GENERAL CHARACTER OF MULTISTAGES OF METALLOGENESIS FOR MICRO-MESOTHERMAL GOLD DEPOSITS:EXAMPLES FROM ZHANG-BALING TECTONIC BELT,ANHUI,CHINA

In Zhangbaling Tectonic Belt,two types of mineralization,auriferous quartz veins and alteration halos,can observed within many deposits.The pressure of metallogenesis of auriferous alteration halos is much higher than that of quartz vein,the temperatures of metallogeneses of these two types of orebodies are don't the same Geochemistry study indicates that both of them are micro-mesothermal deposits related to Yanshanian granites.The results of proton microprobe analysis of sulphides from the gold deposits in the area show that the "invisible" gold existed in sulphides is in the form of micro inclusions,and the concentration of "invisible" gold in sulphide minerals within quartz vein is poorer than that from alteration halos.Field observation shows that the structural modality of the fractures controlling the orebodies of auriferous quartz vein is different from that of the auriferous alteration zones.The fracture controlling the orebodies of auriferous alteration halos is compress-shear fracture,auriferous quartz vein is controlled by extensive fault.The alteration halos crosscut by auriferous quartz vein.The wallrocks of the former altered strongly and developed alteration zones well.The wallrocks of auriferous quartz vein altered slightly.The results of tectonogeochemical study shows that the concentration of associated metallogenesis elements and intensity of alteration are positively correlated with tectonic deformation strength for auriferous alteration halos.It indicates that it is probably a general character for micro-mesothermal gold deposits due to the multistages of metallogeneses took place.The tectonic environment is the most important fact determining the mechanism of fluid flow and precipitation of gold,and then the types of mineralization and modes of gold.
