Petrology and geochemistry of calc-alkaline volcanic and subvolcanic rocks,Dalli porphyry copper–gold deposit,Markazi Province,Iran

Early Miocene igneous rocks associated with the Dalli porphyry ore body are exposed within the Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Arc (UDMA). The Dalli porphyry Cu–Au deposit is hosted by subduction-related subvolcanic plutons with chemical composition from diorite to granodiorite, which intruded andesitic and dacitic volcanic rocks and a variety of sedimentary sequences. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age data indicate a minimum emplacement age of ～21 million years for a potasically altered porphyritic diorite that hosts the porphyry system. The deposit has a proven reserve of 8 million tonnes of rock containing 0.75 g/t Au and 0.5% Cu. Chondrite-normalized rare earth element (REE) patterns for the subvolcanic rocks are characterized by light REE enrichments [(La/Sm) _n ?=?2.57–6.40] and flat to gently upward-sloping profiles from middle to heavy REEs [(Dy/Yb) _n ?=?0.99–2.78; (Gd/Yb) _n ?=?1.37–3.54], with no significant Eu anomalies. These characteristics are generated by the fractionation of amphibole and the suppression of plagioclase crystallization from hydrous calc-alkaline magmas. In normalized multi-element diagrams, all analysed rocks are characterized by enrichments in large ion lithophile elements and depletions in high field strength elements, and display typical features of subduction-related calc-alkaline magmas. We used igneous mineral compositions to constrain the conditions of crystallization and emplacement. Biotite compositions plot above the nickel–nickel oxide (NNO) buffer and close to oxygen fugacity values defined by the hematite–magnetite (HM) buffer, indicating oxidizing conditions during crystallization. Assuming a minimum crystallization temperature of 775°C, the oxygen (fO₂) and water (fH₂O) fugacities are estimated to be 10^?10.3 bars (～ΔNNO+4) and ≤748 bars, respectively, during the crystallization of biotite phenocrysts. The temperature and pressure conditions, estimated from temperature–corrected Al-in-hornblende barometry and amphibole-plagioclase thermometry, suggest that the hornblende phenocrysts in Dalli rocks crystallized at around 780 ± 20°C and 3.8 ± 0.4 kbar. An alternative method using the calcic amphibole thermobarometer indicates that the Dalli magmas were, on average, characterized by an H₂O content of 4.3 wt.%, a relatively high oxygen fugacity of 10^?11.0 bars (ΔNNO+1.3), and a hornblende phenocryst crystallization temperature of 880 ± 68°C and pressure of 2.6 ± 1.7 kbar.     

伊朗大理矿区中新世成矿及无矿斑岩地球化学对比及其对成矿的启示

伊朗乌尔米耶-达克塔尔弧岩浆带(Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc,UDMA)是特提斯域最重要的斑岩铜矿省,发育大量中新世大型超-大型斑岩铜矿床;同时,该带也发育大量同时代无矿岩体,但控制岩体成矿潜力的关键因素尚不清楚.为此,选择该带中段、成矿及无矿岩体同时发育的大理矿区,针对成矿及无矿岩体开展了系统的锆石岩相学、年代学、微量元素地球化学及Hf同位素地球化学对比.结果显示,无矿闪长岩(锆石U-Pb年龄:17.4±0.3 Ma)比成矿石英闪长斑岩(锆石U-Pb年龄:15.6±0.1 Ma)形成略早,但近乎同期;闪长岩εHf(t)值变化介于+2^+4,石英闪长斑岩εHf(t)值变化介于+2^+5,两者具有类似的Hf同位素组成;闪长岩中锆石常含老的继承核(172~920 Ma),石英闪长斑岩则不发育继承锆石;闪长岩及石英闪长斑岩中的中新世锆石具有类似的稀土配分模式,且Eu负异常不明显,而闪长岩中的锆石继承核则显示出明显的Eu负异常,配分模式与中新世锆石不同.基于上述结果,我们提出大理矿区的两套中新世岩体具有相同的岩浆源区,但经历了不同的地壳演化过程,成矿的石英闪长斑岩浆形成后,与古老地壳没有明显交互,而无矿的闪长岩浆,在上升过程中与地壳物质、特别是古老还原性物质发生了交互,交互过程中岩浆氧逸度降低,是该套岩浆不成矿的主要原因.进而我们提出UDMA带中段斑岩成矿与否不仅与前人所认为的受岩浆源区控制,也与岩浆演化过程密不可分.
