内蒙古武川县赵井沟铌钽多金属矿床白云母~(40)Ar-~(39)Ar同位素年龄及地质意义

内蒙古赵井沟铌钽多金属矿是近年来取得较大找矿进展的大型稀有金属矿床,初步探明铌钽氧化物储量超过8200吨,前人对其矿床地质特征已有初步研究,但其成矿时代尚未精确厘定。本文以赵井沟铌钽多金属矿区内天河石花岗伟晶岩脉中的白云母为研究对象,利用~(40)Ar-~(39)Ar同位素年代学方法,以确定其成矿时代。研究发现矿区内铌钽矿化主要赋存在碱长花岗岩、碱长花岗细晶岩、云英岩和天河石花岗伟晶岩中,且铌钽矿物与白云母同时形成,有重要的共生关系,故本次研究获得的白云母坪年龄123.57±0.66 Ma和等时线年龄124.0±2.0 Ma具有地质意义,可代表成矿年龄。这一成果表明赵井沟铌钽多金属矿床形成于燕山晚期(至少延续至早白垩世),与前人获得的锆石年龄有较大差异,这对分析其矿床成因有重要意义。同时,结合区域地质资料,本文认为华北地台北缘内蒙古地轴中部在燕山运动的晚期存在一次重要的稀有金属成矿事件。     

In situ U–Pb isotopic dating of columbite–tantalite by LA–ICP–MS

Columbite–tantalite (Coltan) is the most important niobium (Nb)- and tantalum (Ta)-bearing economic mineral, commonly occurring in rare metal granite and pegmatite, alkaline granite, syenite and carbonatite. Its high U but low common Pb contents make it an ideal mineral for U–Pb isotopic dating of Nb–Ta mineralization. In order to establish a feasible coltan dating method by in situ laser-ablation (LA) ICP–MS, we determined the U–Pb ages of five coltan samples from different pegmatites and rare-metal granites in China. In order to evaluate the potential matrix effect between different minerals, a 91500 zircon was used as external standard during analyses. The results show that, compared to the recommended ages, approximately 7–15% younger ages were yielded for the analyzed coltan samples in both single spot and line raster scan analytical methods, indicating a significant matrix effect between coltan and zircon. However, by using a coltan standard from Namibia (Coltan139), the coltan sample from Dahe pegmatite (SNNT) has a weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 363 ± 4 Ma (2σ, n = 25) and 357 ± 5 Ma (2σ, n = 20) in single spot and line raster scan analytical methods, respectively; the coltan samples from Altai No.3 pegmatite (713-79), Yichun topaz-lepidolite granite (Yi-1) and Huangshan albite granite (LS-15) have weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages of 218 ± 2 Ma (2σ, n = 20), 160 ± 1 Ma (2σ, n = 20) and 130 ± 1 Ma (2σ, n = 20), respectively, in single spot mode. These ages agree well with the previously published data, and hence support the reliability of our analytical method. Although the analyzed coltan minerals show a large variation of chemical compositions, no significant matrix effect was observed, which suggests that a coltan material should be used as an external standard for U–Pb dating of coltan by LA–ICP–MS. Using the established analytical protocol, we date the Nanping pegmatite (NP155), a main Nb–Ta deposit in China without known age, and obtain a weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 391 ± 4 Ma (2σ, n = 20), which is considered as the best estimation of Nb–Ta mineralization time in the area.     

滇西晚白垩世-始新世花岗伟晶岩型稀有金属成矿事件：来自铌钽铁矿、独居石、锆石U-Pb年代学的约束

滇西地区位于东特提斯构造域东段, 经历了特提斯构造域复杂的地质演化过程, 导致该地区发育大量与稀有金属成矿相关的花岗伟晶岩脉, 具有极好的花岗伟晶岩型稀有金属成矿地质条件。区域地质调查评价和地球化学填图显示滇西地区具备形成锂、铍、铌、钽等稀有金属矿产资源的良好潜力。本文以滇西地区黄连沟、黄草坝、那俄、杞木寨、麻栗脑、禾波、黑妈等含稀有金属矿化的花岗伟晶岩为研究对象, 通过铌钽铁矿、独居石、锆石等LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年手段, 对这些花岗伟晶岩型稀有金属矿床/点开展成矿/成岩年代学研究。结果显示滇西花岗伟晶岩型稀有金属矿床主要形成于晚白垩世-始新世(ca.70~40Ma), 与中国其他地区花岗伟晶岩型稀有金属矿床主要形成于早古生代和中生代时期有显著的差异。本文年龄结果表明滇西地区存在多阶段花岗伟晶岩型稀有金属成矿事件, 可能与区域新特提斯构造-岩浆活动关系密切。这些年龄为探讨滇西花岗伟晶岩型稀有金属成矿规律, 有效指导区域找矿勘探部署和建立该地区伟晶岩型稀有金属矿床成矿模型奠定了理论基础。

     

江西石城海罗岭花岗岩型铌钽矿床岩石地球化学、 年代学特征及其地质意义

稀有金属矿产是江西省优势矿产资源,成矿类型以花岗岩型为主,主要分布于赣西和赣北地区,以宜春414超大型钽铌矿为代表,而花岗岩广泛分布的赣南地区鲜有关于燕山期花岗岩型稀有金属矿床的报道。本文以赣南石城海罗岭铌钽矿床为研究重点,结合详细的野外调查,开展花岗岩的岩石学、岩石地球化学和同位素年代学等研究,厘定了海罗岭的中粒斑状黑云母二长花岗岩- 中细粒黑云母二长花岗岩岩石组合,明确了钠长石化叠加白云母化的中粒斑状黑云母二长花岗岩与铌钽矿密切相关的成矿专属性。海罗岭的成矿作用具两阶段特征,早阶段以蚀变花岗岩型钽铌矿为主,赋存于钠长石化白云母化中粒斑状黑云母二长花岗岩中,晚阶段则以花岗伟晶岩型锂矿为主,赋存于云母锂辉石伟晶岩中。海罗岭的花岗岩主要经历了钠长石化、白云母化、黄玉化、绢云母化、硅化等蚀变作用,呈现碱性长石化→云英岩化的演化过程。海罗岭花岗岩具富硅、富碱、富铝,贫钛、镁的特征,其中钠长石化白云母化中粒斑状黑云母二长花岗岩（富钽花岗岩）中F含量为8330×10-6～13076×10-6,平均为10475×10-6,具极低的Nb/Ta值（0. 34~0. 49）、Zr/Hf值（3. 73~4. 19）、稀土总量低（ΣREE为16. 3×10-6~23. 2×10-6）和“四分组”效应等特征,显示其成矿经历了岩浆- 流体相互作用的过程。研究显示,Li矿化富集程度与F含量呈明显的正相关,与稀土总量、K/Rb值呈负相关;Ta矿化富集程度与F含量呈明显的正相关,与Nb/Ta值、Zr/Hf值呈明显的负相关。中细粒黑云母二长花岗岩锆石U- Pb年龄为141. 9±1. 1 Ma,云母锂辉石伟晶岩和碱性长石伟晶岩独居石U- Pb年龄分别为141. 68±0. 69 Ma和137. 62±0. 73 Ma,均归属于早白垩世。研究表明,赣南地区140 Ma左右可能存在一次与钠长石化叠加白云母化中粒斑状黑云母二长花岗岩相关的独特的铌钽矿成矿事件和与花岗伟晶岩相关的锂成矿事件。这一发现打破了以往华南稀有金属主要赋存于燕山期复式岩体晚期二云母花岗岩- 白云母花岗岩中的认识,拓宽了找矿思路,为赣南乃至华南地区稀有金属找矿提供了新的方向。     

湘东北幕阜山地区燕山期岩浆演化与稀有金属成矿的关系

湘东北幕阜山地区分布传梓源(锂矿、铌钽矿)、仁里(钽铌矿)和虎形山(钨矿、铍矿)大型稀有金属矿床,是湖南省重要的伟晶岩型稀有金属矿集区。通过对幕阜山地区花岗岩和伟晶岩开展年代学和地球化学研究,探讨该区燕山期岩浆演化与稀有金属成矿的关系,结果表明: 该区岩浆活动自侏罗纪(154 Ma)持续到白垩纪(92 Ma),形成了复式花岗岩体和伟晶岩脉,伟晶岩空间具有含矿分带性; 伟晶岩的成矿年龄(130~127 Ma)与二云母二长花岗岩的成岩年龄(137~129 Ma)相近,成矿作用与岩浆高分异演化密切相关; 伟晶岩含矿分带性受成矿流体温度影响,矿流体温度由岩体向外成逐渐降低,形成了“岩体内伟晶岩型铍矿带—距岩体0~3 km伟晶岩型铌钽矿带—距岩体3~5 km伟晶岩型锂铌钽矿带—距岩体5~10 km石英脉型铍矿带”的环状分布格局。     

湘东北幕阜山地区燕山期岩浆演化与稀有金属成矿的关系

湘东北幕阜山地区分布传梓源(锂矿、铌钽矿)、仁里(钽铌矿)和虎形山(钨矿、铍矿)大型稀有金属矿床,是湖南省重要的伟晶岩型稀有金属矿集区。通过对幕阜山地区花岗岩和伟晶岩开展年代学和地球化学研究,探讨该区燕山期岩浆演化与稀有金属成矿的关系,结果表明: 该区岩浆活动自侏罗纪(154 Ma)持续到白垩纪(92 Ma),形成了复式花岗岩体和伟晶岩脉,伟晶岩空间具有含矿分带性; 伟晶岩的成矿年龄(130~127 Ma)与二云母二长花岗岩的成岩年龄(137~129 Ma)相近,成矿作用与岩浆高分异演化密切相关; 伟晶岩含矿分带性受成矿流体温度影响,矿流体温度由岩体向外成逐渐降低,形成了“岩体内伟晶岩型铍矿带—距岩体0~3 km伟晶岩型铌钽矿带—距岩体3~5 km伟晶岩型锂铌钽矿带—距岩体5~10 km石英脉型铍矿带”的环状分布格局。     

Petrogenesis of Lingshan highly fractionated granites in the Southeast China: Implication for Nb-Ta mineralization

Whole rock major and trace element and Sr-, Nd- and Hf-isotope data, together with zircon U-Pb, Hf- and O-isotope data, are reported for the Nb-Ta ore bearing granites from the Lingshan pluton in the Southeastern China, in order to trace their petrogenesis and related Nb-Ta mineralization. The Lingshan pluton contains hornblende-bearing biotite granite in the core and biotite granite, albite granite and pegmatite at the rim. In addition, numerous mafic microgranular enclaves occur in the Lingshan granites. Zircon SIMS U-Pb dating gives consistent crystallization ages of ca. 132 Ma for the Lingshan granitoids and enclaves, consistent with the Nb-Ta mineralization age of ∼132 Ma, indicating that mafic and felsic magmatism and Nb-Ta mineralization are coeval. The biotite granites contain hornblende, and are metaluminous to weakly peraluminous, with high initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of 0.7071–0.7219, negative ε_Nd(t) value of −5.9 to −0.3, ε_Hf(t) values of −3.63 to −0.32 for whole rocks, high δ¹⁸O values and negative ε_Hf(t) values for zircons, and ancient Hf and Nd model ages of 1.41–0.95 Ga and 1.23–1.04 Ga, indicating that they are I-type granites and were derived from partial melting of ancient lower crustal materials. They have variable mineral components and geochemical features, corresponding extensive fractionation of hornblende, biotite and feldspar, with minor fractionation of apatite. Existence of mafic microgranular enclaves in the biotite granites suggests a magma mixing/mingling process for the origin of the Lingshan granitoids, and mantle-derived mafic magmas provided the heat for felsic magma generation. In contrast, the Nb-Ta mineralized albite granites and pegmatites have distinct mineral components and geochemical features, which show that they are highly-fractionated granites with extensive melt and F-rich fluid interaction in the generation of these rocks. The fluoride-rich fluids induce the enrichment in Nb and Ta in the highly evolved melts. Therefore, we conclude that the Nb-Ta mineralization is the result of hydrothermal process rather than crystal fractionation in the Lingshan pluton, which provides a case to identify magmatic and hydrothermal processes and evaluate their relative importance as ore-forming processes.     

湘东北仁里-传梓源铌钽矿床隐伏花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄、Hf同位素特征及其地质意义

幕阜山复式花岗岩基位于扬子板块与华夏板块交接处的江南隆起带中段,是我国重要的稀有金属矿集区。仁里-传梓源超大型铌钽矿床位于幕阜山复式花岗岩基南缘的冷家溪群片岩中,是我国少有的高品位花岗伟晶岩型铌钽矿床,其下盘隐伏花岗岩为粗中粒似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩。全岩地球化学分析结果显示,隐伏岩体属过铝质高钾钙碱性岩系列,明显富集轻稀土元素(LREE),相对亏损高场强元素(如Nb、Ti)。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果表明,该隐伏岩体形成于晚侏罗世(146.2±0.2 Ma)。岩石的εHf(t)值和二阶段模式年龄tDM2分别为-10.8～-5.3和1884～1537 Ma。结果表明,仁里-传梓源铌钽矿床隐伏花岗岩原岩源于中元古代地壳的熔融,并受到一定程度下地壳物质的影响。结合区域地质背景,该岩体形成于陆内挤压造山阶段结束后,挤压环境向伸展环境转变的大地构造背景,深部物质的加入也为仁里-传梓源铌钽矿床提供了成矿物质来源。     

幕阜山矿集区黄柏山锂铌钽矿床地质特征及找矿方向

江南造山带中段幕阜山稀有金属矿集区是我国东部重要的锂铌钽资源基地, 区域锂资源主要集中于锂辉石伟晶岩中。但此类伟晶岩常受到岩浆出溶热液的叠加作用, 导致锂不同程度的流失, 因此新鲜锂辉石伟晶岩的产出条件与精准定位, 成为区域成矿理论研究与锂资源勘查的突破重点。笔者研究团队近年来在幕阜山地区新发现的黄柏山锂铌钽矿床, 产出了区域少有的大规模新鲜锂辉石伟晶岩脉。本次研究在黄柏山矿床已开展的化探、探槽、钻探等勘查工作基础上, 系统总结了矿床的地质条件, 精确厘定其成矿时代, 初步建立了仁里-黄柏山矿田成矿模型, 并进一步指出区域找矿方向。黄柏山矿床位于幕阜山岩体西南缘, 矿床内伟晶岩总体沿片岩片理产出, 其类型主要为(白云母)钠长石伟晶岩和锂辉石钠长石伟晶岩, 稀有金属矿化组合为Be-Nb-Ta-Li, 稀有金属矿物主要为绿柱石、铌钽铁矿和锂辉石。矿床内锂辉石多为新鲜无蚀变(＞96%), 少数晶体边缘具弱蚀变或锂辉石+石英蠕虫状共生结构, 为岩浆演化晚阶段流体出溶导致的弱酸性交代所致。三种类型锂辉石的Li2O为7.72%~7.82%, 基本未发生锂的流失, 这与区域构造交汇导致容矿空间封闭性弱, 岩浆演化出溶热液第一时间运移扩散有关。黄柏山矿床稀有金属成矿作用发生在早白垩世(133.0±1.5Ma), 与幕阜山矿集区二云母花岗岩成矿阶段时限(135.8~133.0Ma)一致。本次工作通过对仁里-黄柏山矿田伟晶岩地表类型分带的重新厘定, 结合区域已有的成矿母岩及伟晶岩垂向分带研究成果, 提出黄柏山矿床、仁里矿床、深部成矿母岩三者从西至东呈现出由高至低的三维空间分布特征, 初步建立矿田"体中体"模型。该模型及稀有金属成矿作用特点显示, 矿田西南部冷家溪群与幕阜山岩体接触带区域, 尤其是高地形地区, 仍具有锂找矿潜力。     

Formation Age and Evolution Time Span of the Koktokay No. 3 Pegmatite,Altai, NW China: Evidence from U–Pb Zircon and 40Ar–39Ar Muscovite Ages

The Koktokay No. 3 pegmatite is the largest Li–Be–Nb–Ta–Cs pegmatitic rare‐metal deposit of the Chinese Altai orogenic belt, and is famous for its concentric ring zonation pattern (nine internal zones). However, the formation age and evolution time span have been controversial. Here, we present the results of LA‐ICP–MS zircon U–Pb dating and muscovite ⁴⁰Ar–³⁹Ar dating. Four groups of zircon U–Pb ages (～210 Ma, ～193–198 Ma, ～186–187 Ma and ～172 Ma) for Zones II, V, VI, VII, and VIII, and a weighed mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 965 ± 11 Ma for Zone IV are identified. Also, Zones II, IV, and VI have muscovite ⁴⁰Ar–³⁹Ar plateau ages of 179.7 ± 1.1 Ma, 182.1 ± 1.0 Ma, and 181.8 ± 1.1 Ma, respectively. Considering previous U–Pb age studies (Zones I, V, and VII), the ages of emplacement, Li mineralization peak, hydrothermal stage of the No. 3 pegmatite are in ranges of 193–198 Ma, 184–187 Ma and 172–175 Ma, with weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb–²³⁸U ages of 194.8 ± 2.3 Ma, 186.6 ± 1.3 Ma and 173.1 ± 3.9 Ma, respectively. The No. 3 pegmatite formed in the early Jurassic. The results of xenocrysts suggest that there is another pegmatite forming event of around 210 Ma in the mining district and the old zircon U–Pb ages imply that Neoproterozoic crustal rocks pertain to sources of the No. 3 pegmatite. Including the previous muscovite ⁴⁰Ar–³⁹Ar age studies (Zones I and V), a cooling age range of 177–182 Ma is considered as the time of hydrothermal stage and end of formation. The evolution process of the No. 3 pegmatite lasted 16 Ma. Therein, the magmatic stage continued for 9–11 Myr and the magmatic–hydrothermal transition and hydrothermal stages were sustained at 5–7 Ma. These time spans are long because of huge scale, cupola shape, large formation depth, and complex internal zoning patterns and formation processes. Considering some pegmatite dikes in the Chinese Altai, there is an early Jurassic pegmatite forming event.     

内蒙古赵井沟铌钽矿床燕山期成矿:来自LA-MC-ICP-MS独居石、锆石U-Pb和黑云母40Ar-39Ar年龄的证据

内蒙古武川县赵井沟铌钽矿是新近取得勘查突破的一例大型铌钽矿床.矿体赋存岩石为含天河石钠长花岗岩,其次为花岗细晶岩、云英岩及天河石花岗伟晶岩.运用LA-MC-ICP-MS法对矿区钠长花岗（细晶）岩脉、正长花岗岩中的独居石、锆石进行了U-Pb同位素年龄测定,同时对石英-黑云母脉中的黑云母进行了40Ar-39Ar定年.4件独居石的LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄分别为124±2 Ma（MSWD=2.9,n=27）、124±3 Ma（MSWD=2.0,n=46）、121±1 Ma（MSWD=3.3,n=43）和124±2 Ma（MSWD=3.2,n=12）,1件锆石的LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄为125±1 Ma（MSWD=1.6,n=18）;黑云母40Ar-39Ar坪年龄为133.84±0.79 Ma（MSWD=3.31）,40Ar/36Ar-39Ar/36Ar等时线年龄为134.55±0.79 Ma（MSWD=1.93）,反等时线年龄为134.58±0.80 Ma（MSWD=1.99）,这些年龄限定赵井沟铌钽矿形成于早白垩世.综合分析表明,燕山期是内蒙古地区重要的铌钽成矿期,赵井沟铌钽矿是燕山期伸展体制下构造岩浆活动的产物.      

40Ar/39Ar Geochronology of Volcanic and Intrusive Rocks in the Papandayan Metallic Prospect Area,West Java,Indonesia

This study presents new ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages on the volcanic and intrusive rocks from the Papandayan metallic district in West Java, Indonesia. The vein system in the Arinem area, one of the prospective areas in the district, has been considered as an epithermal gold–silver–base metal deposit, however, no published age results are available for the host volcanic rocks in the district. The ages of these rocks are critical in terms of their association with mineralization and are important to understand the evolution of volcanism in the region, which has implications for mineral exploration in the district. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateau ages of two typical basalt and one andesite samples of the Jampang Formation volcanic rocks yielded ages of 11.65 ± 0.52 Ma, 18.15 ± 0.46 Ma and 7.69 ± 0.05 Ma, respectively. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages of three intrusive rock samples from Gunung Halang diorite, Gunung Lingga diorite, and Gunung Buligir fine‐grained quartz diorite yielded ages of 12.98 ± 0.20 Ma, 10.81 ± 0.15 Ma, and 7.37 ± 0.05 Ma, respectively. The age of the youngest fine‐grained diorite (Gunung Wayang dike) is 3.95 ± 0.03 Ma. An ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age obtained from adularia in the Arinem mineralized vein (18.30 ± 0.20 Ma) is older than the age of altered basalt sample of this study (11.65 ± 0.52 Ma) and the K–Ar illite ages of the Arinem vein (9.4 ± 0.3 Ma and 8.8 ± 0.3 Ma) which resulted from a previous study. The age results suggest that the Papandayan district may have experienced multiple hydrothermal and mineralization events. This study, therefore, provides crucial age data to support future mineral exploration in the district.     

喜马拉雅琼嘉岗超大型伟晶岩锂矿的形成时代、源区特征及分异特征

喜马拉雅新生代淡色花岗岩带是近年来提出的与高度结晶分异、异地深成淡色花岗岩有关的稀有金属战略远景区,目前其金属组合以铍-铌-钽（-锡-钨）为主。秦克章等（2021a）报道了在高喜马拉雅带珠峰地区发现的琼嘉岗锂矿,是喜马拉雅首例具有工业价值的伟晶岩型锂矿。本次研究重点揭示喜马拉雅琼嘉岗伟晶岩型锂矿的成矿特征、形成时代和源区特征。琼嘉岗矿区矿石矿物主要为锂辉石、铌铁矿-铌锰矿、少量锡石和绿柱石,特征性长柱状锂辉石主要产于块体微斜长石+锂辉石带和分层细晶岩带内。琼嘉岗锂辉石伟晶岩各结构分带的K/Rb含量较为相似,锂含量从边部细粒钠长石带（~100×10-6）到分层细晶岩带（~1000×10-6）,再到块体微斜长石+锂辉石带（>3000×10-6）逐渐升高,而Cs含量逐渐降低。独居石和铌钽铁矿族矿物LA-ICPMS定年结果显示,琼嘉岗锂辉石伟晶岩形成于新喜马拉雅阶段早期（25~24Ma）,与高喜马拉雅地区淡色花岗岩时代相近。矿物化学和独居石Nd同位素结果显示该稀有金属伟晶岩结晶于高度演化的花岗伟晶岩熔体,源区特征与高喜马拉雅结晶岩系一致。本研究所揭示的琼嘉岗成矿特征、形成时代和源区特征将为高喜马拉雅其它地区找寻大型花岗伟晶岩型锂矿提供重要借鉴意义。     

The long-lived partial melting of the Greater Himalayas in southern Tibet,constraints from the Miocene Gyirong anatectic pegmatite and its prospecting potential for rare element minerals

The Cenozoic Himalayan leucogranite-pegmatite belt has been a hotspot for rare metal exploration in recent years. To determine the genesis of the pegmatite in the Himalayan region and its relationship with the Greater Himalayan Crystalline Complex (GHC), the Gyirong pegmatite in southern Tibet was chosen for geochronological and geochemical studies. The dating analyses indicate that the U-Th-Pb ages of zircon, monazite, and xenotime exhibit large variations (38.6–16.1 Ma), with the weighted average value of the four youngest points is 16.5 ± 0.3 Ma, which indicates that the final stage of crystallization of the melt occurred in the Miocene. The age of the muscovite Ar-Ar inverse isochron is 15.2 ± 0.4 Ma, which is slightly later than the intrusion age, showing that a cooling process associated with rapid denudation occurred at 16–15 Ma. The ε_Hf(t) values of the Cenozoic anatectic zircons cluster between −12 and −9 with an average of −11.4. The Gyirong pegmatite shows high contents of Si, Al, and K, a high Al saturation index, and low contents of Na, Ca, Fe, Mn, P, Mg, and Ti. Overall, the Gyirong pegmatite is enriched in Rb, Cs, U, K, Th and Pb and depleted in Nb, Ta, Zr, Ti, Eu, Sr, and Ba. The samples show a high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_{(16 Ma)} ratio of ca. 0.762 and a low ε_{Nd(16 Ma)} value of −16.0. The calculated average initial values of ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb_{(16 Ma)}, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb_{(16 Ma)} and ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb_{(16 Ma)} of the whole rock are 39.72, 15.79 and 19.56, respectively. The Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotopic characteristics of the Gyirong pegmatite are consistent with those of the GHC. This study concludes that the Gyirong pegmatite represents a typical crustal–derived anatectic pegmatite with low metallogenic potential for rare metals. The Gyirong pegmatite records the long–term metamorphism and partial melting process of the GHC, and reflects the crustal thickening caused by thrust compression at 39–29 Ma and the crustal thinning induced by extensional decompression during 28–15 Ma.©2023 China Geology Editorial Office.

Petrogenesis and tectonic evolution of Lianyunshan complex,South China: Insights on Neoproterozoic and late Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the central Jiangnan Orogen

The Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks in South China are separated by the ca. 1500 km long Jiangnan Orogen. The Lianyunshan complex, located in the central segment of Jiangnan Orogen, includes wide exposures of late Mesozoic granites. Here we report geological, geochronological and geochemical data from the Lianyunshan late Mesozoic granites and their Neoproterozoic host rocks belonging to the Lengjiaxi Group. Detrital zircon U–Pb ages reveal a single prominent peak at ca. 840 Ma in the metamorphosed and deformed Lengjiaxi Group samples. Ten of the youngest zircon grains in these rocks have a weighted mean age of 828.8 ± 7.1 Ma, which is tentatively interpreted as the maximum depositional age of the Lengjiaxi Group. Two stages of late Mesozoic S-type granites are dated at ca. 150 Ma and ca. 140 Ma from the Lianyunshan domain. From early to late, these rocks show decreasing MgO, CaO, Fe₂O₃^T, TiO₂ contents and increasing SiO₂, K₂O, Eu/Eu*, Rb/Sr ratios and differentiation index, suggesting continuous magmatic evolution dominated by fractional crystallization. The εHf(t) values of zircons with late Mesozoic ages are all negative, with their two-stage model ages mainly ranging from 1.9 to 1.4 Ga, which is significantly different from the model age of the host rocks belonging to the Lengjiaxi Group. These results indicate that the late Mesozoic granites were mainly derived from the partial melting of Paleo-Mesoproterozoic basement rocks that are older than Lengjiaxi Group. Major and trace element features suggest that the protoliths of these early stage granites in Lianyunshan are probably mixed greywacke and shale. The arc-like trace elements signature of all the late Mesozoic granites were possibly inherited through crustal contamination during the magma genesis caused by slab rollback associated with Paleo-Pacific subduction during 150- to 140 Ma beneath the central Jiangnan belt.     

阿尔金中段吐格曼北花岗伟晶岩型锂铍矿床多阶段岩浆-成矿作用

花岗伟晶岩型稀有金属矿床多阶段成岩成矿是近年来伟晶岩型矿床成因研究的热点与前沿问题。吐格曼北花岗伟晶岩型锂铍矿床是阿尔金中段地区近年来新发现的稀有金属矿床, 一些伟晶岩脉发育并保存复杂的分带及多期多阶段的成岩成矿现象。本文在介绍吐格曼北锂铍伟晶岩中多期多阶段成岩成矿现象的基础上, 选择ρ31伟晶岩脉中包含锡石与锂辉石角砾的白云母钠长花岗岩(20AE43-3)、ρ87伟晶岩脉深部的细晶花岗岩(ZK8702-79.3)与TC87探槽中发育含铌钽铁矿细晶花岗岩(20TC8701-1-1)及其中的含铌钽铁矿-白云母伟晶岩(20TC8701-1-2)开展锆石与铌钽铁矿的LA-ICP-MS测年研究。结果显示: 1) ρ31伟晶岩脉中含锡石与锂辉石角砾的白云母钠长花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄为436.0±1.1Ma; 2) ρ87伟晶岩脉深部的细晶花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄为415.4±1.5Ma; 3) ρ87伟晶岩脉TC87探槽中含铌钽铁矿细晶花岗岩及其中铌钽铁矿-白云母伟晶岩的铌钽铁矿U-Pb年龄分别为434.6±2.8Ma与414.7±3.0Ma。综合前人发表的测试分析结果, 本文指出吐格曼北锂铍矿区存在三期成岩成矿作用: 468~454Ma、436~434.6Ma与415.4~414.7Ma。结合区域构造演化与花岗岩发育特征, 我们认为吐格曼北锂铍矿区发育的三期锂铍花岗岩-伟晶岩成岩成矿作用分别形成于阿中地块与阿南地块的后碰撞伸展阶段、阿中地块与阿北地块的碰撞阶段以及阿尔金地块与东昆仑地块的后碰撞伸展阶段。

     

西昆仑大红柳滩-白龙山矿集区锂矿成矿特征与成矿规律初探

大红柳滩-白龙山一带是西昆仑-喀喇昆仑花岗伟晶岩分布最为集中、稀有金属矿化最好的地区。通过多年的研究, 本文对大红柳滩-白龙山矿集区21个锂多金属矿床进行了全面系统的梳理, 将矿集区划分为大红柳滩矿田和白龙山矿田。矿集区内赋矿地层巴颜喀拉山群的形成时代为214~223Ma, 花岗岩岩体年龄208~214Ma, 不含矿伟晶岩年龄为210~213Ma, 含矿伟晶岩年龄为206~213Ma, 反映出稀有金属矿产与中生代岩浆岩具有耦合关系。成矿母岩(二云母花岗岩、黑云母花岗岩等)演化后期分异的含锂稀有金属伟晶岩脉沿着片理化带或构造薄弱地段就位成矿, 成矿空间为距离中酸性岩体500~2000m的巴颜喀拉山群(或康西瓦岩群)地层中, 符合构造-岩浆-层位"三位一体"控矿规律。同时, 项目组将大红柳滩-白龙山矿集区从北至南划分为5个稀有金属矿化伟晶岩脉群带, 分别为: 阿克萨依稀有金属矿化伟晶岩脉群带、大红柳滩北稀有金属矿化伟晶岩脉群带、大红柳滩南稀有金属矿化伟晶岩脉群带、白龙山-雪凤岭锂矿化伟晶岩脉群带、俘虏沟-双牙锂矿化伟晶岩脉群带。其中, 白龙山-雪凤岭锂矿化伟晶岩脉群带长约18km, 俘虏沟-双牙锂矿化伟晶岩脉群带长约25km, 这2个带呈南北对称分带。而俘虏沟-双牙锂矿化伟晶岩脉群带显示了巨大的找矿潜力, 是下一步找矿的重要地段。
