滇黔交界地区峨眉山玄武岩铜矿化蚀变特征

滇黔交界地区蛾眉山玄武岩铜矿化具层控特征,主要发育于上二叠统蛾眉山玄武岩组第四岩性段下部。矿化主岩为玄武岩流顶部的淬碎玄武质角砾岩和玄武岩流之间的含炭沉积岩;矿石矿物主要为自然铜及其表生氧化产物黑铜矿、赤铜矿、孔雀石等;脉石矿物主要有沥青、炭质物、石英、沸石、方解石、绿帘石等,此外还有少量绿泥石、钠长石、铁阳起石、榍石、辉铜矿、硅孔雀石、铜蓝、褐铁矿等。以玄武岩为主岩的铜矿石典型矿物组合为自然铜 沥青 石英及不含沥青等有机质的自然铜 石英 绿帘石,以含炭沉积岩为主岩的铜矿石典型矿物组合为自然铜 炭质物 沸石 石英( 辉铜矿);原生铜矿化有2个期次：早期铜矿化发生于有机质流体贯人之前,晚期铜矿化发生于有机质流体贯人之后。该类铜矿化的同生火山热液特征不明显,以后生热液矿化为主。淬碎玄武质角砾岩不仅是有机流体的良好储层,也为成矿流体提供了就位空间,是铜矿化层控特征的主要控制因素。有机流体及含碳沉积岩中碳质为成矿物质以自然铜形式沉淀提供了还原条件。     

川南杏仁状玄武岩中沥青与铜矿物的矿物学特征及其成因

川南普格杏仁状玄武岩中普遍产出沥青和铜矿物。沥青主要产于玄武岩气孔、晶洞和裂隙中,少量产于水晶晶体的锥状体部位。铜矿物主要有自然铜、赤铜矿、黑铜矿、硅孔雀石和孔雀石等。自然铜可形成完整晶体,分布于水晶菱面体的锥体顶部,也可呈它形粒状或片状,分布于杏仁体、脉状体沥青的裂隙中和铜球粒核部;赤铜矿主要与板状自然铜一起分布于石英或玉髓脉的裂隙中;黑铜矿常与自然铜一起产出于裂隙或铜球粒中;硅孔雀石呈脉状、浸染状、网状分布在沥青中及其裂隙中,部分硅孔雀石呈皮壳状赋存在自然铜、水晶晶体表面和铜球粒表面;而孔雀石主要分布于铜球粒的最外圈。沥青与铜矿物形成次序为:沥青→自然铜→赤铜矿→黑铜矿→硅孔雀石→孔雀石。沥青和自然铜形成于水晶结晶作用晚期,自然铜形成于沥青之后。碳同位素研究显示沥青为生物成因,可能来源于下二叠统(P13)的碳酸盐岩中的生油层;沥青的红外光谱及螺旋生长纹与气孔构造也证实沥青是由成矿热液中的原油受热裂解为固相;成矿溶液中的有机质成熟度越髙,成矿溶液析出的自然铜越多;铜矿物的演化(Cu→Cu2+)与含有机质的成矿溶液的氧化还原条件及成分变化密切相关。     

川南玄武岩晶洞中的沥青与铜矿物球粒研究

川南普格杏仁状玄武岩晶洞中产出大量石英、水晶、沥青、葡萄石以及铜矿物,根据其产状和矿物组合分为石英沥青、水晶-沥青及水晶-葡萄石球粒三种类型晶洞。水晶-葡萄石晶洞中矿物组合具明显球粒形貌特点,球粒由中心柱状 水晶及垂直水晶柱面生长的葡萄石球粒内圈与铜矿物球粒外圈组成。铜矿物球粒具有明显圈层结构,由自然铜核、黑铜矿 幔、硅孔雀石与孔雀石壳组成。野外及镜下观察显示,铜矿物集合体形态受自然铜形状和产出控制,铜矿物球粒主要分布 于多个葡萄石球粒边缘的汇聚处,核部自然铜为球粒状;脉状铜矿物由一向伸长自然铜与黑铜矿、硅孔雀石等矿物组成, 分布于晶洞裂隙中。碳同位素与红外光谱研究表明晶洞中的沥青为生物成因,属石油沥青,有机质可能来自下二叠统 （P13）碳酸盐。晶洞中矿物为含有机质成矿溶液依次结晶而成,其顺序为：玉髓或石英→水晶、沥青与自然铜→自然铜与 葡萄石→黑铜矿→硅孔雀石→孔雀石→方解石。沥青的螺旋生长花纹特征、水晶中包裹体均一化温度以及水晶中沥青与自 然铜之间的关系显示,沥青是有机质（原油）受热裂解转变而成,其形成温度约为290~230℃,自然铜的结晶温度为230~ 160℃。     

川南普格暗色团块玄武岩中的沥青与自然铜特征及其成因

沥青、自然铜常常与石英出露于杏仁状玄武岩暗色团块的矿物颗粒间或间隙中。自然铜的晶出是在成矿热液中的有机质几乎裂解为沥青和天然气之后。自然铜与沥青的产出互为负相关关系,即暗色团块中的沥青或沥青与石英越发育,沥青中的自然铜含量越低,其附近或周围的自然铜与石英也越发育,但这两者晶出的时间与空间间隔极短,它们之间形成的先后关系依次为：石英→沥青→自然铜。沥青的碳同位素、化学组成及红外光谱测试表明,暗色团块及裂隙石英脉中玄武岩捕虏体中的沥青是生物成因的石油沥青。包裹体测温与拉曼分析给出,成矿热液中的有机质需在较高温度下（>350℃）才能裂解为沥青与天然气（CH₄）,成矿热液温度越高,有机质成熟度就越高,沥青中的有机碳含量也越高,残存在沥青中的自然铜含量就越低。     

川南滇北含自然铜杏仁状玄武岩的矿物组合与成因

峨眉山玄武岩铜矿与基韦诺超大型铜矿相似,杏仁状玄武岩中的自然铜矿石就是该类型铜矿床中的主要组成部分之一,本文称其为"杏仁体式"自然铜矿床。通过矿石矿物标型特征、矿物组合特征以及固溶体分离结构特征等分析研究,认为川南滇北"杏仁体式"自然铜矿为火山热液矿床,形成于低温还原环境,成矿作用发生在岩浆作用结束期及间歇期热液阶段,成矿经历过热液蚀变改造。铜矿物生成顺序为:自然铜→斑铜矿、辉铜矿、黄铜矿→赤铜矿、黑铜矿、孔雀石等。玄武岩中广泛分布的沥青与自然铜同时形成,并为自然铜及铜的硫化物的形成提供了强还原环境。沥青形成温度和斑铜矿-辉铜矿的固溶体分解温度将自然铜形成温度区间限定为290~225℃。     

东天山十里坡地区自然铜矿化的地质特征及成因初步分析

东天山十里坡自然铜矿化主要赋存于马头滩组第一段玄武岩夹层中的蚀变凝灰岩中，硅化、绿帘石化、黝帘石化、绿泥石化、沸石化与自然铜矿化关系密切。初步分析认为东天山十里坡自然铜矿化与同生火山热液作用有关，形成于伸展的构造背景，矿化时代可能为二叠纪，成矿特征与滇黔边境峨嵋玄武岩自然铜矿化具有相似性。     

东天山自然铜矿化带矿石的有机质特征及其意义

新疆东天山地区与玄武岩有关的自然铜矿化带位于东天山觉罗塔格构造带内,自西向东有十里坡、黑龙峰、长城山、东尖峰等主要矿(化)点。本文基于有机质中氯仿沥青“A”及其组分(饱和烃、芳烃、非烃、沥青质)及生物标志物(正构烷烃、类异戊二烯烃、萜烷、甾烷)的分析,研究自然铜矿化带矿石的有机质特征及其与自然铜成矿作用的关系。结果表明,自然铜矿化带矿石中的有机质来源于海相页岩; 有机质总量及氯仿沥青“A”含量较低,应不存在强烈的后期有机质叠加; 各主要矿(化)点的自然铜矿石中,氯仿沥青“A”含量及主要生物标志物特征值均具有变化范围小的特征,其有机质来源一致,并可能经历了相同的成矿作用过程,应无强烈的后期流体改造作用; 自然铜矿石中有机质的成熟度高,热液作用过程中有机质以热解为主,生物降解作用较弱,并指示了高盐度及还原环境,有机质对自然铜成矿的作用与滇黔地区玄武岩自然铜矿床相似,有机质对热液流体形成强还原环境具有重要作用; 有机质特征显示,自然铜的成矿以火山活动间歇期的同生火山热液成矿作用为主。     

峨眉山玄武岩铜矿的三种成矿流体

峨眉山玄武岩铜矿化有3个原生矿化期次.第一期次表现为自然铜及少量硅孔雀石与石英、沸石、绿帘石、绿泥石、钠长石、榍石、铁阳起石等共生,产于玄武岩的气孔中;第二期次表现为自然铜与石英、方解石一起呈网脉状穿插于玄武岩中沥青的裂纹中,或自然铜与沸石一起穿插于含碳沉积岩中炭质的裂纹中,或自然铜与沥青、石英呈浸染状共生;第三期次表现为自然铜与石英一起呈细脉状穿插于石英绿帘石化玄武岩中,没有共生的有机质,有时有方解石脉.     

峨眉山玄武岩组铜矿化与层位关系研究

根据地球化学急变带控矿的分带性规律,在滇黔边界发现了新类型的铜矿化及工业矿体找矿线索。铜矿化一般赋存在二叠系峨眉山玄武岩组,二者之间难于识别,铜矿物以自然铜和黑铜矿为主,赋存于特定的熔结凝灰岩、火山凝灰角砾岩层位,形成作用与有机质有关,很可能形成一种新的铜矿工业类型。基于野外调研和室内岩矿鉴定,按铜矿化的矿物组合及赋存特点,初步划分为：硅质沥青铜矿化;次生氧化、硫化物铜矿化;团块浸染状自然铜矿化;热液蚀变沸石化型黑铜矿化;凝灰角砾岩型黄铜矿化和碳质、硅化木铜矿化等6种铜矿化类型。这些矿化类型分别与相应的玄武岩组韵律层相对应,其中,沥青质铜矿化类型在区域上分布广泛,沥青广泛充填于熔结凝灰岩的气孔和含矿凝灰岩、碳泥质岩石破碎带中,自然铜、黑铜矿等矿物赋存于硅质沥青岩中,矿化层稳定,找矿标志明显,具有重要的创新性研究意义和找矿价值。     

云南鲁甸地区二叠纪玄武岩中铜矿床的碳氧同位素对成矿过程的指示

过去已知在峨眉山玄武岩顶部气孔状熔岩中含有杏仁状自然铜，但很少构成连续的铜矿体。虽然先后探明了几十个小型铜矿或矿化点，但始终未取得找矿突破。最近，在该熔岩层上下的凝灰岩中鉴别出难识别矿化类型，即与沥青和有机质碳紧密伴生的富铜矿石，甚至在气孔状熔岩中发现呈杏仁体含铜沥青，因而可能构成大规模矿化。在矿体中还见到葡萄石-绿泥石-方解石杏仁体和细网脉，与沥青团块抑或共生抑或稍晚于后者。通过对沥青和方解石的碳和碳氧同位素的测定，前者的δ^13CPDB值变化在-32．6‰～-30．9‰之间，后者的δ^18OSMOW和δ^13CPDB值分别为19．0‰～23．0‰和-18．4‰～-13．5‰。初步认为这些沥青为火山喷发后异地石油贯入及挥发的结果。与矿石密切相伴的葡萄石-绿泥石-方解石为矿化过程的蚀变产物。表明含铜流体流经沥青和有机碳富集这些地球化学障时卸载成矿。     

新疆阿吾拉勒陆相火山岩型铜矿成矿研究

阿吾拉勒陆相火山岩型铜矿分为火山热液型、次火山热液型和中低温热液充填脉型，认为岩浆和成矿物质来源于深部地壳或上地幔，成矿与华力西晚期火山一次火山作用密切相关，铜矿是在同一构造环境下同一岩浆源分异演化不同阶段的产物。矿床成因属中低温火山一次火山热液成因。     

新疆谢米斯台地区首次发现自然铜矿化

首次在新疆谢米斯台地区玄武岩中发现自然铜矿化,伴生自然银。同时在区内酸性次火山岩中发现黄铜矿、斑铜矿矿化。自然铜矿化主要发育于蚀变玄武岩及其中的晚期热液脉中,矿化与绿帘石化、碳酸盐化、葡萄石化、沸石化、硅化等关系密切。初步研究表明,区内自然铜、自然银矿化与火山热液作用有关,属于火山岩型;黄铜矿、斑铜矿矿化属于斑岩型。谢米斯台地区可能存在多种铜矿化类型,有望取得铜矿找矿新突破。     

磐石地区粗榆-小铜矿-带金铜矿地质特征

粗榆一小铜矿地区属磐石一双阳接触带金及多金属成矿带的一部分，有良好的成矿地质环境，成矿物质来源于含金较高的石英闪长岩体和晚石炭纪石嘴子组地层等。热液矿化剂来源于岩浆分异晚期汽水热液和地表水的混合，北西向断裂构造及北东、东西向次级构造控制了地层岩浆岩的分布和矿化作用的演化，长期多期次的构造活动和脉岩的侵入使金铜等成矿元素活化富集，在有利的构造位置成矿。主要矿化类型有石英脉型和破碎带蚀变岩型。     

滇西云县-景谷火山弧带官房铜矿床成因:流体包裹体及年代学证据

官房铜矿位于云县-景谷火山弧带北段,矿体主要呈浸染状、网脉状赋存于小定西组杏仁状玄武岩、玄武质角砾岩及其断裂破碎带中.本文采用LA-ICP-MS方法,首次获得小定西组玄武岩锆石U-Pb年龄为234.3±0.8Ma,表明赋矿地层小定西组形成于中三叠世,而不是前人一直认为的晚三叠世.通过矿石中石英、方解石的流体包裹体形貌特征、均一温度和成分的研究,并结合矿区矿石矿物特征,认为官房铜矿至少存在两期不同的成矿作用,即中三叠世火山-次火山热液成矿和后期(可能为新生代)地下水热液叠加改造.结合云县-景谷火山弧的形成演化过程,认为区域中三叠统小定西组玄武岩和芒怀组流纹岩构成了“双峰”式火山岩组合,官房铜矿产于中三叠世裂谷盆地的基性火山岩中,受海陆交互相的古地理环境制约,早期成矿具有VHMS型成矿特征,由于缺乏火山热液成矿流体聚集的“卤水池”,仅发育典型VHMS矿床下部火山通道相中的脉状-网脉状-角砾状矿体,缺少上部厚大的层状矿体,并经历了后期地下水热液的叠加改造.     

Lead isotopic systematics for native copperchalcocite mineralization in basaltic lavas of the Emeishan large igneous province, SW China： Implications for the source of copper

The Emeishan continental flood basalt, which is widespread in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces of Southwest China, is the volcanic product of a Permian mantle plume, and native copper-chalcocite mineralization associated with the basalt is very common in the border area of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. The mineralization occurred in the tuff intercalation and terrestrial sedimentary rock intercalation which were formed during the main period of basalt eruption. The orebodies are controlled by the stratigraphic position and faults. Metal ore minerals in the ores are mainly native copper, chalcocite and tenorite, with small amounts of chalcopyrite, bomite, pyrite and malachite, and sometimes with large amounts of bitumen, carbon and plant debris. Several decades of ore deposits are distributed in the neighboring areas of the two provinces, while most of them are small-scale deposits or only ore occurrences. By comparing the lead isotopic composition of the ores with that of the wall-rocks, cover and basement rocks of various periods, the source of copper in this type of ore deposits was studied in this paper. The results showed that: (1) The Pb isotopic composition of the ores from ten deposits is absolutely different from that of sili-ceous-argillaceus rocks of the Upper Permian Xuanwei Formation, limestones of the Lower Permian Series and Carboniferous, Cambrian sandstone-shale and recta-sedimentary rock and dolomite from the upper part of the Meso-Proterozoic Kunyang Group, This indicates that ore lead was derived neither from the cover rock nor from the basement rocks; (2) Although the Neo-Proterozoic Siman dolomite and silicalite, and dolomite in the lower part of the Kunyang Group are similar in Pb isotopic composition to the ores, lead and copper contents in these rocks are very low and they have not made great contributions to copper mineralization; (3) The ores have the same Pb iso-topic composition as the basalt, the latter being enriched in copper. These facts indicate that lead and copper were derived from the basalt. According to the regional geological data and the geological-geochemical characteristics of the ore deposits, it is suggested that ore-forming materials were leached out from the basalt. The thickness and buried depth of the basalt and regional tectonic dynamics can affect the formation of large-scale copper deposits. Therefore, exploration for this type of ore deposits should be conducted in the areas from western Yunnan to western Sichuan, where there are developed basalts of great thickness, with extensive tectonic movement and magmatic activity.     

Infrared spectral reflectance characterization of the hydrothermal alteration at the Tuwu Cu–Au deposit, Xinjiang, China

Short-wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance spectroscopy was used to characterize hydrothermal minerals and map alteration zones in the Tuwu Cu–Au deposit, Xinjiang, China. The Palaeozoic hydrothermal system at Tuwu is structurally controlled, developed in andesitic volcanic rocks and minor porphyries. Hydrothermal alteration is characterized by horizontally zoned development of quartz, sericite, chlorite, epidote, montmorillonite and kaolin about individual porphyry dykes and breccia zones, as is shown by changes outward from a core of quartz veining and silicification, through an inner zone of sericite + chlorite to a marginal zone of chlorite + epidote. The alteration system comprises several such zoning patterns. Silicification and sericitization are spatially associated with Cu–Au mineralization. Zoning is also shown by compositional variations such that Fe-rich chlorite and Al-rich sericite occur preferentially toward the core and the most intensely altered parts, whereas Mg-rich chlorite and relatively Al-poor sericite are present on the margin and the relatively weakly altered parts of the hydrothermal alteration system. The compositions of chlorite and sericite, therefore, can be potentially used as vectors to Cu–Au mineralization. Montmorillonite and kaolinite, of probable weathering origin, are located near the surface, forming an argillic blanket overlying Cu–Au mineralization. Sporadic montmorillonite is also present at depth in the hydrothermal alteration system, formed by descending groundwater. Presence of a well-developed kaolinite-bearing zone on the surface is an indication of possible underlying Cu–Au mineralization in this region. Epidote occurs widely in regional volcanic rocks, as well as in variably altered rocks on the margin of the hydrothermal mineralization system at Tuwu. The widespread occurrence of epidote in volcanic country rocks probably reflects a regional hydrothermal alteration event prior to the localized, porphyry intrusion-related hydrothermal process that led to the Cu–Au mineralization at Tuwu.     

Recent massive sulfide deposits of the Semenov ore district, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 13°31′ N: Associated rocks of the oceanic core complex and their hydrothermal alteration

The oceanic core complexes and large-offset detachment faults characteristic of the slow-spreading Mid-Atlantic Ridge are crucial for the structural control of large hydrothermal systems, including those forming sub-seafloor polymetallic sulfide mineralization. The structural-geological, petrographic, and mineralogical data are considered for the oceanic core complex enclosing the Semenov-1, -2, -3, -4, and -5 inactive hydrothermal sulfide fields recently discovered on the Mid-Oceanic Ridge at 13°31?? N. The oceanic core complex is composed of serpentinized and talc-replaced peridotites and sporadic gabbroic rocks, however, all hydrothermal fields reveal compositional indications of basaltic substrate. The volcanic structures superposed on the oceanic core complex are marked by outcrops of pillow lavas with fresh quenched glass. Dolerites regarded as volcanic conduits seem to represent separate dike swarms. The superposed volcanic structures develop largely along the near-latitudinal high-angle tectonic zone controlling the Semenov-1, -2, -5, and -3 hydrothermal sulfide fields. The manifestations of hydrothermal metasomatic alteration are diverse. The widespread talcose rocks with pyrrhotite-pyrite mineralization after serpentinite, as well as finding of talc-chlorite metabasalt are interpreted as products of hydrothermal activity in the permeable zone of detachment fault. Chloritization and brecciation of basalts with superposed quartz or opal, barite, and pyrite or chalcopyrite mineralization directly related to the sub-seafloor sulfide deposition. The native copper mineralization in almost unaltered basalts at the Semenov-4 field is suggested to precipitate from ore-forming fluids before they reach the level of sub-seafloor sulfide deposition. Amphibolites with plagiogranite veinlets are interpreted as tectonic fragments of the highest-temperature portions of hydrothermal systems, where partial melting of basic rocks in the presence of aqueous fluid with formation of plagiogranitic melt is possible. Silicic rocks (plagiogranite, tonalite and diorite) revealed in the tectonic zone controlling the Semenov-1, -2, -5, and -3 hydrothermal sulfide fields are related to both plutonic and subvolcanic bodies and considered to be products of partial melting of basic rocks at deep levels of the hydrothermal systems. The hydrothermal fields differ in their structural position. The giant Semenov-4 field is located at the area where the hanging-wall basalt wedges out and the detachment fault zone reaches the oceanic floor. The range of relatively small Semenov-1, -2, -3, and 5 fields develops on the oceanic core complex massif, being localized in the superposed volcanic structures within the near-latitudinal steeply dipping tectonic zone. The structural control of the hydrothermal fields at 13°31?? N is also interpreted in different ways. For the Semenov-4 field, the ascending fluid flow can be related to the permeable detachment fault zone. The root zone of the hydrothermal system with a magmatic heater could have been localized at a significant distance beneath the axial spreading zone. For the other four relatively small fields, it is suggested that the ascending fluid flows and roots of the hydrothermal systems are controlled by the volcanic structures superposed on the oceanic ore complex within the steeply dipping tectonic zone.     

云南中甸红牛-红山矽卡岩型铜矿床矿物学特征与成矿作用

红牛-红山矿床位于西南三江成矿带的中甸岛弧,是形成于晚燕山期的矽卡岩型铜矿床。矿区与成矿作用密切相关的石英二长斑岩中角闪石和黑云母斑晶的出现以及较高的含F量(分别为1.49%和2.62%),表明其岩浆为富H2O富挥发分熔体;石英斑晶具有港湾状、浑圆状的溶蚀表面和钾长石细晶外壳,并且显示了典型的骸晶状结构指示了其岩浆经历了快速上升侵位过程和岩浆热液的自交代作用;钻孔中岩浆热液角砾岩和大量石英细脉的出现暗示了岩浆在快速上侵过程中发生了隐爆作用,形成并出溶了含有大量F、Cl等组分的高盐度超临界流体。矽卡岩阶段石榴子石和透辉石具有明显的三个期次:早期细粒的钙铝榴石(And22-57)和角岩中的透辉石(Hd7-27)形成于少量高温气液岩浆流体与围岩的扩散交代作用;中期粗粒的钙铁榴石(And75-98)和次透辉石-钙铁辉石(Hd10-99)形成于大量高温、低氧逸度的岩浆流体与围岩的渗滤交代作用;晚期的钙铝榴石脉(And14-60)和钙铁辉石脉(Hd31-58)形成于低温、高氧逸度的早期交代残留溶液。矽卡岩矿物的生成,使碳酸盐围岩丢失CO2,矿物体积减少,孔隙度和渗透性增加,为成矿提供了条件。退化变质阶段的透闪石、阳起石、绿帘石、绿泥石等交代早期矽卡岩矿物,消耗了成矿流体中大量的CO2和H2O,生成含水矿物以及石英、方解石,使围岩裂隙愈合,孔隙流体压力增加,导致成矿流体沸腾,形成大量黄铜矿、磁黄铁矿、黄铁矿、辉钼矿化。石英-硫化物阶段,由于成矿流体超压→流体沸腾,裂隙生成→减压排泄,裂隙愈合→流体超压的循环,在此过程中围岩经历了多次破裂和裂隙的愈合,直至整个成矿体系完全开放,并与大气水发生混合,使成矿流体中剩余金属最终沉淀。     

Geochemical characteristics of gold mineralization of the Huai Kham On deposit,Sukhothai Fold Belt,Northern Thailand

The Huai Kham On gold deposit is located in the central part of the Sukhothai Fold Belt, northern Thailand. The Sukhothai Fold Belt represents an accretionary complex formed by subduction and collision between the Indochina and Sibumasu Terranes. There are many small gold deposits in the Sukhothai Fold Belt; however, the styles and formation environments of those gold deposits are not clear. The geology of the Huai Kham On deposit consists of volcanic and volcanosedimentary rocks, limestone, and low‐grade metamorphic rocks of Carboniferous to Triassic age. Gold‐bearing quartz veins are hosted by volcanic and volcanosedimentary rocks. The quartz veins can be divided into four stages. The mineral assemblage of the gold‐bearing quartz veins of Stages I and II comprises quartz, calcite, illite, pyrite, native gold, galena, chalcopyrite, and sphalerite. Quartz veins of Stage III consist of microcrystalline quartz, dolomite, calcite, pyrite, native gold, and chalcopyrite. Veins of Stage IV consist of calcite, dolomite, chlorite, and quartz. Fluid inclusions in quartz veins are classified into liquid‐rich two‐phase (Types I_A and I_B), carbonic‐aqueous (Type II), and carbonic (Type III) fluid inclusions. The homogenization temperatures of Types I_A and II fluid inclusions that are related to the gold‐bearing quartz veins from Stages I to III ranged from 240° to 280°C. The δ¹⁸O values of quartz veins of Stages I to III range from +12.9 to +13.4‰, suggesting the presence of a homogeneous hydrothermal solution without temperature variation such as a decrease of temperature during the formation of gold‐bearing quartz veins from Stages I to III in the Huai Kham On gold deposit. Based on the calculated formation temperature of 280°C, the δ¹⁸O values of the hydrothermal solution that formed the gold‐bearing quartz veins range from +3.2 to +3.7‰, which falls into the range of metamorphic waters. The gold‐bearing quartz veins of the Huai Kham On deposit are interpreted to be the products of metamorphic water.
