喜马拉雅琼嘉岗超大型伟晶岩型锂矿的发现及意义

近年来，喜马拉雅新生代淡色花岗岩的"高度分离结晶、异地深成侵入"成因，及其具有良好的稀有金属成矿潜力而倍受关注。已有野外调查和资源勘查工作表明该花岗岩带可能成为我国稀有金属重要的战略储备基地。目前带内金属组合以铍-铌-钽（锡-钨）组合为主（如错那洞大型锡-钨-铍矿床），但尚未发现工业锂矿体的产出。本次工作在高喜马拉雅琼嘉岗地区发现了超大型伟晶岩型锂矿，并初步揭示该伟晶岩型锂矿的基本地质特征。琼嘉岗伟晶岩属于过铝质LCT型伟晶岩，稀有金属（REL）类REL-Li亚类钠长石-锂辉石型。含矿伟晶岩呈串珠状、囊状体产出在前寒武系肉切村群大理岩中，伟晶岩具有一定分带，目前主要包括细粒钠长石带、文象结构带、分层细晶岩带和块体微斜长石+锂辉石带，赋矿主体结构带为后两者。矿石矿物主要为锂辉石、铌铁矿-铌锰矿，以及少量锡石和绿柱石。59件样品中44件Li₂O含量在工业品位（0.80%）之上，平均1.30%。4条伟晶岩脉群资源量估算表明琼嘉岗锂资源可达超大型规模，琼嘉岗是喜马拉雅首例具有工业价值的伟晶岩型锂矿，其发现证实我国高喜马拉雅地区具有找寻大型-超大型花岗伟晶岩型锂（铍）矿的潜力。     

桂东北紫花坪岩体富Li淡色花岗岩岩石地球化学特征及其与铀成矿关系

锂、铀作为重要矿产资源,且在花岗岩中的富集部位存在交集,其成因问题长期备受关注。桂东北紫花坪岩体中的淡色花岗岩Li含量(质量分数)高达678.7×10~(-6)(中细粒二云母花岗岩和中细粒白云母花岗岩),具有富集Li元素的特征。通过对其岩石地球化学特征及与铀成矿关系研究表明:淡色花岗岩具有相对较高的Na__2O、Al__2O_3和F含量,以及较低的K__2O、FeO、MgO和CaO含量,属于过铝质花岗岩;以离子电位5.7为界,淡色花岗岩中的微量元素随Li含量的增加,呈现出高离子电位元素含量增加而低离子电位元素降低的趋势,相对富集Rb、Ta和Hf,具有低ΣREE及重稀土富集特征;岩体中元素富集分带从早到晚、自下而上依次为LREE→Y→HREE→U(Ⅳ)→Zr-Hf→Nb-Ta→Li,花岗岩中的晶质铀矿早于稀有金属形成;铀矿石中As、Ni等元素富集,见地开石及钾交代现象,表明铀成矿过程中经历了热流体作用;结合区域成矿资料及上述结论认为,紫花坪岩体中的淡色花岗岩为泥质源区重熔的产物,其形成与岩浆高程度的结晶分异作用有关,相对靠近重熔界面顶部;淡色中细粒二云母花岗岩为区内主要含铀花岗岩,经历了晚期热流体作用,深部存在铀成矿的可能。     

喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩成因与稀有金属成矿潜力

喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩世界瞩目,具有重要的理论研究和找矿意义,但是其成因争议较大。本文统计了两千余件样品的全岩主微量地球化学、Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf同位素、锆石/独居石/磷钇矿等副矿物原位U-Pb年龄和锆石Hf同位素等,试图全面地总结喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩的研究进展和现状。喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩分为南北两带,北带花岗岩主要出露于特提斯喜马拉雅和片麻岩穹隆中,而南带花岗岩主要发育在高喜马拉雅顶部和东-西构造结中。从北往南,成岩时代逐渐变新;南北两带均以二云母花岗岩和(石榴石-电气石)白云母花岗岩为主,两期(始新世和中新世)中-基性岩脉和埃达克质岩主要在北带中发育。新生代岩浆活动分为5个阶段：49~40 Ma、39~29 Ma、28~15 Ma、14~7 Ma、6~0.7 Ma,分别主要与新特提斯洋壳板片断离、印度陆壳板片的低角度俯冲、断离或回撤、南北向撕裂(裂谷)和东西构造结的快速隆升有关。喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩起源于高喜马拉雅杂岩系的不一致(不平衡)部分熔融,并经历了矿物分离结晶的高分异演化。淡色花岗岩属于强过铝质岩石,具有高Si、K、Na,低Ca、Fe、Mg、Ti、Mn,高的Rb/Sr、Y/Ho值,低的Th/U、Nb/Ta、Zr/Hf、K/Rb值,稀土元素总量较低,负Eu异常明显的地球化学特征。随着成岩时代变新,Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf等同位素都指示岩浆源区中古老地壳物质的占比逐步增加。喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩/伟晶岩中Li、Be、W、Sn、Ta、Cs和Rb等稀有元素的富集系数大于10,伟晶岩属于典型的LCT型伟晶岩。喜马拉雅新生代淡色花岗岩带有望成为一条新的世界级的Li-Be-Sn-W-Ta稀有金属成矿带。     

Strongly peraluminous leucogranite (Ebrahim-Attar granite) as evidence for extensional tectonic regime in the Cretaceous,Sanandaj Sirjan zone,northwest Iran

The Ebrahim-Attar (EBAT) leucogranite body is intruded within the Jurassic metamorphic complex of the Ghorveh area, located in the northern part of the Sanandaj Sirjan zone (SaSZ) of northwest Iran. The granite comprises alkali feldspar, quartz, Na-rich plagioclase and to a lesser extent, muscovite and biotite. Garnet and beryl are also observed as accessory minerals. Additionally, high SiO₂ (71.4–81.0wt %) and Rb (145–440 ppm) content; low MgO (<0.12wt %), Fe₂O₃ (< 0.68 wt.%), Sr (mainly < 20 ppm), Ba (<57 ppm), Zr (10–53 ppm) and rare earth elements (REEs) low content (3.88–94.9 ppm with an average = 21.2 ppm); and flat REE patterns with a negative Eu anomaly characterize these rocks. The chemical composition and mineral paragenesis indicate that the rocks were formed by the partial melting of siliciclastic to pelitic rocks and can be classified as per-aluminous leucogranite or strongly per-aluminous (SP) granite. The Rb-Sr whole rock and mineral isochrons confirm that crystallization of the body occurred at 102.5 ± 6.1 Ma in Albian. The ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr(i) and ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd(i) ratios are 0.7081 ± 0.009 and 0.51220 ± 0.00005, respectively, and ε_Nd(t) values range from −5.8 to −1.6. These values verify that the source of this body is continental crust. The Nd model ages (T_DM2) vary between 1.0 and 1.3 Ga and are more consistent with the juvenile basement of Pan African crust. Based on these results, we suggest that the upwelling of the hot asthenospheric mantle in the SaSZ (likely during the Neo-Tethys rollback activity) occurred after the late Cimmerian orogeny. Consequently, we suggest that this process was responsible for a thinning and heating of the continental crust, from which the SP granite was produced by the partial melting of muscovite rich in pelitic or felsic-metapelitic rocks in the northern SaSZ.     

西藏错那洞淡色花岗岩地球化学特征、成岩时代及岩石成因

错那洞淡色花岗岩是西藏北喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩带的重要组成部分。通过地球化学分析揭示其具有富硅(SiO_2含量为74.20%~74.52%)、贫铁(Fe_2O_3含量为0.04%~0.20%,FeO含量为0.40%~0.58%)、贫镁(MgO含量为0.06%~0.14%)、钙碱性(σ为2.15~2.32)、强过铝质(A/CNK为1.11~1.15)的地球化学特征。稀土元素总量较低(∑REE为47.24×10~(-6)~57.59×10~(-6)),轻稀土元素富集(LREE为39.85×10~(-6)~49.23×10~(-6)),重稀土元素亏损(HREE为6.91×10~(-6)~8.68×10~(-6)),有明显负Eu异常(0.49~0.80);富集Rb、Th、U、K等大离子亲石元素,亏损Nb、Ta、Zr、Ti等高场强元素。锆石U-Pb测年结果显示,错那洞淡色花岗岩形成中新世(21 Ma),属北喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩晚阶段峰值期(24~12 Ma)产物。锆石εHf(t)值为负值,且变化较大(-3.92~-17.64),说明其岩浆源区为壳源,以变泥质岩为主,可能存在多种物质组分的混合。初始岩浆结晶温度应不超过675~702℃,构造背景为后碰撞环境,是高喜马拉雅结晶岩系在板片快速折返过程中发生减压熔融而形成的产物。     

Paleozoic Tectonic Switch in the North Qinling Orogenic Belt: Constraints from the Paleozoic Granites from the Northern Qinling Migmatite Terrane

The variations in source rocks and melting conditions of granites can provide essential clues for the crustal magmatic response in orogenic process. Based on geochronology, whole-rock and mineral chemistry, this paper reveals two different granites in the Northern Qinling migmatite complex, which reveal obvious differences in source region and melting condition. The older granodiorite (402 ± 0.8 Ma) displays typical Na-rich adakite affinity, i.e., high Na2O/K2O (2.04 to 2.64) and Sr/Y (96 to 117) ratios, they have relative evolved isotopic compositions (εNd(t) = ?0.52 to ?0.04; zircon εHf(t) = ?0.06 to +7.78). The younger leucogranite (371 ± 2 Ma) displays higher SiO2 (72.32 to 73.45 wt%), lower (TFeO + MgO + CaO + TiO2) contents (<2 wt%) and depleted Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic compositions (i.e., εNd(t) = +2.6 to +3.0; zircon εHf(t) = +5.94 to +14.12), as well as high 10000 × Ga/Al and TFeO/MgO ratios, indicating that they represent highly fractionated I-type granites that derived from melting of juvenile crust. The variations in source rocks and melting condition of the two granites indicating a tectonic switch from compression to extension in 400 to 370 Ma, this switch is later than that in the eastern section of the North Qinling, indicating a scissor collision process between the South Qinling and North China Craton (NCC) in Devonian era.     

Miocene Crustal Anatexis of Paleozoic Orthogneiss in the Zhada Area, Western Himalaya

Granitic gneiss (orthogneiss) and Himalayan leucogranite are widely distributed in the Himalayan orogen, but whether or not the granitic gneiss made a contribution to the Himalayan leucogranite remains unclear. In this study, we present the petrological, geochronological and geochemical results for orthogneisses and leucogranites from the Zhada area, Western Himalayas. Zhada orthogneiss is composed mainly of quartz, plagioclase, K-feldspar, biotite and muscovite, with accessory zircon and apatite. Orthogneiss zircon cathodoluminescence (CL) images show that most grains contain a core with oscillatory zoning, which indicates an igneous origin. Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb dating of the zircon cores in the orthogneiss shows a weighted 206Pb/238U age of 515 ± 4 Ma (early Paleozoic), with sponge-like zircon rims of 17.9 ± 0.5 Ma (Miocene). Zhada leucogranite shows 206Pb/238U ages ranging from 19.0 ± 0.4 Ma to 12.4 ± 0.2 Ma, the weighted average age being 16.2 ± 0.4 Ma. The leucogranites have a low Ca content (<1 wt%), FeOt content (<1 wt%), Rb content (67.0–402 ppm), Sr content (<56.6 ppm), Ba content (3.35–238 ppm) and Rb/Sr ratio (0.5–14.7), which are similar to the geochemical characteristics of the Himalayan leucogranite derived from muscovite dehydration partial melting of metasediments and representative of most Himalayan leucogranites. The highly variable Na2O + K2O (4.33 wt%–9.13 wt%), Al2O3 (8.44 wt%–13.51 wt%), ∑REE (40.2–191.0 ppm), Rb (67.0–402 ppm) and Nb (8.23–26.4 ppm) contents, 87Sr/86Sr(t) ratios (0.7445–0.8605) and εNd(t) values (?3.6 to ?8.2) indicate that the leucogranite is derived from a heterogenetic source. The nonradiogenic Nd isotope values of the studied Zhada leucogranite and orthogneiss range from ?8.2 to ?3.6 and from ?8.7 to ?4.1, respectively. Therefore, the general mixing equation was used to perform the Sr and Nd isotope mixing calculations. The results indicate that the heterogenetic source was the Tethyan Himalayan Sequence (THS)/Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC) metasediments and Zhada orthogneiss. The Zhada area experienced crustal anatexis during the Miocene and the heterogenetic source of the orthogneiss and metasediment may have experienced crustal anatexis controlled by muscovite dehydration. The Zhada leucogranite inherited not only the geochemical characteristics of the Himalayan metasediment (muscovite dehydration melting), but also the trace elements and Sr-Nd isotopic characteristics of the Zhada orthogneiss. These results indicate that the Paleozoic Zhada orthogneiss was involved in crustal anatexis at 17.9 ± 0.5 Ma (Miocene) and that the muscovite dehydration of the metasediments in the heterogenetic source produced fluid, which may have caused the orthogneiss solidus lines to decline, triggering a partial melting of the Zhada orthogneiss. It is therefore proposed that Himalayan leucogranite is a crust-derived granite rather than a S-type granite, as previously hypothesized.     

西藏冈底斯中部淡色花岗岩锆石U—Pb年龄及其地质意义

对冈底斯花岗岩带中段罗扎岩体淡色花岗岩进行的锆石U—Pb同位素定年和岩石地球化学研究表明，淡色花岗岩锆石U—Pb年龄为133．9Ma 0．9Ma，为早白垩世岩浆活动的产物，岩石属于钙碱性系列，具有强过铝质花岗岩的特征，暗示着本区在早白垩世时期发生过同碰撞事件。这一研究成果为冈底斯地区早白垩世时期发生地壳缩短增厚提供了新证据。     

淡色花岗岩的岩石学和地球化学特征及其成因

淡色花岗岩(leucogranite)是一类高铝高硅碱的酸性侵入岩,主要地球化学特征是:SiO2≥72%,Al2O3≥14%,Na2O+K2O~8.5%,富Rb,亏损Th、Ba、Sr,稀土总量较一般花岗岩低(∑REE=(40~120)×10-6),且表现为中等分异的轻稀土弱富集型,一般具有Eu负异常;Sr-Nd-Pb-O同位素指示其岩浆明显的陆壳来源。淡色花岗岩主要发育于陆壳(俯冲)碰撞加厚带,由逆冲折返的俯冲板片变沉积岩部分经过脱水熔融产生。淡色花岗岩可划分为三种不同的岩石类型:(1)二云母型淡色花岗岩,由变泥质岩(或变硬砂岩)在中地壳水平经黑云母(和/或白云母)脱水熔融产生;(2)电气石型淡色花岗岩,由变泥质岩在较低温度下经白云母脱水熔融产生;(3)石榴子石型淡色花岗岩,由长英质下地壳经黑云母脱水熔融产生。源区残留独居石、磷灰石等富REE矿物是淡色花岗岩亏损REE、Th等元素的原因。源岩为变泥质岩及源区残留钾长石是淡色花岗岩亏损Sr、Ba的主要原因。     

喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩带伟晶岩的富铍成矿特点及向更高处找锂

喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩作为新识别的稀有金属成矿区带,已发现以Be-Nb-Ta(Sn-W)组合为主矿化且已形成大型矿床,如错那洞,但仅在为数不多的几处伟晶岩见到锂辉石,尚未发现工业锂矿床.因此,有必要剖析该区伟晶岩成矿(尤其Be同Li的对比)特点、条件及可能潜力,并与国内其他稀有金属矿带进行对比分析,从而推动喜马拉雅伟晶岩稀有金属矿床尤其是锂矿的发现.该区伟晶岩母体淡色花岗岩与华南稀有金属矿化花岗岩类似,显示高的分异程度但较窄的演化区间,并且熔体具有高的Li浓度.在印亚大陆碰撞带复杂的构造-变质-深熔作用下产生了多期次的岩浆活动,尤其新喜马拉雅期巨量的岩浆可为伟晶岩的形成、远距离迁移分异及成矿提供有利的热和物质基础.基于含Li伟晶岩形成于"远"母体、"高"海拔的特点,提出区域构造层位的上部或更高海拔地区以及淡色花岗岩岩体外侧远端的围岩内将可能是含锂伟晶岩的就位空间与找矿重点地段.
