Geology and fluid inclusion of Wadi Sharis Neoproterozoic orogenic gold deposits in northwestern Yemen

The Wadi Sharis orogenic gold deposit in northwestern Yemen is related to the fault and shear zones vein at medium depth in the crust in the Neoproterozoic meta-sedimentary and meta-volcanosedimentary succession of greenschist to amphibolite facies metamorphism.Three distinct fluid inclusion types have been identified in the gold-bearing quartz sulphide veins of the deposit:(1) type I:vapour-liquid two-phase(VH2O-LH2O),(2) type II:three-phase CO2(VCO2-LH2O-LCO2) and(3) type III:vapour-rich(LCO2-VCO2) inclusions.Six analysis of individual fluid inclusion indicate the fluid inclusions comprise mainly of H2O and CO2.Formation P-T conditions recorded by fluid inclusions in quartz crystals correspond to 180℃-380℃ and up to 130 MPa,as indicated by high-density CO2 bubbles(up to 0.98 g/cm3) observed in some inclusions.The estimated crystallization pressures correspond to approximately 4-10 km of overburden,assuming a lithostatic load.The salinity ranges from 0 to 22 wt%.The deposit holds at 0.2-5 g/t Au and contains low-moderate salinity.     

Geochemistry and metallogenic age of Sishanlinchang gold-silver deposit in Jidong of Heilongjiang

the Sishanlinchang gold-silver deposit is mainly composed of gold-quartz vein type ores.It has many kinds of sulfides and gold in high grade.The Au has a close correlation with As,Pb,Ag and Cu.Geochemically,the deposit is characterized by relatively enrichment in LREE with moderate or lower Eu negative anomaly.Sulfur isotopes appear as single and deep source,and lead isotopes indicate the Pb is from the earth’s mantle and crust,which mainly are orogenic belt Pb,the ore-forming fluid has a temperature of 215℃-350℃ and a low salinity with a mixture of characteristics of magmaitc hydrothermal and meteoric water.The ore-forming age is 111.1-111.4 Ma.The deposit is formed in mineralization and precipitation of metallogenic materials caused by the mixture of the magmatic hydrothermal fluid and meteoric water.     

Geochemistry and genesis of magmatic PGE-bearing Cu-Ni sulphide deposit in Wadi Bayhan，southeastern Yemen

The Wadi Bayhan mafic-ultramafic intrusions associated with magmatic PGE-bearing Cu-Ni sulphide deposit are located in the south margin of the Arabian-Nubian Shield,SW Yemen.The intrusions consist of dunite,olivine-pyroxenite,lherzolite,hornblendite,gabbro and gabbronorite.The dunite and lherzolite are the main host rock for the Cu-Ni ores.The new data of the chemical compositions of the rocks have SiO2(50%-53.6%),Al2O3(0-32%) and MgO(4%-28%),and relatively low TiO2(0-3.2%) and K2O+Na2O(0.04%-5.2%).The geochemical characteristics indicate that the parental magma is high-magnesium tholeiitic.Sulfur had reached saturation and immiscible sulfides droplets segregated from silicate magmas before their emplacement.     

Zircon U-Pb geochronology and geochemistry of Early Cretaceous granodiorite porphyries in Hutouya,western Shandong and their implications for petrogenesis

Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb age and whole-rock geochemistry data are presented for the Hutouya granodiorite porphyries in Mengyin,western Shandong,to restrict its petrogenesis.The analyzed zircons exhibit oscillatory growth zoning and core-rim textures in the cathodoluminescence images and have high Th/U ratios( 0.04--1.66),indicating its magmatic origin.The youngest group of magmatic zircon yields weighted mean~(206)Pb/~(238) U age of 132 ± 2 Ma,which represents the forming age of the granodiorite porphyries,i.e.,the Early Cretaceous.The oldest group of magmatic zircon~(207)Pb/~(206) Pb ages ranges from 2 398 Ma to 2 370 Ma,yielding a weighted mean age of 2 389 ± 23 Ma,suggesting that the basement of the North China Craton should exist in the research area.Geochemically,the samples are characterized by high Si O_2( 70.38% and 64.87%),low Mg O( 0.60% and 1.53%) and Mg~#values( 42.92 and 50.42).Moreover,they show enrichment of light rare earth elements and large ion lithophile elements( e.g.Rb,Ba and K),depletion of heavy rare earth elements and high field strength elements( e.g.Nb and Ta),positive anomaly of Pb,and negative anomaly of Ti.These results,together with previously published data,indicate that the Hutouya granodiorite porphyries were derived from partial melting of a delaminated lower continental crust and subsequent interaction with the mantle peridotites.They are consistent with the period of lithospheric thinning beneath the eastern North China Craton and may be formed in an extensional tectonic environment.     

U-Pb-Hf isotopes and petrogenesis of Late Jurassic akakitic quartz monzodiorite in Xingcheng area,western Liaoning Province

The petrogenesis and geodynamic setting of the Late Jurassic Baita porphyry quartz monzodiorite in Xingcheng--Liaoxi area provide information for understanding the Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the northeastern North China Craton. In this paper, geochronological, whole-rock geochemical, and in-situ zircon Hf isotopic analyses of Baita porphyry quartz monzodiorite were investigated to constrain the crystallization age and petrogenesis. Zircons exhibit typical oscillatory zoning in cathodoluminescence images and show relatively high Th/U ratios(0.78--1.62), and U-Pb analyses indicate that these rocks were crystallized during the Late Jurassic(159±1 Ma). Geochemically, they are characterized by high contents of SiO_2(65.21 wt%--65.31 wt%), Al_2O_3(16.29 wt%--16.31 wt%), Sr(521×10~(-6)-539×10~(-6)), and Sr/Y ratio(45.1--47.8) but low Y(10.9×10~(-6)-12.0×10~(-6)), with obvious adakitic geochemical affinities. These above-mentioned findings, combined with their negative ε_(Hf)(t) values(-21.7 to-20.2), corresponding two-stage model age(T_(DM2)) of 2 579--2 484 Ma, as well as low MgO(1.38 wt%--1.39 wt%), Cr(18.5×10~(-6)-19.5×10~(-6)) and Ni(9.45×10~(-6)-9.46×10~(-6)) values, indicate that Baita porphyry quartz monzodiorite may be generated by partial melting of the Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic thickened basaltic lower crust. Based on the results from this study and pre-vious regional studies, it is concluded that Baita porphyry quartz monzodiorite was spatially related to the westward subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate.

Geochemistry,U-Pb,Hf isotopic characteristics and geological significance of Zhalaxiageyong trachydacite in Tuotuohe area,Qinghai

The Zhalaxiageyong lead-zinc-copper polymetallic deposit is a typical porphyry deposit of the Tuotuohe area. Whole-rock geochemical analyses,Zircon U-Pb dating and Hf isotope analysis are undertaken for the ore host trachydacite with the aim of constraining its petrogenesis,magma source and regional tectonic setting.LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating indicates that the trachydacite was formed in 32. 68 ± 0. 50 Ma( MSWD =1. 6),i. e.,Oligocene. The trachydacite is rich in potassium and poor in Mg#( 5. 10-9. 70),belonging to the peraluminous shoshonite series. The rocks are enriched in LILE( large ion lithophile elements) Rb,Ba,K and LREE,depleted in HFSE( high field strength elements) Nb,Ta,P,Ti,with high Sr and low Y and Yb,having the characteristics of the C type adakite. It is calculated that the initial εHf( t) of the zircons range from-0. 92 to 2. 07 and their two-stage Hf model ages T_(DM2) range from 978 Ma to 1 169 Ma. The magma source should be mainly the partially melt mafic rocks of the thickened Middle Neoproterozoic lower crust of the Northern Qiangtang massif with the addition of ancient aluminosilica material in the melting process. The rocks formed in the tectonic setting of delamination of lithosphere and extension of the thickened crust. During the period of 40-32 Ma,large-scale potassium rich alkaline magmatism occurred in this area. The porphyry metallogenesis is related to the magmatic activities in this period.     

U-Pb geochronology,geochemistry and tectonic implications ofdiorite from Nangnimsan of Mehe in northern Da Hinggan Mountains

LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating indicates that the weighted average age of diorite from Nangnimsan,Mohe in the northern Da Hinggan Mountains in Heilongjiang Province is 516.2±1.7 Ma,as a result of magmatic intrusion of Early Cambrian. Geochemistry analysis indicates that the rocks belong to high-K calc-alkaline series,with low content of SiO_2( 52.24%-53.64%) and high Mg( MgO = 5.67%-6.56%,Mg~#= 61. 05-65. 46).The rocks are characterized by the enrichment of LREE and LILE( e.g. Rb,Ba,Pb),and relative depletion in HREE and HFSE( e.g. Ta,Nb,P,Ti),and with a high content of Sr( 442. 3-622. 3) × 10~(-6),Yb( 2.49-3.42) ×10~(-6) and Y( 25.64-35.49) ×10~(-6),and slightly negative Eu anormaly( δEu= 0.60-0.81). Based on Rb/Sr( 0.15-0.25) and Rb/Nb( 8.27-15.12),it is concluded that the primary magma of diorite was derived from the mixture of the crust and mantle. Combined with background of regional tectonic evolution,it is suggested that diorite was formed in the extensional environment after the collage of the EGM with the Siberian.     

Geochronology,geochemistry and geological significance of Early Cretaceous volcanic rocks from Niangniangshan Formation,Ningwu Basin,middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River

Ningwu Basin is one of the Mesozoic continental volcanic basins in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.The volcanic rocks of the Longwangshan,dawangshan,Gushan and Niangniangshan formations,as well as the homologous subvolcanic rocks or small intrusions,are developed from old to new in the Ningwu Basin.Zircon U-Pb dating results show the latialite phonolite of Niangniangshan Formation was erupted at 128±1 Ma(i.e.,Early Cretaceous).The latialite phonolite contains moderate SiO2 contents(57.28%-60.96%)with high Na 2O+K 2O contents,belonging to shoshonite series.The samples have high REE contents,and display right-inclined REE distribution pattern.They are characterized by enrichment in some large ion lithophile elements(e.g.,LILEs,Rb,K),and depletion in some high field strength elements(e.g.,HFSEs,Nb,Ta,Ti).All volcanic samples have relatively depleted Nd isotopic compositions(ISr=0.707197--0.707878;εNd(t)=-0.5--0.9),indicating no genetic relationship with the lower crust of Yangtze plate,but a drift trend towards the EMII.The geochemical data suggest that the Early Cretaceous latialite phonolite was derived from the partial melting of an enriched lithospheric mantle metasomatized by subduction-related fluids in an arc-related setting.Based on the temporal and spatial distribution and geochemical variation characteristics of the regional volcanic rocks,it is suggested that the tectonic system within the study area changed from a subduction-related compression to an extensional environment in the early Early Cretaceous,which was caused by the ridge subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Ocean.     

Zircon U-Pb geochronology and geochemistry of syenogranites in western Niubiziliang,northwestern Qaidam,Qinghai

The study presents the results of U-Pb dating of zircons and whole-rock geochemical analyses of a syenogranite located in the western Niubiziliang area,China with the aim of determining its formation time,petrogenesis and the regional tectonic setting. Zircons within the syenogranite are euhedral-subhedral and display rhythmic growth zoning,indicating a magmatic origin. Zircon U-Pb data obtained by LA-ICP-MS indicate the syenogranite formed in the Late Permian (260.7±1.5 Ma). The w(SiO_2) of syenogranites is 70.82%--73.59%,w(Al_2O_3) is 13.49%--14.82%,and w(Na_2O + K_2O) is 7.85%--8.52%,and yield K_2O/Na_2O ratios of 1.06--1.26. Therefore,the syenogranites belong to the high-K calc-alkaline and metaluminous (A/CNK 1,A/NK 1) series which display I-type granites similarly. The syenogranites also show the geochemical characteristics of volcanic arc rocks,being enriched in large-ion lithophile elements (LILEs; K,Rb) and light rare-earth elements (LREEs; La,Ce,Sm,Nd),but depleted in high field strength elements( HFSEs; Ta,Nb,P,Ti). On the whole,trace element ratios are close to the mean of the Earth's crust,indicating a lowercrust magma source. The low Sr (161--214) ×10~(-6) and Yb (1.08--1.80)×10~(-6) concentrations indicate that plagioclase and hornblende are residual mineral phases in the source. The regional geology and whole-rock geochemistry suggest that the formation of the syenogranites was related to subduction of the Zongwulong Ocean crust,and the north margin of Qaidam Block during the Late Permian was in an active continental margin tectonic setting.     

Petrogenesis and tectonic setting of granite porphyry in Keyouzhongqi area,Inner Mongolia

The authors studied the geochemistry,zircon U-Pb ages,Hf isotope of the granite porphyry and its petrogenesis and tectonic setting in the studied area． The zircon U-Pb dating indicates the formation of the gran- ite porphyry is in Early Cretaceous (125． 1 ±1． 5 Ma)． The granite porphyry has high-SiO2and alkali-rich fea- tures,which belongs to high-K calc-alkaline series rocks (A/CNK = 0． 95%--1． 25%)． The analyses of trace elements show the characteristics of a swallow-shaped ＲEE distribution pattern with enrichment in LＲEEs and most of LILEs and HFSEs,depletion in Ba,Sr,Nb,P and Ti,and especially strong depletion in Eu,which indicates the granite porphyry belongs to the aluminous A-type granite． Their εHf(t)range from 5． 94 to 8． 80 with Hf two-stage model ages (TDM2) of 620 Ma to 803 Ma． Combining with the regional tectonic background, we conclude that the source of the rocks is the new crust materials accreted from depleted mantle in Neoprotero- zoic and is the product of partial melting of middle and lower crustal rocks,which may be suffered from the dual impact of the subduction of the Palaeo-Pacific Ocean and the closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean．     

Geochronology of mineralization and tectonic setting of Baishidong skarn-type iron deposit in Helong area of Yanbian,Jilin Province,NE China

The Baishidong iron deposit is the only skarn-type iron deposit discovered in the study area. According to mineral assemblage and paragenesis, the mineralization can be divided into four metallogenic stages: early garnet-diopside skarn stage, late magnetite-tremolite-epidote skarn stage, early quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite stage and late quartz-calcite-pyrite stage. Through LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating of diorite, which is closely related to mineralization, the results show that the weighted average age is 164.6±1.4 Ma, which limits the mineralization time of Baishidong iron deposit during or slightly later than Middle Jurassic. The diorite rocks are rich in sodium(Na_2O/K_2O=1.24--1.76), aluminium(Al_2O_3=17.41%--18.76%), LREE and large-ion lithophile elements(Ba, K and Sr), depleted in HREE and high-field-strength elements(Y, Nb, Ta, P and Ti), and show strongly fractionated patterns(LREE/HREE=6.58--9.93), no apparent Eu anomalies(δEu=0.91--1.13), which shows similar characteristics to island arc or active continental margin arc magma. The zircon εHf(t) values range from-22.6 to 5.9, and the age of the two-stage model(t_(DM2)) is 836--2 633 Ma. Above data combined with the geochemical characteristics, it is indicated that the magma was a mixture of multiple sources, composed of ancient materials and newly formed crust. During the process of evolution and ascending of magma, separation and crystallization occurred, and a large amount of continental crust material was mixed at the same time. Combined with regional tectonic evolution, the formation of this deposit may be related to the westward subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate to the Eurasian Plate.     

Petrogenesis of Early Cretaceous riebeckite granophyres in southern Da Hinggan Mts.

This paper reports lithologic features,K--Ar age and geochemical data of riebeckite granophyres from Aliwula area in the southern Da Hinggan Mts.,aiming to reveal the petrogenesis of riebeckite granophyres.K-Ar age of riebeckite granophyres is 126 ± 2 Ma,implying that the riebeckite granophyres formed in the Early Cretaceous.The granophyres are rich in riebeckites and with a lot of melt-fluid inclusion in its quartz phenocrysts.The granophyres are characterized by extensive enrichment in SiO2,FeO,and(Na2O+K2O) and depletion in MgO and CaO,strong negative Eu anomalies and strong positive Ce anomalies.Additionally,the riebeckite granophyres not only have high total REE contents and display enrichment of HFSEs(for example Zr,Hf,Nb,Ta),but also are strong in depletion of LILEs(e.g.Ba,Sr) as well as high Ga /Al ratios.Primitive mantle-normalized REE pattern significantly displays REE M--W tetrad effect.REEs fractionate evidently and highly enrich in LREE,but are uneven distribution in the rocks.Taken together,we conclude that the riebeckite granophyres are similar to typical A-type granite,which could be derived from stretching environments in the Early Cretaceous.The granophyres originated from residual melt which underwent highly differentiation process,and were formed in magmatic-hydrothemal transition stage at last.

Characteristics and tectonic setting of volcanic rocks in Early Cretaceous Baiyingaolao Formation of Keyouzhongqi area，Inner Mongolia

The authors studied zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating,the zircon Hf isotope and geochemistry of acidic volcanic rocks in Baiyingaolao Formation of Keyouzhongqi area,Inner Mongolia,and discussed the chronology, source region and tectonic setting of the volcanic rocks in the studied area． The clear oscillatory zoning of zir- cons indicates a typical magmatic origin,and the results of dating show that the volcanic rocks of Baiyingaolao Formation were formed in Early Cretaceous (121.5 ±1.0 Ma)． The features of major and trace elements show that the rocks are alkali-rich,poor in calcium and magnesium with enrichment in LILEs like Th,U,K and Gd and depletion in HFSEs,e.g. Nb,Ta,Sr and Ti． The fact implies that they were the products of partial melting of the crust． εHf(t) = ( +6.30--+9.06) and TDM2=600--835 Ma,suggest the magma originated from par- tial melting of the young crust． Combined with the evolution of regional tectonic structure,the authors conclude that the acidic volcanic rocks of Baiyingaolao Formation may be formed under the extensional environment relat- ed to the subduction of Paleo-Pacific Plate．     

Petrogenesis of Paleoproterozoic diorite porphyries in Luojiazhuang,western Shandong:constraints from LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb geochronology and geochemistry

Based on the study of LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb geochronology and whole-rock geochemistry for the Luojiazhuang diorite porphyries in Menying,western Shandong,the analyzed zircons exhibit oscillatory growth zoning in the cathodoluminescence images and have high Th / U ratios( 0. 15--1. 53),indicating a magmatic origin. In addition,most of the zircons have narrow metamorphic edges,suggesting that late metamorphic events may exist. The youngest group of magmatic zircon207 Pb /206 Pb ages ranging from 2 384 Ma to 2234 Ma,yielding a weighted mean age of 2353 ± 14 Ma,which represents the forming age of the diorite porphyries,as the Early Paleoproterozoic. Geochemically,the samples are characterized by low SiO_2( 54. 54% and 55. 47%),high MgO( 5. 22% and 5. 49%) and Mg~#values( 58 and 59). Moreover,they show enrichment of light rare earth elements and large ion lithophile elements( Rb,Ba and K),depletion of heavy rare earth elements and high field strength elements( Nb,Ta,Zr and Hf),positive anomaly of Pb,and negative anomaly of Ti. The fact implies that the Luojiazhuang diorite porphyries might derive from partial melting of enriched lithospheric mantle and mixed with an amount of continental crust material. In summary,they may form in the compression tectonic setting that stretching along the east-west direction at the North China Craton in the Early Paleoproterozoic.     

Geochemistry and genesis on saturated hydrocarbon of crude oils in Gas Hure Oilfield in Qaidam Basin

Gas Hure Oilfield is the biggest one in the Qaidam Basin.Through intensive sampling and GC-MS analysis,the authors analyzed the geochemical characteristics of the crude oils in the Gas Hure Oilfield.The results show that the crude oils have even-odd carbon predominance for n-alkanes.In shallow reservoir,part of crude oils suffered biogenic degradation.As for normal oils,they have low Pr/Ph ratios with abundant gammacerane and C35 homohopane,which indicate that the crude oils are formed in strong reducing salt water environment.Compared deep(E13) reservoir with shallow(N1-N12) reservoir,the ancient salinity of sedimentary environment of N1--N12 crude oils is slightly higher than that of E13 crude oils;the C-21/C+22 ratios of crude oils are 1.02-1.71 with a higher abundance of C27 sterane,which shows that their mainly origin matrix are bacteria and algae;the C29 sterane 20S/(20S+20R)is generally low,the ratio in deep E13 reservoir distributes between 0.31 and 0.40,but in shallow reservoir is relatively low with 0.29-0.36.At the same time,C29 sterane αββ/(αββ+ααα)and Ts/Tm both are extremely lower.All the above show that the crude oils in Gas Hure are mainly low mature oils,although the maturity of deep reservoir crude oils is slightly higher than shallow one.     

Zircon U-Pb geochronology and geological implications of granitoids from Sawuer Mountains in North Xinjiang, NW China

LA-ICP MS zircon U-Pb dating results of granites from Sawuer Mountains in North Xinjiang, NW China, are reported based on 1:50 000 regional geologic surveys. Zircon U-Pb dating shows that the granitoids have magmatic crystallization age of 320 ±2 Ma. In addition, zircons with ages of 341 ～358 Ma could be subdi- vided into two groups, i.e. , Group 1 with a weighted mean age of 342 + 3 Ma and Group 2 with a weighted mean age of 354 + 2 Ma. The petrology and geochemistry of granitoids from Sawuer Mountains suggest their mixed origin. The granite from Sawuer Mountains occurred in an extensional setting, most probably related to post-orogenic processes during the closure of the Peo-Asian Ocean; namely, represent the tectonic setting shif- ted from compress to post-collisional setting.

The Origin of Pb - Zn Deposits in the Northern Kuandian Area, Liaoning Province

Carbonates and clastic rocks are well developed in the second - order basins of an Paleoproterozoic aulacogen in the northern Kuandian area, Liaoning Province. The carbonates consist of two parts, the upper and the lower carbonate formations. The clastic rocks occured between the two formations. Two Pb- Zn ore belts exist in both of upper and lower carbonate formations and are called B and A - belt respectively. Several tens of Pb - Zn ore bodies are found in A - belt. Some Pb - Zn ore bodies are apparent in vertical zoning in a sequence of Fe - Zn - Pb - Ba from the lower to the upper. Geological and geochemical researches show that the ore components in the A- belt was exhalated from the liquid source bed deeply and was precipitated in a closed second - order basins. While those in the B - belt was derived from the upper crust and was deposited in a normal oceanic enviornment. The second - order basins in Liaodong - Ji' nan - North Korean Peninsular aulacogen at the margin of the Archean craton are promising sites for looking for the deposits formed by exhalation of the liquid source bed deeply under crust.
