Geochemistry of Pyrite from the Gangcha Gold Deposit, West Qinling Orogen, China: Implications for Ore Genesis

The Gangcha gold deposit was discovered in 2011 in the Xiahe-Hezuo region, West Qinling Orogen, China. Five types of pyrite have been identified in the ore according to the detailed mineral paragenetic studies. Geochemical data are presented for type I pyrite (py1) rim-core zonation and for the different types of pyrite based on in-situ laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The results show that pyrites are characterized with heterogeneous Au concentrations, which indicate that Au occurs mainly as micro- or nano-particle native inclusions. Time-resolved depth profiles demonstrate that As, Co and Ni occur as solid solutions in pyrite, whereas Cu, Pb, Zn and Ag occur mainly as inclusions. Trace element concentrations differ between rims and cores in py1, and the differences also exist within different pyrite types. These differences indicate complex chemical evolution of the ore-forming fluids, and the overall geology, geochronology, and stable isotope and pyrite data suggest that the ore-forming fluids were closely linked to magmatic activity during the Triassic Period in West Qinling orogenic belt.     

Geology,Pb Isotope Geochemistry and Ore Genesis of the Liziyuan Gold Deposit,West Qinling Orogen,Central China

The Liziyuan gold deposit, situated on the south side of the Shangdan suture zone, West Qinling Orogen, occurs in metamorphic volcanic rocks(greenschist facies) of the early Paleozoic Liziyuan Group and in Indosinian Tianzishan monzogranite. Orebodies in the Liziyuan gold field are controlled by the ductile-brittle shear zone, and by thrusting nappe faults related to the Indosinian orogeny. In detail, this paper analyzed the geological characteristics of the Liziyuan gold field, and the Pb isotopes of the Lziyuan host rocks, granitoids(Tianzishan monzogranite and Jiancaowan syenite porphyry), sulfides, and auriferous quartz veins by multiple-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(MC-ICPMS). In addition, previous data on the sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen isotopes were employed to discuss the possible sources of the ore-forming fluids and materials, and to further understand the tectonic setting of the Liziyuan gold deposit. The sulfides and their host rocks(Lziyuan Group), Tianzishan monzogranite and Jiancaowan syenite porphyry, and auriferous quartz veins have similar Pb isotopic compositions.Zartman's plumbotectonic model diagram shows that most of the data for the deposit fall near the orogenic Pb evolutionary curve or within the area between the orogenic and mantle Pb evolutionary curves. In the△β-△γ diagram, which genetically classifies the lead isotopes, most of the data fall within the range of the subduction-zone lead mixed with upper crust and mantle. This indicates that a complex source of the ore lead formed in the orogenic environment. The δ~(34)S values of the sulfides range from 3.90 to 8.50‰(average6.80‰), with a pronounced mode at 5.00‰-8.00‰. These values are consistent with that of orogenic gold deposits worldwide, indicating that the sulfur sourced mainly from reduced metamorphic fluids. The isotopic hydrogen and oxygen compositions support a predominantly metamorphic origin of the oreforming fluids, with possible mixing of minor magmatic fluids, but the late stage was dominated by meteoric water. The characteristics of the Liziyuan gold deposit formed in the Indosinian orogenic environment of the Qinling Orogen are consistent with those of orogenic gold deposits found worldwide.     

西秦岭大水金矿床方解石Sm-Nd等时线年龄及其地质意义

大水金矿床位于西秦岭造山带南缘,矿床中金矿化与硅化、去碳酸盐化和方解石化密切相关。硅化主要表现为石英或玉髓交代(白云质)灰岩,在石英中常见灰岩或白云质灰岩的交代残余碎屑,在石英颗粒内或裂隙中见有自然金颗粒,说明硅化、去碳酸盐化和金矿化是同步的;成矿期的脉状-网脉状载金方解石主要分布于硅化-去碳酸盐化蚀变带的边缘或附近裂隙中,说明方解石的结晶与金矿化同步或稍晚。对该矿床成矿期的8件载金方解石样品进行了Sm-Nd同位素定年体系研究,方解石的147Sm/144Nd值变化于0.069 489~2.243 873,143Nd/144Nd值变化于0.511 673~0.514 369,获得Sm-Nd等时线年龄为(189.4±1.4)Ma,代表了大水金矿床的成矿年龄。大水金矿床的成矿时限与秦岭造山运动相关的碰撞型花岗闪长岩岩浆活动时限一致;此外,前人的稀土元素地球化学、黄铁矿Co/Ni比值及H-O同位素研究亦表明成矿物质来源与花岗闪长岩岩浆活动关系密切,因而本次获得的大水金矿床成矿年龄,在一定程度上为"大水金矿床的金成矿与花岗闪长岩岩浆活动存在成因联系"提供了年代学证据。

西秦岭甘南早子沟金锑矿床白云石Sm-Nd同位素地球化学及其意义

西秦岭造山带广泛发育脉状金锑矿化,但其成矿时代和成矿物质来源仍存在争议,影响了对该区矿床成因的深入认识。甘南早子沟超大型金锑矿床位于西秦岭造山带,矿体赋存于三叠系古浪堤组板岩和中酸性侵入岩内,包括蚀变岩型矿化和脉状矿化两种样式,是研究脉状金锑矿化成矿年代学和成矿物质来源的理想选区。本研究选择早子沟金锑矿床脉状矿化中与辉锑矿、金密切共生的白云石为研究对象,系统分析了其Sm、Nd同位素组成。结果表明,早子沟金锑矿床脉状矿化白云石Sm含量为0. 3221×10~(-6)～4. 918×10~(-6),Nd含量为0. 5667×10~(-6)～22. 76×10~(-6)。147Sm/144Nd和143Nd/144Nd分别为0. 1306～0. 2891和0. 511847～0. 512141,Sm-Nd假等时线年龄为282. 5±5. 1Ma。白云石εNd(0)为-15. 42～-9. 70,εNd(t)为-13. 66～-12. 19,tDM2为2. 03～2. 10Ga,变化范围相对较窄,表明样品源区相同。εNd(t)值与秦岭及其周边地区对比显示,早子沟金锑矿床成矿流体与英安斑岩围岩具有相同的Nd源区,可能来源于扬子板块北缘或南秦岭的古元古代结晶基底。白云石Sm/Nd分馏很弱且成矿流体混染了古元古代结晶基底物质可能是Sm-Nd假等时线产生的原因。这表明白云石Sm-Nd同位素体系可能无法为西秦岭广泛发育的脉状(金)锑矿床提供正确年代学信息。

西秦岭大店沟金矿成矿流体演化及矿床成因

大店沟金矿是西秦岭成矿带近年来新发现的中型金矿床,金矿体赋存在下古生界丹凤群木其滩组绢云绿泥石英片岩中,叠加在北东东向脆韧性剪切带中的脆性构造为成矿结构面。在总结控矿地质特征的基础上,通过开展系统的流体包裹体、稳定同位素地球化学研究及成矿流体演化、矿床成因探讨,认为成矿期共分半自形黄铁矿、它形粒状黄铁矿、石英多金属硫化物和碳酸盐-黄铁矿4个成矿阶段,其中它形黄铁矿阶段和石英多金属硫化物阶段为最主要成矿阶段。流体包裹体类型以水溶液包裹体、CO₂三相包裹体和纯CO₂包裹体为主,成矿温度集中在120~256 ℃之间,成矿流体盐度为4.03%~15.27%。H-O同位素研究显示成矿热液主要为变质水混合大气降水,S同位素组成特征表明成矿物质来自深源;流体不混溶和沸腾作用是金沉淀的主要机制,矿床成因类型为造山型金矿。通过成矿结构面舒缓波状特征规律总结,判断成矿流体沿成矿结构面自南西深部向北东浅部运移、沉淀,形成分段富集矿化。     

江南造山带西段淘金冲金矿床地质特征及成矿作用

淘金冲金矿床是江南造山带内重要的大型金矿床之一,赋存于新元古界板溪群浅变质岩系内。矿体受断裂构造控制,金矿体在垂向上具有分段富集的特点,矿石类型由浅部石英脉型变化为中深部石英脉+蚀变岩型。矿体随深度增加品位变高、厚度变大,深部找矿潜力较大。微量元素分析结果表明,在石英脉及构造破碎带附近,金含量远高于围岩,说明构造对该区Au等成矿元素的运移富集有明显控制作用。Re-Os同位素特征指示成矿物质来源于地壳,很可能来自地层。稀土元素分析结果表明,沉凝灰岩、碎裂岩、辉绿岩、金矿石的稀土元素配分模式基本一致,暗示成矿物质可能来源于地层和岩浆岩。δ34S值集中于-1‰～2‰,表明硫来源于岩浆。综合地质特征、稀土元素及同位素特征,认为成矿物质来源于岩浆对地层的萃取。结合前人研究成果,淘金冲金矿床可能形成于加里东运动构造隆升阶段,在岩浆热液与区域构造活动联合作用下,区内浅变质岩系中成矿物质被萃取,形成含矿流体,在有利构造部位形成金矿体。     

西秦岭甘肃夏河—合作地区与中酸性侵入岩有关的金铜多金属成矿系统及找矿预测

甘肃夏河—合作地区岩浆岩与矿产分布具有分带性：夏河-合作断裂以北侵入岩规模较大,以岩基、岩株为主,发育Cu、Au、W、Mo、Pb、Zn等以中高温元素为主的矿化,受岩体边缘接触带及断裂双重控制;夏河-合作断裂以南侵入岩规模较小,多以小岩株、脉岩出现,发育Au、Hg、Sb等中低温矿化,受断裂破碎带控制。地球化学组成显示,该区侵入岩具有镁闪长岩、TTG岩套的双重特点,为"热壳"+"热幔"的壳幔结构,成矿条件极为有利。硫、氢、氧稳定同位素特征指示,成矿物质主要来自地幔岩浆析出的热液,后期有大气降水的参与。夏河—合作地区为与中酸性侵入岩有关的金铜等多金属矿成矿系统,在夏河-合作断裂以南,剥蚀较浅,可寻找远成低温热液型金、锑矿等,在其深部还应注意寻找斑岩型或矽卡岩型铜金矿床。而在剥蚀程度较高的北带,应以斑岩型和矽卡岩型矿床为主。     

河南祁雨沟金矿同位素地球化学和矿床成因分析

祁雨沟金矿位于华北克拉通南缘的熊耳地体,是典型的爆破角砾岩型金矿。本文全面总结并深入分析了祁雨沟金矿的同位素地球化学研究资料,以氢-氧-碳同位素体系确定成矿流体由岩浆热液向大气降水热液演化,以碳-硫-铅同位素体系厘定成矿物质主要来自岩浆流体系统,以铅、碳同位素确定熊耳地体南侧的中-新元古代地层是不可缺少的成岩成矿物质来源之一。因此认为：在中生代华北与扬子板块碰撞造山过程中,熊耳地体南侧的陆壳板片沿马超营断裂俯冲到熊耳地体之下,通过变质脱水-熔融作用派生了祁雨沟岩浆-流体成矿系统,其成因可由碰撞造山成岩成矿与流体作用模式（即CMF模式）解释。     

黔西南普安泥堡大型金矿床黄铁矿与毒砂标型特征及金的赋存状态

通过系统的显微镜鉴定及扫描电镜观察,将黔西南普安泥堡金矿床中的黄铁矿按形貌特征划分为6种类型,即立方体状、草莓状、细粒状、粗粒状、环带状及长条状黄铁矿。黄铁矿电子探针分析结果表明,主要载金矿物为含砷黄铁矿(环带状黄铁矿、细粒状黄铁矿)和毒砂。环带状黄铁矿核部和环带形成于不同的成岩、成矿阶段,其核部贫Au、As,富Fe、S,属成岩期的产物;环带富Au、As,贫Fe、S,形成于主成矿期。黄铁矿环带中Au与As具有正对应关系,在一定的楔形空间呈正相关,高Au含量往往与中等As含量(2%~6%)相对应;而As与S呈明显负相关,说明富砷环带是As取代S而进入黄铁矿晶格所致。细粒状黄铁矿具有高Au、As,低Fe、S的特点,类似于环带状黄铁矿环带部位的特征,推测富As环带与细粒状黄铁矿同属主成矿阶段的产物。毒砂常穿插或沿含砷黄铁矿边缘分布,表明其形成晚于热液期含砷黄铁矿。因此,泥堡金矿床中载金矿物的结晶顺序大致为:贫砷沉积成因黄铁矿(核部)→富砷黄铁矿环带和细粒状黄铁矿→毒砂。电子探针点分析和面波普扫描显示,Au在载金矿物含砷黄铁矿和毒砂中具有不均匀分布的特征,根据Au的溶解度极限(Au/As 0.02)和lgw(As)—lgw(Au)图解,推测Au主要以"不可见"固溶体(Au~(+1))形式赋存于含砷黄铁矿和毒砂中,极少量可能为纳米级自然金(Au~0)。

Xiba Granitic Pluton in the Qinling Orogenic Belt,Central China: Its Petrogenesis and Tectonic Implications

Xiba granitic pluton is located in South Qinling tectonic domain of the Qinling orogenic belt and consists mainly of granodiorite and monzogranite with significant number of microgranular quartz dioritic enclaves. SHRIMP zircon U–Pb isotopic dating reveals that the quartz dioritic enclaves formed at 214±3 Ma, which is similar to the age of their host monzogranite (218±1 Ma). The granitoids belong to high-K calc-alkaline series, and are characterized by enriched LILEs relative to HFSEs with negative Nb, Ta and Ti anomalies, and right-declined REE patterns with (La/Yb)N ratios ranging from 15.83 to 26.47 and δEu values from 0.78 to 1.22 (mean= 0.97). Most of these samples from Xiba granitic pluton exhibit εNd(t) values of ?8.79 to ?5.38, depleted mantle Nd model ages (TDM) between 1.1 Ga and 1.7 Ga, and initial Sr isotopic ratios (87Sr/86Sr)i from 0.7061 to 0.7082, indicating a possible Meso- to Paleoproterozoic lower crust source region, with exception of samples XB01-2-1 and XB10-1 displaying higher (87Sr/86Sr)i values of 0.779 and 0.735, respectively, which suggests a contamination of the upper crustal materials. Quartz dioritic enclaves are interpreted as the result of rapid crystallization fractionation during the parent magmatic emplacement, as evidenced by similar age, texture, geochemical, and Sr-Nd isotopic features with their host rocks. Characteristics of the petrological and geochemical data reveal that the parent magma of Xiba granitoids was produced by a magma mingling process. The upwelling asthenosphere caused a high heat flow and the mafic magma was underplated into the bottom of the lower continent crust, which caused the partial melting of the lower continent crustal materials. This geodynamic process generated the mixing parent magma between mafic magma from depleted mantle and felsic magma derived from the lower continent crust. Integrated petrogenesis and tectonic discrimination with regional tectonic evolution of the Qinling orogen, it is suggested that the granitoids are most likely products in a post-collision tectonic setting.
