Isotopic Chronological Study of the Huangsha‐Tieshanlong Quartz Vein‐ Type Tungsten Deposit and Timescale of Molybdenum Mineralization in Southern Jiangxi Province,China

The Huangsha-Tieshanlong quartz-vein tungsten polymetallic ore deposit, located in the northern Pangushan-Tieshanlong tungsten ore field in eastern Ganxian-Yudu prospecting areas of the Yushan metallogenic belt, is a well-known tungsten deposit in southern Jiangxi province, China. SHRIMP-determined dating of zircons from the Tieshanlong granite yields ages of 168.1±2.1 Ma (n=11, MSWD=1.3). Rhenium and osmium isotopic dating of molybdenite from the Huangsha quartz-vein tungsten deposit determined by ICP-MS yields a weighted average ages of 153±3 Ma and model ages of 150.2±2.1 Ma – 155.4±2.3 Ma. The age of the Huangsha tungsten deposit is 10 to 15 Ma later than the Tieshanlong granite, which shows that there might have been another early Late Jurassic magmatic activity between 150 and 160 Ma, a process which is closely related with tungsten mineralization in this area. The Tieshanlong granite, the Huangsha tungsten deposit and the Pangushan-Tieshanlong ore field were all formed around 150–170 Ma, belonging to products of a Mesozoic second large-scale mineralization. According to the collected molybdenite Re-Os dating results in southern Jiangxi province, the timescale of the associated molybdenum mineralization is 2–6 Ma in the tungsten deposit and the timescale of independent molybdenum mineralization is 1–4 Ma, implying the complexity of tungsten mineralization. Times of molybdenum mineralization are mainly concentrated in the Yanshanian, which includes three stages of 133~135 Ma, 150–162 Ma, and 166–170 Ma, respectively. The 150–162 Ma-stage is in accordance with ages of large-scale W-Sn mineralization, which is mainly molybdenum mineralization characterized by associated molybdenum mineralization with development of an even greater-intensity independent molybdenum mineralization. Independent molybdenum mineralization occurred before and after large-scale W-Sn mineralization, which indicates that favorable prospecting period for molybdenum may be in Cretaceous and early late Jurassic.     

U–Pb geochronology and Raman spectroscopy of zircons from the granites in the Xihuashan and Tieshanlong Deposit: Implications for W‐Sn mineralization in Southern Jiangxi Province,South China

The Xihuashan and Tieshanlong tungsten deposit is an important large quartz vein‐type W‐polymetallic deposit in the southern Jiangxi Province, eastern Nanling Range. Zircon U–Pb analyses of representative ore‐forming granites from the Xihuashan and Tieshanlong tungsten deposit yield ages of 146.3 ± 2.9 Ma and 146.0 ± 3.8 Ma, respectively. According to the zircon Raman spectroscopy, these granitic rocks are disturbed by different degrees of hydrothermal alteration, whereas most zircons exhibit primary oscillatory zoning and Th/U ratios in the range of magmatic zircon, which means the analysis results represent the crystallization age of metallogenetic granitic assemblages. In combination with regional geological data, it is suggested that the Late Jurassic is probably another important episode of granitic magmatism and W‐Sn mineralization in southern Jiangxi Provinces, even South China.     

赣南兴国县张家地钼钨矿床成岩成矿时代及地质意义

地处EW向南岭成矿带和NE向武夷山成矿带叠置部位的赣南兴国-宁都钨锡矿集区产有多处不同矿化类型的钨锡多金属矿床,但总体研究程度较低。本文基于详细野外地质调查,重点开展了张家地钼钨矿床的高精度成岩成矿年代学研究,并探讨了区域钨锡矿床成岩成矿时空分布及地球动力学背景。张家地钼钨矿化产于花岗岩与震旦纪浅变质细碎屑岩的内、外接触带,包括石英脉型(王泥排矿段)和云英岩型(刘家庄矿段)两种矿化类型。利用SHRIMP锆石U-Pb法,获得张家地钼钨矿区似斑状中细粒黑云母花岗岩的年龄为154.1±1.8Ma;利用辉钼矿Re-Os法,获得王泥排矿段石英脉型矿体的辉钼矿Re-Os等时线年龄为158.4±3.1Ma、加权平均年龄为157.7±1.4Ma,刘家庄矿段云英岩型矿体的辉钼矿Re-Os等时线年龄为161.9±3.2Ma、加权平均年龄为157.9±1.6Ma,厘定矿床成岩成矿时代为晚侏罗世,对应于华南中生代第二次大规模成矿作用。石英脉型和云英岩型矿体中辉钼矿的铼含量均较低(9.58×10-6~22.65×10-6),表明成矿物质以壳源为主;综合分析区域最新年代学数据资料,表明钨锡矿床成岩成矿具多期性,主要集中在240~210Ma、170~150Ma和130~90Ma,以赣南和湘南为中心,钨锡矿床向四周成矿年龄均呈变小趋势。燕山期钨锡大规模成岩成矿作用主要形成于华南中生代岩石圈伸展-减薄时期的侏罗纪板内拉张的地球动力学背景。     

^40Ar-^39Ar Isotopic Dating of the Xianghualing Sn-polymetallic Orefield in Southern Hunan, China and Its Geological Implications

The Xianghualing Sn-polymetallic orefield in Hunan Province, southern China, is a large-size tin orefield. Although numerous studies have been undertaken on this orefield, its genesis, mineralization age, and tectonic setting are still controversial, mainly because of the lack of reliable geochronological data on tin mineralization. The 40Ar/39Ar stepwise heating dating method was first employed on muscovite from different deposits in this orefield. The muscovite sample from the Xianghualing Sn-polymetallic deposit defines a plateau age of 154.4±1.1 Ma and an isochron age of 151.9±3.0 Ma; muscovite from the Xianghuapu W-polymetallic deposit yields a plateau age of 161.3±1.1 Ma and an isochron age of 160.0±3.2 Ma; muscovite from the Jianfengling greisen-type Sn-polymetallic deposit gives a plateau age of 158.7±1.2 Ma and an isochron age of 160.3±3.2 Ma. The tungsten-tin mineralization ages in the Xianghualing area are therefore restricted within 150-160 Ma. The tungsten -tin mineralization in Xianghualing occurred at the same time as the regional tin-tungsten mineralization including the Furong tin orefield, Shizhuyuan tungsten-tin polymetallic deposit and Yaogangxian tungsten-polymetallic deposit. Thus, the large-scale tungsten-tin metallogenesis in South China occurring at 160-150 Ma. probably is closely related to asthenospheric upwelling and crust-mantle interaction under a geodynamic setting of crustal extension and lithosphere thinning during the transformation of tectonic regimes during the Mid-Late Jurassic.     

Geological Characteristics of the Furong Tin Orefield, Hunan,~(40)Ar-~(39)Ar Dating of Tin Ores and Related Granite and Its Geodynamic Significance for Rock and Ore Formation

Furong, Hunan, is a large tin orefield discovered in China in recent years, which is mainly of the skarn-greisen-chlorite type. On the basis of the geological characteristics of the orefield, 40Ar-39Ar dating was performed on muscovite from greisen-type tin ore and biotite from related amphibole-biotite granite, which yielded three sets of age data, i.e., a plateau age of 157.5±0.3 Ma and an isochron age of 156.9±3 Ma for amphibole-biotite granite; a plateau age of 156.1±0.4 Ma and an isochron age of 155.7±1.7 Ma for the Sanmen greisen-type tin ore; and a plateau age of 160.1±0.9 Ma and an isochron age of 157.5±1.5 Ma for the Taoxiwo greisen-type tin ore. The three sets of age data coincide well with each other. They not only accurately reflect the timing of rock and ore formation but also indicate close relations between granite and tin deposits. In addition, the plateau ages of all three sets suggest that no subsequent thermal perturbation event occurred after the formation of granite and tin dep     

Magmatic‐Hydrothermal Mineralization Sequence in Xinlu Ore Field,Guangxi, South China: Constraints from Zircon U‐Pb,Molybdenite Re‐Os,and Muscovite Ar‐Ar Dating

The Xinlu Sn‐polymetallic ore field is located in the western Nanling Polymetallic Belt in northeastern Guangxi, South China, where a number of typical skarn‐, hydrothermal vein‐type tin deposits have developed. There are two types of Sn deposits: skarn‐type and sulfide‐quartz vein‐type. The tin mineralizations mainly occur on the south side of the Guposhan granitic complex pluton and within its outer contact zone. To constrain the Sn mineralization age and further understand its genetic links to the Guposhan granitic complex, a series of geochronological works has been conducted at the Liuheao deposit of the ore field using high‐precision zircon SHRIMP U‐Pb, molybdenite Re‐Os, and muscovite Ar‐Ar dating methods. The results show that the biotite‐monzogranite, which is part of the Xinlu intrusive unit of the Guposhan complex pluton, has a SHRIMP U‐Pb zircon age of 161.0 ± 1.5 Ma. The skarn‐type ore has a ⁴⁰Ar‐³⁹Ar muscovite plateau age of 160 ± 2 Ma (same as its isochron age), and the sulfide‐quartz vein‐type ore yields an Re‐Os molybdenite isochron age of 154.4 ± 3.5 Ma. The magmatic‐hydrothermal geochronological sequence demonstrated that the hydrothermal mineralization took place immediately following the emplacement of the monzogranite, with the skarn metasomatic mineralization stage predating the sulfide mineralization stage. Geochronologically, we have compared this ore field with 26 typical Sn deposits distributed along the Nanling Polymetallic Belt, leading to the suggestion of the magmatic‐metallogenic processes in the Xinlu ore field (ca. 161–154 Ma) as a component of the Early Yanshanian large‐scale Sn‐polymetallic mineralization event (peaked at 160–150 Ma) in the Nanling Range of South China. Petrogenesis of Sn‐producing granite and Sn‐polymetallic mineralization were probably caused by crust–mantle interaction as a result of significant lithospheric extension and thinning in South China in the Late Jurassic.     

Two geodynamic–metallogenic events in the Balkhash (Kazakhstan) and the West Junggar (China): Carboniferous porphyry Cu and Permian greisen W-Mo mineralization

This study focuses on the geochronology and elemental and Nd isotopic geochemistry of the Baogutu Cu deposit and the newly discovered Suyunhe W-Mo deposit in the southern West Junggar ore belt (Xinjiang, China), as well as the geology of the newly discovered Hongyuan Mo deposit in the southern West Junggar ore belt and the Kounrad, Borly, and Aktogai Cu deposits and the East Kounrad, Zhanet, and Akshatau W-Mo deposits in the North Balkhash ore belt (Kazakhstan). The aim is to compare their petrogenesis, tectonic setting, and mineralization and to determine the relationship between the southern West Junggar and North Balkhash ore belts. Based on our newly acquired results, we propose that the Kounrad, Borly, Aktogai, and Baogutu deposits are typical porphyry Cu deposits associated with calc-alkaline magmas and formed in a Carboniferous (327–312 Ma) subduction-related setting. In contrast, the East Kounrad, Zhanet, Akshatau, Suyunhe, and Hongyuan deposits are quartz-vein greisen or greisen W-Mo or Mo deposits associated with alkaline magmas and formed in an early Permian (289–306 Ma) collision-related setting. Therefore, two geodynamic–metallogenic events can be distinguished in the southern West Junggar and North Balkhash ore belts: (1) Carboniferous subduction-related calc-alkaline magma – a porphyry Cu metallogenic event – and (2) early Permian collision-related alkaline magma – a greisen W-Mo metallogenic event. The North Balkhash ore belt is part of the Kazakhstan metallogenic zone, which can be extended eastward to the southern West Junggar in China.     

Molybdenite Re–Os and muscovite 40Ar/39Ar dating of quartz vein-type W–Sn polymetallic deposits in Northern Guangdong, South China

Northern Guangdong is an important part of Nanling tungsten–tin metallogenic belt, South China. The tungsten mineralization in this area consists of mainly quartz–wolframite vein-type mineralization, with W–Sn polymetallic deposits mostly distributed at the outer contact zone between concealed Late Jurassic granitic stocks and Cambrian–Ordovician low-metamorphosed sandstones and shales. Molybdenite Re–Os and muscovite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar isotopic dating of three typical tungsten vein-type deposits (Yaoling, Meiziwo, and Jubankeng) in northern Guangdong, show that two episodes of Late Jurassic W–Sn polymetallic mineralization occurred in this area: an early episode during the Late Jurassic (158–159?Ma) represented by the Yaoling, Hongling, and Meiziwo tungsten deposits, and a younger event during the Early Cretaceous (138?Ma) represented by the Jubankeng deposit. Analysis of available radiometric ages of several W–Sn deposits in the Nanling region indicate that these deposits formed at several intervals during the Mesozoic at 90–100, 134–140, 144–162, and 210–235?Ma, and that large-scale W–Sn mineralization in this region occurred mainly between 150 and 160?Ma.     

SHRIMP zircon U–Pb and molybdenite Re–Os isotopic dating of the tungsten deposits in the Tianmenshan–Hongtaoling W–Sn orefield, southern Jiangxi Province, China, and geological implications

The southern Jiangxi Province is a major part of the Nanling W–Sn metallogenic province of southern China, where all W–Sn ore deposits are temporally and spatially related to Mesozoic granitic intrusions. The Tianmenshan–Hongtaoling orefield is a recently explored territory endowed by several styles of W–Sn mineralization. The orefield comprises three composite granitic plutons: Tianmenshan, Hongtaoling and Zhangtiantang associated with several tens of W–Sn-polymetallic ore deposits (Maoping, Baxiannao, Niuling, Zhangdou, Yaolanzhai and others) along their contacts. In this study, four new SHRIMP zircon U–Pb ages were determined for three composite granitic plutons, and 33 molybdenite samples from five W–Sn deposits were analysed by ICP-MS Re–Os isotopic method. SHRIMP zircon U–Pb ages for both medium to coarse-gained biotite granite and porphyritic biotite monzogranite from the Tianmenshan composite pluton are 157.2 ± 2.2 Ma and 151.8 ± 2.9 Ma, respectively. Molybdenite Re–Os isochron ages for the related Baxiannao fracture-controlled tungsten deposits are 157.9 ± 1.5 Ma. Maoping greisens-type tungsten deposits were emplaced at 155.3 ± 2.8 Ma and the Maoping wolframite–quartz veins at 150.2 ± 2.8 Ma, respectively. The SHRIMP U–Pb age of zircons from the Hongtaoling biotite granite is 151.4 ± 3.1 Ma whereas the molybdenite Re–Os isochron ages of the genetically related Niuling endocontact tungsten quartz veins and Zhangdou exocontact tungsten quartz veins are 154.9 ± 4.1 to 154.6 ± 9.7 Ma and 149.1 ± 7.1 Ma, respectively. The SHRIMP zircon U–Pb age of the Zhangtiantang fine-grained muscovite granite is 156.9 ± 1.7 Ma, whereas the molybdenite Re–Os isochron age for the related Yaolanzhai greisens-type tungsten deposit is 155.8 ± 2.8 Ma. These new age data, combined with those available from the literature, indicate that the ages of W–Sn ores and related granites are Late Jurassic with a peak at 150 to 160 Ma, which corresponds to the widespread Mesozoic metallogenic event in southern China. Molybdenites from this group of tungsten deposits have quite low Re contents (29.1 to 2608 ppb), suggesting continental crustal provenance of the ore metals.     

闽北上房钨矿床锆石U-Pb和辉钼矿Re-Os定年及其地质意义

上房钨矿床是武夷山成矿带新近发现的大型白钨矿矿床,也是福建省发现的钨矿新类型.矿床产于上房似斑状黑云母正长花岗岩体的外接触带上,赋矿围岩主要为古元古代大金山岩组斜长角闪岩和黑云斜长变粒岩,矿体产状与围岩的片理一致,矿石类型为石英细脉型和浸染型,金属矿物主要为白钨矿和辉钼矿,其次为少量磁黄铁矿、黄铁矿和黄铜矿等.野外地质观察和矿化特征研究表明,上房钨矿的矿床类型为接触交代型.采用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb和辉钼矿Re-Os测年技术,对与成矿有关的上房似斑状黑云母正长花岗岩和与白钨矿共生的辉钼矿进行成岩成矿年代测定,获得上房似斑状正长花岗岩体的成岩年龄为158.8±1.6 Ma(1σ),辉钼矿Re-Os模式年龄为159.40±0.86~149.92±1.39 Ma(n=5),模式年龄的加权平均值为156.5±4.0 Ma,等时线年龄为158.1±5.4 Ma(2σ).同位素定年结果表明,上房钨矿床与矿区似斑状黑云母正长花岗岩关系密切,二者均形成于晚侏罗世,与华南地区中生代大规模钨多金属矿床的成矿时代一致.传统观点认为,华南地区晚侏罗世(160~150 Ma)钨多金属矿床大规模成矿作用集中于南岭成矿带中东段的湘南、粤北和赣南地区,而本文的研究结果则说明这一区域成矿作用向北东延伸进入到武夷山成矿带的闽西和闽北地区.因此,华南钨多金属矿床的空间分布不是传统认为的近东西向,而是具有北东向或北东东向展布的特点,是滨太平洋构造-岩浆-成矿域的重要组成部分.

福建行洛坑大型钨矿的地质特征、成矿时代及其找矿意义

行洛坑钨矿是目前福建最大也是武夷山成矿带最大的钨矿,已知储量主要分布于岩体内部,宜归属于斑岩型钨矿范畴。本文通过Re-Os法和Rb-Sr等时线法测定花岗岩体中辉钼矿的Re-Os等时线年龄为156.3±4.8Ma,石英脉中流体包裹体的Rb-Sr等时线年龄为147.5±2.9Ma,表明成矿作用与岩浆岩的形成基本同步,并延续了大约10Ma。因此,行洛坑钨矿虽然属于斑岩型钨钼矿但岩体以外的空间也可能找到石英脉钨矿,而整个武夷山成矿带中生代持续而复杂的成矿历史预示了其良好的找矿前景。     

Geochronology of the Xihuashan Tungsten Deposit in Southeastern China: Constraints from Re–Os and U–Pb Dating

Xihuashan tungsten deposit is one of the earliest explored tungsten deposits in southeastern China. It is a vein type deposit genetically associated with the Xihuashan granite pluton. Here we report new dating and zircon geochemistry results. Re–Os isotopic dating for molybdenite intergrowth with wolframite in the oldest generation of the Xihuashan pluton yielded an isochron age of 157.0 ± 2.5 Ma (2σ). Zircon U–Pb laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) dating shows that the pluton crystallized at 155.7 ± 2.2 Ma (2σ). This age is similar to the molybdenite Re–Os age for the ore deposit within error. This, together with published data, suggests that the major W(Mo)‐Sn mineralization occurred between 160–150 Ma in southeastern China. These deposits constitute a major part of the magmatic‐metallogenic belt of eastern Nanlin. The lower Re content in molybdenite of the Xihuashan tungsten deposit shows crustal origin for the ore‐forming material. The limited direct contributions from the subducting slab for the tungsten mineralization in the Nanling region suggest a change of the style of the paleo‐Pacific plate beneath southeastern China.     

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.     

Temporal consistency between granite evolution and tungsten mineralization in Huamei'ao,southern Jiangxi Province,China: Evidence from precise zircon U–Pb,molybdenite Re–Os,and muscovite 40Ar–39Ar isotope geochronology

The large Huamei'ao tungsten deposit, with total WO₃ reserves of 67,400 tons at an average grade of 1.334% WO₃, is located in the convergent zone of the eastern Nanling E–W-trending tectono-magmatic belt and the western Wuyishan NNE–SSW-trending tectono-magmatic belt in southern Jiangxi Province, China. The tungsten mineralization in this deposit is mainly found in quartz–wolframite veins, with most orebodies distributed at the outer contact zone between concealed Late Jurassic granitic stocks and Sinian weakly metamorphosed sandstones and phyllites. Zircons collected from medium- to fine-grained biotite granite in a diamond drill hole at a sea level of ca. − 10 m yield a crystallization age of 159.9 (± 1.2) Ma through laser ablation–multicollector–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA–MC–ICP–MS) U–Pb dating. Molybdenite and muscovite that were both separated from quartz–wolframite veins yield a Re–Os isochron age of 158.5 (± 3.3) Ma and an ⁴⁰Ar–³⁹Ar weighted plateau age of 157.9 (± 1.1) Ma, respectively. These dates, obtained via three independent geochronological techniques, constrain the ore-forming age of the Huamei'ao deposit and link the genesis of the ore and the underlying granite. Analyses of available high-precision zircon U–Pb, molybdenite Re–Os and muscovite ⁴⁰Ar–³⁹Ar radiometric ages of major W–Sn deposits in southern Jiangxi Province indicate that there is no significant time interval between W–Sn mineralization and its intimately associated parent granite emplacement (interval of 0–6 Ma). These deposits formed over three intervals during the Mesozoic (240–210, 170–150, and 130–90 Ma), with large-scale W–Sn mineralization occurring mainly between 160 and 150 Ma. The majority of W–Sn deposits in this region are located in southern Jiangxi and southern Hunan provinces.     

赣北梅子坑钼矿床辉钼矿Re-Os同位素年龄及其地质意义

运用Re-Os 同位素定年对赣北九岭-鄣公山多金属成矿带梅子坑钼矿床进行成矿年龄的厘定,获得5件钼矿石样品的Re-Os模式年龄为148.2~ 150.7 Ma,加权平均值为（150±1） Ma（MSWD=0.66）,对应的等时线年龄为（148.9±4.4） Ma,指示该矿床的成矿时限为150 Ma左右,表明其形成与晚侏罗世中晚期的岩浆活动有关,可能与该时期由太平洋板块的俯冲而导致的持续挤压作用有关。结合该成矿带上的成岩成矿年龄,可推断该成矿带的形成不仅包括与岩石圈伸展减薄背景有关（约135 Ma）的钨多金属成矿作用,应该还存在中侏罗世晚期以来（约150 Ma）由东亚岩石圈板块汇聚作用而形成的一定规模和强度的晚侏罗世成矿作用。该年龄的精确测定将对赣北九岭-鄣公山多金属成矿带找矿起到很好的指示作用。     

赣南矽卡岩型钨矿成岩成矿年代学及地质意义——以焦里和宝山矿床为例

矽卡岩型钨矿是赣南地区的一种重要钨矿床类型。本文以焦里和宝山两个典型的矽卡岩型钨多金属矿床为例,开展了系统的成岩成矿年代学和岩石地球化学研究,结合区域钨锡矿床最新年代学研究成果,探讨了赣南地区钨矿的成岩成矿时代及形成构造环境。结果表明,焦里矽卡岩型钨多金属矿区斑状花岗闪长岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为164.4±1.1Ma,辉钼矿Re-Os等时线年龄为170.6±4.6Ma;宝山矽卡岩型钨矿区花岗岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为156.6±3.9Ma,辉钼矿Re-Os模式年龄加权平均值为161.0±1.9Ma,厘定了它们的成岩成矿年龄为中-晚侏罗世,同一矿区的成岩和成矿年龄在误差范围内基本一致。结合赣南崇(义)-(大)余-(上)犹钨锡矿集区已有的年代学资料,指出本区的成岩成矿年龄介于170～150Ma,集中在160～150Ma,认为赣南钨矿形成于华南中生代岩石圈伸展-减薄时期的侏罗纪板内拉张的地球动力学背景,系同一成岩成矿系统的产物。

Ore Genesis of the Lunwei Granite‐Related Scheelite Deposit in the Wuyi Metallogenic Belt,Southeast China: Constraints from Geochronology,Fluid Inclusions,and H–O–S Isotopes

A granite‐related scheelite deposit has been recently discovered in the Wuyi metallogenic belt of southeast China. The veinlet–disseminated scheelite occurs mainly in the inner and outer contact zones of the porphyritic biotite granite, spatially associated with potassic feldspathization and silicification. Re–Os dating of molybdenite intergrowths with scheelite yield a well‐constrained isochron age of 170.4 ± 1.2 Ma, coeval with the LA–MC–ICP–MS concordant zircon age of porphyritic biotite granite (167.6 ± 2.2 Ma), indicating that the Lunwei W deposit was formed in the Middle Jurassic (~170 Ma). We identify three stages of ore formation (from early to late): (I) the quartz–K‐feldspar–scheelite stage; (II) the quartz–polymetallic sulfide stage; and (III) the quartz–carbonate stage. Based on petrographic observations and microthermometric criteria, the fluid inclusions in the scheelite and quartz are determined to be mainly aqueous two‐phase (liquid‐rich and gas‐rich) fluid inclusions, with minor gas‐pure and CO₂‐bearing fluid inclusions. Ore‐forming fluids in the Lunwei W deposit show a successive decrease in temperature and salinity from Stage I to Stage III. The homogenization temperature decreases from an average of 299 °C in Stage I, through 251 °C in Stage II, to 212 °C in Stage III, with a corresponding change in salinity from an average of 5.8 wt.%, through 5.2 wt.%, to 3.4 wt.%. The ore‐forming fluids have intermediate to low temperatures and low salinities, belonging to the H₂O–NaCl ± CO₂ system. The δ¹⁸O_H2O values vary from 1.8‰ to 3.3‰, and the δD_V‐SMOW values vary from –66‰ to –76‰, suggesting that the ore‐forming fluid was primarily of magmatic water mixed with various amounts of meteoric water. Sulfur isotope compositions of sulfides (δ³⁴S ranging from –1.1‰ to +2.4‰) and Re contents in molybdenite (1.45–19.25 µg/g, mean of 8.97 µg/g) indicate that the ore‐forming materials originated mainly in the crust. The primary mechanism for mineral deposition in the Lunwei W deposit was a decrease in temperature and the mixing of magmatic and meteoric water. The Lunwei deposit can be classified as a porphyry‐type scheelite deposit and is a product of widespread tungsten mineralization in South China. We summarize the geological characteristics of typical W deposits (the Xingluokeng, Shangfang, and Lunwei deposits) in the Wuyi metallogenic belt and suggest that porphyry and skarn scheelite deposits should be considered the principal exploration targets in this area.
