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.     

湖南龙山锑金矿床白云母~(40)Ar-~(39)Ar年代学及其意义初探

龙山锑金矿是湘中Sb-Au矿集区内规模最大的脉状锑金矿床,但其精确的成矿时代尚未厘定。本次工作发现该矿床第Ⅰ成矿阶段的石英硫化物脉中发育少量的热液白云母。通过40Ar-39Ar年代学测定,确定了白云母的~(40)Ar-~(39)Ar同位素坪年龄为162. 5±1. 8Ma,相应的等时线年龄为161. 1±1. 2Ma(MSWD=1. 0),反等时线年龄为161. 1±1. 2Ma(MSWD=1. 0)。根据矿物共生组合特征,认为白云母的~(40)Ar-~(39)Ar坪年龄能代表龙山锑金矿床的成矿年龄。结合湘中地区其他锑(金)矿床的年代学研究成果,本文认为,该地区在155~162Ma之间有一次热液成矿事件,与南岭地区165~150Ma与花岗岩有关的钨锡多金属矿床的成矿时代相一致。湘中地区已有的S同位素地球化学和地球物理学资料表明,该地区锑金矿床的形成可能与岩浆作用有关,类似于南岭地区晚侏罗世钨锡多金属矿床的构造背景。     

广西中部大明山钨矿白云母40Ar/39Ar定年 及其地质意义

大明山钨矿床是一个与岩浆活动有关的多金属矿床。为确定钨矿床的成矿时代,对钨矿床中的白云母进行40Ar/39Ar快中子活化测年,获得白云母坪年龄为(97.10±0.86)Ma,相应的等时线年龄和反等时线年龄分别为(96.6±1.7)Ma和(96.5 ±1.1)Ma。结果表明,钨矿矿化年龄为97Ma,为燕山晚期本区成岩成矿活动的产物。该成果为进一步认识大明山钨矿的成因机制和成矿动力学背景提供了新的年代学证据。     

Precise molybdenite Re–Os and mica Ar–Ar dating of the Mesozoic Yaogangxian tungsten deposit, central Nanling district, South China

The Yaogangxian deposit in the central Nanling region, South China consists of vein-type ore bodies hosted in Cambrian to Jurassic strata and Mesozoic granitic intrusions. Wolframite and molybdenite are the dominant ore minerals intergrown with gangue minerals of quartz, feldspar, phlogopite, and muscovite. We have carried out molybdenite Re–Os and phlogopite and muscovite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating to better understand the timing and genesis of mineralization. Re–Os dating of eight molybdenite samples yielded model ages ranging from 152.0±3.5 to 161.1±4.5 Ma, with an average of 156.0 Ma. The Re–Os analyses give a well-defined ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁷Os isochron with an age of 154.9±2.6 Ma (MSWD=2.4). Hydrothermal phlogopite and muscovite display extremely flat ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age spectra. Phlogopite yields a ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateau age of 153.0±1.1 Ma, whereas muscovite yields a plateau age of 155.1±1.1 Ma. Both ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages are in good agreement with the Re–Os ages, placing the timing of tungsten mineralization at about 154 Ma. This age is consistent with the field relationships. Our new data, when combined with published geochronological results from other major deposits in this region, suggest that large scale W–Sn mineralization occurred throughout the central Nanling region in the Late Jurassic.

内蒙古沙麦钨矿白云母40Ar/39Ar年龄及其地质意义

内蒙古沙麦钨矿床位于中亚造山带东段（或称兴蒙造山带）,矿体主要赋存在黑云母二长花岗（斑）岩内,主要矿化类型为伟晶岩型和云英岩型。本文利用40Ar/39Ar同位素测年方法对沙麦钨矿成矿阶段形成的白云母进行了年龄测定,获得白云母Ar-Ar坪年龄为138.4 ± 0.84 Ma,对应的正、反等时线年龄分别为137.32 ± 0.73 Ma和137.35 ± 0.73 Ma。所测坪年龄与正反等时线年龄具有很好的一致性,可以代表矿床钨矿体的形成年龄,表明该矿床的形成与沙麦地区燕山晚期的岩浆活动有关,这与区域上的成矿事件相吻合。结合区域地球动力学背景的研究成果,认为沙麦钨矿床形成于陆-陆碰撞造山后的陆内伸展环境。     

藏南错那洞铍稀有多金属成矿时代:来自热液白云母Ar-Ar年龄的约束

特提斯喜马拉雅是继华南和新疆阿尔泰之后又一条新发现的大型稀有金属成矿带,其成矿时代受到广泛的关注。本文以代表性矿床错那洞铍稀有多金属矿床为研究对象,挑选出矽卡岩型矿化体中的热液白云母,利用Ar-Ar同位素定年的方式测定热液活动时间,以此限制成矿时代。结果显示错那洞穹窿矽卡岩型矿体中白云母Ar-Ar同位素坪年龄为14.21±0.22Ma,对应的~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar-~(39)Ar/~(36)Ar的等时线年龄为14.21±0.27Ma,与错那洞穹窿中具有高分异特征的白云母花岗岩浆侵位时间(～14Ma)一致,表明错那洞矽卡岩型铍稀有多金属矿床的成矿年龄为～14Ma,而与穹窿内高分异白云母花岗岩一致的年龄暗示了该高分异花岗岩为该期矽卡岩型稀有金属矿化的成矿母岩浆。

内蒙古红花尔基钨钼矿云英岩化白云母Ar-Ar定年及其地质意义

红花尔基钨多金属矿是近年在大兴安岭中北部地区发现的一处大型钨多金属矿床,主要矿化蚀变为云英岩化、绢英岩化,主要有用金属矿物为白钨矿和辉钼矿,岩体内辉钼矿与白钨矿有上钼下钨的带状分布特点,地质特征显示该矿床为一高温热液型钨(钼)矿床。为准确限定成矿热液活动时间,本文对矿区典型蚀变矿物——云英岩化蚀变带白云母进行Ar-Ar同位素定年,获得Ar-Ar坪年龄为174.4±1.2 Ma,等时线年龄为173.2±4.3 Ma。根据矿区云英岩化带与钨钼矿化带空间上重合和密切共生的关系,可知白云母的形成是与白钨矿、辉钼矿形成同源、同时,且辉钼矿Re-Os年龄(176.8±2.2 Ma)与Ar-Ar年龄在误差范围内具有一致性,该年龄代表了钨钼矿热液成矿时代。结合野外地质特征及锆石U-Pb、辉钼矿Re-Os年龄,进一步限定该矿床成矿时代为早中侏罗世,属燕山期构造岩浆活动的产物。     

Geochronology of the Limu W–Sn–Nb–Ta‐Bearing Granite Pluton in South China

Limu W–Sn–Nb–Ta mining district is located in the Nanling Range W–Sn poly‐metallic mineralization belt in south China. The district includes a number of Sn–Nb–Ta and W–Sn ore occurrences; all of them are spatially associated with granite stocks of a largely‐unexposed pluton, the Limu granitic pluton. A granite sample collected from the Sn–Nb–Ta‐bearing Jinzhuyuan granite stock yields a zircon SHRIMP U–Pb age of 218.3 ± 2.4 Ma, a muscovite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateau age of 212.4 ± 1.4 Ma, and a muscovite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar isochron age of 213.2 ± 2.2 Ma. Another granite sample collected from the W–Sn‐bearing Sangehuangniu granite stock yields a zircon SHRIMP U–Pb age of 214 ± 5 Ma. The geochronological data provide new constraints on the age of the Limu granite pluton and the timing of the associated W–Sn–Nb–Ta mineralization—at least it sets a reasonable upper age limit for the mineralization of the W–Sn–Nb–Ta ores. The reported ages suggest an active Late Triassic granitic magmatism in Limu area which is part of a regional magmatic event near the end of the Indosinian orogeny in south China.     

Timing and Processes of Ore Formation in the Qingchengzi Polymetallic Orefield, Northeast China: Evidence from 40Ar/39Ar Geochronology

The Qingchengzi orefield is a large polymetallic ore concentration area in the Liaodong peninsula,northeastern China,that includes twelve Pb-Zn deposits and five Au-Ag deposits along its periphery.The ore-forming age remains much disputed,which prevents the identification of the relationship between the mineralization and the associated magmatism.In this paper,we quantitatively present the feasibility of making ore mineral ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar dating and report reliable ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar ages of lamprophyre groundmass,K-feldspar and sphalerite from the Zhenzigou deposit.Direct and indirect methods are applied to constrain the timing of mineralization,which plays a vital role in discussing the contribution of multistage magmatism to ore formation.The low-potassium sphalerite yielded an inverse isochron age of 232.8±41.5 Ma,which features a relatively large uncertainty.Two lamprophyre groundmasses got reliable inverse isochron ages of 193.2±1.3 Ma and 152.3±1.5 Ma,respectively.K-feldspar yielded a precise inverse isochron age of 134.9±0.9 Ma.These four ages indicate that the mineralization is closely associated with Mesozoic magmatism.Consequently,regarding the cooling age of the earliest Mesozoic Shuangdinggou intrusion(224.2±1.2 Ma)as the initial time of mineralization,we can further constrain the age of the sphalerite to 224–191 Ma.These new and existing geochronological data,combined with the interaction cutting or symbiotic relationship between the lamprophyre veins and ore veins,suggest that the Pb-Zn-Au-Ag mineralization in the Qingchengzi orefield mainly occurred during three periods:the late Triassic(ca.224–193 Ma),the late Jurassic(ca.167–152 Ma)and the early Cretaceous(ca.138–134 Ma).This polymetallic deposits are shown to have been formed during multiple events coinciding with periods of the Mesozoic magmatic activity.In contrast,the Proterozoic magmatism and submarine exhalative and hydrothermal sedimentation in the Liaolaomo paleorift served mainly to transport and concentrate the ore-forming substances at the Liaohe Group with no associated Pb-Zn-Au-Ag mineralization.     

A precise U–Pb age on cassiterite from the Xianghualing tin-polymetallic deposit (Hunan,South China)

We report the first precise U–Pb isotope data on cassiterite from the large Xianghualing tin-polymetallic deposit in the central Nanling district, South China. The results show that four separates from sample XF-51 have a relatively narrow range of ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U apparent ages, varying from 152 to 157 Ma, and the three ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U apparent ages yield a weighted average value of 156 ± 4 Ma (MSWD = 0.32). Separates from two other cassiterite samples do not have sufficient radiogenic Pb to generate a reliable ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age. Seven separates from the above three cassiterite samples define a well-constrained ²³⁸U–²⁰⁶Pb isochron corresponding to an age of 157 ± 6 Ma (MSWD = 34). A comparison of the U–Pb cassiterite ages with published Ar–Ar dates on muscovite from this deposit and K–Ar age data on biotite from the pluton genetically related to the tin mineralization in this area demonstrates that the U–Pb isotope system of cassiterite is a potential geochronometer. Combined with the Ar–Ar dates of muscovite from this deposit, we can constrain the absolute age of tin-polymetallic mineralization in Xianghualing at 154–157 Ma. The dates obtained in this study, consistent with the published geochronological results from other important deposits in this region, reveal that the large-scale tungsten–tin mineralization in the central Nanling region was predominantly emplaced during 150–161 Ma.     

40Ar/39Ar Dating of Xuebaoding Granite in the Songpan-Garzê Orogenic Belt, Southwest China, and its Geological Significance

<正>Thus far,our understanding of the emplacement of Xuebaoding granite and the occurrence and evolution of the Songpan-Garze Orogenic Belt has been complicated by differing age spectra results.Therefore,in this study,the ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar and sensitive high resolution ion micro-probe(SHRIMP) U-Pb dating methods were both used and the results compared,particularly with respect to dating data for Pankou and Pukouling granites from Xuebaoding,to establish ages that are close to the real emplacements.The results of SHRIMP U-Pb dating for zircon showed a high amount of U,but a very low value for Th/U.The high U amount,coupled with characteristics of inclusions in zircons,indicates that Xuebaoding granites are not suitable for U-Pb dating.Therefore,muscovite in the same granite samples was selected for ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar dating.The ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar age spectrum obtained on bulk muscovite from Pukouling granite in the Xuebaoding,gave a plateau age of 200.1±1.2 Ma and an inverse isochron age of 200.6±1.2 Ma.The ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar age spectrum obtained on bulk muscovite from Pankou granite in the Xuebaoding gave another plateau age of 193.4±1.1 Ma and an inverse isochron age of 193.7±1.1 Ma. The ~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar intercept of 277.0±23.4(2σ) was very close to the air ratio,indicating that no apparent excess argon contamination was present.These age dating spectra indicate that both granites were emplaced at 200.6±1.3 Ma and 193.7±1.1 Ma,respectively.Through comparison of both dating methods and their results,we can conclude that it is feasible that the muscovite in the granite bearing high U could be used for ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar dating without extra Ar.Based on this evidence,as well as the geological characteristics of the Xuebaoding W-Sn-Be deposit and petrology of granites,it can be concluded that the material origin of the Xuebaoding W-Sn-Be deposit might partially originate from the Xuebaoding granite group emplacement at about 200 Ma.Moreover,compared with other granites and deposits distributed in various positions in the Songpan-Garze Orogenic Belt,the Xuebaoding emplacement ages further show that the main rare metal deposits and granites in peripheral regions occurred earlier than those in the inner Songpan-Garze.Therefore,~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar dating of Xuebaoding granite will lay a solid foundation for studying the occurrence and evolution of granite and rare earth element deposits in the Songpan-Garze Orogenic Belt.     

广西大瑶山地区加里东期石英脉型金矿：上木水金矿白云母Ar-Ar年龄约束

石英脉型金矿是广西大瑶山地区主要的金矿床类型之一,但一直没有高精度的年龄数据约束其成矿时代。论文首次 对大瑶山南部广西苍梧县上木水石英脉型金矿中的热液白云母进行39Ar/40Ar年龄法测年,获得坪年龄为（432.6 ± 3.2）Ma,相应 的等时线年龄为（428.2 ± 7.2）Ma,反等时线年龄为（425.3 ± 6.6）Ma,表明其成矿时代为加里东期。这一数据进一步证明 大瑶山南部的古龙-夏郢环形成矿区主要以加里东期矿化为主,除了与加里东期岩浆岩有关的斑岩-矽卡岩型钨多金属矿化 外,还存在石英脉型金矿。同时,位于大瑶山中部沿区域性大黎断裂分布的六岑-桃花-古袍金矿田的石英脉型金矿时代仍 然不明确,还需要进一步的高精度测年数据来约束。     

40Ar/39Ar Ages of the Da Lien Granite Related to the Nui Phao W Mineralization in Northern Vietnam

⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating was conducted on the Da Lien granite related to greisen‐skarn type polymetallic (W‐CaF₂‐Cu‐Bi‐Au) mineralization in Nui Phao, northern part of Vietnam in the South China Plate. Biotite and muscovite separates from the biotite‐muscovite granite and greisenized granite indicate four plateau ages: 82.2 ± 0.4 Ma, 82.8 ± 0.3 Ma, 81.5 ± 0.3 Ma and 82.5 ± 0.4 Ma. The plateau ages were not significantly influenced by excess ⁴⁰Ar in dated minerals or by loss of radiogenic ⁴⁰Ar due to hydrothermal activities. The results indicate that solidification of granite related to the polymetallic mineralization occurred in the Late Cretaceous between 82.8 Ma and 81.5 Ma.

云南个旧锡铜多金属矿区云母~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar年龄及其地质意义

云南个旧是全球最大的锡铜多金属矿区,主要成矿作用是与燕山期花岗岩密切相关的岩浆-热液体系。矿区内铜矿的主要矿床类型为变玄武岩型层状铜矿和接触带型铜矿。赋存于花岗岩体的凹陷部位,接触带型铜矿体和氧化型矿体的精确年龄尚未有报道。以老厂矿田内与铜矿体同期的等粒花岗岩脉中的黑云母和与氧化矿同时形成的白云母作为研究对象,利用常规~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar同位素定年方法,获得了黑云母和白云母的~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar坪年龄分别为82.47±0.49Ma和76.17±0.42Ma,相应的正等时线年龄为82.38±0.48Ma和76.07±0.66Ma,反等时线年龄为82.38±0.49Ma和76.07±0.73Ma。结合野外地质接触关系和矿区内其他年代学结果认为,黑云母的~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar年龄82.38±0.48Ma可以代表接触带型铜矿体的形成年龄,也揭示了新山花岗岩体形成后的快速冷却作用过程;白云母的~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar年龄76.07±0.73Ma指示了氧化型矿体的形成年龄,也记录了矿区内与甲介山同期的南北向断裂的晚期活动时限。该年龄与个旧锡铜多金属矿床的成矿时代一致。

个旧卡房层状铜矿床金云母和云英岩化白云母40Ar-39Ar同位素年龄及意义

在个旧锡铜多金属矿集区发育有矽卡岩型和热液脉型等锡铜矿化体,其形成时代是晚白垩世,属与花岗岩有关的岩浆热液成因矿床。赋存于三叠纪蚀变玄武岩层中,呈(似)层状的铜矿体的精确年龄尚未有报道,成因仍备受争议。文章选择赋存于卡房矿田蚀变玄武岩层中,呈(似)层状分布的铜矿体中的金云母,及新山岩体接触带云英岩中的白云母为研究对象,利用⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar阶段加热同位素定年方法对它们进行了年代学研究,获得了金云母和白云母的⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar同位素坪年龄分别为(79.55±0.47) Ma和(79.53±0.57) Ma,对应等时线年龄分别为(79.8±1.3) Ma和(79.7±1.0) Ma,反等时线年龄分别为(79.7±2.0) Ma和(79.61±0.75) Ma,两者年龄基本一致。结合矿物共生组合特征和流体包裹体测温资料,认为金云母的坪年龄(79.55±0.47) Ma,可以代表卡房蚀变玄武岩中(似)层状铜矿的形成时代,而白云母的坪年龄(79.53±0.57) Ma,则代表新山岩体形成后期岩浆热液活动的年龄。这2个年龄与个旧锡铜多金属矿床的成矿时代基本一致,应是同一构造-岩浆-流体活动形成的成矿系列产物。
