澳大利亚伊尔岗克拉通科马提岩型镍矿成矿作用及找矿方法

澳大利亚西部伊尔岗克拉通卡尔古利地体是世界上太古宙与科马提岩有关的硫化物镍矿床最为集中的地区。该区科马提岩型硫化镍矿床主要有两大类型：①由高品位的块状、海面陨铁状和网状矿石组成,赋存于科马提岩熔岩流（主要为火山橄榄岩）底部,以卡姆巴尔达矿床为代表;②以低品位的浸染状镍硫化物矿石为主,赋存于厚层纯橄榄岩的中部,以芒特基斯为代表。与镍成矿有关的科马提岩形成于晚太古代（2．70Ga）,具铝不亏损（Al2O3／TiO2=15～25）地球化学特征,一般形成于具含硫围岩的动态高岩浆流环境。伊尔岗克拉通科马提岩型镍硫化物矿床形成于经历岩浆作用（结晶、分异和浓集）和地壳硫混染作用的硫不饱和镁铁质-超镁铁质岩浆的熔岩通道或管道中。在矿床成因讨论的基础上,提出该类型矿床的找矿标志和勘查方法。

全球红土型镍矿床的基本成矿规律

全球红土型镍矿床具有明显的时空分布规律, 红土型镍矿体则具有明显的垂向分带规律。红土型镍矿化强度明显受成矿母岩成分(包括镍含量、岩石地球化学成分、矿物成分)、气候、地形地貌、水文地质、构造地质、成矿时间长短及风化壳成熟度的影响和控制。红土型镍矿的矿床类型主要受气候、大地构造背景、构造隆升状态控制, 并受地形地貌、排水条件、成矿母岩岩性及其蛇纹石化程度影响。     

菲律宾迪纳加特岛红土型镍矿床地质特征及找矿勘查方法

通过对菲律宾迪纳加特岛风化壳氧化镍-硅酸镍矿床的成矿地质条件、矿床地质特征、成矿机制的分析和研究,认为矿床是由于超镁铁岩-橄榄岩在中生代、第三纪、第四纪的热带、亚热带气候条件下,经过风化作用,镍从含镍的硅酸盐矿物中淋滤出来,随地表水向下渗透到风化壳的下部,形成富含镍的次生矿物,具有典型的风化壳型硅酸镍矿床特点。找矿勘探工作要在找矿区域进行地质填图及工程取样扫面来确定矿化区。

印度尼西亚苏拉威西岛砾岩型红土镍矿床地质特征及成因

红土型镍矿是基性、超基性岩在热带、亚热带地区常年高温、多雨的环境下,经过风化--淋滤--沉积富集而成。基性、超基性岩是此类矿床的成矿母岩。因此,以往针对红土型镍矿的找矿勘探首先是寻找基性、超基性岩。笔者近期在印度尼西亚苏拉威西省Kolaka县发现了一种新型红土镍矿床,该矿床成矿母岩并非是基性、超基性岩,而是砾石成分以超基性岩为主的一套砾岩。为了区分传统意义上由基性、超基性岩风化淋滤形成的红土型镍矿,笔者将其称为砾岩型红土镍矿。该矿床的结构分带由上往下可分为:腐植土层、红土层、强风化砾岩层、半风化砾岩层、砾岩层,镍矿体主要分布于半风化砾岩层中。初步认为矿床是由砾岩经过风化--水解-淋滤-沉淀富集等作用形成的。

Biogeochemistry of a regolith: The New Caledonian Koniambo ultramafic massif

This work aims to elucidate the factors governing the mobility of metals in soils of a lateritic nickel ore deposit in New Caledonia. The transfer of nickel and associated metals is determined along a topographic sequence ranging from a plateau to a thalweg. Mining exploration borehole data and soil pit data enabled us to define the general geochemical trends of the lateritic weathering. The homogeneous topsoil, which consists mainly of iron oxy-hydroxides, exhibits various amounts of plant available metals. Two interrelated factors control the differences in metal availability: (1) the presence of nickel-rich soil horizons underlying the topsoil and formed of silicate minerals, and (2) the biological cycling of metals from these horizons to the surface. These results have major implications for topsoil management during the mining activity where it is important to minimise metal inputs to water systems and to restore endemic vegetation after mining.     

东南亚红土镍矿床地质地球化学特征及成因探讨——以印尼苏拉威西岛Kolonodale矿床为例

Kolonodale矿床是东南亚红土镍矿带上一处典型矿床,位于印度尼西亚苏拉威西岛东部。矿床产自富镁超基性岩红土风化壳,矿化剖面自上而下出现红土层→腐岩层→基岩层垂向分带。红土镍矿石产在红土剖面上部,载镍矿物是铁质氧化物。硅镁镍矿石产在红土剖面中下部,载镍矿物为镍蛇纹石、镍滑石等含水层状硅酸盐矿物。地球化学分析显示,沿矿化剖面元素地球化学分异非常显著,Ni次生富集效应明显。超基性岩红土化过程的元素地球化学行为具有多样性,Fe、Al、Ti、Cr属残留富集组分,Si、Mg属淋滤缺失组分,Mn、Ca、Co、Ni属次生富集组分。通过典型矿床对比,Kolonodale矿床属原地自生硅酸盐型红土镍矿床,其发育受地质背景和地表环境条件的综合制约。富镁超基性岩、良好的构造组合、稳定的大地构造环境、湿热热带雨林气候、有利地形地貌等均是成矿有利条件。综合分析认为,Kolonodale矿床的成矿过程可划分为腐岩化、红土化和次生富集3个成矿阶段。

Mineralogy and genesis of the Belogorsk skarn-magnetite deposit,primorye

The particularity of the formation of the skarn lodes of the Cretaceous-Paleogene Belogorsk deposit is the intense replacement of the early mineral assemblages (the decomposition of garnet, pyroxene, and pyroxenoids) with decreasing temperature, the increase in the amount of magnetite at the expense of Fe released from the decomposed minerals, and the formation of quartz and volatile-rich compounds (calcite, fluorite, amphibole, and sulfides). The geochemical and mineralogical similarity suggests a genetic relation between the manganese skarn lodes of the Belogorsk deposit (the Ol’ginsk ore district) and the stratabound bodies of the manganese silicate rocks (the Triassic contact metamorphosed metalliferous sediments) of the adjacent Shirokaya Pad area (as a source of matter).     

Mineralogy, geochemistry, and palynology of modern and late Tertiary mangrove deposits in the Barreiras Formation of Mosqueiro Island, northeastern Pará state, eastern Amazonia

A coastal environment has been interpreted from 110 cm thick mudstone deposits found at the base of a 10 m immature laterite profile, which forms the modern coastal cliff on Mosqueiro Island in northeastern Pará state, northern Brazil. The late Tertiary sediment deposits of the Barreiras Formation are studied by multi-element geochemistry and pollen analyses. The mineralogical and geochemical results show that the gray, organic-rich deposits are composed of kaolinite, quartz, and illite/muscovite, as well as pyrite and anatase. They are rich in SiO₂, Al₂O₃, and some FeO. The composition is homogenous, indicating that the detritus source area is formed of lateritic soils derived from acid rock composition. Their chemical composition, including trace elements, is somewhat comparable to continental shale, and the values are below the upper continental Earth crust composition. The pollen analytical data document that the mudstone deposits were formed by an ancient mangrove ecosystem. Mineralogical, geochemical, and pollen analytical data obtained from late Tertiary mangrove deposits are compared with modern mangrove deposits from the Bragança Peninsula of the northeastern coast of Pará state. Although the pollen composition of the deposits is very similar to the modern one, the geochemical and mineralogical composition is different. Smectite was only found in the modern deposit; illite/mica occurs in the ancient deposit, along with Mg, K, and Na. The pollen signature and detrital minerals (kaolinite, quartz and anatase) found in both mangrove deposits show that during the Miocene, a humid tropical climate condition prevailed, similar to modern conditions.     

中条山铜矿峪铜矿床蚀变及矿化特征研究

铜矿峪铜矿床是中条山成矿带的一个大型铜矿床。笔者通过详细的野外观察和系统的岩相学、矿相学工作,对铜矿峪铜矿床的地质、蚀变与矿化进行了详细研究,厘定了主要的围岩蚀变类型及分带特征,并初步探讨了矿化蚀变与成矿作用的关系。研究表明,该矿床早期蚀变为钠硅酸盐化、钾硅酸盐化和青磐岩化,晚期蚀变为长石分解蚀变。空间上,钠硅酸盐化位于岩体内部,钾硅酸盐化位于岩体及其周围地区,青磐岩化位于钾硅酸岩化外侧;钾硅酸盐化叠加于早期的钠硅酸盐化上,后期形成的长石分解蚀变强烈叠加于早期钾硅酸盐化上,位于钾硅酸盐化与青磐岩化之间。铜矿峪斑岩型铜矿床铜矿化应始于钾硅酸盐阶段的晚期,石英硫化物阶段是该矿床最主要的铜矿化阶段,石英碳酸盐阶段次之;另外,碳酸盐阶段也贡献了部分铜。铜矿峪矿体在赋存位置方面与玉龙、德兴、Malanjkhand矿床相似;脉体类型与沙溪、德兴矿床相似;蚀变类型与Tallberg、沙溪矿床基本一致;与Malanjkhand矿床一样都发育特征的钠长石化。     

Geological and Isotopic Constraints on the Metallogenic Evolution of the Proterozoic Sediment-Hosted Pb-Zn (Ag) Deposits of Brazil

Integrated studies of seven Proterozoic sediment-hosted, Pb-Zn-Ag sulfide deposits of Brazil, permit the estimation of the age of the hosting sequence and the mineralization, the nature of the sulfur and metal sources, the temperature range of sulfide formation and the environment of deposition. These deposits can be classified into three groups, according to their ages. (a) Archean to Paleoproterozoic: the Boquira deposit, in Bahia state, consists of stratiform massive and disseminated sulfides hosted by parametamorphic sequences of grunnerite-cummingtonite+magnetite that represent a silicate facies of the Boquira Formation (BF). Lead isotope data of galena samples indicate a time span between 2.7 and 2.5 Ga for ore formation, in agreement with the stratigraphic position of the BF. The relatively heavy sulfur isotope compositions for the disseminated and stratiform sulfides (+8.3 to +12.8 ‰ CDT)suggest a sedimentary source for the sulfur. (b) Paleo to Mesoproterozoic: stratiform and stratabound sulfides in association with growth faults are present in the Canoas mine (Ribeira, in Paraná state) and in the Caboclo mineralization (Bahia state). They are hosted by calcsilicates and amphibolites in the Canoas deposit, whereas in the Caboclo area the mineralization is associated with hydrothermally altered dolarenites at the base of the 1.2 Ga Caboclo Formation. The interpreted Pb-Pb age of the Canoas mineralization is coeval with the 1.7 Ga host rocks. Sulfur isotopic data for Canoas sulfides (+1.2 to +16 ‰ CDT) suggest a sea water source for the sulfur. The range between −21.1 and +8.8 ‰ CDT for the Caboclo sulfides could suggest the action of bacterial reduction of seawater sulfates, but this interpretation is not conclusive. (c) Neoproterozoic: stratiform and stratabound sulfide deposits formed during the complex diagenetic history of the host carbonate rocks from the Morro Agudo (Bambui Group), Irecê and Nova Redenção (Una Group), yield heavy sulfur isotope values (+18.9 to +39.4 ‰ CDT). The uniform heavy isotope composition of the barites from these deposits (+25.1 to +40.9 ‰) reflect their origin from Neoproterozoic seawater sulfates. The late-stage, and most important, metallic concentrations represent sulfur scavenged from pre-existing sulfides or from direct reduction of evaporitic sulfate minerals. Lead isotope data from the Bambui Group suggest focused fluid circulation from diverse Proterozoic sediment sources, that probably was responsible for metal transport to the site of sulfide precipitation. (d) Late Proterozoic to Early Paleozoic: lead-zinc sulfides (+pyrite and chalcopyrite) of Santa Maria deposits, in Rio Grande do Sul, form the matrix of arkosic sandstones and conglomerates, and are closely associated with regional faults forming graben structures. Intermediate volcanic rocks are intercalated with the basal siliciclastic members. Lead isotope age of the mineralization (0.59 Ga) is coeval with the host rocks. Sulfur isotopic values between −3.6 and +4.1 are compatible with a deep source for the sulfur.Geological, petrographic and isotopic data of the deposits studied suggest that they were formed during periods of extensional tectonics. Growth faults or reactivated basement structures probably were responsible for localized circulation of metal-bearing fluids within the sedimentary sequences. Sulfides were formed by the reduction of sedimentary sulfates in most cases. Linear structures are important controls for sulfide concentration in these Proterozoic basins.
