Age and geological position of the Okunyovo rare-metal ore magmatic complex (Western Sayan Mountains)

Geological, geochemical, and geochronological studies of rocks have been performed at the Okunyovo rare-metal ore magmatic complex (Western Sayan Mountains) composed of alkali granites and related F–Be mineralization. The geological data obtained and the features of the geochemical similarity of granite and ore mineralization identified are indicative of their genetic relation. Riebeckite from two granite samples has been subjected to ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar analyses. The estimated age values of 481.5 ± 2.7 Ma and 486.5 ± 5.8 Ma are consistent within the limits of error and determine the age of Okunyovo alkali granite within 481–486 Ma ago. These data have made it possible to relate the studied rock and ore formation to the development of the Early Paleozoic ASFR controlled by the mantle plume. Along with the Okunyovo rare-metal granite massif, within the Sayan Region of the magmatic province, there are a number of Early Paleozoic alkali massifs related to the Aryskan, Raduga, and Kazyr rare-metal deposits. They are located in the conjugation area of the Western and Eastern Sayan ridges, in the Early Paleozoic Eastern Sayan rare-metal magmatism zone specialized in Be, W, Mo, Zr, Nb, and REEs.     

Composition,sources, and mechanisms of origin of rare-metal granitoids in the Late Paleozoic Eastern Sayan zone of alkaline magmatism: A case study of the Ulaan Tolgoi massif

The Ulaan Tolgoi massif of rare-metal (Ta, Nb, and Zr) granites was formed at approximately 300Ma in the Eastern Sayan zone of rare-metal alkaline magmatism. The massif consists of alkaline salic rocks of various composition (listed in chronologic order of their emplacement): alkaline syenite → alkaline syenite pegmatite → pantellerite → alkaline granite, including ore-bearing alkaline granite, whose Ta and Nb concentrations reach significant values. The evolution of the massif ended with the emplacement of trachybasaltic andesite. The rocks of the massif show systematic enrichment in incompatible elements in the final differentiation products of the alkaline salic magmas. The differentiation processes during the early evolution of the massif occurred in an open system, with influx of melts that contained various proportions of incompatible elements. The magma system was closed during the origin of the ore-bearing granites. Rare-metal granitoids in the Eastern Sayan zone were produced by magmas formed by interaction between mantle melts (which formed the mafic dikes) with crustal material. The mantle melts likely affected the lower parts of the crust and either induced its melting, with later mixing the anatectic and mantle magmas, or assimilated crustal material and generated melts with crustal–mantle characteristics. The origin of the Eastern Sayan zone of rare-metal alkaline magmatism was related to rifting, which was triggered by interaction between the Tarim and Barguzin mantle plumes. The Eastern Sayan zone was formed in the marginal part of the Barguzin magmatic province, and rare-metal magmas in it were likely generated in relation with the activity of the Barguzin plume.     

Magmatism and formation conditions of the Urma helvite-bertrandite deposit,West Transbaikal berillium province

The relationships between mineralization and magmatism during the formation of the Early Mesozoic West Transbaikal beryllium province are exemplified in the Urma helvite-bertrandite deposit. The deposit is drawn toward granitoids of elevated alkalinity, which belong to the Tashir Complex. Mineralization is related to leucogranite and characterized by patched distribution controlled by localization of metasomatic alteration. The latter is identified owing to replacement of feldspar with microcline and albite followed by silicification related to fracture zones. Helvite and bertrandite are the major Be minerals at the deposit. The Be grade of the ore is nonuniform and varies from 740 to 25000 ppm. Zircon, malacon, monazite, allanite, bastnaesite, columbite, and xenotime occur in metasomatic rocks together with Be minerals. Geochemical characteristics of alkali granites and metasomatic rocks are similar in a wide range of incompatible elements. Both are characterized by lowered Ba, Sr, P, and Eu contents and enriched in Th, U, Pb, Zr, and Hf. The degree of enrichment is the highest in the ore. The Be content in the ore correlates with concentrations of a number of other rare metals typical of host granite, which form their own mineralization against the background of metasomatic alteration, including Zr and REE minerals. Similarity in geochemistry of granitic rocks and Be ore indicates that the Urma deposit was related to the evolution of magmatic melt. Regional correlation shows that the ore-magmatic system of the Urma deposit is close to that of the Orot deposit, one of the largest in the central segment of the West Transbaikal metallogenic province. Both deposits are characterized by a similar composition of granitoids and comparable localization of ore zones in the structure of plutons. This similarity supports the high ore resource potential of Early Mesozoic alkali granites in the western Transbaikal region. Taking into account that these granitoids are widespread in the West Transbaikal Rift Zone that controls the metallogenic province, one can expect the discovery of new deposits therein.     

Geochronology and tectonic setting of Pb–Zn–Mo deposits and related igneous rocks in the Yinshan region, Jinzhai, Anhui province, China

The Gaijing Pb–Zn–Mo deposit and Shapinggou Mo deposit in the Yinshan region, Jinzhai, Anhui province, China, are hosted in various granitic intrusions with ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages obtained for biotite and hornblende of 136.8 ± 1.6 Ma (medium-grained monzogranite), 130.4 ± 1.2 Ma (fine-grained granite), and 125.4 ± 1.0 Ma (fine-grained diorite). The modes of occurrence and cross-cutting relationships among the igneous intrusions indicate that alkali quartz-syenite and quartz-syenite porphyry (cryptoexplosive breccia) formed later than the calc-alkali monzogranite, granite, and diorite. Molybdenum mineralization occurs in pipe-like bodies hosted in cryptoexplosive breccia (pipe), quartz-syenite (porphyry), monzogranite, and granite, whereas Pb–Zn mineralization occurs in veins distally from the Mo mineralization. The Re–Os isotopic model ages of molybdenite from the Gaijing Pb–Zn–Mo deposit are 112.6 ± 1.3 and 113.5 ± 1.3 Ma, consistent with the ages of other molybdenum deposits throughout the East Qinling–Dabie metallogenic belt. The geological characteristics and isotopic ages of the Gaijing Pb–Zn–Mo and Shapinggou Mo deposits indicate a genetic relationship to the emplacement of the quartz-syenite (porphyry) and to shallow-seated porphyry–cryptoexplosive breccia intrusions. The present results, combined with existing data, suggest that the Pb–Zn–Mo deposits and related igneous rocks were formed in a geodynamic setting of regional lithospheric thinning, delamination, and thermal erosion in East China. The deposits are part of the East Qinling–Dabie molybdenum belt, which in turn is part of a large-scale E–W-trending metallogenic belt in East China.

Late Paleozoic alkali-granitic magmatism of Tuva and its relation to intraplate activity within the Siberian paleocontinent

Geological, petrologeochemical, and geochronological studies of the rocks from the Shivei alkali-granitic pluton were conducted. A pluton about 500 km² in area is a part of the larger (more than 30 000 km²) Kaakhem magmatic area. The data obtained allow us to characterize the magmatic complex of the Shivei pluton as a bimodal association with picrobasalts, subalkali basalts, and subalkali and alkali granitic rocks differentiated from syenites to leucogranites. The SHRIMP_II zircon dating from quartz syenites and alkali granites indicate the Permian age of the pluton (293.8 ± 3.8 Ma and 297.1 ± 3.8 Ma, respectively). Mafic-alkali-granitic associations similar in age and type, which are traced in the meridional direction along the Eastern Sayan toward the Siberian Platform, were distinguished as the Eastern Sayan zone of the Late Paleozoic alkaline magmatism. Its location corresponds to the western periphery of the Angaro-Vitim batholite and fits well into the zonal structure of the Barguzin magmatic province. We relate the geodynamic position of the Barguzin province with the mantle plume that was overlapped by the edge of the Siberian Pale-ocontinent in the course of its Paleozoic migration above the African hot spot.

Late Paleozoic and Early Mesozoic rare-metal magmatism of Central Asia: Stages, provinces, and formation settings

Late Paleozoic and Early Mesozoic epochs in the formation history of the Central Asian Foldbelt are distinguished by high rare-metal productivity. A number of large REE, Ta, Nb, Zr, Be, Sn, Li, Mo, Re, and other deposits were formed at that time. As a rule, they are of the magmatic origin and related to the intrusions of highly evolved igneous rocks varying in composition from alkaline ultramafic with carbonatites to alkali and Li-F granites. In general, the occurrences of rare-metal magmatism are related to the rift zones of the Central Asian Rift System formed 310?C190 Ma ago and conjugated with a consecutive series of the Barguzin, Hangay, and Hentiy zonal igneous provinces characterized by the large batholiths in their centers and rift zones in the framework. Such a structure indicates that these provinces were formed above isometric mantle sources or plumes with participation of large-scale crustal anatexis. The evident links of rare-metal deposits to occurrences of mantle magmatism within the zonal igneous provinces show that plume sources played an important role in their formation.

Age of the Vishnyakovskoe deposit of rare-metal pegmatites (East Sayan): U-Pb geochronological study of manganotantalite

The U-Pb age of the manganotantalite from rare-metal pegmatites of the Vishnyakovskoe deposit (East Sayan Belt) has been assessed at 1838 ± 3 Ma. The acquired data indicate the pegmatites of this deposit and associated granites of the Sayan complex belong to the postcollision South Siberian igneous belt (1.88–1.84 Ga), which stretches along the southwestern frame of the Siberian Craton by more than 2500 km, from the Yenisei Ridge to the Aldan Shield. Formation of this igneous belt is related to joining (starting from about 1.9 Ga BP) of the series of continental microplates and island arcs to the Siberian Craton; this led to final stabilization of the craton at about 1.8 Ga BP.     

赣北大湖塘地区昆山W-Mo-Cu矿床侵入岩锆石U-Pb、辉钼矿Re-Os年代学及地质意义

昆山W-Mo-Cu矿床地处赣北九岭矿集区南部,距大湖塘超大型钨矿床狮尾洞矿区仅3 km。矿床目前处于详查阶段,已探明钨达中型规模,同时伴生中型钼矿及小型铜矿,具有良好的找矿潜力。昆山矿床矿化样式较为单一,W-Mo-Cu矿体以石英脉形式产出,主要赋存在燕山期侵入岩顶部与新元古界双桥山群浅变质岩的外接触带,具有"上钨中钼下铜"的特点,明显区别于大湖塘矿床矿体主要产在燕山期侵入岩与晋宁期黑云母花岗闪长岩的内外接触带,具细脉浸染型白钨矿、热液爆破角砾岩型钨铜矿及石英脉型黑钨矿"三位一体"的矿化特征。本文在详细的野外地质调查基础上,对昆山W-Mo-Cu矿床的成岩成矿时代进行了详细研究,并探讨了其地质意义。利用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb法获得矿区内呈岩株状产出的似斑状花岗岩的年龄为151.7±1.3 Ma,晚期花岗斑岩脉的年龄为136.6±2.5 Ma;利用辉钼矿Re-Os法,获得辉钼矿Re-Os等时线年龄和加权平均年龄分别为151.0±1.3 Ma和150.0±1.0 Ma,厘定矿床成矿时代为晚侏罗世,且与似斑状花岗岩有关。结合前人所得高精度成岩成矿年龄数据,认为赣北地区燕山期成岩成矿具多期性,可分为160~150 Ma(塔前、朱溪钨多金属矿床)、140 Ma(大湖塘钨多金属矿床)和125 Ma(香炉山钨矿),主要集中于150~140 Ma。晚侏罗世,华南地区全面进入岩石圈"伸展-减薄"的地球动力学背景,赣北地区燕山期成岩成矿可能与这一构造背景有关。昆山矿床具"上钨中钼下铜"的分带模式,其成因值得进一步研究。     

The eastern boundary of the Baikal collisional belt: Geological,geochronological, and Nd isotopic evidence

New geological. geochronological, and Nd isotopic data are reported for the rocks occurring at the interfluve of the Barguzin, Nomama, and Katera rivers, where the main structural elements of the Early Paleozoic collisional system have been established. The strike-slip and thrust Tompuda-Nomama and Barguzin boundary sutures separate the Svetlaya and the Katera zones of the Baikal-Muya Belt from the Barguzin terrigenous-carbonate terrane. The age estimates of syntectonic (prebatholithic) gneissic granite and gabbrodiorite intrusive bodies (469 ± 4 and 468 ± 8 Ma, respectively) coincide with the age of collisional events in the Ol’khon, Southwest Baikal, and Sayan regions (480–470 Ma). A linear zone with zonal metamorphism and granite-gneiss domes dated at 470 Ma is revealed in the allochthonous fold-nappe packet of the Upper Riphean Barguzin Formation. This zone of Caledonian remobilization marks the collisional front between the Riphean structural units of the Barguzin Terrane consolidated 0.60–0.55 Ga ago and the Baikal-Muya Belt. New data allow us to recognize this zone as the northeastern flank of the Baikal Collisional Belt. The Nd isotopic data for the reference igneous complexes of the collisional zone indicate that the Late Riphean juvenile crust was involved in the Ordovician remobilization in the zone of conjugation of the consolidated Baikalian structural elements at the northeastern flank of the Baikal Belt and likely was a basement of the entire Barguzin Terrane or, at least, its frontal portion. The lateral displacements of the terranes to the northeast during the Early Ordovician collision were constrained by the rigid structural framework of the Baikalides in the Muya segment of the Baikal-Muya Belt, where the Riphean blocks were involved in strike-slip faulting and the Vendian-Cambrian superimposed basin underwent deformation. Finally, it may be concluded that the Early Ordovician was an epoch of collision, complex in kinematics, between heterogeneous blocks of the continental crust: the Baikalides of the Baikal-Muya Belt and polycyclic Barguzin-Vitim Superterrane.     

Quartz-albite-microcline metasomatic rocks in the Main Sayan Fault Zone: Evolution of metasomatism and composition of accessory minerals

Quartz-albite-microcline metasomatic rocks (qualmites) localized in the Main Sayan Fault Zone at the boundary of Irkutsk oblast and Buryatia (Eastern Sayan, middle reaches of the Kitoi River) were formed after dynamometamorphic biotite and biotite-amphibole granite gneisses. The zone of alkaline metasomatism up to 250–300 m thick extends for about 12 km along the Main Sayan Fault. Riebeckite-aegirine and hornblende-clinopyroxene qualmites were formed during the early alkaline stage of metasomatism. Biotite-magnetite qualmites, which are occasionally superimposed on riebeckite-aegirine rocks, are products of the following stage of increasing acidity. The ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age of amphibole from metasomatic rocks is 321 ± 5 Ma. The metasomatic rocks are enriched by 2–4 times in Zr, Nb, Y, REE, Be, Th, and U relative to unaltered granite gneisses and contain rare-metal mineralization (fergusonite-(Y), betafite, Nb- and Y- bearing titanites, gadolinite-(Y), zircon, thorite, allanite-(Ce), chevkinite-(Ce), etc.). The composition of accessory minerals was studied on a LEO-1430VP SEM. Their composition and mineral assemblages show that meta-somatic alteration and Ti-Nb-Zr-REE mineralization were formed synchronously. The stage of acid solution neutralization was characterized by crystallization of epidote and andradite and by replacement of chevkinite with allanite and titanite in metasomatic rocks. Hydro- and fluorcarbonates of LREE, phosphates (monazite-(Ce)), and fluorides (F-bearing thorianite?) were formed during the final low-temperature stage.     

Geochemistry of lepidolitic granitoids from the Mungutiyn Tsagaan Durulj occurrence (central Mongolia)

We studied the geologic position, geodynamic setting, petrology, and geochemistry of veined lepidolitic granitoids from the Mungutiyn Tsagaan Durulj (MTD) occurrence (central Mongolia), found within the area of Mesozoic intraplate rare-metal magmatism. It has been established that their trace-element enrichment resulted from the intense effect of fluids rich in F, K, Li, Rb, Cs, Sn, Be, and W, which arrived from a deep magma chamber of rare-metal granitic melts, on leucogranites with originally weak rare-metal mineralization. Very high contents of F, rare alkali metals, Sn, Be, and W, characteristic of MTD granitoids, are close only to those in greisens of rare-metal granites and topaz-lepidolite-albitic pegmatites. The difference from the greisens in each case might be due to the features of the original rocks. The difference between the greisenized MTD leucogranites and the topaz-lepidolite-albitic pegmatites is more radical: Along with evident petrographic distinctions, it includes an evolution trend toward the albite norm decrease, not typical of Li–F igneous rocks; rock shearing and gneissosity, which must have contributed to their chemical transformation according to this trend; and stably lower contents of Nb and Ta (trace elements which usually accumulate during crystallization fractionation of F–Li granitic melts and are poorly soluble in magmatic fluids). The greisenized MTD granitoids are not only high-grade rare-metal ores of Li, Rb, F, and Sn but are also regarded as an indicator of a deep concealed pluton of rare-metal granites.     

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。     

北大别山千鹅冲隐伏钼铅锌矿床成矿地质作用及成矿模式

千鹅冲钼铅锌矿床位于东秦岭—大别山钼多金属成矿带,矿体主要赋存于隐伏花岗岩体外接触带的地层中。在整理前人资料和勘查成果的基础上,通过分析千鹅冲钼铅锌矿床的成矿地质作用、成矿岩体化学特征、控矿因素及围岩性质,建立了矿床成矿模式。分析认为：大别山区格子状构造不仅控制着造山带的分布,也对钼矿床的形成和分布起到了决定性作用;成矿地质体高硅、高钾、富碱的地球化学特征有利于钼的成矿;成矿地质体亏损Ba、Nb、Ta、Y和Yb,富集Rb、Th和K等大离子亲石元素,Sr与Y含量低反映岩浆源区的分馏明显;斑岩型钼矿围岩的物理性质对钼矿体沉淀成矿的具体位置有制约作用。初步认为千鹅冲钼铅锌矿床的成矿模式为下元古界大别高压麻粒岩在下地壳重熔形成岩浆岩,在中生代中国东部的构造体制转换下,冷凝的岩浆受热重新活化运移上侵,在压力和温度降低、pH值变化等多种沉淀机制作用下,成矿流体在围岩的节理、裂隙中迁移、沉淀成矿,铅锌矿化多分布在钼矿体外侧。     

Geology and geochronology of the Xilamulun molybdenum metallogenic belt in eastern Inner Mongolia,China

The Xilamulun molybdenum metallogenic belt, located in eastern Inner Mongolia, China, has great economic potential as a major producer of molybdenum. Four major types of Mo deposits have been recognized in the Xilamulun molybdenum metallogenic belt: porphyry, quartz vein, volcanic-hosted, and greisen. These Mesozoic Mo deposits are closely related to Si- and K-rich intrusives and are usually hosted by granite plutons or located at the endo- or exo-contact zones of the granite porphyry. SHRIMP zircon U–Pb dating gives the emplacement ages of the intrusions related to Mo mineralization as 245.1 ± 4.4, 152.4 ± 1.6, and 139.1 ± 2.3 Ma. Re–Os analysis of five molybdenite samples from the Chehugou porphyry Mo deposit yields an isochron age of 245 ± 5 Ma (2σ), indicating that the mineralization age of the porphyry Mo deposit is about 245 Ma. Re–Os analyses of six molybdenite samples from the Nianzigou quartz-vein-type Mo deposit yield an isochron age of 154.3 ± 3.6 Ma (2σ), constraining the mineralization age of the quartz-vein Mo deposit to 154 Ma. Our results suggest that the Mo mineralization in the Xilamulun belt formed during at least three stages, i.e., the Triassic, Late Jurassic, and Early Cretaceous, and is coeval with the granitic magmatism. The corresponding geodynamic background covers the syncollision between the North China and Siberian plates during the Early to Middle Triassic, a compression setting related to the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate during the Jurassic and lithospheric thinning during the Early Cretaceous in eastern China.
