±0.90）～（65.97±1.13）Ma范围内,等时线年龄为（65.0±1.9）Ma（MSWD=3.2）。亚贵拉辉钼矿属主碰撞期成矿,成矿与短期内大规模的岩浆活动有关,暗示念青唐古拉—冈底斯地区存在大规模的主碰撞期成矿作用。
