北祁连山寒山金矿床成矿作用同位素地质年代学

位于北祁连山西段安西县的寒山金矿是一个较特殊的、以剪切带容矿的中浅成低温热液蚀变岩型金矿床,它赋存于下奥陶统安山英安质火山碎屑岩中,金矿体受韧脆性剪切带内的强变形带控制。根据矿脉矿物组合及相互穿插关系,原生热液成矿期成矿作用可分为5个矿化阶段。其中,金毒砂石英阶段和金黝铜矿多金属硫化物阶段为主要金成矿阶段。年代学研究表明,金毒砂黄铁矿石英阶段含金石英脉RbSr等时线年龄为372±8Ma,热液蚀变岩RbSr等时线年龄为339±10Ma,矿区辉长闪长岩及南侧青山花岗闪长岩锆石UPb年龄分别为370±25Ma和347.1±6.4Ma,表明区内岩浆侵入活动与成矿作用均发生在晚泥盆世—早石炭世,相当于北祁连山碰撞造山向陆内伸展转变时期,从而揭示了成矿作用是后碰撞造山阶段构造岩浆流体“三位一体”共同作用之产物。     

四川缅萨洼金矿两类矿石绢云母^40Ar／^39Ar年龄及其地质意义

缅萨洼金矿位于扬子地台西缘龙门山锦屏山造山带南段,扬子地台与松潘甘孜造山带的过渡地带,是与剪切带有关的金矿床.本文通过对蚀变花岗岩和含金石英脉两类矿石中的绢云母进行40Ar/39Ar快中子活化年龄测试,获得蚀变花岗岩中绢云母坪年龄和等时线年龄分别为23.31±0.07 Ma和23.26±0.42 Ma;含金石英脉中绢云母的坪年龄和等时线年龄分别为22.98±0.31 Ma和22.58±0.31 Ma.这些数据表明缅萨洼金矿成矿作用主要发生在23 Ma左右,这对于认识扬子地台西缘金矿床形成的地球动力学背景具有重要意义.     

应用蚀变矿物测定胶东金矿的成矿年龄

本文应用热液蚀变富钾、铷微细矿物测定胶东金矿的成矿年龄获得了满意的结果。从蚀变围岩和金矿石中分选出粒径<200目、纯度>95％非变质成因的单一水白云母,用Rb—Sr等时线法和Ar同位素稀释法测得其年龄值彼此一致,与野外地质观察结果相符,表明玲珑西山石英脉型金矿形成于115.0±3.7Ma,灵山沟金矿115±5Ma;焦家金矿有105±7Ma和88.1±0.1Ma两期重要矿化。胶东金矿的主要成矿期为燕山期,金的成矿与花岗岩的成岩密切相关。马家窑式金矿(成矿年龄135.1±5.2Ma)并非为元古代形成的变质侧分泌矿床;对产于牟平——乳山一带胶东群变质岩中金矿床的前景应予以重新认识。     

论金矿床成矿年代的研究——以丹东地区成岩成矿Rb—Sr、U—Pb同位素年代为例

丹东地区是中国重要的金矿集中区,到目前为止还没有较准确的成岩成矿年代数据报道.本文采用Rb-8r等时线法和单颗粒锆石U-Pb法分别测出了丹东三股流花岗岩成岩年龄为131±5 Ma和129±3 Ma,因此三股流花岗岩综合同位素年龄定为130 Ma.五龙金矿主成矿阶段石英流体包裹体Rb-Sr等时线年龄为120±3 Ma.这一组年龄数据理顺了该地区构造-岩浆-成矿的时序关系,对中国东部金矿成矿对比研究提供了有效的年龄数据.8r、Nd同位素的示踪结果表明三股流花岗岩的成岩物质与下地壳物质有关.三股流花岗岩和矿体(含金石英脉)相似的Sr同位素初始比值,说明成矿和成岩物质可能来自深部同一岩浆源区.     

河南嵩县庙岭金矿地质特征与钾长石40Ar/39Ar定年

河南嵩县庙岭金矿位于华北陆块南缘熊耳山—外方山地区。矿床赋存于中元古界熊耳群火山岩中近南北向断裂带内,矿体呈似层状、透镜状产出,矿石具浸染状、细网脉状构造和微细粒它形粒状晶粒结构、交代结构,围岩热液蚀变有硅化、钾长石化、绢云母化、黄铁矿化等,矿化具有多阶段的特点,属破碎带蚀变岩型金矿。成矿热液蚀变矿物钾长石Ar-Ar法测年的结果：坪年龄为121.6Ma±1.2Ma,等时线年龄为117.0Ma±1.6Ma,表明矿床形成于早白垩世,与熊耳山地区祁雨沟、瑶沟等金矿床形成于同一时期,属与早白垩世构造-岩浆-流体活动有关的产物。     

湖南雪峰山地区铲子坪和大坪金矿成矿作用年代学研究

湘西铲子坪和大坪等大型金矿是雪峰山地区颇具代表性的金矿床。本次研究获得该两矿床含金石英脉RbSr等时线年龄分别为205.6±9.4Ma和204.8±6.3Ma,矿区外围黄茅园黑云母花岗岩体锆石SHRIMP UPb年龄为222.3±1.7Ma,测定结果表明成岩和成矿作用均发生于印支期,成矿作用可能与区域性逆冲推覆作用及相伴生的酸性岩浆侵位密切相关;矿床成因类型应为岩浆热液型,而不宜归为韧性剪切带型或构造蚀变岩型。     

江西金山金矿含金黄铁矿的Rb-Sr年龄

前人对江西金山金矿的成矿时代有许多不同的认识,笔者通过对江西金山蚀变岩型矿石中的含金黄铁矿Rb-Sr年龄的测定得出,含金黄铁矿的Rb-Sr等时线年龄为(838±110)Ma,initial87Sr/86Sr=0.7045±0.0020。由此可以推测晋宁期是蚀变岩型金矿体形成的主要时期。黄铁矿Rb-Sr所得的Sr同位素初始比(87Sr/86Sr)i小于陆源硅酸盐的值(0.720),而与玄武岩的值(0.704)接近,结合前人有关的同位素及稀土、微量元素研究,笔者认为金山金矿变质岩型矿体的成矿物质源于变质围岩,成矿流体为来源于深部的变质水。     

华南诸广山复式岩体中段花岗岩的碱交代蚀变

诸广山复式花岗岩体中段某大型铀矿田中的部分花岗岩广泛发育碱交代蚀变作用。据对３１３个碱交代蚀变花岗岩样品的岩石化学分析资料及岩相学研究结果表明,该地碱交代蚀变是以钠长石化为主的多阶段钾、钠叠加交代（即混合交代）,蚀变强度大多较弱,局部可较强并生成二长石岩、钠长石岩等交代蚀变岩。测得该碱交代蚀变岩石的Ｒｂ－Ｓｒ等时线年龄为１３２．１±５．８Ｍａ,在时序上它与主体侵入的似斑状黑云母花岗岩（Ｒｂ－Ｓｒ等时线成岩年龄为２１５．２±６．３Ｍａ）、补体侵入的细粒少斑黑云母花岗岩（测得Ｒｂ－Ｓｒ等时线成岩年龄为１５５．２±５．４５Ｍａ）构成一连续演化序列,推测碱质可能源自该产铀花岗岩岩浆演化钠转折分异阶段的产物;该蚀变岩属铀成矿前已遭剥蚀的钨、锡矿化矿根相,成为随后工业铀矿化（Ｕ－Ｐｂ法测得成矿年龄为１０３．２±０．６Ｍａ）的有利围岩。     

胶东区域成矿断裂带蚀变年龄研究及其矿床学意义

胶东金矿是中生代构造岩浆活化区岩浆期后中温热液蚀变脉状矿床。前人曾认为该类金矿属于壳源深融花岗岩-热液石英脉-蚀变岩型金矿。近期研究表明,胶东金矿围岩蚀变年龄的测定,对于矿床成因的研究有重要意义。为解决胶东区域断裂热液蚀变年龄问题,对胶东半岛主要断裂矿化蚀变带开展如下相关研究:(1)选择胶东地区各蚀变岩带普遍发育的黄铁绢英岩化蚀变岩带和强钾长石化蚀变岩带作为取样目标,进行区域对比;(2)该两类岩石中的蚀变矿物受到脆性断裂影响较小,能够得到蚀变阶段的稳定化学成分;(3)该两类岩石中的蚀变矿物发育有与蚀变同期的韧性变形,能够揭示蚀变阶段的构造应力应变状态。对样品中的钾长石和斜长石颗粒进行K-Ar法同位素年龄测试,获得蚀变岩同位素年龄数据。测试结果显示,胶东区域构造热液蚀变作用时期为(148.3±4.3)~(52.03±0.70)Ma,即早白垩世燕山晚期;同位素年龄自西向东逐渐变小,证明胶东西部地区的热液蚀变作用早于东部地区。通过分析已有的构造、热液成分和成矿物理化学参数等资料,结合本研究的最新成果,总结出区域成矿时代与成矿规律:胶东区域断裂蚀变系统中的构造附加静水压力、流体温度压力条件和成矿元素的分布与变化控制了热液蚀变成矿规律。上述地质特征显示,胶东金矿床是复成构造热液作用下的一种新型矿床类型。     

太行山北段石湖金矿的成岩成矿机制:U-Pb年龄及地球化学证据

为讨论石湖金矿的形成与麻棚花岗岩体、石英闪长玢岩脉之间的联系,对花岗闪长岩、石英闪长玢岩进行了U--Pb年代学研究,并分别对花岗闪长岩、石英闪长玢岩、矿化蚀变岩和围岩的地球化学进行了系统测定。麻棚花岗岩体U--Pb年龄为(124.8±1.4)Ma(MSWD=0.74),石英闪长玢岩脉年龄为(127.3±1.1)Ma(MSWD=1.15),但二者地球化学特征表现不同,应有不同起源。地球化学特征表明,麻棚花岗岩与矿化蚀变岩具有较一致的稀土、微量元素配分型式,而与围岩差别大,说明金矿的成矿流体来源与麻棚花岗岩关系密切。此外,花岗闪长岩具高钾钙碱性,且重稀土亏损、轻稀土富集、弱Eu异常、高Sr--Ba和高Sr/Y、La/Yb比值,表明麻棚岩体的形成有幔源岩浆的混入。笔者认为成矿流体和成矿物质来源为幔源岩浆底侵和混合,并以花岗岩浆为载体而迁移上升。结合矿床地质特征,初次提出闪长玢岩脉与矿体时空关系密切,这应是闪长玢岩脉作为隔流体层对来自麻棚花岗岩体的成矿流体具有一定的封闭作用,使得矿化、蚀变富集产出,即岩脉封闭作用。石湖金矿的成岩成矿机制与中生代期间岩石圈减薄的地球动力学背景密切相关,应是一种非造山型金矿。     

An overview of the relationship between granitoid intrusions and gold mineralisation in the Archaean Murchison Province,Western Australia

In the Archaean Murchison Province of Western Australia, granitoid batholiths and plutons that intruded into the ca. 2.7–2.8 Ga and ca. 3.0 Ga greenstone belts can be divided into three major suites. Suite I is a ca. 2.69 Ga monzogranite-granodiorite suite, which was derived from anatexis of old continental crust and occurs as syn-tectonic composite batholiths over the entire province. Suite II is a trondhjemite-tonalite suite (termed I-type) derived from partial melting of subducted basaltic crust, which intruded as syn- to late-tectonic plutons into the greenstone belts in the northeastern part of the province where most of the major gold deposits are situated. One of the Suite II trondhjemite plutons has a Pb−Pb isochron age of 2641±36 Ma, and one of the structurally youngest tonalite plutons has a minimum Pb−Pb isochron age of 2630.1±4.3 Ma. Suite III is a ca. 2.65–2.62 Ga A-type monzogranite-syenogranite suite which is most abundant in the largely unmineralised southwestern part of the province. Gold deposits in the province are mostly hosted in brittle-ductile shear zones, and were formed at a late stage in the history of metamorphism, deformation and granitoid emplacement. At one locality, mineralisation has been dated at 2636.8±4.2 Ma through a pyritetitanite Pb−Pb isochron. Lead and Sr isotope studies of granitoids and gold deposits indicate that, although most gold deposits have initial Pb isotope compositions most closely similar to those of Suite II intrusions, both Suite I and Suite II intrusions or their source regions could have contributed solutes to the ore fluids. These preliminary data suggest that gold mineralisation in the Murchison Province was temporally and spatially associated with Suite II I-type granitoids in the northeastern part of the province. This association is consistent with the concept that Archaean gold mineralisation was related to convergent-style tectonic settings, as generation of both Suite II I-type granitoids and hydrothermal ore fluids could have been linked to the dehydration and partial fusion of subducted oceanic crust, and old sialic crust or its anatectic products may also contribute solutes to the ore fluids. Integration of data from this study with other geological and radiogenic isotope constraints in the Yilgarn Block argue against direct derivation of gold ore fluids from specific I-type granitoid plutons, but favour a broad association with convergent tectonics and granitoid magmatism in the late Archaean.     

胶北地块与金成矿有关的郭家岭岩体和上庄岩体年代学及地球化学研究

胶东半岛是我国最主要的原生金矿矿集区,金矿的主要控矿围岩是郭家岭花岗岩,通过研究郭家岭花岗岩的地球化学特征对研究金矿的成因和物质来源具有指示性意义。本文研究的两个花岗岩岩体为上庄岩体和郭家岭岩体,两岩体同属郭家岭型花岗岩。通过对两岩体的花岗岩样进行岩相学矿相学观察、全岩主、微量元素和U-Pb同位素分析,获得胶东半岛中生代岩浆岩的成因机制与源区性质及自然金的产出形式等科学信息。LAICP MS锆石U-Pb年龄得出郭家岭岩体年龄125.4±2.2 Ma,上庄岩体U-Pb年龄128.8±2.0 Ma,都为中生代早白垩世,两岩体年龄相差3Ma,在年龄误差范围来看可以把两岩体作为同一期岩体,也在年龄角度证实两岩体都同属郭家岭花岗岩。两岩体的锆石组成都含有太古宙和晚侏罗纪的继承锆石,指示两岩体的成岩物质来源具相似性,都包含太古宙岩石成分和晚侏罗世花岗岩成分。两岩体具有相似的稀土元素和微量元素分配模式,表现出明显的LREE富集和HREE极度亏损,没有明显的铕负异常。郭家岭岩体和上庄岩体花岗岩都具有类似埃达克岩的特征,都具有高的Sr含量(913×10-6~1325×10-6),低的Y含量(2.2×10-6~8.4×10-6)和Yb含量(0.21×10-6~0.68×10-6),较高的(Dy/Yb)N比值1.62~2.28,暗示花岗岩岩浆形成时石榴石是一个重要的残留相,而没有斜长石作为残留相。两岩体具有较低的MgO、Cr、Ni含量和Mg#,反映郭家岭型花岗岩岩浆的形成可能是岛弧环境榴辉岩相压力条件下洋壳玄武质岩石的部分熔融。     

A geochronological framework for orogenic gold mineralisation in central Victoria, Australia

New ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar geochronological data support, and significantly expand upon, preliminary age data that were interpreted to suggest an episodic and diachronous emplacement of gold across the western Lachlan fold belt, Australia. These geochronological data indicate that mineralisation in the central Victorian gold province occurred in response to episodic, eastward progressing deformation, metamorphism and exhumation associated with the formation of the western Lachlan fold belt. Initial gold formation throughout the Stawell and the Bendigo structural zones can be constrained to a broad interval of time between 455 and 435 Ma, with remobilisation of metals into new structures and/or new pulses of mineralisation occurring between 420 and 400 Ma, and again between 380 and 370 Ma, linked to episodic variations in the regional stress-field and during intrusion of felsic dykes and plutons. This separation of ages is incompatible with the view that gold emplacement in the western Lachlan fold belt was the result of a single, orogen-wide event during the Devonian. A distinct phase of gold mineralisation, characterised by elevated Cu, Mo, Sb or W, is associated with both Late Silurian to Early Devonian (~420 to 400 Ma) and Middle to Late Devonian (~380 to 370 Ma) magmatism, when crustal thickening and shortening during the ongoing consolidation of the western Lachlan Fold Belt led to extensive melt development in the lower crust and resulted in widespread magmatism throughout central Victoria. These ~420 to 400 Ma and ~380 to 370 Ma occurrences, best exemplified by the Wonga deposit in the Stawell structural zone and many of the Woods Point deposits in the Melbourne structural zone, but also evidenced by occurrences at Fosterville and Maldon in the Bendigo structural zone, clearly formed synchronous with, or post-date, the emplacement of plutons and dykes, and thus are spatially (if not genetically) related to melt generation at depth. This later, magmatic-associated and polymetallic type of gold mineralisation is economically subordinate to the earlier, metamorphic-associated type of gold deposition in the Stawell and Bendigo structural zones, but tends to be the dominant style in the Melbourne Zone. These new geochronological constraints, together with zircon U-Pb data from felsic intrusive rocks of known relationship to gold mineralisation, demonstrate that initial hydrothermal alteration associated with gold emplacement in the western Lachlan fold belt was metamorphic-related, predating the emplacement of granite plutons by as much as 80 million years. This timing differs from other important orogenic gold districts where gold deposition is closely associated spatially with felsic magmatism. The early introduction of metamorphically derived fluids well before magmatism may reflect variations in the timing of peak metamorphic conditions at different crustal levels in an accretionary prism undergoing simultaneous deformation and erosion. Consequently, no genetic link exists between the main phase(s) of gold mineralisation and magmatism in the central Victorian gold province. With the exception of formation of a minor magmatism-related and geochemically-distinct mineralisation style at about 420 to 400 Ma, and again at about 380 to 370 Ma, the apparent spatial relationship between gold mineralisation and felsic intrusions is merely the result of melts and fluids being channelised along the same structures.     

Anatomy of a world-class epizonal orogenic-gold system: A holistic thermochronological analysis of the Xincheng gold deposit,Jiaodong Peninsula,eastern China

Xincheng is a world-class orogenic-gold deposit hosted by the Early Cretaceous Guojialing granitoid in the Jiaodong Peninsula, eastern China. A zircon U–Pb age of 126 ± 1.4 Ma, together with previous data, constrain the emplacement of the Guojialing intrusion to 132–123 Ma. The granitoid underwent subsolidus ductile deformation at >500 °C following its intrusion. The small difference in age between the youngest zircon U–Pb age of unaltered granitoid (~123 Ma) and the ca. 120 Ma ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages of sericite, associated with breccias and gold mineralization within it indicate initial rapid cooling from magmatic temperatures to those prevalent during brittle deformation and associated gold mineralization at ~220–300 °C. Evidence of a direct association between granitic magmatism and gold mineralization, such as at least localized near-magmatic depositional temperatures and metal zoning evident in undoubted intrusion-related gold deposits, is absent. The ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age of ~120 Ma coincides with the mineralization age of many other orogenic-gold deposits along the Jiaojia Fault. Sixteen zircon fission-track (ZFT) ages across the ore and alteration zones range from 112.9 ± 3.4 to 99.1 ± 2.7 Ma. The long period of cooling to the ~100 Ma ZFT closure temperatures recorded here suggests that ambient temperatures for hydrothermal alteration systems lasted to ~100 Ma, possibly because of their focus at Xincheng within the young Guojialing granitoid as it cooled more slowly below approximately 300 °C to 220 °C. However, the restricted number of auriferous ore stages, combined with the presence of cross-cutting gold-free quartz-carbonate veins, indicate that gold itself was only deposited over a restricted time interval at ~120 Ma, consistent with studies of orogenic gold deposits elsewhere. This highlights the complex interplay between magmatism, deformation and the longevity of hydrothermal systems that cause genetic controversies. Based on apatite fission-track (AFT) ages, the Xincheng gold deposit was then uplifted and exhumed to near the surface of the crust at 15 Ma, probably due to movement on the crustal-scale Tan-Lu Fault. Recognition of such exhumation histories along gold belts has conceptual exploration significance in terms of the probability of discovery of additional exposed or sub-surface gold ore bodies as discovery is as much a function of preservation as formation of the deposits.     

Role of basement in epithermal deposits: The Kushikino and Hishikari gold deposits,southwestern Japan

The magma–ore deposit relationship of most low-sulfidation epithermal ore deposits is still unclear, partly because many stable isotopic studies of such deposits have indicated the predominance of meteoric waters within hydrothermal fluids. However, it is certainly true that hydrothermal systems are ultimately driven by magmatic intrusions, and epithermal gold deposits might therefore be produced by magmatic activity even in deposits having has no obvious links to a magma. We re-examine the genesis of two typical low-sulfidation epithermal gold deposits, the Kushikino and Hishikari deposits, using structural simulations and isotope data.Many epithermal gold deposits including the Kushikino and Hishikari deposits have been discovered in Kyushu, southwestern Japan. The Kushikino deposit comprises fissure-filling veins within Neogene andesitic volcanics that overlie unconformably Cretaceous sedimentary basement. The veins consist of gold- and silver-bearing quartz and calcite with minor amounts of adularia, sericite and sulfides. Although carbon and oxygen isotopic data for the veins indicate a meteoric origin of the ore fluid, finite element simulations suggest that the vein system might have formed in direct response to magma intrusion. In particular, geophysical data suggest that intruding magma has uplifted the basement rocks, thereby producing fractures and veins and a positive Bouguer anomaly, and providing the heat necessary to drive an ore-forming hydrothermal system.The second component of this study has been to investigate the nature and evolution of the Kushikino and Hishikari epithermal systems. Isotope data document the geochemical evolution of the hydrothermal fluids. We conclude that the existence of sedimentary basement rocks at depth might have affected the strontium and carbon isotopic ratios of the Kushikino and Hishikari ore fluids. The ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios and δ¹³C–δ¹⁸O trend reveal that major ore veins in the Hishikari deposit can be distinguished from shallow barren veins. It was suggested isotopically that fluids responsible for the barren veins in nearby shallow and barren circulation systems were only controlled by the shallow host rocks. Such multi-isotope systematics provide a powerful tool with which to determine the center of hydrothermal activity and thereby document the evolution of hydrothermal fluids.

The relationship of mantle-derived fluids to gold metallogenesis in the Jiaodong Peninsula: Evidence from D–O–C–S isotope systematics

The largest gold district in China is the Jiaodong Peninsula, where three types of gold deposits are recognized: quartz vein, fracture-altered and breccia types. The first two developed along a group of NE-trending faults and are hosted by granitic intrusions, dated at 160 to 150 Ma (biotite granite) and 130 to 126 Ma (granodiorite), and by metamorphic rocks of the Precambrian crystalline basement. The breccia-type gold system is mainly located around the northern margin of the Jiaolai Cretaceous basin, where mineralisation is controlled by both detachment fractures and NE-trending faults. This study is based on stable isotope determinations from ten gold deposits, including Linglong, Jiaojia, Sanshandao, Cangshang, Wang'ershan, Dayigezhuang, Denggezhuang, Pengjiakuang, Fayunkuang and Dazhuangzi, as well as the Linglong Jurassic biotite granite, Guojialing Cretaceous granodiorite and Archean gneiss. The stable isotope systematics reflect the style of the three types of gold deposits, but also show that they belong to the same metallogenic system, in which the hydrothermal fluids were derived from a mantle fluid reservoir and mixed with crustal fluids. The ore-forming age is later than both the Jurassic biotite granite and Cretaceous granodiotite, but overlaps with the 121 to 114 Ma ages of lamprophyre and diabase dykes. The hydrothermal fluids that were responsible for both gold mineralisation and the retrograde alteration of the diabase and lamprophyre dykes are similar, and represent a CO₂ and potassium-rich system. This fluid system is interpreted to be the consequence of Cretaceous lithospheric thinning, asthenospheric upwelling and mantle degassing in Eastern China.     

The mixing of Mesozoic crust-mantle magma is the key to the source of large amounts of gold deposits in the Jiaobei uplift,ChinaSCIEI北大核心CSCD

胶东地区金矿巨量金质来源一直是学界争论的焦点,很难找到有说服力的直接证据。在没有其它更有效的直接证明巨量金质来源的情况下,本文通过胶北隆起主要地质体新鲜岩石大量微量元素地球化学数据的变化规律,间接得出中生代壳幔岩浆的混合反应是巨量金质来源的关键,即郭家岭和伟德山两期壳幔岩浆的混合反应和演化可能是巨量金质来源的主要形成机制,同时更是热量供给源,而玲珑花岗岩可能是少量金质的提供者和主要赋矿地质体。胶东地区金矿主要成矿时间(130～105Ma)与郭家岭(130～125Ma)和伟德山(126～108Ma)两期花岗岩浆演化结晶时间完全吻合,说明其关系密切,岩浆混合反应和冷凝期,岩浆热液上升运移沉淀成矿。该区中生代地质体对早前寒武纪的地球化学环境有一定的继承性,中生代地壳混合了大量地幔物质,Au丰度偏高,平均为1.31×10^-9,为地球化学高背景场。     

New 40Ar/39Ar age of granitic rocks and related gold mineralization at the Kirovskoye deposit (southeastern margin of the North Asian craton)

The Kirovskoye gold deposit located in the southern part of the Selenga-Stanovoi superterrane at the southeastern margin of the Siberian craton is one of the largest ore deposits in the eastern regions of the Russian Far East. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar geochronological studies revealed that the age of the quartz-diorite-porphyrite and granodiorite-porphyry dikes is 128?126 Ma. This estimate agrees with the previous U-Pb age of 125 ± 2 Ma for the Dzhalinda granodiorites. The age of hydrothermal ore-forming processes was estimated at ～121?120 Ma. These results allow us to infer that a relationship between Kirovskoye gold mineralization was formed as a result of postmagmatic hydrothermal activity, which accompanied the emplacement of the Dzhalinda intrusion and coeval dikes.
