Geological, geochemical characteristics and isotope systematics of the Longqiao iron deposit in the Lu-Zong volcano-sedimentary basin, Middle-Lower Yangtze (Changjiang) River Valley, Eastern China

The Middle-Lower Yangtze (Changjiang) River Valley metallogenic belt is located on the northern margin of the Yangtze Craton of eastern China. Most polymetallic deposits in the Changjiang metallogenic belt are clustered in seven districts where magmatism of Mesozoic age (Yanshanian tectono-thermal event) is particularly extensive. From west to east these districts are: E-dong, Jiu-Rui, Anqing-Guichi, Lu-Zong, Tong-Ling, Ning-Wu and Ning-Zhen. World-class iron ore deposits occur in the Lu-Zong and Ning-Wu ore clusters, which are mainly located in continental fault-bound volcanic-sedimentary basins. One of these deposits is the Longqiao iron deposit, discovered in the northern part of the Lu-Zong Basin in 1985. This deposit consists of a single stratabound and stratiform orebody, hosted in sedimentary carbonate rocks of the Triassic Dongma'anshan Formation. A syenite pluton (Longqiao intrusion) is situated below the deposit. The iron ore is massive and disseminated and the ore minerals are mainly magnetite and minor pyrite. Wall rock alteration mostly consists of skarn minerals, such as diopside, garnet, potassic feldspar, quartz, chlorite, phlogopite and anhydrite. Thin sedimentary siderite beds of Triassic age occur as relict laminated ore at the top and the margin of the magnetite orebody. These sideritic laminae are part of Triassic evaporite-bearing carbonate deposits (Dongma'anshan Formation).Sulfur isotopic compositions show that the sulfur in the deposit was derived from a mixture of magmatic hydrothermal fluids and carbonate–evaporite host rocks. Similarly, the C and O isotopic compositions of limestones from the Dongma'anshan Formation indicate that these rocks interacted with magmatic hydrothermal fluids. The O isotopic compositions of the syenitic rocks and minerals from the deposit show that the hydrothermal magnetite and skarn minerals were formed from magmatic fluids. The Pb isotopic compositions of sulfides are similar to those of the Longqiao syenite. Phlogopite coexisting with magnetite in the magnetite ores yielded a plateau age of 130.5 ± 1.1 Ma (2σ), whereas the LA-ICP MS age of the syenite intrusion is 131.1 ± 1.5 Ma, which is slightly older than the age of phlogopite.The Longqiao syenite intrusion may have crystallized from a parental alkaline magma, generated by partial melting of lithospheric mantle, during extensional tectonics. The ore fluids were probably first derived from magma at depth, later emplaced in the sedimentary rocks of the Dongma'anshan Formation, where it interacted with siderite and evaporite-bearing carbonate strata, resulting in the formation of magnetite and skarn minerals. The Longqiao iron deposit is a skarn-type stratabound and stratiform mineral system, genetically and temporally related to the Longqiao syenite intrusion. The Longqiao syenite is part of the widespread Mesozoic intracontinental magmatism (Yanshanian event) in eastern China, which has been linked to lithospheric delamination and asthenospheric upwelling.

老挝长山成矿带与花岗岩有关的铜金铁矿床的成矿模式

老挝作为＂特提斯成矿域＂的重要组成部分,具有丰富的矿产资源,尤其是铜、金、铁、铝、钾盐等优势矿产与中国具有很强的互补性。初步论述了老挝的成矿地质背景和近年来发现的与花岗岩类有关的斑岩型铜-金矿床、矽卡岩型铁矿床的矿化地质特征、矿石矿物特征、矿化与岩体的空间关系,在此基础上初步建立了其成矿模式。基于同位素定年数据和Hf-Rb-Ta元素判别图,推测这些花岗岩及与其相关的矿床形成于晚石炭世华南地块向印支地块俯冲产生的火山岛弧环境。     

新疆磁海铁矿床中黑柱石的发现及其地质意义

黑柱石是一种不常见的夕卡岩标型矿物,本次研究在新疆磁海矿区首次发现黑柱石。本文对磁海矿区的黑柱石产出地质环境、矿物共生组合、化学成分、光学性质等进行了研究。化学成分均由电子探针分析求得,计算化学简式为Ca0.98(Fe1.72Mn0.07Mg0.11)1.902+(Fe0.95Al0.03)0.983+[Si2.00O7]O(OH)。磁海矿区黑柱石的形成与基性次火山热液活动有关,是一种特殊的退变质(蚀变)夕卡岩矿物;在成矿作用晚期,随着热液活动加强,早期夕卡岩矿物可退变质形成黑柱石。黑柱石形成时间较晚,对早期形成的磁铁矿起贫化作用。将磁海矿区黑柱石与国内外其它矿区黑柱石的化学成分进行了对比,认为磁海矿区黑柱石为普通黑柱石。黑柱石在常用的矿物中较少提及,应该引起重视。     

内蒙古黄岗锡铁矿床夕卡岩矿物学特征及其成矿指示意义

为进一步查明黄岗锡铁矿矿床成因、夕卡岩矿物成分与金属矿化类型之间的联系,利用电子探针对研究区主要夕卡岩矿物的化学成分进行了详细的分析。测试结果表明,成矿早期石榴石的端员组分以钙铁榴石为主,主成矿期石榴石的端员组分以钙铝榴石为主;辉石端员组分变化较大,主要为透辉石和钙铁辉石。石榴石和辉石的矿物组分分别为Adr28.69～96.44Grs2.00～67.38(Prp+Sps)0.67～5.69和Di11.8～94.12Hd4.08～81.28Jo1.79～20.02,其较大的成分变化特征反映出夕卡岩不是在一个完全封闭的平衡条件下形成的。角闪石大多为镁铁钙角闪石,个别属于铁角闪石,成分变化较大的原因可能是由于氧化还原条件改变导致不同程度的AlⅥSi←→(Na,K)的置换作用,属于一种固相线下的转变。角闪石中四次配位的Si、Al及六次配位的Al、Ti和A位置的阳离子数变化范围很大,可能是由于接触交代作用过程中岩浆的成分差异或结晶时的物理化学条件改变所引起的。富锰的辉石夕卡岩是岩浆流体顺层间破碎带渗滤交代形成的,富锰辉石可作为本区寻找Sn、Cu、Zn等多金属的找矿标志,外接触带夕卡岩和其附近的大理岩中是多金属成矿的有利部位。

The application of geochemical pattern recognition to regional prospecting: A case study of the Sanandaj–Sirjan metallogenic zone,Iran

In regional exploration programs, the distribution of elements in known mineral deposits can be used as a guide for the classification of deposits, search for new prospects and modeling ore deposit patterns. The Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone (SSZ) is a major metallogenic zone in Iran, containing lead and zinc, iron, gold, copper deposits. In the central part of the SSZ, lead and zinc mineralization is widespread and hitherto exploration has been based on geological criteria. In this study, we used clustering techniques applied to element distribution for classification lead and zinc deposits in the central part of the SSZ. The hierarchical clustering technique was used to characterize the elemental pattern. Elements associated with lead and zinc deposits were separated into four clusters, encompassing both ore elements and their host rock-forming elements. It is shown that lead and zinc deposits in the central SSZ belong to two genetic groups: a MVT type hosted by limestone and dolomites and a SEDEX type hosted by shale, volcanic rocks and sandstone. The results of elemental clustering were used for pattern recognition by the K-means method and the respective deposits were classified into four distinct categories. K-means clustering also reveals that the elemental associations and spatial distribution of the lead and zinc deposits exhibit zoning in the central part of the SSZ. The ratios of ore-forming elements (Sb, Cd, and Zn) vs. (Pb and Ag) show zoning along an E–W trend, while host rock-forming elements (Mn, Ca, and Mg) vs. (Ba and Sr) show a zoning along a SE–NW trend. Large and medium deposits occur mainly in the center of the studied area, which justify further exploration around occurrences and abandoned mines in this area. The application of a pattern recognition method based on geochemical data from known mineralization in the central SSZ, and the classification derived from it, uncover elemental zoning, identify key elemental associations for further geochemical exploration and the potential to discover possible target areas for large to medium size ore deposits. This methodology can be applied in a similar way to search for new ore deposits in a wide range of known metallogenic zones.
