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.     

白银厂式块状硫化物矿床找矿突破的反思

通过对白银矿田找矿勘探和再找矿历史的研究,分析不同时期的找矿思路,对以往找矿成功经验和失败的教训进行总结和反思,不仅有助于丰富地质找矿理论,也对当前条件下进行再找矿具有重要意义。尤其是近年来,在“海底火山机构—热卤水循环动力学”学术思想指导下,在白银矿田小铁山矿床西段(11—14线)深部和折腰山矿床深部发现新的富铜矿体,显示已有工业矿床,深部及其周边地段具有广阔的找矿前景,为进一步找矿提供了依据。     

西华山脉钨矿床的形成压力及有关花岗岩的侵位深度

文章阐述了西华山黑钨矿-石英脉与普通热液石英脉的不同之处;分析了前人所获压力值较低(30~70MPa)的主要原因;利用黑钨矿-石英脉绿柱石中两相气液包裹体和不混溶硅酸盐熔融包裹体的有关资料及相关相图,求得西华山脉钨矿床的形成压力为200MPa。根据西华山脉钨矿床产出的地质特征以及岩石学、矿物学、稳定同位素和流体包裹体地球化学等证据论证了这一压力的合理性。

个旧老卡岩体接触-凹陷带构造控矿特征研究

个旧老卡岩体接触-凹陷带是个旧矿集区最重要的锡铜多金属成矿构造带,带内锡铜矿体的成生与凹陷带构造密切相关,受构造、岩性和岩浆活动联合控制,凹陷带的形态、产状、规模的变化直接影响矿体的形态、产状、规模.凹陷带构造是一个有利成矿的构造部位,并配之有其他控矿因素,最终在燕山晚期含矿岩浆气液作用下形成富厚矿体.     

长营岭—龙门冲原生晕异常及找矿预测

通过对珊瑚矿田长营岭－龙门冲地区岩石地球化学测量,圈定了该区Ｗ、Ｓｎ、Ｃｕ、Ｚｎ、Ａｓ、Ｂ、Ｆ等元素异常,原生晕严格受ＮＥ和ＮＷ两组断裂控制。综合评价认为处于长营岭钨锡矿带南延带的南风井多元素组合异常是矿异常,该异常明显地受ＮＥ（Ｆ９）断裂和ＮＷ（Ｆ１０）断裂控制,浓集中心位于Ｆ９断裂下盘,与长营岭矿区矿体在ＮＷ断裂下盘富集的规律相同。测区内,异常形态与北区具连续性,异常强度弱于北区,组分分带显示以隐伏花岗岩为成矿中心,但沿矿带由ＮＥ到ＳＷ并无明显的组分分带和元素组合变化,矿田内不仅矿带南延并向ＳＷ方向倾伏,而且很有可能深部隐伏花岗岩体亦分枝向南延伸。

Mineral Geochemical Compositions of Tourmalines and Their Significance in the Gejiu Tin Polymetallic Deposits, Yunnan, China

Abstract: The Gejiu tin polymetallic deposits are located in the southeastern part of Yunnan Province in China. A detailed electronic microprobe study has been carried out to document geochemical compositions of tourmalines from the deposits. The results indicate a systematic change of mineral geochemical compositions, which might be used as a mineral geochemical tracer for post-magmatic hydrothermal fluid, basin fluid and their mixture. The tourmalines from granite are schorl with Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratios of 0.912-1.00 and Na/(Na+Ca) ratios of 0.892-0.981. Tourmalines as an inclusion in quartz from the ore bodies are dravite with Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratios of 0.212-0.519 and Na/ (Na+Ca) ratios of 0.786-0.997. Tourmalines from the country rocks are dravite with Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratios of 0.313-0.337 and Na/(Na+Ca) ratio of 0.599-0.723. Tourmalines from cassiterite-tourmaline veins that occur in crannies within the country rocks show distinct optical zoning with alternate occurrence of dravite and schorl, Fe/(Fe+Mg)=0.374-0.843, Na/(Na+Ca)=0.538-0.987. It suggests that schorl in granite and dravite in carbonatite are related to magmatic fluid and basin fluid respectively. When magmatic fluid rose up and entered into crannies of the country rocks, consisting mainly of carbonatite, basin fluid would be constantly added to the magmatic fluid. The two types of fluid were mixed in structural crannies of the sedimentary basin accompanied with periodic geochemical oscillations to form material records in chemical composition zonings of tourmalines.     

冈底斯东段泽当大型钨铜钼矿新发现及走滑型陆缘成矿新认识

冈底斯成矿带以斑岩型铜矿(伴生钼矿)为主体,通常作为"挤压型"陆缘岩浆弧—"碰撞裂谷带"斑岩成矿的典型代表而被广泛关注,但层矽卡岩型钨铜钼矿和斑岩型独立钼矿的勘查和研究却未能引起足够的重视,尤其是层矽卡岩型白钨矿的发现,填补了区带矿种的空白;在雅鲁藏布江缝合带边部发现的隐伏斑岩型钼矿,突破了"挤压型"陆缘成矿认识的传统误区。中国冶金地质总局新近发现的冈底斯东段则当钨铜钼矿,既是一处大型钨铜钼矿详查开发基地,又是一组统一于陆缘走滑断裂构造成矿体制作用的钨、铜、钼矿床组合,称为"泽当矿田"。在NWW向雅鲁藏布江缝合带陆缘走滑断裂作用下,早期(68～40.3Ma)拉分型转换构造——NEE向剥离断层,控制了层矽卡岩型钨铜钼矿的形成;在NEE向冲木达陆缘走滑断裂作用下,晚期(30.26～23.62Ma)推闭型转换构造——NWW向逆冲断层,控制了隐伏斑岩型钼矿的形成。层矽卡岩型矿床形成和改造于68～66Ma和57～40.3Ma,叠加富集于斑岩型矿床的形成阶段——30.26～23.62Ma。
