Les placers à silice ultrapure français : étude gîtologique comparative

The comparative study of two French high-purity silica placers of European class suitable for the electrometallurgy of silicon and ferrosilicon, located at Boudeau and Thédirac, in the Dordogne and Lot departments respectively, indicates strong similarities as regards the sources and the transportation of quartz, as well as a same process of undercover karstification as a determining factor in the formation of the deposits. The main difference lies in the number of the stages necessary to the formation of the trap. This comparative study allows the constitution of dynamic models for the genesis of these economic quartz concentrations. To cite this article: L. Désindes et al., C. R. Geoscience 337 (2005).     

鄂东南付家山脉石英矿杂质特征及其用作高纯石英原料的潜力

作为战略性矿产资源之一,高纯石英已广泛应用于集成电路、半导体芯片、太阳能等高新技术产业中,但是能够生产高纯石英的原料矿床极为稀缺,我国尤为紧缺高纯石英原料矿。鄂东南地区是湖北省脉石英矿床的主要分布区。本文针对鄂东南付家山脉石英矿床,通过光学显微镜、扫描电子显微镜观察了脉石英的脉石矿物类型和包裹体特征,采用电感耦合等离子发射光谱法(ICP-OES)对原矿进行了微量元素分析,旨在获得付家山脉石英矿床的杂质元素特征,进而评价矿床用作高纯石英原料的潜力。结果表明,付家山脉石英矿石SiO₂含量大于99.95%,杂质元素主要为Al、K、Fe、Ti、Ca等,脉石矿物主要有白云母、钾长石、铁氧化物等,流体包裹体较为发育。杂质元素分析结果表明,付家山脉石英原矿质量达到低端高纯石英标准,经传统工艺提纯后,可能具有生产中高端高纯石英的潜力。     

微细浸染型金矿的硅质阴极发光与成矿物源分析——以黔西南和桂西北金矿为例

应用阴极发光技术研究了微细浸染型金矿中赋矿围岩和矿石中硅质以及成矿期和表生期石英脉的阴极发光特征。结果表明 :围岩(包括石英斑岩和辉绿岩墙)中的硅质和石英及次生硅化石英均表现不同的发光特征 ,而与原生矿化有关的原生硅化石英不发光 ;其中 ,氧化矿石中的硅化石英和表生梳状石英脉在阴极发光下呈棕色 ,与赋矿围岩中碎屑石英的次生溶解加大边表现的发光特征一致。这表明氧化和表生石英的硅质来源与溶解围岩和改造原生矿石有关 ,而原生硅化石英的硅质来源与围岩(包括岩浆岩)无关 ,进而表明成矿物质并非围岩提供。结合其它方面的系列研究 ,为该类型金矿属深源流体成矿作用产物的新观点 ,即成矿物质和流体可能直接来源于深部或上地幔提供了进一步的证据。这表明 ,阴极发光技术是一种简便、可靠和实用的矿床成因研究手段。     

祁连山西段党河南山北坡3个不同特征的金矿床研究

黑刺沟金矿床以富As和Sb的微细浸染蚀变岩型金矿化和部分石英脉型锑－金矿化为特征,典型矿物组合为黄铁矿-毒砂(辉锑矿)-石英;贾公台金矿床以少硫化物石英脉型金矿化和蚀变岩型金矿化为特征,As和Sb的质量分数不高,典型矿物组合为黄铁矿-自然金(方铅矿)-石英-钾长石;鸡叫沟金矿床以蚀变岩型金矿化为主,次之为石英脉型金矿化,典型矿物组合为黄铁矿-黄铜矿-石英.3个金矿床的成因均与岩浆岩有密切联系,但各矿区的岩浆岩在岩石学、岩石化学、微量元素及稀土元素特征具有差异,表明其成因不尽相同.这可能是造成3个金矿床地质特征差异的主要原因.     

Gold Deposits in Beishan Mountain, Northwestern China

Abstract. The Beishan Mountain spans three provinces ‐ Gansu, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, having an area of 120,000 km² Tectonically, it transverses three different tectonic units, i.e. Siberia, Kazakhstan and Tarim plates, and is composed of nine ter‐rains with widely exposed Precambrian and Paleozoic strata, complex structures, intensive magmatic activities and widespread ore deposits. It is not only a main part of Tianshan‐Yinshan‐Great Hinggan metallogenic belt in China, but also a key to under‐stand the evolution of central‐Asian orogenic system. At present, more than 100 gold deposits and prospects have been discovered, explored and mined, among which Nanjinshan, Mazhuangshan, Liushashan, Jinwozi, Zhaobishan and Xiaoxigong are the most important ones. Based on the host rocks and the geological features, all these gold occurrences can be subdivided into three groups (or types): (1) hosted by Carboniferous or Permian volcanic or subvolcanic rocks; (2) hosted by or related to plutonic intrusions; and (3) hosted by Precambrian metamorphic rocks. The first group includes the Mazhuangshan gold deposit, which occurs in Hercynian quartz por‐phyry and rhyolite porphyry as gold‐bearing quartz veins. The second group is composed of the Liushashan, Nanjinshan Zhaobishan and Jinwozi gold deposits. Gold mineralization at these four deposits occurs within Hercynian granitoids intrusion: or late Paleozoic sedimentary rocks as quartz veins, veinlets and altered rocks. The Xiaoxigong gold deposit belongs to the third group, and is hosted by Precambrian schist, amphibolite and migmatite as quartz veins and altered rocks. Isotopic age dating data, geological and geochemical evidence suggest that most of the groups 1 and 2 gold deposits were generated during the emplacement of the Hercynian or partly Indosinian intrusions. These intrusions may provide both heat and metals for groups 1 and 2 deposits. In contrast, although the formation is closely related to the Hercynian magma‐tism, the ore‐forming materials of the group 3 deposits may not only come from the intrusions, but also from the Precambrian metamorphic rocks.     

Trace element composition of near-surface silica deposits—A powerful tool for detecting hydrothermal mineral and energy resources

Extensive Paleozoic sinter deposits occur at the surface associated with sub-surface quartz veining and epithermal Au mineralisation in the Drummond Basin, Australia. We investigated the trace element composition of the sinter deposits and quartz veins in an attempt to develop a new geochemical exploration guide for geological resources. The Drummond Basin hydrothermal silica deposits are unique in having anomalously enriched incompatible element (Cs, Li, Be, U, Th and REE) concentrations in comparison to hydrothermal quartz veins from various granitic-pegmatitic systems elsewhere. The development of relative Ce deficiencies (Ce/Ce*_norm < 1) in silica deposits indicate preferential mobilisation of REE over Ce from source rocks by oxidised hydrothermal fluids, leading to relative Ce enrichment in the source material (e.g., rhyolite intrusions). Sinters and quartz veins and some volcanic source rocks show a conspicuous positive Y anomaly relative to REE. This is interpreted in terms of Y fractionation due to fluorine complexation with REE during hydrothermal activity. The majority of sinter and quartz samples within or near the Au mineralisation zone are more enriched in mobile elements (Cs, Li, Rb and Be) than the silica deposits from areas distal to the mineralised area. Normalised Y–REE patterns of the sinter deposits, quartz veins, and wall rocks provide important information on the physico-chemical environment of epithermal mineral deposition in geothermal systems. Trace element systematics as revealed in the current study, particularly in relation to the alkali element mobility, have significant implications for finding new prospect areas and evaluating the potential of existing prospect areas for epithermal metal deposits and active geothermal fields.     

安徽庐枞沙溪斑岩铜矿蚀变及矿化特征研究

沙溪斑岩铜矿是长江中下游成矿带中部庐枞火山岩盆地外围的一个大型铜矿床.本文在前人工作基础上,基于详细的野外观察和系统的岩相学、矿相学工作,详细研究了矿床的蚀变特征及分带.结果表明,矿床的蚀变类型有钾硅酸盐化、青磐岩化、长石分解蚀变和高岭土化,从深到浅依次发育有钾硅酸盐化、长石分解蚀变叠加钾硅酸盐化、长石分解蚀变和高岭土化等蚀变.确定了矿化特征、矿物生成顺序并划分了成矿阶段,即:钾硅酸盐阶段、石英硫化物阶段和石英碳酸盐阶段,其中,石英硫化物阶段又可进一步分为石英硫化物亚阶段和绿帘石-绿泥石亚阶段.基于蚀变及矿化特征认为,沙溪铜矿床的矿化始于钾硅酸盐阶段的晚期,石英硫化物亚阶段是黄铜矿主要的沉淀阶段,石英碳酸盐阶段也对成矿贡献了部分铜质.与世界上不同构造环境的典型斑岩铜矿床对比认为,沙溪矿床总体上与这些矿床的蚀变、矿化特征类似;与陆缘弧、岛弧、陆内碰撞造山后伸展环境矿床在矿体产出位置、蚀变分带方面相似;而由于围岩性质的差异,与板内环境的德兴矿床在矿体位置、蚀变分带方面存在差异,但是二者在脉体类型特别是与矿化关系密切的脉体特征上较为一致.因此,对于斑岩型矿床而言,构造背景可能控制了其岩浆的形成、演化以及含矿性,而岩浆岩最终定位的深度、围岩等条件则控制了其蚀变、矿化特征.     

滇东北地区中泥盆世缩头山组一段沉积特征及其含矿性

滇东北地区产出超大型石英砂岩矿床,其主要含矿层位为中泥盆世缩头山组一段。针对滇东北彝良地区缩头山组一段进行的剖面测量、钻探和槽探等一系列研究显示,研究区缩头山组一段厚度为62.8m^222.7m,主要由灰白色厚层状中细粒石英砂岩组成,平行层理、冲洗层理、浪成交错层理和浪成波痕发育,波浪作用特征明显;薄片研究显示,缩头山组一段石英砂岩具颗粒支撑、硅质胶结、凹凸-线接触结构特征,石英砂颗粒压溶和次生加大现象明显;粒度分析显示,石英砂岩粒度集中分布于1.5Φ~3.5Φ之间,缺少拖移总体和悬移总体,跃移总体高达99%,由两个次总体构成,为典型的前滨带粒度分布特征;化学分析显示,缩头山组一段石英砂岩的SiO2化学纯度达99.05~99.39,平均为98.99(N=11),超过平板玻璃原料一级品的工业标准。可以认为,缩头山组一段石英砂岩为结构成熟度和矿物成熟度极高的滨岸高能前滨带石英砂岩,经成岩作用的进一步纯化,其粒度特征和化学纯度已经达到高纯石英砂岩的标准,可望成为高纯石英的原材料,并可为扩大滇东北地区高纯石英矿资源潜力提供精准的找矿方向。

甘肃省玉门市三白墩硅石矿石英纯度高,杂质少,可以用作高纯石英的加工原料。通过对硅石矿地质背景、矿床特征、控矿因素和矿石质量的研究,分析了矿床成因,认为该硅石矿严格受华力西期侵入岩及接触带构造控制,属于岩浆伟晶岩型石英脉矿床。伟晶岩分带结构比较明显,其中石英核(带)SiO₂含量最高达99.71%,具备高纯石英—云母等岩浆型伟晶岩系列矿产的成矿条件,对区域上寻找同类型高纯石英矿具有一定的指示意义。     

南祁连党河南山北坡两个不同特征的金矿床

为深入研究甘肃南祁连党河南山北坡金铜矿产的成矿规律和控矿因素，笔者采用地质地球化学方法首次对区内黑刺沟和贾公台两个金矿床进行了较为系统的研究，发现它们的成矿特征有很大差异：黑刺沟金矿床以富As，Sb的微细浸染蚀变岩型金矿化为主，其次为辉锑矿石英脉型金矿化；而贾公台金矿床则以少硫化物石英脉型金矿化和蚀变岩型金矿化为特征，As，Sb含量不高。研究认为黑刺沟金矿床与矿区石英正长闪长岩类有成因联系，贾公台金矿床与矿区斜长花岗岩有成因联系，不同的岩浆活动造成了金矿化特征的差异。     

安徽沙溪斑岩型铜金矿床成岩序列及成岩成矿年代学研究

沙溪矿床是长江中下游成矿带中典型的斑岩型铜金矿床,位于庐枞盆地北外缘、郯庐断裂内,矿床成岩成矿时代确定对该矿床成因研究及区域成矿规律的认识具有重要意义。在详细野外地质工作的基础上,采集沙溪矿床与成矿有关的主要岩浆岩样品(粗斑闪长玢岩、黑云母石英闪长玢岩、中斑石英闪长玢岩、细斑石英闪长玢岩和闪长玢岩)和与黄铜矿密切共生的辉钼矿,分别利用Cameca、LA-ICP-MS U-Pb和Re-Os同位素定年方法,获得矿床内主要岩浆岩的成岩年龄(130.60±0.97Ma、129.30±1.00Ma、127.10±1.50Ma、129.46±0.97Ma和126.7±2.1Ma)以及成矿年龄(130.0±1.0Ma),并重新厘定了沙溪岩体从早到晚岩浆的侵位序列。通过区域对比,提出长江中下游存在两阶段斑岩型铜金矿化,沙溪矿床为长江中下游成矿带第二阶段形成的斑岩型矿床,沙溪矿床的成岩成矿作用既不同于庐枞盆地,也不同于断隆区第一阶段的斑岩矿床,而是受郯庐断裂和长江断裂动力学演化联合作用的产物。     

Formation of weathering-derived magnesite deposits in the New England Orogen, New South Wales, Australia: Implications from mineralogy, geochemistry and genesis of the Attunga magnesite deposit

Nodular, cryptocrystalline, weathering-derived magnesite deposits in the New England Orogen, Australia, provide a significant source of high-purity magnesite. Common textural features and related isotopic fingerprints indicate a close genetic relationship between weathering-derived magnesite deposits hosted by ultramafic rocks at Attunga and by sediments at Kunwarara while silica-carbonate rock alteration and rare hydrothermal magnesite vein deposits reflect contrasting conditions of formation. Localised weathering of carbonates in a soil environment shifts stable isotopic composition towards low δ ¹³C and high δ ¹⁸O typical for weathering-derived magnesites while intrusion-related fluids do not significantly change the isotopic composition of affected carbonates. At Attunga, magnesite consists of irregular, nodular veins and masses filling faults and cracks in the weathered serpentinite host rock as well as soft powdery magnesite in pervasive serpentinite alteration zones. The high-grade magnesite at Attunga can be contaminated by amorphous silica and serpentine relicts but does not contain dolomite or ferroan magnesite as observed for its hydrothermal equivalent, the Piedmont magnesite deposit, or other widespread deposits of silica-carbonate rock in the Great Serpentinite Belt. Heavy δ ¹⁸O values are compatible with a supergene formation from meteoric waters while low δ ¹³C suggests C3-photosynthetic plants as the predominant source of carbon for the Attunga magnesites. We infer that weathering-derived, nodular magnesite deposits hosted in ultramafic rocks like the Attunga magnesite deposit have formed in a two-step process involving the hypogene formation of a pre-cursor magnesite deposit and complete supergene overprinting by meteoric waters that acquired carbon from percolation through soil.     

新疆西准噶尔金矿类型及找矿方向

新疆西准噶尔金矿属岩浆期后热液石英脉型金矿。从有利于找矿角度出发,根据含金石英脉所产出的条件不同,可划分为六种类型。其中以产于玄武岩中及产于中酸性侵入岩接触带附近的含金石英脉意义较大。中酸性侵入岩接触带附近及断裂破碎带是成矿最有利部位,因此是今后找矿的主要地段。而已知矿床的深部及其外围找矿的潜力极大,重要矿带上发现新矿床、寻找新类型的可能性也是极大的。     

藏南努日铜-钨-钼矿床晚白垩世石英闪长岩U-Pb定年及其地球化学特征

藏南努日矿床位于冈底斯成矿带南缘,前人获得的辉钼矿Re-Os同位素年龄为23 Ma,与明则和程巴矿床成矿时代一致,但矿区内至今未发现与矿化有关的成矿斑岩体。本文报道了努日矿区新发现的与矿化关系密切的石英闪长岩的地球化学特征,获得石英闪长岩的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为93.42±0.76 Ma,与同一成矿带内桑布加拉和克鲁铜金矿成矿时代一致(90~93 Ma),表明矿区可能存在两期成矿事件。石英闪长玢岩的主量微量元素SiO_2含量为57.19%~58.23%,A1_2O_3含量为15.78%~16.03%,MgO含量为4.74%~5.32%,Mg~#指数为65.2~67.3;富集大离子亲石元素(Rb、Sr、Ba、U等)及轻稀土元素,亏损高场强元素,显示出埃达克岩特征。研究表明石英闪长玢岩形成于洋壳俯冲阶段的弧岩浆岩,洋壳熔融形成的母岩浆侵入近地表形成早期铜多金属矽卡岩矿化。晚白垩世成矿事件的发现进一步佐证了研究区存在两期矿化叠加事件,拓展了研究区找矿方向。     

豫西嵩县上庄坪铅锌银矿床地球化学特征及地质意义

上庄坪铅锌银矿床是新一轮国土资源大调查中在北秦岭二郎坪群发现的硫化物矿床。笔者通过对矿床矿石、容矿同岩、重晶石岩的微量、稀土元素地球化学特征分析和地质特征研究,探讨成矿构造环境、成矿物质来源及矿床成因问题。研究表明.矿石和容矿围岩稀土元素球粒陨石标准化组成模式均为右倾型.矿石与围岩在Cu-Pb-Zn判别图解中投点区域一致.矿石Zn/(Zn Pb)与冲绳海槽和上向黑矿矿石特征相似、与TAG和EPR13°N区硫化物存在差异.矿石具较高As、Sb和Pb与低Cu、Cd和Se元素特征.认为该矿床成矿元素来源于壳幔混合、但以壳源为主的围岩变(石英)角斑岩和变细碧岩。矿石稀土元素、微量元素地球化学特征、矿床地质特征及与热水沉积重晶石岩和硅质岩的紧密共生关系说明,上庄坪矿床是弧后盆地构造环境海底热液喷流成岩成矿作用的产物。重晶石岩、硅质岩、矿床纵向和横向分带是寻找和勘探该类矿床的重要标志和依据。     

Quartz resources in the Serra de Santa Helena formation,Brazil: A geochemical and technological study

This study presents an evaluation of Brazilian quartz deposits of Corinto and Olhos D'água, in Minas Gerais State, as potential high purity raw material for the production of silica glass. Both deposits are part of the Serra de Santa Helena formation, which holds other quartz deposits. Several quartz samples from these mines were analyzed to evaluate their chemical purity, by determination of the content of trace elements by ICP-MS after acid digestion. The technological characteristics of the ores after flame-fusion into silica glass were evaluated according to their bubble generation and UV transparency. The results indicate that silica glass with chemistry suitable for crucible applications can be obtained from materials of both mines, and even optical grade silica glass can be manufactured using transparent ore from one of the mines. In addition, this work explores the trace elements composition of each mine, as well as their fluid inclusions, and characterizes the mines as being of hydrothermal origin. Small differences in the physical and chemical characteristics of quartz that could affect the technological behavior of the ores are related to the geological history of the mines and provide interesting insights regarding the exploration of other quartz resources within the same geological formation.     

黔东南金矿形成时代的确定兼论湘黔加里东金矿带

黔东南金矿是赋存在新元古代浅变质岩系中的石英脉型金矿,变质岩的原岩是一套火山-沉积岩,由凝灰岩、凝灰质砂岩、粉砂岩等组成,多具清楚的条纹韵律结构,反映了一种浊流沉积的环境。石英脉的产出受背斜构造和剪切断裂控制,有整合层间脉与断裂破碎带充填脉两种类型。石英脉的组成比较简单,除石英外,主要是硫化物类矿物及捕获的围岩成分。通过对5个矿点的石英中包裹体的Rb-Sr同位素测定和等时线法定年,确定其成矿时代为加里东期,与比邻的湘西同类型金矿的形成时代一致。根据赋矿地层岩性、地质演化历史与构造环境的比较,圈划出了一个湘黔加里东金矿带,对今后的找矿工作会有参考价值。     

山东胶东地区某些金矿床的氩、氢、氧稳定同位素地球化学及矿床成因

通过矿床地质特征、流体包裹体及氧、氢稳定同位素的研究,认为马家窑金矿属再平衡岩浆热液矿床,金青顶和十里铺金矿属大气降水热液矿床。马家窑金矿石英的δD、δ¹⁸O值高,变化小,比较稳定;蚀变岩石的δ¹⁸O在磺向上由围岩向矿脉逐渐升高。金青顶和十里铺金矿石英的δD、δ¹⁸O值低、变化大;蚀变岩石的δ¹⁸O值由地表向深部逐渐降低。开展金矿的氮稳定同泣素研究,在国内尚数首次。马家窑金矿³⁶Ar在温度300℃以下相对含量不到10%,金青顶和十里铺金矿³⁶Ar则达90%以上,表明前者以岩浆成因⁴⁰Ar为代表,后者则以大气氩³⁶Ar为代表,进而表明马家窑金矿是再平衡岩浆热液成因,金青顶和十里辅金矿是大气降水热液成因。示踪结果与H、O同位素一致,表明氩同位素在示踪成矿热液、矿床成因研究方面是一种较为有效的手段。     

Geochemical peculiarities of ores from the largest Natalka gold deposit in Northeastern Russia

This study of the behavior of trace and rare earth elements in ores from the Natalka gold deposit allows us to draw several conclusions. It is suggested that ore formation is related to the regional metamorphism of the host terrigenous carbonaceous rocks, which could be the major source for trace and rare earth elements. Minor enrichment of the Natalka ores in W is evidence of the contribution of magmatic fluid, which could be superimposed on early quartz veins, in ore formation. Our results support the metamorphic–magmatic model of formation of economic gold–quartz deposits of the Yana–Kolyma Belt. The similarity of metasomatites of the Natalka deposit with disseminated gold–sulfide refractory ores from the Nezhdaninskoe and Bakyrchik deposits points to the possible presence of such ores in the Natalka deposit. Our data are important for forecasting regional metallogenic reconstructions, search, and evaluation of gold deposits.
