Proximal and distal stratabound ore deposits

Stratiform ore deposits associated with calc-alkaline and tholeiitic volcanism form as chemically precipitated sediments and, like other sediments, display facies variations. An attempt to characterise these vertical and lateral facies variations and to relate them to distance in time and space from the volcanic centre is presented here. With increasing distance in time and space from a volcanic centre, the proportions of volcanics to sediments and intensity of hydrothermal alteration decrease. Footwall alteration pipes, stringer and disseminated ore zones dominated by quartz-, sericite- and Mg-rich assemblages are spatially associated with proximal stratiform base metal deposits whereas slight alteration to quartz-, sericite- and Fe(Mn)-bearing assemblages are present associated with distal stratiform base metal deposits. With increasing distance in time and space from the volcanic centre the Fe, Cu and S content of base metal deposits decreases and the Zn, Pb, Ag, Mn, Ba and F content increases. The trend from copper-dominated to zinc-lead-dominated iron sulphide ores is probably a result of the increasing mixing of seawater with metal-bearing hydrothermal fluid with increasing distance from the volcanic centre.     

与岩浆热场有关的“成矿组合”及其对找矿的启示

与岩浆热场有关的成矿组合是一个新概念,是指在一个或大或小的区域内,在岩浆活动集中的时间段范围内,在岩浆热场的统一作用下所形成和影响的所有矿床,不论成因和矿种,均属于一个成矿组合。与岩浆热场有关的成矿作用主要包括下列几类： 岩浆热液矿床、岩浆热场叠加的沉积矿床、岩浆热场叠加的变质矿床、岩浆热场叠加的能源矿床（藏）以及热泉型矿床等。与岩浆热场有关的成矿组合把金属与非金属成矿作用联系起来,把无机与有机成矿联系起来,把热液与沉积成矿联系起来,把热液与变质成矿联系起来,把金属与能源（燃料）成矿联系起来。这种成矿组合的分布有两种趋势： 一是纵向上的由不同温度构成的成矿组合,如钨锡—铅锌组合、锡—铜组合等; 二是横向上的由相同温度不同矿种构成的成矿组合,如钨锡—石墨组合、金—铜—煤组合、铅—锌—煤组合、油—气—煤—铀组合等。成矿组合强调综合找矿的思路,在找矿时,除了注意主要矿产的找矿外,还应当注意其他矿产和矿种的找矿。在找金属矿床时,注意非金属矿床、沉积叠加改造矿床、变质叠加改造矿床以及能源矿床找矿的可能性。在研究高温金属矿床时,注意与高温成矿相伴的其他矿种成矿的可能性,注意低温金属矿床成矿的可能性,注意与低温成矿作用相伴的其他矿种成矿的可能性。开阔找矿的思路,就不能拘泥于本行本专业,而是围绕岩浆热场,将找所有可能出现的矿为己任。     

斑岩型和浅成低温热液型矿床成矿流体与找矿预测研究:以华南若干典型矿床为例

斑岩型和浅成低温热液型矿床是全球铜、钼、金、银的主要来源之一,具有重要经济价值。这两类矿床之间通常存在紧密的时空关系,对其成矿流体性质和演化的解剖不仅有利于探究金属沉淀机制,也有助于揭示两者之间的内在成因联系。本文在综述国内外重要研究前沿基础上,以中国华南富家坞斑岩型铜钼(金)矿、桐村斑岩钼矿,以及邱村和安村浅成低温热液金矿为例,系统总结了斑岩型和浅成低温热液型矿床流体特征、演化规律和金属沉淀机制、探讨了从斑岩型到浅成低温热液型流体演化的“气相迁移”模型,并以福建紫金山铜金矿床为例,介绍了应用流体填图进行找矿预测的实例。     

幔-壳地球化学演化和岩浆期后金属富集成矿的历程

系统论述了岩浆期后金属矿床成矿作用整个发展过程及其与地球壳幔物质分异演化的关系。笔者认为,岩浆侵位冷却结晶过程或随后金属矿床形成的时间相对于地球元素演化富集的历史是很短暂的。金属成矿的演化历史开始于元素的幔壳分异,其后成矿物质伴随全球性板块运动,经历了地壳不同构造环境和物理化学条件下的迁移演化,最终到达和定位于现今矿床的位置。因此,地壳中金属矿床的时空分布和成因类型的划分与成矿元素所经历的区域地质构造演化环境有关。文中还论证了应用矿床中的热液黑云母和岩体中的岩浆成因黑云母的ｘ（Ｆ）／ｘ（ＯＨ）和ｘ（Ｍｇ）／ｘ（Ｆｅ）等成分指标,由此可识别岩浆源岩性质和岩浆冷却结晶的物理化学环境。     

矿床形成深度与深部成矿预测

摘要：阐述了不同类型内生矿床的成矿深度和金属沉淀的垂直范围。热液成矿作用的深度下限可以下降到10000～12000m。不同类型矿床的成矿深度范围与成矿时的具体地质构造特征有关,且有很大的变化空间。金属矿床的形成深度受成矿母岩岩浆侵位深度的约束,而岩浆侵位的深度又与岩浆中挥发组分的数量、流体释放的时间、成矿元素的矿物/熔体和溶液/熔体分配系数等因素有关。据此可以解释斑岩铜－（钼）、斑岩钼-(铜)和斑岩钨矿床形成深度的差异。地温梯度和多孔岩石的渗透率也与成矿深度有关。CO2等挥发组分的溶解度对压力非常敏感,因此流体包裹体地质压力计对于成矿深度的确定有重要的应用价值。在开展深部成矿预测和找矿时,探寻隐伏岩体顶上带或岩钟是寻找深部与花岗岩有关的多金属矿床的捷径之一。

新疆中亚造山带三叠纪矿床地质特征、时空分布及找矿方向

中亚造山带以晚古生代成矿为特色,但最近十几年来在新疆阿尔泰、东天山等发现越来越多的三叠纪矿床,包括3个超大型矿床。在古生代造山带中为什么三叠纪能够成矿和成大矿,不同类型矿产特征和分布规律是值得关注的重要科学问题。目前确定新疆中亚造山带19个三叠纪矿床主要为花岗伟晶岩型稀有金属矿床、斑岩型钼矿床和矽卡岩型钨矿床。花岗伟晶岩型稀有金属矿床分布于阿尔泰,斑岩型钼矿床、矽卡岩型钨矿床和钨(钼)矿床分布于东天山。19个矿床的成矿年龄变化于193～248 Ma,峰值为215 Ma。不同矿床类型成矿时代略有差别,形成时间相对较早的有矽卡岩型,其次是斑岩型,伟晶岩型形成时间跨度最大,多数形成于晚三叠世,少数延续到早侏罗世。东天山沙东-小白石头一带钨矿和阿尔泰稀有金属矿最具找矿潜力。     

扬子地台西缘铅锌矿床分布规律及矿源层探讨

为探索川滇黔相邻区铅锌矿床之成因规律,提升成矿理论认识及预测找矿效果,通过对区内铅锌矿床分布规律研究得出如下认识:1)发现矿床(点)之集群分布趋势,据此将成矿区域划分为3个矿集区;2)统计发现,震旦系和石炭系具有较高的成矿机率(51.57%),灯影组和摆佐组汇聚了区域80.98%的金属量;3)构造单元分级控制了成矿单元展布,而矿集区与二级构造单元之间具有不完全的对等性,矿集区Ⅰ、Ⅱ由康滇地轴和龙门山拗陷及二者向上扬子区域跨越地带联合控制;4)根据菱(赤)铁矿与铅锌矿空间耦合,以及菱(赤)铁矿伴生铅锌元素、铅锌矿物含量均较高等现象,论证了在盆地演化早期,古陆边缘拗陷带(或海盆)内之次级单元代表了浅海环境之低能较深水凹(断)陷或海湾环境,沉积了古生界志留系兰多维列统特列奇阶至下石炭统德坞阶和中元古界下昆阳群(会理群)两套含铁建造,形成了区域Pb、Zn成矿金属元素的初始富集,并于成岩-后生期经热液流体循环改造而成矿,含铁建造提供了成矿的主要矿质来源;5)本区成矿物质硫源-膏盐层主要赋存于灯影组和摆佐组下伏地层以及寒武系多个层位;6)矿源层、硫源共同决定了矿集区以及层控的形成机制,并成为控制其分布的决定性因素。     

新疆北部大地构造演化阶段与斑岩－浅成低温热液矿床的构造环境类型

本文系统总结了新疆北部斑岩-浅成低温热液矿床的成矿时代,按构造环境将该类矿床归为三大类型:洋-陆俯冲型、碰撞造山型、板内型,其中碰撞造山型又可分为碰撞型和后碰撞型。4类矿床的差别主要在于矿床金属元素组合,以及同期相伴出现的矿床类型不同:俯冲型斑岩矿床以斑岩Cu-Au矿-浅成低温热液Au矿组合为主,以伴有海相火山岩有关的VMS矿床和铁矿为特征;碰撞型和后碰撞型矿床以斑岩Cu-Mo-Au组合为主,伴有构造蚀变岩型复合/叠加的浅成低温热液型Au矿出现;板内型矿床以斑岩型单Mo(或Mo-Re)组合为主。斑岩矿床与浅成低温热液矿床虽为同一成矿系统,但二者基本不共生,且后者成矿时代一般晚于前者10～20 Ma。斑岩-浅成低温热液矿床的含矿岩石和成矿特征并不随构造环境类型不同而出现特征性差别。不同时期的斑岩矿床在分布上具有继承性和"同位成矿"特点,并表现出一定的分带性,从早到晚逐渐由靠近缝合带向外扩展、由线型分布逐渐趋于面型分布。     

安徽沿江坳陷多金属成矿带控矿因素与找矿建议

安徽沿江坳陷是长江中下游铁铜成矿带的重要组成部分,近10年来安徽新发现的具有较高经济价值的金属矿床几乎全都在该区。侵入岩体周边不同性质的围岩往往对矿床的类型具有控制作用;区域性深大断裂控制了成矿母岩的形成和分布,而具体的矿床构造(褶皱、断裂、接触带)控制着成矿有利空间(低压带)的分布;燕山中晚期中性-中酸性混熔型钙碱性岩浆岩不仅控制金属矿床的产出部位,还提供了成矿物质、热能,并产生成矿热液;矿床均围绕岩体分布,具有矿种和矿物组合等方面的水平-垂向分带;成矿时代为130~155 Ma,金属矿床分为玢岩型铁矿、夕卡岩型铁矿、斑岩型铜矿、夕卡岩型铜矿、层控型铁铜矿等5种矿床类型,各类型之间存在过渡、共生、叠加关系,构成中性-中酸性岩浆成矿系列。建议在今后的找矿工作中,要选好靶区、就矿找矿,加强中性-中酸性岩浆岩和控矿构造的研究,并注意技术方法的有效性与多解性。     

新疆层控型铅锌矿

简要叙述了新疆周边国家及地区层控型铅锌矿的时空分布规律及重要成矿带的特点,并以此为背景分别对新疆层控铅锌矿进行了系统分析研究,总结了新疆主要层控铅锌矿床的时空分布规律、构造环境、层位、断裂等控矿规律,提出并论述了新疆新确定的阿尔泰等8条重要层控型铅锌成矿带和诺尔特等14条矿带特征,指出新疆今后寻找沉积岩容矿的层控铅锌矿主要方向是以塔里木(含柴达木)周边前寒武纪基底地块和不同时代陆缘盆地为主,而寻找火山-沉积岩容矿的层控铅锌矿则是以准噶尔周边和西伯利亚板块南部边缘的大陆边缘裂陷盆地、裂陷槽、上叠盆地为主等.

扬子地块西南缘区域成矿的大地构造背景和矿床形成的构造控制

扬子地块西南缘正处在欧亚板块，印度板块和太平洋板块等三大板块的复合部位，其大地构造经历了前震旦纪、震旦纪至三叠纪和侏罗纪至第四纪等三大演化阶段。其发展演化导致该区沉积岩和岩浆岩中含有多种丰度较高的成矿元素，并在构造发展演化过程中，促使成矿元素活化、迁移、多次叠加富集，形成具有工业价值的金、银、铜、铅锌、汞锑等贵金属和有色金属的低温矿床成矿域。它们在时间上和空间上均呈现有规律的分布，并明显受地层、岩性、岩相和构造控制。特别是受构造控制更加明显，具多级构造控矿的特点，通常一级构造控制矿带；二级构造控制矿田、矿床；三级构造控制矿体的形态和产状。     

全球锑矿床成矿学基本特征及超大型锑矿床成矿背景初探

本文对全球锑成矿的基本特征进行了初步研究并编制了全球锑成矿图。研究表明全球锑成矿的一般规律具以下特点：锑成矿与大陆型壳体的构造发展阶段及演化程度具显著相关性，全球锑矿床可划分为地槽型（或古地槽型）和地洼型两种基本大地构造类型；锑成矿在时、空分布上具有不均一性，成矿主要集中于大陆壳体较晚地质历史（中、新生代）的地槽区和地洼区；锑成矿是地洼区特征性成矿之一，往往在分异，演化程度较高的地洼区内形成锑成矿高峰；沿与深部上地幔关系密切的浅部碎裂岩断层带以中─低温热液交代或充填的方式富集是地洼型锑成矿的基本型式。最后文中对超大型锑成矿富集特殊性与非超大型锑工业富集的一般性进行了对比研究。

云南三江地区典型金矿床吨位-边界品位曲线特征

吨位-平均品位-边界品位曲线是矿床评价的重要参考,也是理解成矿过程的一个窗口。本文借助吨位-平均品位-边界品位分形模型,选取我国三江地区典型金矿床的局部地段矿体——北衙万硐山磁铁矿-赤铁矿型矿体、镇沅冬瓜林浸染状低温硫化物型矿体、大龙潭氧化硫化物型矿体以及勐满热水塘强硅化泥化蚀变的热泉型矿体;热水塘主要为低品位矿石,而其它三个矿床品位相对较高;分别计算了四个金矿床的吨位-边界品位曲线,并分析其特征。文章提出矿化分散指数(MDI),将其定义为K_o=－ΔO/ΔG_c,K_m=－ΔM/ΔG_c(ΔG_c为两个边界品位之差,ΔO与ΔM分别为相对应的矿石量与金属量之差);K_o与K_m值越小,表明空间中金属分布相对分散。文中分析的四个金矿床的曲线均是低边界品位区间的矿化分散指数较高(MDI₁,即K_o1,K_m1),高边界品位区间的矿化分散指数相对较低(MDI₂,即K_o2,K_m2);说明在不同类型金矿床中,高品位区间比低品位区间的金属空间分布更加分散。K_o1和K_o2由高到低依次为热水塘、大龙潭、万硐山和冬瓜林,K_m1和K_m2由高到低依次为热水塘、万硐山、大龙潭和冬瓜林。热水塘的矿化分散指数比其他三个矿床高,说明热泉型金矿成矿元素空间分布比较集中。     

Trace-metal content of the Pueblo Viejo precious-metal deposits and their relation to other high-sulfidation epithermal systems

We provide here information on the distribution of copper, zinc, lead, gold, silver, barium, arsenic, antimony, mercury, selenium and tellurium in the Moore and Monte Negro high-sulfidation epithermal deposits in the Pueblo Viejo district, Dominican Republic. Moore and Monte Negro are funnel-shaped zones of advanced argillic alteration and precious-metal mineralization which extend to depths of about 350 m below the present surface. The uppermost part of the Moore deposit has been removed by erosion, whereas the Monte Negro deposit is covered by rocks containing low, but still anomalous gold grades. At Moore, concentrations of all elements except copper increase upward through the deposit. At Monte Negro, all elements except barium and zinc show a similar upward increase in concentration to a point near the top of the deposit from which they decrease upward. This difference reflects the fact that the top of the Moore deposit has been removed by erosion. Because the deposits are funnel-shaped and average metal concentrations increase by almost an order of magnitude upward, most of the metals are concentrated in the upper parts of the deposits. The upward increase in concentration of most metals is gradual and similar in magnitude to the prograde temperature dependence in solubilities of many metal complexes, suggesting that the metals were deposited by cooling. By contrast, concentrations of mercury and, to a lesser extent, tellurium increase more abruptly in the upper part of the deposits. This change probably reflects boiling of the hydrothermal solutions and partitioning of mercury and tellurium into a rising vapor phase, and it suggests that host rocks overlying the deposits will be anomalous in mercury and tellurium. Comparison to the Broadlands, New Zealand, hydrothermal system supports these inferred depositional processes. It shows that the behavior of arsenic and antimony at Broadlands was different from that at Pueblo Viejo, possibly because the elements were complexed differently in the two ore fluids. Comparison of trace-element abundances at Pueblo Viejo to other high-sulfidation epithermal systems shows differences in base-metal, arsenic and mercury abundances which may be related to the depths at which the deposits formed. The results of this study highlight the application and need for quantitative trace-element data from epithermal deposits.     

Siliciclastic‐hosted iron‐formations in the early Archaean Barberton and Pilbara sequences

Iron‐formation and associated chert and jasper are subordinate to, but commonly intercalated within the upper, dominantly terriginous clastic sequences in the early Archaean Barberton Mountain Land (South Africa) and Pilbara Block (Western Australia). The iron‐formation, jaspillite and chert are exclusively lutitic and occur in a variety of palaeoenvironmental settings, namely: (1) at the base of prograda‐tional submarine fan sequences; (2) within interchannel mudstones enclosing inner and mid‐fan channel deposits; (3) capping Bouma turbidite beds; (4) intercalated within outer‐fan to basin‐plain mudstones; (5) at the base of progradational offshore shelf‐beach sequences; and (6) in lacustrine deposits intercalated within thick, braided, alluvial sequences. These associations suggest that the iron‐formations and associated orthochemical sediments define diastems and that precipitation took place in any environments basinwards of or between events of terrigenous influx. Recognition of such diverse environments of deposition places constraints on existing models for the origin of iron‐formations. Insofar as being removed from terrigenous dilution at the time of accumulation, any of the iron‐formations, cherts or jaspilites are potential precious and base‐metal targets.     

Palaeogeography of radiolarite and organic-rich deposits in Mesozoic Tethys

Siliceous and marine organic-rich deposits are sometimes associated, sometimes separate in space and time; however, both are generally accepted to be the result of high planktonic productivity. Among the siliceous marine deposits, the phtanite family facies is distinguished from the radiolarite family facies by several characteristics: They contain organic material and as a result are blackish (vs red/green for radiolarite facies), their time of deposition corresponds with strong faunal modifications and they are deposited generally in shallower environments. A palaeogeographic analysis of locations of Tethyan biosiliceous and marine organic-rich rocks, both resulting from a high planktonic palaeoproductivity, for three Mesozoic high sea-level intervals, Toarcian, Kimmeridgian and Cenomanian, show: (a) during Jurassic times these Tethyan deposits were dissociated, the siliceous deposits being closer to open ocean waters than the organic-rich ones. This is a common disposition in modern upwelling systems and suggests a common process; (b) during Cretaceous times these Tethyan deposits were often associated, i.e. both occur at the same site, and are probably the result of a different process from that in the Jurassic.
