白云鄂博铌稀土铁矿的成矿地质条件及矿床成因

白云鄂博矿区的铁矿和铌稀土分属两个成矿期和两种不同的成因。矿区位于华北地台北缘白云鄂搏大陆坡的南缘。铁矿是中元古界蓟县系哈拉霍疙特组内的层控受变质铁矿，赋存在宽沟南侧的层状白云岩中，该白云岩是铁矿层是在两条同生断裂所控槽状泻湖中沉积的。除白云岩外，宽沟南北两侧地层均可对比，同属白云鄂博群。     

白云鄂博铌、稀土铁矿的成矿地质条件及矿床成因

白云鄂博矿区的铁矿和铌、稀土矿分属两个成矿期和两种不同的成因。铁矿是中元古界蓟县系哈拉霍疙特组内的层控受变质铁矿，赋存在宽沟南侧的层状白云岩中，该白云岩及铁矿层是在两条同生断裂所控槽状泻湖中沉积的。除白云岩外，宽沟南北两侧地层均可对比，同属白云鄂博群。铁矿层的原生矿物为以菱铁矿为主的FeCO3－MgCO3系列矿物，受后期侵入岩的热变质作用转变为磁铁矿及赤铁矿。铌、稀土成矿作用与脉状、瘤状碳酸岩有关。矿区已发现该类脉岩40余条，可分为白云石质及方解石质两类，以前者为主。两类碳酸岩的稀土元素特征均为轻稀土高度富集型，铕弱亏损到富集，其来源较深碳酸岩体沿断裂侵入造成强烈而广阔的碱交代蚀变带，以霓长石化为主，其强度与稀土矿化强度呈正相关关系。推测矿区在不大的深度内赋存有较大的隐伏碳酸岩侵入体。     

Silver-Bearing and Associated Minerals in El Zancudo Deposit, Antioquia, Colombia

The occurrence and the chemical compositions of ore minerals (especially the silver‐bearing minerals) and fluid inclusions of the El Zancudo mine in Colombia were investigated in order to analyze the genetic processes of the ore minerals and to examine the genesis of the deposit. The El Zancudo mine is a silver–gold deposit located in the western flank of the Central Cordillera in Antioquia Department. It consists mainly of banded ore veins hosted in greenschist and lesser disseminated ore in porphyritic rocks. The ore deposit is associated with extensive hydrothermally altered zones. The ores from the banded veins contain sphalerite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena, Ag‐bearing sulfosalts, Pb‐Sb sulfosalts, and minor chalcopyrite, electrum, and native silver. Electrum is included within sphalerite, pyrite, and arsenopyrite, and is also partially surrounded by pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, and tetrahedrite. Native silver is present in minor amounts as small grains in contact with Ag‐rich sulfosalts. Silver‐bearing sulfosalts are argentian tetrahedrite–freibergite solid solution, andorite, miargyrite, diaphorite, and owyheeite. Pb‐Sb sulfosalts are bournonite, jamesonite, and boulangerite. Two main crystallization stages are recognized, based on textural relations and mineral assemblages. The first‐stage assemblage includes sphalerite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena and electrum. The second stage is divided into two sub‐stages. The first sub‐stage commenced with the deposition and growth of sphalerite, pyrite, and arsenopyrite. These minerals are characterized by compositional growth banding, and seem to have crystallized continuously until the end of the second sub‐stage. Tetrahedrite, Pb‐Cu sulfosalts, Ag‐Sb sulfosalt, and Pb‐Ag‐Sb sulfosalts crystallized from the final part of the first sub‐stage and during the whole second sub‐stage. However, one Pb‐Ag‐Sb sulfosalt, diaphorite, was formed by a retrograde reaction between galena and miargyrite. The minimum and maximum genetic temperatures estimated from the FeS content of sphalerite coexisting with pyrite and the silver content of electrum are 300°C and 420°C, respectively. These estimated genetic temperatures are similar to, but slightly higher than the homogenization temperatures (235–350°C) of primary fluid inclusions in quartz. The presence of muscovite in the altered host rocks and gangue suggest that the pH of the hydrothermal solutions was close to neutral. Most of the sulfosalts in this deposit have previously been attributed as the products of epithermal mineralization. However, El Zancudo can be classified as a xenothermal deposit, in view of the low pressure and high temperature genetic conditions identified in the present study, based on the mineralogy of sulfosalts and the homogenization temperatures of the fluid inclusions.     

Zircon U‐Pb age,Trace Element,and Hf Isotopic Compositions of Nordmarkite in the Lizhuang Rare Earth Element Deposit in the Western Margin of the Yangtze Block

The Mianning–Dechang(MD) rare earth element(REE) belt, located in the northern Kangdian axis(KDA) in the western margin of the Yangtze platform, is one of the most economically significant REE mineral belts in China. REE mineralization is associated with Himalayan carbonatite–alkaline complexes. The Lizhuang nordmarkite occurred in the northern part of the MD REE belt. The majority of zircons from the Lizhuang nordmarkite are characterized by pronounced positive Ce yet slightly negative Eu anomalies and high U/Yb. Moreover, all zircons have stable Hf isotopic compositions with initial ~(176) Hf/(~(177)Hf) ratios ranging from 0.282739 to 0.282808 and an average value of 0.282773. The negative Lu/Hf and positive ε_(Hf)(t) range from-0.98 to-0.94(average value of-0.96) and from-0.56 to 1.89(the majority is positive, with an average of 0.66), respectively. These characteristics indicate that the rock is derived from an enriched mantle and subducted material. LA-ICP-MS analysis of the zircons from the intrusion yields a weighted mean ~(206)Pb/(~(238)U) age of 28.57±0.61 Ma. During this period, the tectonic activity in the KDA is not plate subduction but an intraplate tectonic exhibiting fold–thrust and strike–slip behaviors in the western marginal zone of the Yangtze platform(WMYB). We suggest the possibility of an existing eastward old slab subduction under WMYB combined with a regional tectonic evolution. The Lizhuang nordmarkite may be derived from an enriched mantle beneath the western part of the Yangtze craton, which originated from the remelting of the Tethys subducting slab, because of the Himalayan strike–slip that formed a special type of REE deposit called strike–slip-type REE deposits.     

REE Abundance and REE Minerals in Granitic Rocks in the Nanling Range,Jiangxi Province,Southern China,and Generation of the REE‐rich Weathered Crust Deposits

Studies of Mesozoic granites associated with rare earth element (REE)‐rich weathered crust deposits in southernmost Jiangxi Province indicate that they have high‐K to shoshonite compositions and belong to ilmenite‐series I‐type granites. Of the studied rocks at 59–292 ppm of bulk REE content, the highest are seen in the biotite granites of Dingnan (358, 429 ppm) and mafic biotite granite of the Wuliting Granite (344 ppm) near the Dajishan tungsten mine, both areas where weathered‐crust REE deposits occur. REE‐bearing accessory minerals in these granites are mainly zircon, apatite and allanite, and REE‐fluorocarbonates are common. REE enrichment occurs in the rims of apatite crystals, and in fluorocarbonates that occur along grain boundaries of and cracks in major silicate minerals, and in fluorocarbonates that replaced altered biotite. It is therefore thought that a major part of the REE content of these granites was concentrated during deuteric activity, rather than during magmatic crystallization. The crack‐filling REE‐fluorocarbonates could subsequently have been easily leached out and deposited in weathered crust developed during a long period of exposure.     

云南邦棍尖山花岗岩的岩石学、地球化学和年代学特征对离子吸附型稀土成矿的制约

云南陇川龙安稀土矿是云南境内唯一开采的离子吸附型稀土(iREE)矿床,其成矿母岩为邦棍尖山花岗岩。近年来该花岗岩风化壳中相继发现了一系列iREE矿化点甚至矿床,其中不乏重稀土(HREE)矿。本文选取邦棍尖山南段的花岗岩进行岩石学、矿物学、地球化学和年代学等研究工作,并探讨其对iREE(甚至离子吸附型重稀土(iHREE))成矿的制约。邦棍尖山岩体的主要岩性为黑云母二长花岗岩,本研究测得花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄为50.33 Ma(50.33±0.30 Ma, MSWD=0.15),形成于喜山期(古近纪),是目前发现的成矿母岩最年轻的iREE矿床。花岗岩具有以下地球化学特征：高硅高碱、低铁低镁,A/CNK>1.1,高钾-强过铝质,S型。岩体轻稀土(LREE)相对富集,轻重稀土分异较强烈(LREE/HREE为2.54～8.98),Eu负异常(δEu=0.06～0.17);微量元素显示出高Rb、Th,低Ba、Nb、Sr、Zr、Hf、Ti的特征,岩浆岩高度分异。邦棍尖山花岗岩中的(含)稀土矿物主要是榍石(∑REE=14506.24×10^-6,LREE/HREE=1.14,...     

Concurrent Determination of U‐Pb Age and REE Mass Fractions of Zircon by High Mass Resolution SIMS

A combined geochronological and geochemical investigation for the same domain of zircon provides valuable information on timing and genesis, particularly in the case of multi‐growth metamorphic zircon. A high spatial resolution concurrent analytical method for zircon U‐Pb age and rare earth element content was successfully achieved in this study, using a multi‐collector secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS) at a ~ 8 μm diameter scale. Special instrument parameters were employed, including a high mass resolution of approximately 15000 applied to replace the previous energy filter method, and a dynamic multi‐collector mode used to reduce the measurement time to 18 min per analysis. Six zircon reference materials yielded precise and accurate ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages, which are comparable to those obtained by the ordinary mono‐collector method, but with 2–3 times higher spatial resolution. All zircon grains measured in this study showed enriched heavy‐REE (HREE) contents consistent with previously reported values determined by LA and solution ICP‐MS methods. The light‐REE (LREE) mass fractions measured using both SIMS and LA‐ICP‐MS methods in this study, although with quite different volume, show consistent results within uncertainties.     

南岭离子吸附型稀土矿床成矿规律研究新进展

离子吸附型稀土矿是我国的优势资源,是全球重稀土的主要来源。20世纪80年代我国对此类矿床的成矿规律开展过大量研究,但仍有诸多未解之谜。为了解目前离子吸附型稀土资源的分布特征和成矿规律,2011~2015年中国地质科学院矿产资源所三稀项目组对52个离子吸附型稀土矿床进行了综合研究,本文介绍稀土成矿规律研究方面取得的一些新进展:(1)离子吸附型稀土矿床广泛分布在华南地区,以南岭最为发育,近些年在越南、老挝、泰国及美国也有发现。矿床主要产在花岗岩和酸性火山岩风化壳中,近几年也在变质岩和灰岩风化壳中有所发现,但花岗岩离子吸附型稀土矿床规模较大,品位较高,仍是最为重要的一类(亚类)稀土矿床;(2)成矿花岗岩的形成时代范围较宽,锆石U-Pb年龄集中在461~384Ma、228~242Ma和189~94Ma三个区间。相对于LREE型成矿花岗岩,HREE型更加富硅,富HREE,具有强烈的负Eu异常,普遍高Rb,低Ti、Zr、Hf、Nb、Ta、Ba、Sr等微量元素,暗示HREE型成矿花岗岩岩浆经历了高度分异。值得注意的是,部分LREE型成矿花岗岩相对富集HREE,特别是富集Y,轻重稀土元素比值(LREE/HREE)多介于1~3之间,风化易形成HREE型风化壳,这很可能是今后重稀土资源的重要来源之一;(3)成矿花岗岩中稀土矿物的成因多样,有岩浆成因(如榍石、褐帘石、独居石、磷钇矿等)、流体交代成因(稀土氟碳酸盐类)和表生成因(水磷铈矿、水磷镧矿等),稀土元素的内生矿化很大程度上受流体交代作用影响;(4)发育完整的风化壳垂向剖面中稀土元素含量呈"弓背式"分布,即表土层和半风化层中含量低,全风化层中含量高,但受地形、地貌及地表水等因素的影响,稀土含量变化曲线呈多种形态。垂向上LREE和HREE可分层富集,即全风化层上部富集LREE,下部富集HREE,也可以同时富集在全风化层下部。华南大量成矿母岩和风化壳样品的化学风化蚀变指数(CIA)与稀土元素总量(∑REE)之间存在明显的相关性,当CIA85%时,CIA与∑REE呈正相关,当85%CIA100%时,CIA与∑REE呈负相关;(5)表生过程中,母岩中易风化的稀土矿物不断释放出可交换性吸附态的稀土元素,酸性淋滤作用是稀土元素迁移的动力,黏土矿物是稀土元素赋存的载体,风化程度影响稀土元素的次生富集。     

黑龙江省砂宝斯金矿床矿石矿物与金矿物特征研究

为给砂宝斯金矿床的勘探和利用提供依据,本文总结了多年的野外观察资料,并通过镜下鉴定、人工重砂、电子探针等方法对该矿床的矿石矿物、金矿物特征进行了系统研究。结果表明,该矿床的矿石类型为贫硫化物微细粒浸染型金矿石,矿石矿物主要为黄铁矿,次为毒砂,含有较多的微量元素;脉石矿物主要为石英。矿石结构主要为半自形-自形、他形、交代、固溶体分离结构,浸染状或细脉浸染状构造。金矿物主要为自然金,其赋存状态以硫化物中包裹金和脉石粒间金为主,主要为微粒金及次显微金,呈微细分散状态。除Au元素外,矿床中其他元素均不具有综合利用价值,有害元素含量低。     

Zircon U-Pb Age and Geochemistry of the Ore-hosting Ultramafic Complex of Zhou’an PGE-Cu-Ni Deposit, Henan Province, Central China

The Zhou’an PGE-Cu-Ni deposit was recently discovered in the Qinling orogenic belt bound by the Yangtze and the North China Cratons. It is a blind deposit thoroughly covered by the Cenozoic alluvial sediments in the Nanyang Basin. As the first large PGE-Cu-Ni deposit discovered in the Qinling-Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt, its geological and geochemical characteristic, isotope age, genesis and tectonic setting are of wide concern in both scientific studies and ore exploration. In this contribution, we report the results obtained from a pioneering study. The Zhou’an ultramafic complex is ferruginous, with m/f?=?4.79–5.08, and shows the nature of tholeiite series. It is rich in light rare earth elements, Rb, Th, U, La, Sm, Zr and Hf, and poor in heavy rare earth elements, Nd and Ta, suggesting an intraplate setting. It has high 87Sr/86Sr and low 143Nd/144Nd ratios. The ratios of Zr/Nb, La/Nb, Ba/Nb, Rb/Nb, Th/Nb, Th/La and Ba/La, suggest the magma originated from lithosphere mantle. The Fo values of olivine and Pd/Ir-Ni/Cu diagram suggest primary magma was High Mg basalt. The laser ablation inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy zircon U-Pb age is 641.5?±?3.7 Ma.     

河北省东坪金矿钾质蚀变岩中的两期锆石年代学研究及意义

河北省崇礼县东坪金矿位于水泉沟碱性杂岩体内, 金矿石包括低硫化物石英脉型和钾质蚀变岩型两种类型。本次工作我们对采自东坪金矿70号脉深部的钾质蚀变岩中的锆石进行了成因矿物学和成矿年代学研究, 结果表明, 矿脉中的锆石可以分成岩浆锆石和热液锆石两种成因类型。岩浆锆石具有自形到半自形结构,在背散射电子图像(BSE)上呈暗灰色, 在阴极发光图像(CL)上具有明显的岩浆振荡环带, 锆石U-Pb加权平均年龄为382.8±3.3 Ma。热液锆石多呈不规则状充填在岩浆锆石中, 在BSE图像上呈亮灰白色, 在CL图像上为深黑色(无阴极发光), 锆石的Th、U含量和Th/U比值较岩浆锆石明显增高, 锆石U-Pb加权平均年龄为140.3±1.4 Ma, 说明东坪金矿形成于早白垩世。140 Ma成矿年龄的发现, 为认识河北省东坪金矿的成矿时代提供了新证据, 具有重要的地质意义。     

湖南七宝山铜多金属矿床石英斑岩时代与成因:锆石U-Pb定年及Hf同位素与稀土元素证据

湖南浏阳七宝山铜多金属矿床位于钦杭成矿带西段,是湘东北规模最大的铜多金属矿床。矿床的形成与区内的石英斑岩关系密切。石英斑岩内锆石具有岩浆锆石特征,LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果为155~153 Ma,代表其形成年龄,属晚侏罗世岩浆活动产物。岩浆锆石的~(176)Hf/~(177)Hf=0.282296~0.282603,εHf(t)=–12~–2.7,平均地壳模式年龄tDM2=1377~2056 Ma;锆石ΣREE=496~4162μg/g,(Yb/Nd)N=71.9~3133.8,HREE强烈富集,具有强烈Ce正异常(δCe=1.68~203.13)和强烈至中等Eu负异常(δEu=0.05~0.67),表明石英斑岩的岩浆源区具有明显壳源特征,来自于古元古代至中元古代地壳的部分熔融。结合岩石学研究,七宝山矿区石英斑岩的形成除了中下地壳冷家溪群或更古老的基底物质的部分熔融外,还有幔源组分加入,这一期岩浆与成矿作用与岩石圈拆离和软流圈物质上涌及随后的玄武岩底侵作用有关。     

桂西北明山卡林型金矿床热液矿物的显微组构与化学成分特征及其对成矿作用的指示

桂西北明山金矿是滇黔桂地区代表性的卡林型金矿之一,矿体受平行于区域性断裂右江断裂的北西西向次级断层控制,赋存于二叠系灰岩之上的中三叠统钙质细砂岩、碳钙质泥质粉砂质岩中。地质、岩相学特征和阴极发光、背散射电子影像、电子探针等分析研究表明,明山金矿发育了3个成矿阶段的热液矿物组合,不同热液矿物普遍具有多世代的特点。热液矿物中见有波状消光、带状消光、毕姆纹、压溶劈理、位错滑移等韧性剪切带粒内应变特征,坑道中也见有黄铁矿石英脉发生韧性变形、又被后期石英脉切断的现象,说明矿床经历了多次的脆-韧性变形。不同矿化期（阶段）的黄铁矿中Au和As的含量表明:沉积期黄铁矿Au、As的含量较低;成岩期黄铁矿中Au的含量高但As含量不高;而成矿期3个阶段的热液黄铁矿中都含较高的As和Au;热液黄铁矿核部包裹的交代残余黄铁矿Au、As含量较高,但变化范围较大,可能是变质成因。紧邻矿体的围岩中成岩黄铁矿从中心向外Au和As的含量逐渐降低,说明其中的As和Au在后来的构造和（或）热液事件中发生了活化迁移,越靠近颗粒边缘元素的活化迁移越强,这表明成矿物质来自于围岩。根据这些事实,推断明山矿区可能在成岩期发生了金的预富集,变形变质早期富含有机质的变质流体活动又使As发生了富集,主变质期流体的广泛渗透交代、活化出先存含金富砷黄铁矿中的Au和As,形成成矿流体。当成矿流体遇到富含活性铁的炭钙质泥质粉砂岩时,形成黄铁矿的同时发生Au的沉淀。     

四川石棉大水沟碲矿床稀土元素地球化学特征

通过对大水沟碲矿床矿体与围岩稀土元素地球化学组成及特征研究表明,矿体与围岩的稀土元素特征截然不同,表明它们形成于同一地质时期和地质环境。大水沟碲矿床受岩浆作用改造,成矿物质应源于岩浆岩,且围岩与矿体存在氧化还原地球化学界面;稀土元素球粒陨石标准化分配模式图显示,大水沟赋矿围岩、贫碲矿石稀土元素具有大陆拉斑玄武岩的稀土元素特征,表明该碲矿床成因与峨眉山玄武岩有关。     

四川大陆槽稀土矿床碳酸岩-英碱正长岩锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素性质及其地质意义

川西冕宁-德昌稀土成矿带是中国最重要的稀土成矿带之一,所有稀土矿床均与碳酸岩-正长岩杂岩体有关.前人研究表明,牦牛坪、木落寨和里庄碳酸岩-碱性杂岩体成岩年龄与其相应矿床的成矿年龄基本一致,而大陆槽正长岩年龄与REE矿床的成矿年龄相差甚远.本文对大陆槽碳酸岩、英碱正长岩进行了SHRIMP U-Pb锆石年代学和LA-MC-ICPMS锆石Hf同位素原位测量,它们的形成年龄分别为12.99±0.94Ma、14.53±0.31Ma,表明两者是同时形成的,且与其成矿年龄基本一致.碳酸岩和正长岩的εHf(t)值、Hf模式年龄与它们的εNd(t)值、Nd模式年龄所展现出来的特征一致,说明在其形成过程中有地壳物质的加入.     

四川冕宁木落寨稀土矿床稀土矿化与围岩特征

木落寨矿床是冕宁—德昌稀土元素(REE)矿带内的主要稀土矿床,位于矿带北段,雅砻江断裂以西。该稀土矿床的形成与正长岩-碳酸岩杂岩体密切相关。与冕宁—德昌REE矿带中其它矿床例如牦牛坪、大陆槽矿床不同的是,牦牛坪和大陆槽矿床的围岩主要是石英闪长岩,而木落寨REE矿床中围岩较复杂,主要有大理岩、绿片岩、碱性花岗岩等。已有研究表明石英闪长岩并不是牦牛坪和大陆槽矿床稀土元素的主要来源,对木落寨矿床来说,围岩对成矿的作用还需进一步研究。采用ICP-MS与XRF,对大理岩和绿片岩这两种主要的围岩进行主微量元素分析,全岩稀土配分曲线显示轻稀土亏损(大理岩3×10~(–6)~20×10~(–6),绿片岩62×10~(–6)~74×10~(–6)),重稀土平坦,总稀土含量低(大理岩4×10~(–6)~21×10~(–6),绿片岩86×10~(–6)~97×10~(–6)),与本次研究的木落寨正长岩中稀土含量(592×10~(–6)~2 026×10~(–6))和以往研究的冕宁—德昌成矿带其他三个矿床的碳酸岩-正长岩杂岩体中稀土含量(碳酸岩2 470×10~(–6)~40 807×10~(–6),正长岩630×10~(–6)~3 233×10~(–6))相比,大理岩和绿片岩中稀土元素含量过低,显示在稀土物质来源上,这两种围岩可能对成矿贡献不大,根据剖面展示,矿体大部分出现在正长岩裂隙中,极少部分出现在正长岩和大理岩接触面中,大理岩可能提供碳酸根离子,促进交代和成矿作用的进行。木落寨矿石类型主要是细脉浸染型,少量为条带型。通过手标本、镜下和BSE图像观察,脉石矿物主要有萤石+方解石+重晶石+石膏+黄铁矿+方铅矿+石英+金云母等,矿石矿物为氟碳铈矿,氟碳铈矿叠加在已形成的脉石矿物之上,显示矿床主要形成于热液阶段最晚期。     

黔西北天桥铅锌矿床热液方解石C、O同位素和REE地球化学

利用连续流动质谱和电感耦合等离子体质谱(ICP-MS)对黔西北天桥铅锌矿床原生矿石中脉石矿物热液方解石C、O同位素组成和稀土元素含量进行了分析,结果表明热液方解石C、O同位素组成相对均一,不同标高方解石C、O同位素组成不具明显差别,其δ13CPDB和δ18OSMOW分别为-3.4‰～-5.3‰和14.7‰～19.5‰,在δ13CPDB-δ18OSMOW图上介于原始碳酸岩与海相碳酸盐岩之间。热液方解石总稀土元素含量较低(ΣREE=6.80×10-6～49.1×10-6),表现为轻稀土富集、Eu负异常的"M"型,其Eu/Eu*变化范围为0.30～0.55,与硫化物具有相似的稀土配分模式。根据热液方解石与蚀变围岩、远矿围岩及不同时代地层碳酸盐岩的C、O同位素组成和REE含量特征对比结果,结合前人研究成果,认为该矿床成矿流体具"多来源混合"特征,其中围岩碳酸盐岩为成矿流体提供了主要的C和REE来源,地层中膏岩海相硫酸盐岩为成矿流体提供了主要的S来源,而成矿流体中的水则主要为变质基底昆阳群等提供的变质水,并受到大气降水的影响。     

布拖小洞子萤石矿床稀土元素地球化学特征及意义

萤石经常以脉石矿物存在于各类金属矿床中,但以矿石矿物与金属矿物共存较为少见。布拖小洞子铅锌矿体和萤石矿体是赋存在震旦系灯影组不同部位的典型矿床,受四开-交际河断裂的次级断层带控制,是该区较为特殊,研究程度较低的一类矿床。其中萤石矿床产于与黑色燧石条带白云岩相关的断裂构造,矿石矿物以萤石为主。本文通过对震旦系灯影组下部萤石矿床开展稀土元素地球化学研究,结果表明轻稀土元素富集,重稀土元素略亏损,LREE/HREE介于0.96~1.61,(La/Yb)_N为1.19~3.23,稀土元素配分图表现出略微右倾的特征,具Eu正异常和Ce负异常特征。Tb/Ca-Tb/La、Y/Ho-La/Ho及La/Yb-∑REE等图解表明小洞子萤石矿床主要为同一体系不同阶段的热液产物,破碎带充填交代型矿床成因,其成矿物质来源与灯影组地层和峨眉山玄武岩热液有关。     

四川冕宁箐水沟稀土矿地质特征及找矿前景

该论文对箐水沟稀土矿区域地质背景,矿区含矿地层、控矿构造、岩浆岩、变质作用、矿体特征、矿石矿物组成、矿石化学成分及伴生元素、稀土元素的赋存状态,找矿标志等进行了研究。总结了区内氟碳铈矿型稀土矿的控矿因素主要有地层、构造、岩浆岩、围岩蚀变等。矿区及其外围成矿地质条件良好,通过进一步工作可望找到较大的稀土矿。     

Samarium–Neodymium and Rubidium–Strontium Isotopic Dating of Veined REE Mineralization for the Bayan Obo REE‐Nb‐Fe Deposit,Northern China

The Bayan Obo REE‐Nb‐Fe deposit in Inner Mongolia, China, consists of later REE‐mineralizing fluorocarbonate veins cutting the earlier banded and massive ores in the deposit. Samarium–neodymium dating using the minerals including huanghoite and rubidium–strontium dating using single‐grain biotites both from the later veins show concordant isochrons corresponding to 442 ± 42 Ma (2σ uncertainty) and 459 ± 41 Ma, respectively. The isochron ages suggest that the later REE vein mineralization took place during the middle Paleozoic at Bayan Obo, consistent with geological observations and age data previously reported.
