虹螺山一带花岗岩类含钼性的矿物学标志

通过对虹螺山一带酸性花岗岩类副矿物的研究,获得了一些岩体含钼性的矿物学标志。 区内含钼岩体最典型的副矿物组合是黄铜矿-锆石-金红石(白钛石)-辉钼矿型或硫化矿物-辉钼矿-锆石-磷灰石型。这种组合类型以含磁铁矿极微,且赤铁矿量大于磁铁矿,钛矿物中出现大凰白钛石或金红石,辉钼矿、黄铜矿等硫化矿物增多为其特征。含矿岩体副矿物明显具有多期性和多世代性。在形态上普遍成破碎颗粒状,特别是当锆石出现扁板晶、歪晶等形态时,对区内寻找钼矿具有标志意义。副矿物中钼浓度显著增高是岩体含钼性的微量元素标志,早期晶出的锆石等副矿物食钼较高,标示岩体有钼成矿的可能性,而辉钼矿的大量出现或其他金属硫化物含钼较高则可视为钼成矿的直接标志。含矿岩体和非含矿岩体中磁铁矿、磷灰石晶胞参数有规律性地变化,也是岩体含钼性的一种矿物学标志。

小秦岭地区大湖-秦南钼矿床矿化类型、Re-Os定年及找矿方向

小秦岭地区大湖—秦南钼矿床位于华北地台南缘,属于小秦岭-外方山成矿亚带。矿化类型可分为含钼次生石英岩型和细脉浸染型。含钼次生石英岩型矿石构造有角砾状构造、团块状构造、蜂窝状构造、细脉网脉状构造和块状构造;蚀变以细脉浸染状钾化、硅化、碳酸盐化、高岭土化、硬石膏化为特征。细脉浸染型矿化通常与花岗质岩石关系密切,偶尔也见于含钼次生石英脉边部的片麻岩中;蚀变通常为钾化、硅化、绢云母化和少量的黄铁矿化、高岭土化、碳酸盐化等。含钼次生石英岩型含有含钼花岗质岩石角砾。野外证据表明,含钼花岗质岩石向含钼次生石英岩内部表现为,含钼花岗质岩石角砾逐渐变小,并逐渐被含钼次生石英岩包裹,含钼石英脉增厚,高岭土化、硬石膏化增强。这一特征反映了二者之间的成因联系。两种矿化类型中获得的12件辉钼矿Re-Os模式年龄分别为（223.6±4.1）~（196.1±3.0）Ma以及（197.8±3.2）和（196.1±3.3）Ma,Re-Os同位素等时线年龄为（199+14/-25）Ma。这些年龄数据表明,该区的成矿作用发生于印支期或早燕山期。钼矿化时空上与花岗斑岩脉和正长斑岩一致,含钼花岗质岩石的矿化和蚀变样式与斑岩型矿床类似。辉钼矿中w（Re）为0.894×10^-6~2.964×10^-6,反映钼成矿物质来源于地壳。这一时期,区域上以碱性岩岩脉产出为特征,因此本区成矿作用形成于陆内伸展环境下,应注意找寻与印支期花岗质岩石有关的斑岩型钼矿床。

含辉钼矿全岩样品Re-Os同位素定年研究:在北京大庄科钼矿床中的应用

采用硝酸在比色管中对辉钼矿样品中Re含量进行初测的方法,测得辉钼矿标准样品JDC Re含量与推荐值在误差范围内基本一致,与传统的Carius管法相比,该方法具有简便快速的特点。传统的辉钼矿Re-Os同位素定年分析对象为辉钼矿单矿物,根据所测得的187Re/187Os值获得辉钼矿的Re-Os年龄,Re、Os在辉钼矿中大量富集,而在硅酸盐矿物中几乎没有,探索性地对含有辉钼矿的全岩样品进行Re-Os同位素定年,虽然所得Re、Os含量偏低,但187Re/187Os值不会变。该方法省去了选样过程花费的大量时间,避免了选样过程中可能造成的交叉污染。采用同位素稀释Carius管逆王水法探索性地对北京大庄科钼矿床中含辉钼矿全岩样品进行Re-Os同位素年龄测定,获得了(137.6±3.7)Ma精确的等时线年龄,与挑选出辉钼矿单矿物样品的Re-Os同位素等时线年龄(136.8±2.6)Ma吻合较好,直接厘定了大庄科钼矿的成矿时代。该年龄与矿区汉家川石英二长岩锆石U-Pb年龄一致,表明大庄科钼矿的形成与汉家川石英二长岩关系较为密切,为中国东部第二期大规模成矿作用的产物,形成于中国东部岩石圈伸展环境。     

Macroscale NTIMS and microscale LA-MC-ICP-MS Re-Os isotopic analysis of molybdenite: Testing spatial restrictions for reliable Re-Os age determinations, and implications for the decoupling of Re and Os within molybdenite

We present a detailed study of Re-Os age determinations for eight natural molybdenite samples of like polytype (2H), spanning a range of age, natural grain size and deposit type. The focus of the study is to critically evaluate the effects of sampling, sample preparation and aliquant size on the accuracy and reproducibility of Re-Os ages for these molybdenite samples. We find that for some molybdenite samples, analysis of small sample aliquants (<20 mg) may not yield accurate or reproducible Re-Os ages, whereas analysis of larger aliquants from the same mineral separate do yield reproducible Re-Os dates. Such an observation is best explained if Re and ¹⁸⁷Os are internally decoupled within molybdenite grains. This finding is supported from spot analyses by laser ablation MC-ICP-MS analyses presented here and is consistent with previously published observations.The degree of decoupling between Re and ¹⁸⁷Os appears to increase both as a function of increasing grain size, and increasing age of molybdenite. From detailed dating of individual molybdenite mineral separates, we provide approximate minimum aliquant amounts required for reproducible Re-Os age dating, as a function of molybdenite age and grain size. Geologically younger, naturally fine-grained molybdenite samples appear to show little Re and ¹⁸⁷Os decoupling, and reproducible ages can be determined from some samples with as little as 1 mg of aliquant. Geologically old, and coarse-grained molybdenite samples may require as much as 40 mg of aliquant from a much larger mineral separate to overcome Re and ¹⁸⁷Os decoupling. The mechanism(s) of Re and ¹⁸⁷Os decoupling within molybdenite is not constrained by this results of this study, but the observation that the degree of decoupling increases with grain size (distance) and age (time/geologic history) may suggest primary diffusive control. Assuming that Re and ¹⁸⁷Os decoupling in molybdenite results primarily from diffusion of ¹⁸⁷Os, apparent diffusion coefficients are calculated (D = x²/t). Estimates of D for Os made in this way range from 2.8 × 10⁻²⁶ to 2.1 × 10⁻²¹ m²/s, which are broadly similar to experimentally derived diffusion coefficients for Os in Fe-sulfide minerals and for Re in molybdenite at temperatures <500°C.     

Subgrain-scale decoupling of Re and Os and assessment of laser ablation ICP-MS spot dating in molybdenite

Reproducibility of Re-Os molybdenite ages depends on sample size and homogeneity, suggesting that Re and Os are decoupled within individual molybdenite crystals and do not remain spatially linked over time. In order to investigate the Re-Os systematics of molybdenite at the subgrain (micron) scale, we report LA-ICP-MS Re-Os ages for an Archean molybdenite crystal from Aittojärvi, Finland, analyzed in situ in a white aplite matrix. A related Aittojärvi molybdenite (A996D), in the form of a very fine-grained mineral separate, is used as one of our in-house NTIMS standards, and thus its age of 2760 ± 9 Ma is well established. Measurements of (¹⁸⁷Re + ¹⁸⁷Os)/¹⁸⁵Re on micron scale spots along 200 μm traverses across the crystal yield a wide range of ages demonstrating that, in this case, microsampling of molybdenite does not produce geologically meaningful ages. Experimentation with mineral separations and sample size over a 7-yr period predicted that this would be the outcome. We suggest that ¹⁸⁷Os is more likely to be the mobile species, based on its charge and ionic radius, and that ¹⁸⁷Os becomes decoupled from parent ¹⁸⁷Re with time on the micron and larger scale. Incompatible charge and ionic radius for Os ions formed during reduction of molybdenite-forming fluids may explain the widely observed absence of common (initial) Os in molybdenite. Geologically accurate ages for molybdenite can only be obtained for fully homogenized crystals (or crystal aggregates) so that any post-crystallization ¹⁸⁷Re-¹⁸⁷Os decoupling is overcome.A growing number of geologically accurate ID-NTIMS ¹⁸⁷Re-¹⁸⁷Os ages for homogenized molybdenite suggest that postcrystallization mobility of radiogenic ¹⁸⁷Os must be limited to within the molybdenite mineral phase. We suggest that radiogenic ¹⁸⁷Os may be stored in micron scale dislocations, kink bands, and delamination cracks produced by deformation, and that the unusual structure and deformation response of molybdenite results in an increased chemical stability in this mineral. Migration of ¹⁸⁷Os into adjacent silicate phases is highly unlikely, but other contacting sulfides may take in Os. In an example from a Proterozoic skarn deposit at Pitkäranta (western Russia), we demonstrate minor loss of radiogenic ¹⁸⁷Os from molybdenite and a corresponding gain in adjacent chalcopyrite such that the molybdenite age is not perceptibly disturbed, whereas the resulting chalcopyrite ages are impossibly old. Therefore, it is unadvisable to perform Re-Os analytical work on any sulfide in contact or intimate association with molybdenite. In addition to large errors in the age, if the isochron method is employed, initial ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios could be erroneously high, leading to seriously errant genetic interpretations.     

Molybdenite Mineralization and Re‐Os Geochronology of the Escondida and Escondida Norte Porphyry Deposits,Northern Chile

Molybdenum is an economically important subproduct of North Chilean porphyry‐type deposits, and thus spatial and temporal distribution of molybdenite as the primary Mo‐bearing mineral in the Escondida and Escondida Norte deposits were characterized using several mineralogical and chemical techniques and the Re‐Os dating method. Molybdenum is distributed extensively in the two deposits, and high molybdenum concentrations (>500 ppm) are recognized particularly in the chlorite‐sericite transitional zone between the potassic and sericitic zones. Two modes of occurrence of molybdenite are observed in the Escondida deposit: aggregates with Cu‐Fe‐sulfide minerals in fine veinlets (sulfide‐veinlet type), and monomineralic microveinlets associated with NE‐trending faults. The former and the latter yielded ages of 36.1 ± 0.2 Ma and 35.2 ± 0.2 Ma, respectively. Re‐Os dating of Escondida Norte molybdenites also show two distinct episodes, at 37.7 ± 0.3 Ma and a younger episode at 36.6 ± 0.2 Ma. These data indicate that the Escondida Norte is older than the main Escondida deposit. The Re‐Os age data combined with those of the porphyry emplacement suggest that the molybdenite mineralization in the Escondida district occurred as several short episodic pulses during the late‐magmatic to hydrothermal transition, and that the Cu‐Mo deposits were formed in a variable overall period spanning 1 to 5 m.y.     

东秦岭地区钼矿床中辉钼矿的铼含量及多型特征

辉钼矿是铼的最主要载体矿物。研究表明,东秦岭地区不同类型钼矿床中,辉钼矿的Re平均含量多为10—20ppm,其中仅黄龙铺碳酸岩脉型钼(铅)矿床的辉钼矿平均含Re高达152.5ppm。尽管辉钼矿中的铼含量有变化,但均呈类质同象取代钼而存在。同时,这些矿床辉钼矿的铼含量差异,主要取决于成矿热流体中原始铼含量。辉钼矿多型有2H型和2H+3R混合型。铼含量和成矿温度对辉钼矿多型没有影响,故辉钼矿多型对于钼矿床类型没有标型意义。     

川南早三叠世砂页岩型铜矿床沉积环境、成矿模式及对峨眉山地幔柱成矿系统的补充

峨眉山地幔柱一直以来是国内外学者的研究热点之一,近年来对峨眉山地幔柱的成矿效应的关注度持续升高,但对提供成矿物源的矿床类型研究较少,特别是对砂页岩型铜矿的研究极少,砂页岩型铜矿稳定分布在沐川西部及西南部的飞仙关组底部,以往开展了大量的勘查工作,取得了较好的找矿成果,但其成矿物质来源还有较大争议。为厘清沐川地区飞仙关组底部砂页岩型铜矿床的富集规律、沉积环境和成因机制,本研究开展了野外实地调查、矿物学、岩相古地理与岩石地球化学等系统性研究,探讨其物源、富集规律、沉积环境,建立了成矿模式。研究结果表明,沐川地区砂页岩型铜矿体产出于早三叠世飞仙关组底部的一套灰绿色细碎屑岩中,主要矿石类型有粉砂质条带黏土岩型铜矿、泥质条带粉砂岩型铜矿、粉砂岩型铜矿和细砂岩型铜矿,矿石矿物以黄铜矿、斑铜矿、辉铜矿为主;沐川地区飞仙关组底部的沉积相属于有障壁型海岸相潮坪亚相,可识别出潮上泥坪微相、潮间混合坪微相、潮下砂坪微相和潮渠微相4种微相,Cu元素主要富集于粉砂质条带黏土岩和泥质条带粉砂岩等水动力条件较弱的潮间混合坪微相中,铜的富集严格受岩相古地理及沉积相的控制; Cu元素主要来源于峨眉山高钛玄武岩,西部的康滇古陆是主要的物源区;沐川地区飞仙关组底部砂页岩型铜矿属同生沉积型矿床,其成矿模式可分为峨眉山玄武岩喷溢（矿源层形成）阶段、风化剥蚀搬运阶段、沉积富集阶段和成岩保存阶段。上述成果,对西南地区进一步实现战略性矿产找矿突破和补充完善峨眉山地幔柱成矿系统具有重要意义。     

Geochronologic and isotope geochemical constraints on magmatism and associated W–Mo mineralization of the Jitoushan W–Mo deposit,middle–lower Yangtze Valley

The Jitoushan W–Mo ore body is a typical skarn-type deposit with the potential for porphyry Mo mineralization at depth. As it is newly discovered, only a few studies have been conducted on the geochronology and ore genesis of this deposit. The ore district consists of Cambrian to Silurian sedimentary and low-grade metasedimentary strata, intruded by granodiorite, diorite porphyry, granite porphyry, and quartz porphyry. Skarn W–Mo ore bodies are hosted in the contact zone between the granodiorite and Cambrian limestone strata. Within the granodiorite near the contact zone, quartz vein type and disseminated sulphide mineralization are well developed. The Mo-bearing granite porphyry has been traced at depth by drilling. Our results reveal two discrete magmatic events at ca. 138 and ca. 127 Ma in the study area. The molybdenite Re–Os isochronal age of 136.6 ± 1.5 million years is consistent with the first magmatic event. The zircon Hf isotope (?_Hf(t) =??12.55?3.91), sulphide isotopes (δ³⁴S = 3.32–5.59‰), and Re content of molybdenite (Re_content = 6.424–19.07 μg) indicate that the ore-forming materials were mainly derived from the deep crust. The regional tectonic system switched from a Late Jurassic transpressive regime to an earliest Cretaceous extensional regime at ca. 145 Ma, and at ca. 138 Ma, the Jitoushan W–Mo deposit formed in an extensional setting.     

U–Pb and Re–Os Geochronology of the Tongcun Molybdenum Deposit and Zhilingtou Gold‐Silver Deposit in Zhejiang Province,Southeast China,and Its Geological Implications

Mesozoic ore deposits in Zhejiang Province, Southeast China, are divided into the northwestern and southeastern Zhejiang metallogenic belts along the Jiangshan–Shaoxing Fault. The metal ore deposits found in these belts are epithermal Au–Ag deposits, hydrothermal‐vein Ag–Pb–Zn deposits, porphyry–skarn Mo (Fe) deposits, and vein‐type Mo deposits. There is a close spatial–temporal relationship between the Mesozoic ore deposits and Mesozoic volcanic–intrusive complexes. Zircon U–Pb dating of the ore‐related intrusive rocks and molybdenite Re–Os dating from two typical deposits (Tongcun Mo deposit and Zhilingtou Au–Ag deposit) in the two metallogenic belts show the early and late Yanshanian ages for mineralization. SIMS U–Pb data of zircons from the Tongcun Mo deposit and Zhilingtou Au–Ag deposit indicate that the host granitoids crystallized at 169.7 ± 9.7 Ma (2σ) and 113.6 ± 1 Ma (2σ), respectively. Re–Os analysis of six molybdenite samples from the Tongcun Mo deposit yields an isochron age of 163.9 ± 1.9 Ma (2σ). Re–Os analyses of five molybdenite samples from the porphyry Mo orebodies of the Zhilingtou Au‐Ag deposit yield an isochron age of 110.1 ± 1.8 Ma (2σ). Our results suggest that the metal mineralization in the Zhejiang Province, southeast China formed during at least two stages, i.e., Middle Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, coeval with the granitic magmatism.
