Distribution of orogenic gold deposits in relation to fault zones and gravity gradients: targeting tools applied to the Eastern Goldfields, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia

A quantitative spatial analysis of mineral deposit distributions in relation to their proximity to a variety of structural elements is used to define parameters that can influence metal endowment, deposit location and the resource potential of a region. Using orogenic gold deposits as an example, geostatistical techniques are applied in a geographic-information-systems-based regional-scale analysis in the high-data-density Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. Metal endowment (gold production and gold ‘rank’ per square kilometer) is measured in incremental buffer regions created in relation to vector lines, such as faults. The greatest metal tonnages are related to intersections of major faults with regional anticlines and to fault jogs, particularly those of dilatant geometry. Using fault length in parameter search, there is a strong association between crustal-scale shear zones/faults and deposits. Nonetheless, it is the small-scale faults that are marginal or peripheral to the larger-scale features that are more prospective. Gravity gradients (depicted as multiscale edges or gravity ‘worms’) show a clear association to faults that host gold deposits. Long wavelength/long strikelength edges, interpreted as dominantly fault-related, have greater metal endowment and provide a first-order area selection filter for exploration, particularly in areas of poor exposure. Statistical analysis of fault, fold and gravity gradient patterns mainly affirms empirical exploration criteria for orogenic gold deposits, such as associations with crustal-scale faults, anticlinal hinge zones, dilational jogs, elevated fault roughness, strong rheological contrasts and medium metamorphic grade rocks. The presence and concurrence of these parameters determine the metallogenic endowment of a given fault system and segments within the system. By quantifying such parameters, the search area for exploration can be significantly reduced by an order of magnitude, while increasing the chance of discovery.     

Influence of structural setting on sulphur isotopes in Archean orogenic gold deposits,Eastern Goldfields Province,Yilgarn, Western Australia

The published mean δ³⁴S values of ore-related pyrites from orogenic gold deposits of the Eastern Goldfields Province, Yilgarn Craton lie between −4‰ and +4‰. As for orogenic gold deposits worldwide, most deposits have positive means and a restricted range of δ³⁴S values, but some have negative means and wider ranges of δ³⁴S values. Wall-rock carbonation and back-mixing of similar-source fluids with different fluid pathways can explain some of the more negative δ³⁴S signatures. However, structural setting appears to be the most important factor controlling ore-fluid oxidation state and hence the distribution of δ³⁴S values in gold-related pyrites. Shear-hosted deposits appear to have experienced fluid-dominated processes such as phase separation, whereas stockwork, vein-hosted or disseminated deposits formed under conditions of greater rock buffering. At Victory-Defiance, in particular, negative δ³⁴S values are more common in gently dipping dilational structures, compared to more compressional steeply dipping structures. It appears most likely that fluid-pressure fluctuations during fault-valve cycles establish different fluid-flow regimes in structures with different orientations. Rapid fluid-pressure fluctuations in dilational structures during seismic activity can cause partitioning of reduced gas phases from the ore fluid during extreme phase separation and hence are an effective method of ore-fluid oxidation, leading to large, local fluctuations in oxidation state. It is thus not necessary to invoke mixing with oxidised magmatic fluids to explain δ³⁴S signatures indicative of oxidation. In any case, available, robust geochronology in the Eastern Goldfields Province does not support the direct involvement of oxidised magmatic fluids from adjacent granitic intrusions in orogenic gold genesis. Thus, negative mean δ³⁴S values and large variations in δ³⁴S values of ore-related pyrites in world-class orogenic gold deposits are interpreted to result from multiple mechanisms of gold precipitation from a single, ubiquitous ore fluid in varying structural settings, rather than from the involvement of oxidised ore fluids from a different source. Such signatures are indicative, but not diagnostic, of anomalously large orogenic gold systems.

Paleozoic orogenic gold deposits in the eastern Central Andes and its foreland,South America

In the eastern Central Andes and its foreland (6°–34°S), abundant quartz veins emplaced along brittle–ductile deformation zones in Ordovician to Carboniferous granites and gneisses and in saddle-reefs in lower Paleozoic turbidites represent a coherent group of middle to late Paleozoic structurally hosted gold deposits that are part of three major Au (±Sb±W) metallogenic belts. These belts, extending from northern Peru to central Argentina along the Eastern Andean Cordillera and further south in the Sierras Pampeanas, include historical districts and mines such as Pataz–Parcoy, Ananea, Santo Domingo, Yani–Aucapata, Amayapampa, Sierra de la Rinconada and Sierras de Córdoba. On the basis of the available isotopic ages, two broad mineralization epochs have been identified, with Devonian ages in the Sierras Pampeanas Au belt (26° to 33°30′S), and Carboniferous ages for the Pataz–Marañón Valley Au-belt in northern Peru (6°50′ to 8°50′S). The absolute timing of the southeastern Peruvian, Bolivian and northwestern Argentinian turbidite-hosted lodes, which form the Au–Sb belt of the southern Eastern Andean Cordillera (12° to 26°S), is poorly constrained. Field relationships suggest overlap of gold veining with Carboniferous deformation events. The northernmost belt, which includes the Pataz province, is over 160-km-long and consists of sulfide-rich quartz veins hosted by brittle–ductile shear zones that have affected Carboniferous granitic intrusions. Gold mineralization, at least in the Pataz province, occurred a few million years after the emplacement of the 329 Ma host pluton and an episode of molassic basin formation, during a period of rapid uplift of the host units. The two southern belts are associated with syn- to post-collisional settings, resulting from the accretion of terranes on the proto-Andean margin of South America. The Au–Sb belt of the southern Eastern Andean Cordillera presumably formed in the final stages of the collision of the Arequipa–Antofalla terrane and the Sierras Pampeanas Au belt is considered concurrent with the late transpressional tectonics associated with the accretion of the Chilenia terrane.The three Devono–Carboniferous Andean belts are the South American segments of the trans-global orogenic gold provinces that were formed from Late Ordovician to Middle Permian in accretionary or collisional belts that circumscribed the Gondwana craton and the paleo-Tethys continental masses. A paleogeographic map of the Gondwana supercontinent in its Middle Cambrian configuration appears as a powerful tool for predicting the location of the majority of the Paleozoic orogenic gold provinces in the world, as they develop within mobile belts along its border. The three South American belts are sited in the metallogenic continuation of the Paleozoic terranes that host the giant eastern Australian goldfields, such as Bendigo–Ballarat and Charters Towers, with which they share many features. When compared to deposits in the French Massif Central, direct counterparts of the Andean deposits such as Pataz and Ananea–Yani are respectively the Saint Yrieix district and the Salsigne deposit. Considering the ubiquity of the Au (±Sb±W) vein-type deposits in the Eastern Cordillera and Sierras Pampeanas, and the relatively little attention devoted to them, the Devonian and Carboniferous orogenic gold deposits in the eastern section of the Central Andes constitute an attractive target for mineral exploration.     

柴北缘—东昆仑地区造山型金矿床的三级控矿构造系统

不同等级体制的构造分别控制了柴北缘—东昆仑地区造山型金矿的区域、矿化集中区以及矿床和矿体的分布和产出。在一个次级大地构造单元或成矿带内,造山型金矿大多产于构造边界和/或深大断裂旁侧(即造山带构造边界和/或深大断裂是柴北缘—东昆仑地区造山型金矿的第一级控制构造)。发育在上述深断裂旁侧的大型剪切带,控制了矿化集中区或矿田范围内金化探异常和造山型金矿床的分布和产出,是柴北缘—东昆仑地区造山型金矿的第二级控制构造。上述大型剪切带派生的褶皱和断裂系统,是造山型金矿床的第三级控矿构造,它们控制了矿体的分布和产出,滩间山、大场金矿床是褶皱控矿的良好例证,而五龙沟金矿床则是与剪切带伴生的断裂-裂隙系统控矿的典型实例。相比之下,受控于褶皱的金矿床中矿体规模较大、空间上变化较小。上述造山带构造边界和/或深大断裂、大型剪切带和大型剪切带派生的褶皱和断裂系统主要是区域加里东和晚华力西—印支碰撞造山作用的产物,它们具有大致相同或互相联系的几何学、运动学和年代学特征,后者通常是前者的派生、低序次构造。因此,这3个不同级别的构造,构成了柴北缘—东昆仑地区造山型金矿床的控矿构造系统。

Structural and mechanical controls on intrusion-related deposits of the Tombstone Gold Belt,Yukon, Canada,with comparisons to other vein-hosted ore-deposit types

Intrusion-related gold deposits at the Clear Creek, Scheelite Dome and Dublin Gulch properties of the Tombstone Gold Belt (TGB), Yukon Territory have dominantly E-striking, steeply dipping, auriferous quartz extension veins within intrusions. In adjacent metasedimentary rocks gold is hosted in subvertical NW- to NNW-striking sinistral faults as veins and breccias, in E-striking extension veins and locally in E- to ENE-striking fault veins. These structural relationships indicate low magnitude, broadly E–W-directed shortening and N–S extension during stock emplacement and gold mineralisation at ∼92 Ma.The lack of any deviation or deflection of the extension vein orientations in the country rocks, with respect to their orientation within the stocks, indicates consistent stress trajectories in both rock types. These TGB deposits formed at 5–8 km depth, where mean and differential stresses may be greater in magnitude than in shallower porphyry environments. Many porphyry systems feature magmatic-related stresses that dominated the local stress field, with more variable vein orientations the result. Conversely, orogenic gold systems usually exhibit strong dimensionality in vein orientations. Fault-hosted mineralisation in metasedimentary rocks of the TGB deposits in this study is comparable in geometry, but generally smaller in size than in many orogenic gold systems. Intrusion-related systems of the TGB exhibit intermediate structural styles of mineralisation that provide a useful bridge in understanding the diversity of mechanically controlled structural styles in otherwise mostly unrelated gold deposit types.     

Syenite-associated disseminated gold deposits in the Abitibi greenstone belt, Canada

A distinct group of gold deposits in the Abitibi greenstone belt is spatially associated with quartz-monzonite to syenite stocks and dikes. The deposits occur mainly along major fault zones, in association with preserved slivers of alluvial-fluvial, Timiskaming-type, sedimentary rocks. The deposits consist of disseminated sulfide replacement zones with variably developed stockworks of quartz-carbonate-K-feldspar veinlets, within zones of carbonate, albite, K-feldspar, and sericite alteration. The syenitic intrusions are broadly contemporaneous with deposition of Timiskaming sedimentary rocks and, together with disseminated gold mineralization, they have been overprinted by subsequent regional folding and related penetrative cleavage. Disseminated gold orebodies occur within composite syenitic stocks or along their margins, along satellite dikes and sills, and along faults and lithologic contacts away from intrusions. Orebodies in these different positions are interpreted to represent proximal to distal components of large magmatic-hydrothermal systems centered on, and possibly genetically related to, composite syenitic stocks.     

Ancient deep roots for Mesozoic world-class gold deposits in the north China craton:An integrated genetic perspective

The North China Craton(NCC)hosts some of the world-class gold deposits that formed more than 2 billion years after the major orogenic cycles and cratonization.The diverse models for the genesis of these deposits remain equivocal,and mostly focused on the craton margin examples,although synchronous deposits formed in the interior domains.Here we adopt an integrated geological and geophysical perspective to evaluate the possible factors that contributed to the formation of the major gold deposits in the NCC.In the Archean tectonic framework of the NCC,the locations of the major gold deposits fall within or adjacent to greenstone belts or the margins of micro-continents.In the Paleoproterozoic framework,they are markedly aligned along two major collisional sutures-the Trans North China Orogen and the Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt.Since the Mesozoic intrusions hosting these deposits do not carry adequate signals for the source of gold,we explore the deep roots based on available geophysical data.We show that the gold deposits are preferentially distributed above zones of uplifted MOHO and shallow LAB corresponding to thinned crust and eroded sub-lithospheric mantle,and that the mineralization is located above regions of high heat flow representing mantle upwelling.The NCC was at the center of a multi-convergent regime during the Mesozoic which intensely churned the mantle and significantly en riched it.The geophysical data on Moho and LAB upwarp from the centre towards east of the craton is more consistent with paleo-Pacific slab subduction from the east exerting the dominant control on lithospheric thinning.Based on these results,and together with an evaluation of the geochemical and isotopic features of the Mesozoic magmatic intrusions hosting the gold mineralization,we propose a genetic model that invokes reworking of ancient Au archives preserved in the lower crust and metasomatised upper mantle and which were generated through multiple subduction,underplating and cumulation events associated with cratonization of the NCC as well as the subduction-collision of Yangtze Craton with the NCC.The heat and material input along zones of heterogeneously thinned lithosphere from a rising turbulent mantle triggered by Mesozoic convergent margins surrounding the craton aided in reworking the deep roots of the ancient Au reservoirs,leading to the major gold metallogeny along craton margins as well as in the interior of the NCC.     

Paleozoic granitoid magmatism of the eastern part of the Central Asian Fold Belt and formation of large ore deposits

Evidence on the Paleozoic granitoids of the eastern part of the Central Asian Fold Belt (CAFB) was analyzed. A tectonic chart of orogenic belts was compiled. Sketch maps were constructed for the geodynamic settings of the formation of Paleozoic granitoids and the extensiveness of their occurrence. Two types of deep controlling structures were distinguished: zones of lithospheric faults and plumes, including the newly recognized Jiamusi-Bureya plume. It was sown that the distribution of large and superlarge Paleozoic ore deposits is related to these structures, primarily to plumes. Sites promising for large and superlarge deposits related to the Paleozoic granitoid magmatism were determined in the Russian Far East.

中国东部中生代浅成热液金矿的类型、特征及其地球动力学背景

中国东部中生代浅成热液金矿可以划分为与花岗岩和与碱性岩有关的两种类型；也可以分为高硫型和低硫型两大类，而且以后一种为主。这些金矿的形成和分布受区域构造制约，具体地说是受破火山口、火山角砾岩筒以及与火山机构有关的断裂控制。成矿围岩为火山岩类及同源花岗质岩石和周围地层。主要的蚀变组合为冰长石一玉髓一绢云母或明矾石一高岭石一石英(玉髓)。成矿年龄分布在180～188Ma，135～144Ma，127～115Ma和94～105Ma四个区间，前三组年龄分别响应于中生代华北板块与扬子克拉通的造山碰撞后陆内造山的伸展过程、构造体制大转折以及岩石圈大减薄，后一组为华南地区岩石圈再一次强烈伸展期间的产物。虽然这些矿床的形成时间有差异，但都是发育于大陆伸展环境中。

中国金矿床的时空分布不均一,金矿主要产于稳定陆块边缘或稳定陆块内的活动带,形成了金的矿集区,成矿时代主要以中生代为主,其次为晚古生代及新生代,而早古生代和前寒武纪金矿床则处于相对次要地.从地质构造演化的角度探讨金矿形成的大地构造背景,认为金矿的形成及分布受控于壳幔相互作用及岩石圈不连续。     

中国内生稀有稀土矿床的时空分布

内生稀有稀土矿床在我国广泛分布，矿床的形成时代从太古宙到喜马拉雅期。矿床类型主要有碱性岩型、花岗岩型及花岗伟晶岩型三大类型。碱性岩型矿床的形成时代从元古宙到喜马拉雅期，主要集中在中元古代及华力西－印支期。这类矿床多分布在地台稳定区的边缘，常沿深断裂或裂谷带延展方向呈群分布。花岗岩型矿床绝大多数形成于燕山期，主要见于南岭及其邻区。成矿花岗岩常是花岗岩复式岩体的晚期侵入体，沿大岩体周边或隐伏岩体上方作定向分布。花岗伟晶岩型矿床主要形成于华力西－印支期，大多数分布在地槽褶皱带内。褶皱带内的复背斜及更次一级背斜的轴部及倾没端常是矿化伟晶岩的赋存场所。以攀西裂谷带内的牦牛坪、茨达等碱性岩型矿床，赣南加里东褶皱带内的西华山、荡坪等花岗岩型矿床，闽西北加里东褶皱带内的溪源头、西坑等花岗伟晶岩型矿床为例具体地描述了三类矿床在空间上的定向分布。西部地区是找寻大型内生稀有稀土矿床极有潜力的地区。     

基底构造对矿床定位的控制机制:焦家金矿带构造应力转移模拟

大型-超大型金矿床具有群聚产出的空间分布规律,这种空间产出规律与断裂带的渗透性结构有关。通过应力转移模拟,计算库伦破裂应力(CFS)的变化值,获取断裂带渗透性结构可以为成矿流体通量及其中金属沉淀成矿概率提供半定量约束。胶西北焦家金矿田是我国第一个千吨级金矿田,其内金矿化严格受NE-NNE向的焦家断裂带构造控制,而其深部隐伏的近EW向基底构造带对成矿的贡献尚不明确。为此,我们根据地球物理资料解译的基底构造带空间形态,通过三维有限元模拟计算基底构造带对理想模型和焦家断裂带内库伦破裂应力变化的影响,探讨基底构造对矿床定位的控制机理。研究表明,EW向基底构造带对区域库伦破裂应力的变化有明显影响,模拟结果图像可视作该深度上NE-NNE向浅表断层和EW向基底构造带分别引起的库伦破裂应力变化之和。成矿深度上某一点因基底构造带活动引起的库伦破裂应力变化的值与基底构造带埋深与成矿深度间距的平方呈反比。当基底构造带和浅表断层运动方向指向同一象限时,基底构造带和浅表断层交汇部位的库伦破裂应力变化值相对减小;而基底构造带和浅表断层运动方向指向不同一象限时,基底构造带和浅表断层交汇部位的库伦破裂应力变化值相对增大。焦家金矿带内基底构造带在成矿期发生右行为主的走滑活动,滑动侧伏角不大于30°,滑动位移量略大于浅表的焦家断裂带。基底构造带在成矿期的再活动导致在其与浅表断裂交汇部位形成构造节点(如新城、焦家),引起该处断层破裂的传播受到阻滞,库伦破裂应力增大,而岩石破碎,有利于高渗透性的裂隙-网脉系统的发育和大型-超大型金矿床的产出;在远离焦家主断裂带的前孙家、洼孙家等部位,浅表断裂引起的库伦破裂应力变化不明显,而基底构造带引起的库伦破裂应力变化占主导,发育高渗透性裂隙-网脉系统的发育和中-小型金矿床(点)的产出。基底构造带的空间展布及其埋深与成矿深度的间距可作为评估区域成矿潜力的重要因素,EW向基底构造带与NE-NNE向浅表断层的交汇部位是重点靶区,且基底构造埋深与成矿深度的间距越小则发育金矿床的概率和规模越大。     

The genesis of the slab window-related Arzular low-sulfidation epithermal gold mineralization （eastern Pontides, NE Turkey）

The Arzular mineralization is one of the best examples of epithermal gold deposits in the eastern Pontides orogenic belt.The mineralization is hosted by the subduction-related basaltic andesites and is mainly controlled by E-W and NE-SW trending fracture zones.The main ore minerals are galena, sphalerite,pyrite.chalcopyrite.tetrahedrite and gold.Homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions are between 130 and 295℃ for quartz and between 90 and 133℃ for sphalerite.Sulphur isotope values obtained from pyrite,galena and sphalerite vary between 1.2‰ and 3‰.indicating that sulphur belongs to magmatic origin and was derived from the Lutetian non-adakitic granitic intrusions in the region.Oxygen isotope values are between 15.0‰ and 16.7‰ and hydrogen isotope values are between -87‰ and -91‰ The sulphur isotope thermometer yielded temperatures in the range of 244-291℃ for the ore formation.Our results support the hypothesis that the Arzular mineralization is a low-sulfidation epithermal gold deposit associated with non-adakitic subduction- related granitic magmas that were generated by slab window-related processes in a south-dipping subduction zone during the Lutetian.     

青藏高原碰撞造山背景造山型金矿床:构造背景、地质及地球化学特征

青藏高原碰撞造山背景下形成了雅鲁藏布江缝合带及哀牢山造山带两条造山型金矿带。雅鲁藏布江缝合带包含马攸木、念扎、邦布及折木朗金矿等;该矿带形成于拉萨地块及特提斯喜马拉雅地层序列地壳初始缩短加厚的背景(59~44Ma),与林子宗火山岩和高压变质岩同期形成。控矿构造主要以EW向展布。金以自然金形式赋存在石英硫化物脉及石英脉两侧以绿片岩相变质为主的千枚岩及板岩中。哀牢山造山带包含镇沅、金厂、大坪及长安金矿等,主要形成于35~26Ma,成矿背景为区域发生大规模走滑剪切,矿区内分布有成矿前期的煌斑岩及富碱斑岩。控矿构造主要以NW-SE向展布,围岩变质级低于雅鲁藏布江缝合带。C-S-H-O-Pb同位素变化较大,整体雅鲁藏布江缝合带及哀牢山造山带造山型金矿成矿流体主要来源于深部地幔流体、围岩地层的变质流体及岩浆流体,成矿围岩的差异性也会导致同位素的变化性。
