五台山绿岩带主要金矿类型及构造控矿规律探讨

依据构造控矿为成矿主因、矿源层是物质基础,将五台山绿岩带金矿划分为3种主要类型:与次级褶皱有关的条带状铁建造型金矿床、与剪切变形有关的变质中酸性火山沉积岩型金矿床、与剪切变形有关的变质砾岩型金矿床.这些不同类型的金矿床构造控矿特征明显.五台山绿岩带的区域性倒转复式向斜构造制约了含矿带呈NEE向展布,大型紧闭褶皱转折端控制了矿床的定位,与紧闭褶皱伴生的剪切变形及次级褶皱控制着矿体的规模、形态和产状,剪切裂隙控制着金矿脉的分布和金矿化的局部富集.紧闭褶皱倒转翼部(近转折端)的剪切变形是五台山绿岩带金矿构造控矿的普遍规律.矿源层是物质基础,而经历了紧闭褶皱及伴生的剪切变形带叠加改造的矿源层才是最佳的成矿和找矿靶区.文章以构造控矿理论为指导,重点剖析了典型矿床的构造控矿特征,深入探讨了控矿构造对矿床定位、规模大小、矿体形态、富集程度的制约,认为褶皱与剪切变形不仅在于控矿,而且其本身就是一种重要的成矿作用,进而总结了五台山绿岩带金矿构造控矿的普遍规律.     

国外超大型浅变质细碎屑岩型金矿床的地质特征

国外浅变质碎屑岩型金矿床的含矿岩系以含碳和黄铁矿,夹火山物质和热水沉积物,金含量高为特征.在含矿岩系的沉积、成岩过程中,局部可以形成贫金的含矿层,少数情况下以至于形成金矿体.含矿岩系的变质作用可能形成金矿化,或为后来的成矿作用造成有利的物理和化学环境.岩浆作用为成矿作用提供了部分成矿物质,或为改造成矿作用提供热源和动力.金矿床受构造控制,位于地热正异常区,金矿床的形成与热水沉积成矿作用、变质成矿作用、岩浆期后热液成矿作用和大气降水改造成矿作用等有关.超大型浅变质碎屑岩金矿床的形成过程持续时间长,具有多期多阶段的特点.改造成矿作用在超大型浅变质细碎屑岩型金矿床形成中起重要作用,中生代形成的超大型金矿床中,构造岩浆活化作用叠加十分重要.     

南秦岭汉阴北部金矿田控矿要素研究及找矿方向建议

选取南秦岭汉阴北部金矿田内黄龙、长沟和金斗坡典型矿区为研究区,通过野外大比例尺构造-岩相填图、剖面实测、综合编图等工作,结合前人研究成果,查明了金矿田的控矿要素,并指出了有利的找矿勘探方向。综合研究表明,汉阴北部金矿田的矿化严格受控于志留系梅子垭组的不同岩性段;脆-韧性剪切带控制了矿床的空间分布,次级断层控制矿体产出的具体部位;S₂面理对金矿化有显著的制约作用;促使石榴子石和黑云母变斑晶发育的热变质作用能够引起原始岩层中金元素发生活化,且热变质作用的晚期为退变质期,退变质期的适宜温度有利于金元素富集成矿。矿田内的金矿勘探应重点选在脆-韧性剪切带内,尤其针对不同岩性的接触面、次级断层面附近、石榴子石与黑云母变斑晶密集发育区周缘等区域,矿体追索方向应依照S₂面理的空间优势展布方向。      

Nature and source of the ore-forming fluids associated with orogenic gold deposits in the Dharwar Craton

Neoarchean orogenic gold deposits, associated with the greenstone-granite milieus in the Dharwar Craton include(1) the famous Kolar mine and the world class Hutti deposit;(2) small mines at HiraBuddini, Uti, Ajjanahalli, and Guddadarangavanahalli;(3) prospects at Jonnagiri; and(4) old mining camps in the Gadag and Ramagiri-Penakacherla belts. The existing diametric views on the source of ore fluid for formation of these deposits include fluids exsolved from granitic melts and extracted by metamorphic devolatilization of the greenstone sequences. Lode gold mineralization occurs in structurally controlled higher order splays in variety of host rocks such as mafic/felsic greenstones, banded iron formations, volcaniclastic rocks and granitoids. Estimated metamorphic conditions of the greenstones vary from lower greenschist facies to mid-amphibolite facies and mineralizations in all the camps are associated with distinct hydrothermal alterations. Fluid inclusion microthermometric and Raman spectroscopic studies document low salinity aqueous-gaseous(H_2O + CO_2 ± CH_4 + NaCl) ore fluids,which precipitated gold and altered the host rocks in a narrow P-T window of 0.7-2.5 kbar and 215-320℃. While the calculated fluid O-and C-isotopic values are ambiguous, S-isotopic compositions of pyrite-precipitating fluid show distinct craton-scale uniformity in terms of its reduced nature and a suggested crustal sulfur source.Available ages on greenstone metamorphism, granitoid plutonism and mineralization in the Hutti Belt are tantamount, making a geochronology-based resolution of the existing debate on the metamorphic vs.magmatic fluid source impossible. In contrast, tourmaline geochemistry suggests involvement of single fluid in formation of gold mineralization, primarily derived by metamorphic devolatilization of mafic greenstones and interlayered sedimentary rocks, with minor magmatic contributions. Similarly, compositions of scheelite, pyrite and arsenopyrite point toward operation of fault-valves that caused pressure fluctuation-induced fluid phase separation, which acted as the dominant process of gold precipitation,apart from fluid-rock sulfidation reactions. Therefore, results from geochemistry of hydrothermal minerals and those from fluid inclusion microthermometry corroborate in constraining source of ore fluid,nature of gold transport(by Au-bisulfide complex) and mechanism of gold ore formation in the Dharwar Craton.     

Recognition of Yanshanian magmatic-hydrothermal gold and polymetallic gold mineralization in the Laowan gold metallogenic belt,Tongbai Mountains: New evidence from structural controls,geochronology and geochemistry

The Laowan metallogenic belt in China is an important metallogenic belt within the Tongbai orogenic belt, and contains the medium-sized Laowan and Shangshanghe gold deposits, the small Huangzhuyuan lead–zinc–silver–gold deposit and some gold and Cu–Pb occurrences. These deposits are hosted in Mesoproterozoic plagioclase amphibolite (or schist) and mica-quartz schist. The gold ores are mainly quartz veins and veinlets and disseminated altered ores. Subordinate ore types include massive sulfides and breccias. The Laowan gold deposit is characterized by three right-stepping en-echelon fracture-controlled alteration zones that dip gently to the south and includes disseminated, sheeted and stockwork ores. These lodes were formed by the interaction of ore-forming fluid with foliated-to laminated cataclasite within the transpressional faults. The Shangshanghe gold deposit is characterized by parallel ore lodes that dip steeply to the north, and includes quartz veins and breccias in addition to ores in altered wallrocks. These lodes were formed by focusing of fluids into transtensional faults. These ore controlling faults displaced early barren quartz veins 10 m horizontally with a dextral sense of motion. The ore-hosting structures at the Laowan and Shangshanghe deposits correspond to the P and R-type shears of a brittle dextral strike-slip fault system, respectively, which make angles of about 15° and − 15° to the Laowan and Songpa boundary faults. The ore-controlling fault system post-dated formation of a ductile shear zone, and peak regional metamorphism. This precludes a genetic relationship between hydrothermal mineralization and regional metamorphism and ductile shear deformation. These gold deposits are not typical orogenic gold deposits. The metallogenic belt displays district-scale-zoning of Mo → Cu–Pb–Zn–Ag → Au relative to Songpa granite porphyry dike zone, suggesting the mineralization may be closely related to the granite porphyry. Measured δ³⁴S of sulfides and δ¹⁸O and δD of fluid inclusion waters in auriferous quartz also are consistent with a magmatic source for sulfur and ore fluids. The similarity of Pb isotope ratios between the ores and Yanshanian granitoids suggests a similar source. As the age (139 ± 3 Ma) of granite porphyry obtained by zircon U–Pb isotope overlaps the mineralization age (138 ± 1 Ma: Zhang et al., 2008a), the gold and polymetallic metallogenesis of the Laowan gold belt has close spatial, temporal and possibly genetic relationships with Yanshanian high level magmatism.     

西秦岭礼县-太白地区金、铅锌矿床的地质地球化学

礼县一太白地区的金、铅锌矿床产于泥盆纪沉积盆地。它们都是沉积改造矿床,其含矿建造是中泥盆统或中上泥盆统。根据矿床的地质、地球化学特征,该地区的铅锌矿床可以分为２类,厂坝式和邓家山－八方山式矿床。金矿床可分３类,李坝式、八卦庙式和双王式矿床。厂坝式铅锌矿床产于强变质、弱变形地区,属于与变质作用有关的沉积改造型矿床。邓家山－八方山工区铅锌矿床产于强变形、弱变质地区,属于与构造动力作用有关的沉积改造型矿     

甘肃省迭部刀扎—舟曲憨班一带金矿找矿新认识

迭部刀扎—舟曲憨班一带已发现金矿床(点)与桑坝推覆体构造前缘的采古逆冲断裂具有密切的关系。该断裂不仅控制了含矿地层、岩浆岩的分布,而且是区内重要的控矿、容矿断裂。有规模的金矿体一般产在岩体的接触带上。金矿化与硅化、黄(褐)铁矿化、黄铜矿化关系密切。由此而提出了在该区带进一步找矿的主要地质标志。     

山东栖霞杨家夼金矿地质特征及控矿条件分析

杨家夼金矿产于粉子山群张格庄组、蓬莱群豹山口组地层中,从其控矿岩性及矿化特征来看应为类卡林型金矿床。地层主要以大理岩、透闪大理岩、透闪片岩、钙质板岩、千枚状板岩、黑云变粒岩、二云片岩为主。金矿主要赋存于岩性变化复杂的薄层状大理岩、透闪大理岩、板岩、透闪片岩中,除岩性控矿外,构造也具有明显的控矿性,当断裂构造切穿或与这些成矿有利岩性叠加时,金矿化更为明显,而岩性分界线或层间破碎带也是该类金矿的有利赋存部位。     

中南地区金矿分布规律浅议

本文就我国中南4省区金矿分布的一般规律及金成矿地质条件进行了初步探讨,提出中南地区金矿分布5大规律:空间上集中分布具一定的统一性;赋矿层位多为古老的变质岩系;在空间分布和成因上与岩浆岩密切相关;金成矿在赋矿围岩上虽无较大的选择性,但仍偏重基性火山岩和侵入岩以及有机质、炭质高的沉积岩和变质岩;金的成矿期主要是从前寒武纪到中生代。文章并以部分典型矿床为例,论述了中南4省区金矿控矿因素除矿源层(体)、岩浆岩、构造这3个要素外,还应将深部液态矿源层及区域变质作用视为同等重要的控制因素。

胶东中生代金成矿系统

胶东是我国最重要的金矿集区,其内已发现金矿床150余处,探明金资源储量4000余吨。虽然其金矿床数量众多、资源储量巨大、分布地域广泛、产出空间各异、矿化类型多样,但它们的成矿地球动力学背景、赋矿围岩环境与产出条件及其成矿作用特征总体一致:(1)胶东是一个主要由前寒武纪基底岩石和超高压变质岩块组成、中生代构造-岩浆作用发育的内生热液金矿集区,约130~110Ma的金成矿事件比区域变质作用晚约2000Myr;(2)区域金成矿系统形成于早白垩世的陆缘伸展构造背景,大规模金成矿事件发生在区域NW向伸展转换为NE向伸展后的NEE向挤压变形作用过程中,对应于中国东部岩石圈大规模减薄、华北克拉通破坏和大陆裂谷作用的高峰;(3)金矿床群聚于NNE向玲珑、鹊山和昆嵛山变质核杂岩周边,主要沿前寒武纪变质岩与中生代花岗岩体接触带形成的区域NE-NNE向拆离断层带分布;(4)控矿断裂带经历了早期的韧-脆性变形和晚期的脆性变形构造叠加,在三维空间上呈舒缓波状延展,控制了金矿体的侧伏和分段富集;(5)矿化样式以破碎带蚀变(砾)岩型、(硫化物-)石英脉型和复合脉带型为主,矿石普遍发育压碎、晶粒状和填隙结构,浸染状、细脉浸染状、网脉状、脉状、团块状和块状构造,反映其形成于韧-脆性→脆性变形环境;(6)矿石中金属矿物以黄铁矿、黄铜矿、方铅矿和闪锌矿为主,非金属矿物以石英、绢云母、钾长石、斜长石和方解石为主;金矿物以银金矿和自然金为主、含少量金银矿,主要以可见金的形式赋存于黄铁矿和石英裂隙中、含少量晶隙金和包体金;热液蚀变主要为黄铁矿化、硅化、钾长石化、绢云母化和碳酸盐化;成矿元素为Au-Ag(-Cu-Pb-Zn);呈现出中-低温蚀变矿化组合特征;(7)成矿流体为壳-幔混合来源,以壳源变质流体为主;成矿物质总体来源于中生代活化再造的前寒武纪变质基底岩石,并混入了少量浅部地壳和地幔组分。这种区域成矿特征的一致性,表明胶东金矿集区早白垩世大规模金成矿作用受控于统一的地质事件,属于后生的中-低温热液脉金成矿系统。这些金矿床具有明显的时空群聚分布特征,主要沿三个变质核杂岩周边的岩相接触带产出,且自西向东,金成矿作用年龄由老变新。据此,可划分为胶北隆起蚀变岩-石英脉型、苏鲁超高压变质带硫化物-石英脉型和胶莱盆地北缘蚀变砾岩型三个金成矿子系统。其矿化样式由浸染-细脉、细脉-网脉型和石英脉型→硫化物-石英脉型→蚀变(角)砾岩型变化,矿石结构、构造以细脉浸染状构造为主→环带结构与梳状构造→角砾状构造为特色,反映其成矿作用分别发生于脆-韧性转换带(约15km)→脆性张剪性断裂带→脆性角砾岩带(约5km)环境;矿化、蚀变规模和强度逐渐减弱,成矿物质中浅部壳源组分逐渐增多,可能与其矿床定位空间越来越远离源区有关;成矿温度和压力依次降低、成矿流体中大气降水和/或盆地卤水贡献逐渐增大,与其成矿深度越来越浅、成矿构造环境越来越偏张性的变化趋势一致。这种成矿特征的区域规律性变化反映至少在拆离断层韧-脆性转换带附近→脆性角砾岩带之间的地壳剖面中、在不同的垂向深度上连续成矿。胶东中生代金成矿系统的上述特征明显区别于典型的"与侵入岩有关的金矿"和"造山型金矿",也不同于全球其它已知的金矿床类型,不能被已有成矿模式所涵盖。为合理解释胶东中生代金成矿系统独特的地质与成矿特征,我们提出新的"胶东型金矿"成矿模式,指出古太平洋Izanagi俯冲板片的回转作用可能是引起区域前寒武纪变质基底岩石中成矿物质大规模活化再造的主要驱动机制,成矿流体主体来源于俯冲板片变质脱水,金可能主要以Au(HS)2-络合物的形式在流体中沿拆离断层系输运,在韧-脆性转换带附近→脆性角砾岩带,由于构造空间急剧增大、成矿流体的温度和压力突然降低,CO2、H2S逸出和硫化作用导致Au(HS)2-等金络合物失稳分解,金大规模沉淀富集成矿。     

Suture zones of the Urals as integral prospective ore-bearing tectonic structures

Rift-related (1.2 Ga) and collision (380–240 Ma) suture zones of the Urals are described. The riftrelated suture zones comprise an ultramafic-gabbro complex with titanomagnetite mineralization, an ultramafic complex with chromite mineralization, and a complex of alkali granitoids with rare-metal (including REE) mineralization accompanied by K-feldspathites, albitites, and calcite metasomatic rocks. The collision suture zones are distinguished by early collision granitoids specialized for tungsten (scheelite) and gold, as well as by raremetal granites and such derivatives of them as pegmatite and greisen with rare-metal and colored-stone mineralization. The suture zones are characterized by long-term (up to 80 Ma or more) continuous-discontinuous periods of ore deposition; heterogeneous sources of ore matter and ore-bearing fluids; a polyelemental composition of lithogeochemical halos and an integral mineral composition of altered wall rocks; and the occurrence of mafic, intermediate, and felsic dikes at large gold deposits, as well as wide variations in PT parameters of the ore-forming process: T = 620?150°C and P = 3.2?0.6 kbar. Collision played a dual role in ore formation. On the one hand, collision led to deformation and metamorphism of precollision massive sulfide deposits and, to a lesser degree, Au-bearing Fe and Cu skarn and porphyry copper deposits, and, on the other hand, to the formation of new gold, rare-metal, quartz, colored-stone, talc, muscovite, and noble serpentine deposits. As a rule, this polygenetic mineralization differs in age and is related to collision volcanic and plutonic complexes. This diversity can be a good basis for metallogenic analysis, forecasting, and prospecting of various metallic deposits and industrial minerals. Polygenetic mineralization of various age known in suture zones is accompanied by integral lithogeochemical and metasomatic halos characterized by a continuous-discontinuous history. The complexity of ore mineralization and often nonlinear metallogeny increase the practical value of suture zones.

LA-ICP-MS trace element analysis of pyrite from the Xiaoqinling gold district, China: Implications for ore genesis

The Xiaoqinling district, the second largest gold producing district in China, is located on the southern margin of the North China Craton. It consists of three ore belts, namely, the northern ore belt, the middle ore belt and the southern ore belt. Pyrite from the Dahu gold deposit in the northern ore belt and Wenyu and Yinxin gold deposits in the southern ore belt were investigated using a combination of ore microscopy and in-situ laser-ablation inductively-coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). A range of trace elements was analyzed, including Au, Te, Ag, Pb, Bi, Cu, Co, Ni, Zn, Mo, Hg, As and Si. The results show that there are no systematic differences between the trace element compositions of pyrite in the three deposits from different ore belts. In general, Au concentrations in pyrite are low (from < 0.01 ppm to 2.2 ppm) but Ni concentrations are rather high (up to 8425 ppm). A four-stage mineralization process is indicated by microscopic and field observations and this can be related to the systematic trace element differences between distinct generations of pyrite. Stage I precedes the main gold mineralization stage; pyrite of this stage has the lowest Au concentrations. Stages II and III contributed most of the gold to the ore-forming system. The corresponding pyrite yielded the highest concentrations of Au and Ni. Our microscopic observations suggest that pyrite in the main gold mineralization stage precipitated simultaneously with molybdenite that has been previously dated as Indosinian (~ 218 Ma by Re–Os molybdenite dating), indicating the Indosinian as the main gold mineralization stage. The Indosinian mineralization age and the geological and geochemical features of these gold deposits (e.g., low salinity, CO₂-rich ore fluids; spatial association with large-scale compressional structures of the Qinling orogen; δ¹⁸O and δD data suggestive of mixing between metamorphic and meteoric waters; δ³⁴S and Pb-isotopic data that point to a mixed crustal-mantle source) all point to typical orogenic-type gold deposits. High Ni concentrations (up to 8425 ppm) of pyrite possibly linked to deep-seated mafic/ultramafic metamorphic rocks provide further evidence on the orogenic gold deposit affinity, but against the model of a granitic derivation of the mineralizing fluid as previously suggested by some workers. Generally low Au concentration in pyrite is also consistent with those from worldwide orogenic gold deposits. Therefore, the gold mineralization in the Xiaoqinling district is described as orogenic type, and is probably related to Indosinian collision between the North China Craton and the Yangtze Craton.     

胶东大庄子构造角砾岩型金矿床地质地球化学特征及其成矿流体来源探讨

大庄子金矿受胶莱盆地边缘发育于荆山群内的顺层状低角度断裂带控制,以大理岩质碎裂岩及角砾岩等张性构造岩胶结物发生矿化为特点.容矿岩石与成矿流体具有强烈的物质交换,矿化与SiO2、Fe2O3、Na2O及As、Cd、Hg、Cu、Pb等元素关系密切.矿石具有富集轻稀土元素、铕正异常的特征,其稀土元素特征和基性脉岩具有一定的相似性,又具有原岩的一些特点,表明容矿岩石受到了深部成矿流体的影响.硫、铅、碳-氧及氢-氧等同位素地球化学及流体包裹体研究显示,成矿物质较复杂,成矿流体来源于地壳深部或上地幔的岩浆热液,在成矿作用中,萃取了部分围岩,并与围岩发生了强烈反应.     

Multistage gold mineralization at the Lapa mine, Abitibi Subprovince: insights into auriferous hydrothermal and metasomatic processes in the Cadillac–Larder Lake Fault Zone

The Lapa gold deposit contains reserves of 2.4 Mt at 6.5 g/t Au and is one of the few deposits located directly within the Cadillac–Larder Lake Fault Zone (CLLFZ), a first-order crustal-scale fault that separates the Archean Abitibi Subprovince from the Pontiac Subprovince to the south. Gold mineralization is predominantly hosted in highly strained and altered, upper greenschist–lower amphibolite facies mafic to ultramafic rocks of the Piché Group. Auriferous ore zones consist of finely disseminated auriferous arsenopyrite–pyrrhotite?±?pyrite and native gold disseminated in biotite- and carbonate-altered wall rocks. Native gold, which is also present in quartz ± dolomite–calcite veinlets, is locally associated with Sb-bearing minerals, especially at depth ≤1 km from surface where the deposit is characterized by a Au–Sb–As association. At vertical depth greater than 1 km, gold is associated with arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite (Au–As association). The mineralogy and paragenesis of the Lapa deposit metamorphosed ore and alteration assemblages record the superposition of three metamorphic episodes (M1, M2, and M3) and three gold mineralizing events. Spatial association between biotitized wall rocks and auriferous arsenopyrite indicates that arsenopyrite precipitation is concomitant with potassic alteration. The predominant Au–As association recognized across the deposit is related to gold in solid solution in arsenopyrite as part of a pre-M2 low-grade auriferous hydrothermal event. However, the occurrence of hornblende?+?oligoclase porphyroblasts overprinting the biotite alteration, and the presence of porous clusters and porphyroblasts of arsenopyrite with native gold and pyrrhotite indicate an auriferous metasomatic event associated with peak M2 prograde metamorphism. Late retrograde metamorphism (M3) overprints the hornblende–oligoclase M2 assemblage within the host rocks proximal to ore by an actinolite–albite assemblage by precipitation of free gold and Sb–sulfosalts at lower P–T. The complex relationships between ore, structural features, and metamorphic assemblages at Lapa are related to the tectonometamorphic evolution of the Cadillac–Larder Lake Fault Zone at different times and crustal levels, and varying heat and fluid flow regimes. The Lapa deposit demonstrates that early, low-grade gold mineralization within the Cadillac–Larder Lake Fault Zone has benefited from late gold enrichment(s) during prograde and retrograde metamorphism, suggesting that multi-stage processes may be important to form gold-rich orogenic deposits in first order crustal-scale structures.     

Minerals of the Au-Ag-Pb-Te-Se-S system of porphyry-copper-molybdenum deposits from the Nakhodka ore field, Chukchi Peninsula, Russia

The Nakhodka ore field located 220 km south of the Bilibino town, Chukchi Peninsula, Russia comprises Cu-Mo-porphyry (Malysh and Vesennii) and Mo-Cu-porphyry (Nakhodka, III Vesennii) deposits. The late epithermal mineralization with native gold of low fineness (498?C766) of the first group deposits refers to the IS (intermediate sulfidation) type, which is characterized by the occurrence of petzite; stutzite; acanthite; pearceite; and minerals of the Pb-Bi-Ag-Se-Te, Ag-Te-Se, and Ag-Bi-Se systems, as well as by native tellurium. The epithermal mineralization forms at fTe₂(?19...?18) and fS₂(?14...?13) and temperatures <200°C. The second group deposits do not exhibit epithermal mineralization; telluride mineralization is present as only native tellurium and altaite.     

肖板及其外围金矿成矿规律与找矿方向

肖板及外围地区是闽中"金三角",矿点(床)众多。该区有利的成矿、控矿构造条件、麻源群变质岩以及燕山早期岩浆活动是金矿成矿的最重要因素,也是找矿的主要标志。金矿床以与燕山早期岩浆岩有关的岩浆热液型为主,矿化类型以构造蚀变岩型为主。肖板、龙门场、杨梅、徐州、岭头坪、葛坑是有利的找矿远景区,特别是火山拗陷区内的金矿点或小型金矿床集中区,应注意寻找盖层之下基底变质岩系中与肖坂类似的大、中型金矿床。
