Metamorphism and metasomatism at king Island Scheelite Mine 1

The King Island Scheelite Mine lies in the contact aureole of a granodiorite stock. Its open cut and numerous drill cores expose a contact metamorphosed and metasomatized series of finely interbedded argillaceous and calcareous sediments, with interleaved flows of picrite‐basalt and basic pyroclastics, the scheelite ore being limited to two limestone horizons. The range and gradation in composition of the original rocks has resulted in an unusual variety of metamorphic rocks, including forsterite‐phlogopite‐spinel‐tremolite hornfels, antho‐phyllite‐cordierite hornfels, biotite hornfels, actinolite hornfels, a variety of calc‐flinta, and marbles. The original sedimentation gave rise to a rapid alternation of limestone and shale, many times repeated, and during metamorphism these rocks reacted with each other to produce narrow bands of calc‐flinta.

Subsequent pyrometasomatism selectively converted the greater part of the marble beds to scheelite‐bearing andradite skarn, leaving the various hornfels and calc‐flinta very little affected. The replacement of the marble was a volume for volume process, and the conversion of 1,000,000 tons of marble to average grade ore involved the introduction of about 350,000 tons of SiO2, 250,000 tons of Fe2O3, 55,000 tons A12O3, 30,000 tons of H2O and 82,500 tons of CaO.

The temperature of the contact metamorphism attained over 500° C., and the rocks cooled to about 400° C. before the pyrometasomatism occurred. The rocks giving rise to the various hornfels underwent varying degrees of contraction during metamorphism, whereas the limestones probably expanded during metamorphism, and became more permeable to solutions.     

鄂尔多斯西部地区中—晚奥陶世克里摩里期—乌拉力克期岩相古地理

中奥陶世克里摩里期,鄂尔多斯西部地区为镶边陆架的碳酸盐岩台地,自东向西依次发育开阔台地、台地边缘浅滩、台缘斜坡—斜坡脚、广海陆棚和深水海槽相带,从浅水区经由碎屑流搬运来的块状钙质角砾岩在台缘斜坡—斜坡脚相带集中堆积,形成厚度不等的透镜体夹于正常深水灰泥石灰岩和泥岩中。乌拉力克期发生较大规模构造运动,盆地东部整体抬升,西部边缘发生裂陷,沉积范围以同生正断层为界,随着海平面的上升沉积环境演变为相对闭塞的深水斜坡—盆地,沉积一套富含笔石的泥页岩地层,并不时有陆源克里摩里组垮塌的石灰岩沉积物被带入盆地,形成数量不等的多套角砾岩夹层。     

江西大湖塘北区石门寺矿段钨矿成矿条件与找矿预测

在大湖塘北区钨矿找矿勘查过程中,在总结分析20世纪80年代初针对石英大脉型黑钨矿的普查资料基础上,通过地表填图和老窿编录,发现前人认为的混合黑云母花岗岩与混合白云母花岗岩之间为截然清楚的侵入接触关系,二者之间稳定地分布着一层似伟晶岩壳;由空间关系和区域成矿规律推断似斑状黑云母花岗岩为燕山期侵入于晋宁期黑云母花岗闪长岩之中的成矿母岩。晋宁期黑云母花岗闪长岩为成矿有利围岩,在云英岩化等蚀变过程中释放出形成白钨矿的钙离子。燕山期似斑状黑云母花岗岩岩株与晋宁期黑云母花岗闪长岩岩基之间的侵入接触界面是最主要的成矿构造与成矿结构面,控制了主矿体的位置、形态与产状。在研究区内首次于新元古代花岗闪长岩中发现厚大的白钨矿工业矿体,并根据不同岩块混杂、被长英质充填物胶结等特征识别出热液隐爆角砾岩型矿体。基于对矿区成矿地质条件和矿床地质特征的新认识,修改了针对石英大脉型黑钨矿所做的详查设计,抓住细脉浸染型白钨矿这一主要矿床类型,及时调整了找矿目标和勘查手段,在短时间内实现了赣北地区钨多金属找矿的重大突破。通过与石门寺矿段成矿地质条件类比,预测毗邻的苗尾矿段与太平洞矿区找矿潜力大。     

云南普朗斑岩型铜多金属矿床气液隐爆角砾岩的发现及其找矿意义

云南普朗铜多金属矿是格咱岛弧内一个典型的斑岩型矿床,尽管前人对该矿床开展了若干研究,但对于该矿床是否存在叠加成矿作用仍存在争议。研究团队在普朗典型矿床调研过程中,在普朗I号探矿平硐中首次发现了气液隐爆角砾岩。详细的岩相学及矿相学研究表明,隐爆角砾岩角砾为含矿石英二长斑岩,胶结物为细粒石英,且细粒石英中含有黄铜矿连晶。根据气液隐爆角砾岩产出位置及特征推断,隐爆作用系石英二长斑岩就位之后的岩浆活动引起,并伴随成矿作用发生。普朗斑岩型铜多金属矿成矿作用由卡尼阶与诺利阶两个成矿阶段构成,其中铜成矿作用跨越了卡尼阶和诺利阶,而钼成矿始于诺利阶。综合分析指出,普朗矿区深部具有斑岩型钼(铜)多金属矿的找矿潜力。

论长英质隐爆角砾岩的气热流体溶浸成矿机制——以赣南6722铀矿床为例

通过对6722铀矿床地质－地球化学特征及长英质隐爆角砾岩和围岩超微构造研究，结合U，Th等元素溶浸实验结果，得出“隐爆气热流体溶浸成矿富集机制”；来自深部的富含挥发组分（H2O、F、CO2等）的高热安粗岩浆，在早白垩世末（107Ma）沿富城花岗岩体西部蚀变带发育的火山机构中发生隐爆作用，致使围岩发生强烈脆性变形，生成长英质隐爆角砾岩带和震裂花岗岩带；压力、温度降低导致安粗岩浆中挥发组分逸出形成气热流进入稳隐爆裂隙中，并将蚀变花岗岩中的活动性成矿元素（U）浸出转移；成矿物质在物理化学条件（p,t,Eh,pH,化学组分等）急剧变化的部位（长英质隐爆角砾岩及碎裂花岗岩）沉淀富集。     

La plate-forme carbonatée oxfordienne de Lorraine : arguments pour une ouverture vers la mer Germanique

The study of sedimentary facies in the quarry of Dompcevrin (Middle Oxfordian) located northwestward of St-Mihiel (Meuse department) provides evidences of high-energy depositional conditions. The occurrence of beaches associated with hurricane coral breccias containing megaclasts is characteristic of platform edge environments. The open sea was located northeastward, in the direction of Germany, as it is indicated by the direction of progradation of beaches. It is concluded that the Oxfordian carbonate platform of Lorraine was opened to the northeast toward the Germanic Sea during the Middle Oxfordian. To cite this article: C. Carpentier et al., C. R.

湖北铜绿山矽卡岩型铜铁矿床中隐爆角砾岩型金（铜）矿体的发现及其找矿前景

经研究确认鄂东南铜绿山矿床为隐爆角砾岩型金(铜)矿。这一新类型的金(铜)矿体受NWW向断裂、隐爆角砾岩带、接触带复合构造的控制,产于矽卡岩型矿体上盘大理岩残留体的边部,走向上大致与NNE向矽卡岩型主矿带垂直。矿石呈角砾状构造,角砾成分为大理岩、斜长石岩,含少量块状磁铁矿矿石角砾和高岭石化花岗岩角砾。胶结物主要为细碎屑物及微细粒状石英、玉髓、高岭石、黄铜矿和黄铁矿等中低温热液矿物。矿石平均wCu2.54%,wAu3.44×10-6。隐爆角砾岩型矿化是在岩浆侵入作用下成矿热液演化晚期阶段形成的,时间上晚于矽卡岩型,但可叠加其上,常形成富铜金矿体,也可形成独立金矿体。隐爆角砾岩型金(铜)矿体的发现为大幅度增加铜绿山矿床的储量指明了方向,对认识铜绿山矿田的成矿系列具有重要意义。     

山西省耿庄金银矿区隐爆角砾岩研究

晋东北地区出露一系列与燕山期富碱的酸性、中酸性浅成相-次火山相有成因联系的爆破角砾岩筒。耿庄金银矿区隐爆角砾岩筒是其中较典型且研究较详的实例之一。它位于两条断裂交叉处,平面上呈似椭圆状,纵剖面上呈不对称的漏斗状,岩筒中心直径约为150m,延深600m以上。该岩筒由四种成因类型包括七种不同成分的角砾岩组成,它们在水平上大致呈环状分布。角砾岩筒的隐蔽爆破作用至少发生过两次。主要的矿化作用产生在第二次爆破作用之后,形成了一个含Pb、Zn、Cu等的多金属金银矿床。
