云南哈播斑岩铜(-钼-金)矿床流体包裹体研究

哈播斑岩Cu-(Mo-Au)矿床产于哀牢山富碱斑岩带的南段,形成于青藏高原后碰撞阶段构造转换环境,属于陆-陆碰撞型斑岩矿床.根据脉体的交切关系,确定哈播矿床各种脉的演化序列为早期石英脉→石英-黄铜矿脉→石英辉钼矿脉.脉中流体包裹体的岩相学、显微测温和激光拉曼光谱分析等研究结果显示,各期脉中均有富气相包裹体、富液相包裹体和含子矿物多相包裹体,各种包裹体的气相均含有CO2、SO2、H2O等气体.各期脉中多种包裹体并存并具有相似的均一温度范围,富液相包裹体均一温度149～427℃,盐度ω(NaCleq)6.0％～15.0％;富气相包裹体均一温度205～405℃,盐度ω(NaCleq) 3.4％～19.0％;含子矿物多相包裹体均一温度305～516℃,盐度w(NaCleq) 33.5％～61.0％.哈播矿床的初始成矿流体由稳定共存、不混溶的低盐度流体和高盐度流体组成,高盐度流体是哈播矿床成矿元素迁移的主要载体.成矿流体在400℃左右发生“二次沸腾”、分相,温度下降和挥发分持续逃逸可能是Cu-Au成矿的诱因.Mo元素在成矿流体多次沸腾、分相过程中,持续优先分配进入高盐度流体中而逐步富集;温度下降,使含钼硫化物在流体中溶解度降低、沉淀,形成石英-辉钼矿±黄铜矿脉.     

板溪锑矿床流体包裹体研究

板溪锑矿床是湘中锑矿矿集区内的一个中型石英脉型锑矿床,赋存于板溪群五强溪组浅变质碎屑岩中,受NE向的桃江—城步断裂带控制。流体包裹体研究表明,板溪锑矿流体包裹体类型包括富液相水溶液包裹体(Ⅰ型)、富二氧化碳包裹体(Ⅱ型)、纯液相包裹体(Ⅲ型)三类;流体盐度为w(NaCl,eq)=3.4%~7.7%,均一温度为181~331℃,流体的密度为0.78~0.92g/cm~3,矿区成矿流体具有中低温、低盐度、低密度的特点,成矿流体的pH值为5.72,估计成矿压力为49~91 MPa,成矿的地壳深度为5.6~7.8km;均一温度与盐度呈正相关关系,成矿过程中两种流体发生混合作用而成矿。     

河南灵宝樊岔金矿床成矿流体和同位素地球化学研究

樊岔金矿床位于小秦岭金矿田的娘娘山岩体西南侧,受观音堂剪切带控制,赋矿围岩为太华超群变质岩。根据矿物组合特征和脉体穿插关系,成矿可分为早、中、晚3个阶段,分别以石英+钾长石±黄铁矿、石英+多金属硫化物、石英+方解石±黄铁矿为标志,以中阶段矿化最为重要。热液石英发育纯CO2包裹体(PC型)、CO2-H2O包裹体(C型)、水溶液包裹体(W型)和含子晶多相包裹体(S型)。早阶段流体包裹体主要为C型,次为PC型及少量的W型和S型包裹体,均一温度的峰值为340～360℃,盐度w(NaCleq)峰值为14.0%～16.0%。与早阶段相比,中阶段PC型、C型包裹体数量减少,W型、S型包裹体数量增多,均一温度峰值为320～340℃,盐度w(NaCleq)峰值为12.0%～14.0%。晚阶段只发育W型包裹体,均一温度峰值为180～200℃,盐度w(NaCleq)峰值为2.0%～4.0%。激光拉曼探针显示早阶段流体包裹体富含CO2和CH4,中阶段包裹体中仅富含CO2,而晚阶段包裹体中不含CO2或CH4。结合氢、氧同位素研究,认为樊岔金矿床成矿流体由早阶段中温、中低盐度、富含CO2和CH4的变质热液逐渐向晚阶段低温、低盐度、贫CO2的大气降水热液演化,沸腾作用和混合作用是其主要演化机制。根据沸腾包裹体计算得出早阶段和中阶段包裹体的捕获压力分别介于108～295 MPa和97～261 MPa之间,对应的成矿深度分别约为10.8 km和9.7 km。矿石硫、铅同位素研究表明,成矿物质主要来自太华超群围岩而非燕山期岩浆。综合上述区域地质、矿床地质、包裹体和同位素地球化学资料,樊岔金矿床应是形成于侏罗纪—早白垩世华北与扬子大陆碰撞造山过程挤压向伸展转变体制的造山型金矿床。

河南省栾川县石窑沟钼矿床地质特征和流体包裹体研究

为探讨石窑沟钼矿床的矿床成因,本文开展了系统的地质及成矿流体特征研究。根据矿脉穿切关系,将热液成矿过程分为早、中、晚3个阶段,其矿物组合分别为石英-钾长石-黄铁矿-辉钼矿、石英-多金属硫化物和石英-方解石±黄铁矿。研究发现,成矿早、中阶段产出的石英中有水溶液包裹体、纯CO2包裹体、H2O-CO2类包裹体和含子晶多相包裹体,而成矿晚阶段产出的石英中仅有水溶液包裹体;对不同阶段包裹体的显微测温和激光拉曼测试结果显示,成矿早阶段成矿流体以高温、高盐度、高氧化性、富CO2为特征;中阶段流体发生沸腾,导致CO2逃逸,还原性增强,成矿物质沉淀;晚阶段流体以低温、低盐度、贫CO2为特征。流体沸腾可能是引起辉钼矿沉淀的重要原因。     

流体晶、流体晶矿物组合、流体岩及其研究意义

流体是地球各圈层之间相互作用的纽带,在成岩、成矿过程中起着十分重要的作用。目前,流体的研究主要集中在流体对先存矿物岩石进行的交代作用方面,而对流体直接结晶形成的矿物领域研究较少。文中根据作者近几年的研究成果对从流体直接结晶而成的矿物——流体晶以及流体晶矿物组合、流体岩等的定义、特征进行了归纳总结。最新的研究结果显示：岩浆中可以含有大量的流体,这些流体来源既可以是岩浆演化富集、岩浆与围岩相互作用产生,亦可以是外部来源。因此,流体晶矿物、流体岩在自然界应该是普遍存在的。流体晶矿物的提出将深化人们对地质过程的理解,发展岩石学及矿床学的研究新领域,有利于矿床勘探和成矿预测。

Fluid infiltration and volume change during mid-crustal mylonitization of Proterozoic granite, King Island, Tasmania

The development of 10–30  m wide mylonite zones at mid-crustal depths in late Proterozoic granitoids on King Island, Tasmania, was associated with pervasive infiltration of low δ¹⁸O-fluids (+5 to +7) on the scale of the shear zones. Syndeformational fluid–rock interaction produced substantial differences in mineral composition and bulk rock chemistry among several adjacent shear zones which are hosted by the same granite. In a shear zone at Cape Wickham with a normal slip component, changes in whole-rock chemistry between granite and mylonites indicate a gain of Ca, and losses of K and Na during deformation, which was nearly isovolumetric. Notable losses of K, Rb and Si occurred during partial retrograde alteration of mylonites near the western margin of this shear zone. The alteration suggests a component of up-temperature fluid flow. In contrast, 3  km to the south east, in a strike-slip shear zone at Disappointment Bay, complete albitization of plagioclase was associated with Na-gain and Ca-loss. Deformation also involved losses of Mg and Fe. Up to 60% volume gain occurred during the formation of closely spaced mesoscopic to microscopic quartz veins during mylonitization. The substantial silica-gain in this, as well as in two mylonite zones further south east, is interpreted to have been associated with upward flow of aqueous fluids along these shear zones. On the basis of a gradient reaction model, minimum time-integrated fluid-fluxes of 10⁶  m³/m² are estimated for the Disappointment Bay (West) Shear Zone.     

Fluid infiltration and regional metamorphism of the Waits River Formation, north-east Vermont, USA

Abstract The Siluro-Devonian Waits River Formation of north-east Vermont was deformed, intruded by plutons and regionally metamorphosed during the Devonian Acadian Orogeny. Five metamorphic zones were mapped based on the mineralogy of carbonate rocks. From low to high grade, these are: (1) ankerite-albite, (2) ankerite-oligoclase, (3) biotite, (4) amphibole and (5) diopside zones. Pressure was near 4.5kbar and temperature varied from c. 450° C in the ankerite-albite zone to c. 525° C in the diopside zone. Fluid composition for all metamorphic zones was estimated from mineral equilibria. Average calculated χ_co2[= CO₂/(CO₂+ H₂O)] of fluid in equilibrium with the marls increases with increasing grade from 0.05 in the ankerite-oligoclase zone, to 0.25 in the biotite zone and to 0.44 in the amphibole zone. In the diopside zone, χ_CO2 decreases to 0.06. Model prograde metamorphic reactions were derived from measured modes, mineral chemistry, and whole-rock chemistry. Prograde reactions involved decarbonation with an evolved volatile mixture of χ_CO2 > 0.50. The χ_CO2 of fluid in equilibrium with rocks from all zones, however, was generally <0.40. This difference attests to the infiltration of a reactive H₂O-rich fluid during metamorphism. Metamorphosed carbonate rocks from the formation suggests that both heat flow and pervasive infiltration of a reactive H₂O-rich fluid drove mineral reactions during metamorphism. Average time-integrated volume fluxes (cm³ fluid/cm² rock), calculated from the standard equation for coupled fluid flow and reaction in porous media, are (1) ankerite-oligoclase zone: c. 1 × 10⁴; (2) biotite zone: c. 3 × 10⁴; (3) amphibole zone: c. 10 × 10⁴; and diopside zone: c. 60 × 10⁴. The increase in calculated flux with increasing grade is at least in part the result of internal production of volatiles from prograde reactions in pelitic schists and metacarbonate rocks within the Waits River Formation. The mapped pattern of time-integrated fluxes indicates that the Strafford-Willoughby Arch and the numerous igneous intrusions in the field area focused fluid flow during metamorphism. Many rock specimens in the diopside zone experienced extreme alkali depletion and also record low χ_CO2. Metamorphic fluids in equilibrium with diopside zone rocks may therefore represent a mixture of acid, H₂O-rich fluids given off by the crystallizing magmas, and CO₂-H₂O fluids produced by devolatilization reactions in the host marls. Higher fluxes and different fluid compositions recorded near the plutons suggest that pluton-driven hydrothermal cells were local highs in the larger regional metamorphic hydrothermal system.     

The effect of heterogeneous stress and strain on metamorphic fluid flow,Mary Kathleen,Australia, and a model for large-scale fluid circulation *

In the Proterozoic Mary Kathleen Fold Belt, northern Australia, infiltration of large volumes of externally derived fluid occurred synchronously with regional amphibolite-facies metamorphism and deformation. This paper develops a model of structurally controlled fluid migration by comparing the distribution of fossil fluid pathways with the inferred stress and strain patterns during the deformation. Intense fluid flow was localized within strong, relatively brittle meta-intrusive bodies, and in discrete, veined, brecciated and altered zones around their margins. In metasediments folded in a ductile manner outside these areas, fluid infiltration was negligible. The direct correlation between structural styles and the magnitude of veining and metasomatism suggests control of permeability enhancement, and hence fluid flow, by deformation. Finite difference modelling of a strong body in a weaker matrix has been used to evaluate the variation of stresses during the deformation, from which it is clear that stress and strain heterogeneities have systematically influenced the development and maintenance of metamorphic fluid pathways. Particular regions in which mean stress may be significantly lower than the average lithostatic pressures include the ‘strain shadow’zones adjacent to the strong bodies, other dilatant zones around the bodies, and the bodies themselves. This geometry is favourable not only for localized brittle deformation under amphilobite facies conditions, but also for focused fluid flow in the low mean stress regions, as evidenced by the abundance of veins. Fluid access through these metamorphic aquifers occurred during tensile failure episodes, with particularly large dilations and decimetre-scale veining in areas of strain incompatibility. It appears likely that fluid circulated many times through the Fold Belt, with flow concentrated in the metamorphic aquifers. A model is developed that explains both the structurally focused fluid flow and the postulated multi-pass recirculation by dilatancy pumping, the ‘pump engines’comprising the low mean stress zones.     

江西省金山金矿有机流体与金矿关系

In, Sn, Pb and Zn Contents and Their Relationships in Ore-forming Fluids from Some In-rich and In-poor Deposits in China

All the indium-rich deposits with indium contents in ores more than 100×10- 6 seems to be of cassiterite-sulfide deposits or Sn-bearing Pb-Zn deposits, e.g., in the Dachang Sn deposit in Guangxi, the Dulong Sn-Zn deposit in Yunnan, and the Meng'entaolegai Ag-Pb-Zn deposit in Inner Mongolia, the indium contents in ores range from 98×10-6 to 236×10-6 and show a good positive correlation with contents of zinc and tin, and their correlation coefficients are 0.8781 and 0.7430, respectively. The indium contents from such Sn-poor deposits as the Fozichong Pb-Zn deposit in Guangxi and the Huanren Pb-Zn deposit in Liaoning are generally lower than 10×10-6, i.e., whether tin is present or not in a deposit implies the enrichment extent of indium in ores. Whether the In enrichment itself in the ore -forming fluids or the ore-forming conditions has actually caused the enrichment/depletion of indium in the deposits? After studying the fluid inclusions in quartz crystallized at the main stage of mineralization of several In-rich and In-poor deposits in China, this paper analyzed the contents and studied the variation trend of In, Sn, Pb and Zn in the ore-forming fluids. The results show that the contents of lead and zinc in the ore-forming fluids of In-rich and -poor deposits are at the same level, and the lead contents range from 22×10-6 to 81×10-6 and zinc from 164×10-6 to 309×10-6, while the contents of indium and tin in the ore-forming fluids of In-rich deposits are far higher than those of In-poor deposits, with a difference of 1-2 orders of magnitude. Indium and tin contents in ore-forming fluid of In-rich deposits are 1.9×10-6-4.1×10-6 and 7×100-6-55×10-6, and there is a very good positive correlation between the two elements, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9552. Indium and tin contents in ore-forming fluid of In-poor deposits are 0.03×10-6-0.09×10-6 and 0.4×10-6--2.0×10-6, respectively, and there is no apparent correlation between them. This indicates, on one hand, that In-rich ore-forming fluids are the material basis for the formation of In-rich deposits, and, on the other hand, tin probably played a very important role in the transport and enrichment of indium.
