贵州天桥铅锌矿床REE地球化学特征

稀土元素是示踪成矿流体来源的有效手段之一。利用电感耦合等离子体质谱（ICP—MS）对贵州天桥铅锌矿床成矿期方解石REE含量进行了分析。结合前人发表的峨眉山玄武岩、辉绿岩、矿石、硫化物、蚀变围岩、地层碳酸盐岩及地层中黄铁矿的REE数据,探讨了天桥铅锌矿床REE地球化学特征及其对成矿流体来源的指示意义。     

黔西北赫章天桥铅锌矿床成矿物质来源:S、Pb同位素和REE制约

赫章县天桥铅锌矿床位于扬子准地台西南缘的黔西北铅锌成矿区中部,是本区已发现的96处中、小型矿(床)点的典型代表。天桥铅锌矿床由三个矿体群组成,其金属资源量(Pb+Zn)超过0.2Mt。本文报道了该矿床矿石硫化物的硫和铅同位素组成及其稀土元素组成特征。矿石硫化物δ34SV-CDT值主要集中在8.4‰～14.4‰之间,总体具有δ34Spyδ34Sspδ34Sga特征,表明成矿流体中硫已达到平衡。该矿床成矿流体中δ34S∑S值与不同时代地层中海相硫酸盐δ34S值(15‰)相近,表明成矿流体中硫来源于不同时代地层,为不同时代地层海相硫酸盐热化学还原(TSR)的产物。铅同位素组成相当均一,n(208Pb)/n(204Pb)值为38.875～39.057(平均38.945),n(207Pb)/n(204Pb)值为15.708～15.763(平均15.728),n(206Pb)/n(204Pb)值范围为18.481～18.544(平均18.516),与碳酸盐地层相近,在n(208Pb)/n(204Pb)—n(206Pb)/n(204Pb)和n(207Pb)/n(204Pb)—n(206Pb)/n(204Pb)图,落入碳酸盐地层范围内,表明铅来源于与矿物铅同位素组成相近的各时代碳酸盐地层。硫化物样品具有低ΣREE(3×10-6)和负的Eu异常(0.13～0.88)特征。在稀土元素球粒陨石标准化配分模式图上,全部样品具有相似特征,且与地层中的黄铁矿(下石炭统大塘组C1d)、地层白云岩及蚀变围岩相比,具有一致的稀土配分模式和Eu负异常特征,表明成矿流体来源围岩及下伏碳酸盐地层。综合S、Pb同位素和REE地球化学特征认为该矿床成矿物质和成矿流体具有多来源特征,各时代地层均不同程度地为成矿提供物质和流体。     

湘西黔东地区铅锌矿床C、O同位素地球化学特征及其对成矿过程的指示

近年来湘西黔东地区铅锌矿产勘查成果显著,已发现矿床(点)200余处,铅锌矿主要产于寒武系—奥陶系碳酸盐岩地层中。通过对该地区典型铅锌矿床碳酸盐围岩和成矿期方解石的C、O同位素组成分析,结果表明:碳酸盐围岩的δ13CPDB值(-1.16‰~1.70‰,均值0.51‰)和δ18OSMOW值(18.56‰~22.42‰,均值21.04‰)变化范围较小,组成相对均一,在δ13CPDB-δ18OSMOW图上投影点位于海相碳酸盐岩区;而成矿期方解石的δ13CPDB值(-5.80‰~0.42‰,均值-1.18‰)比围岩略低,δ18OSMOW值(12.96‰~23.05‰,均值18.36‰)有明显的下降,在δ13CPDB-δ18OSMOW图上投影点主要位于上地幔区和海相碳酸盐岩之间。根据C、O同位素组成特征并结合前人研究成果,认为成矿流体中的C主要来源于碳酸盐围岩,S来源于地层中的膏盐层,Pb、Zn主要来源于下寒武统牛蹄塘组地层,成矿流体是一种高盐度的低温热卤水,它与碳酸盐围岩的水-岩反应和降温的耦合作用是该地区成矿期方解石和矿石矿物沉淀的主要机制。     

云南会泽超大型铅锌矿床C、O同位素地球化学

云南会泽超大型铅锌矿床规模大、品位富、伴生有用元素多,预示其成矿环境较为特殊。本文分析该矿床矿石中脉石矿物方解石和赋矿碳酸盐地层的C、O同位素组成,结果表明矿石中脉石矿物方解石的C、O同位素组成相对均一,不同矿体(不同标高)、不同产状以及相同矿体不同产状方解石的C、O同位素组成不具明显差别,其δ13CPDB值和δ18OSMOW值分别为-2.1‰～-3.5‰(均值-2.8‰)和16.7‰～18.6‰(均值17.7‰),在δ13CPDB-δ18OSMOW图上集中于岩浆碳酸岩与海相碳酸盐岩之间的狭小范围内。多方面的证据表明:矿床成矿流体为壳-幔混合流体,其中壳源组分可能主要由矿区(或区域)碳酸盐地层提供,而幔源组分则可能与区域大面积峨眉山玄武岩岩浆活动过程中的去气作用有关。     

滇东北茂租铅锌矿床热液方解石稀土元素地球化学特征

滇东北茂租铅锌矿床赋存于震旦系灯影组白云岩中,矿体呈似层状、脉状和不规则状,矿石主要由黄铁矿、闪锌矿、方铅矿、方解石和白云石等组成。方解石是该矿床中最为主要的脉石矿物,其形成贯穿整个成矿过程。本文选择与硫化物紧密共生的团斑状方解石为研究对象,借助等离子体质谱仪(ICP-MS),获得了5件热液方解石的稀土元素含量数据。结果显示,全部样品的总稀土元素含量较低(ΣREE=19.56×10-6⁶2.55×10-6),轻、重稀土元素间分异较明显[ΣLREE/ΣHREE=1.3062.55×10-6),轻、重稀土元素间分异较明显[ΣLREE/ΣHREE=1.30¹0.83,(La/Yb)N=2.8310.83,(La/Yb)N=2.83³1.40]。全部样品的(La/Sm)N(0.9231.40]。全部样品的(La/Sm)N(0.92⁶.30)和(Gd/Yb)N(3.086.30)和(Gd/Yb)N(3.08⁵.24)值表明轻稀土和重稀土元素内部分异不显著,δEu=1.875.24)值表明轻稀土和重稀土元素内部分异不显著,δEu=1.87⁴.27,呈明显的Eu正异常特征,而δCe=0.834.27,呈明显的Eu正异常特征,而δCe=0.83¹.18,显示Ce异常特征不明显。茂租铅锌矿床中热液方解石稀土元素含量、配分模式及相关参数与赋矿围岩灯影组白云岩不同,与区域上不同时代地层沉积岩及二叠纪峨眉山玄武岩也不同,但与会泽超大型铅锌矿床中的团斑和脉状热液方解石相似,暗示茂租铅锌矿床成矿流体中的REE来源与可能会泽矿床相似。结合同标本的C-O同位素组成和Sm-Nd同位素年龄,认为茂租铅锌矿床形成于晚三叠纪(196±13 Ma),其成矿流体中的不同组分具有不同的来源,可能与川滇黔铅锌矿床属于同构造热事件的产物,与VMS、SEDEX和MVT型不同,暂归为川滇黔型。     

云南会泽铅锌矿床脉石矿物方解石REE地球化学

方解石是云南会泽铅锌矿床最重要的脉石矿物，原生矿石中三种产状（即团块状状、团斑状和脉状）方解石的REE含量、有关参数和配分模式都有一定的差异，但不同产状方解石之间以及同种产状方解石的REE地球化学特征具有连续变化规律。分析结果表明：矿区原生矿石中三种产状方解石为同源不同阶段形成的产物；矿床成矿流体具有多来源特征，地幔流体在成矿流体形成过程中具有重要作用；成矿流体在演化过程REE含量逐渐降低；成矿环境由相对还原向相对氧化变化。     

湖北徐家山锑矿床方解石C、O、Sr同位素地球化学

湖北通山的徐家山锑矿床产在上震旦统陡山沱组和灯影组的海相碳酸盐岩中.对该矿床中成矿前和成矿期方解石进行了较系统的C、O、Sr同位素地球化学研究,结果表明,成矿前方解石具相对较高的δ13CPDB(-0.7‰～ 2.0‰)、δ18OSMOW( 18.6‰～ 19.6‰)和Sr含量(2645-8174 μg/g,平均5656μg/g),及较低的87Sr/86Sr比值(0.7096～0.7097);而成矿期方解石具相对较低的δ13CPDB(-3.9‰～-2.1‰)、δ18OSMOW( 11.5‰～ 15.3‰)、Sr含量(785～2563μg/g,平均1571μg/g),和较高的87Sr/86Sr比值(O.7109～0.7154,平均0.7141).分析认为,成矿前方解石的C、O和绝大部分Sr来源于赋矿围岩--震旦系海相碳酸盐岩;而成矿流体为富H2CO3的溶液,它来自或流经富放射成因87Sr的下伏基底碎屑岩--中元古界冷家溪群浅变质岩;该流体与围岩发生水.岩反应导致成矿期方解石和辉锑矿的沉淀.     

滇西勐兴铅锌矿床热液方解石碳氧同位素、稀土元素特征及其指示意义

勐兴铅锌矿床是滇西保山地块内系列低温热液矿床中的典型代表,但地质科研工作相对薄弱。由于方解石是该矿床中分布广泛且与热液活动息息相关的重要脉石矿物,其形成贯穿整个成矿过程,故对其C-O同位素及稀土元素组成特征进行系统研究,以便探讨矿床成矿流体来源及演化。结果显示,该矿床两阶段方解石的δ~(13)C_(PDB)和δ~(18)O_(SMOW)值与海相碳酸盐岩较为接近,且从阶段Ⅰ→阶段Ⅱ呈微弱下降趋势,表明成矿流体中的C主要来源于围岩碳酸盐岩的溶解,阶段Ⅱ成矿流体在与围岩反应之前可能已经发生CO2热液去气作用;阶段Ⅰ方解石的稀土总量、特征参数及配分模式与结晶灰岩较为一致,而阶段Ⅱ方解石与生物碎屑灰岩较为相似,表明阶段Ⅰ方解石中的REE主要来源于结晶灰岩,而后生物碎屑灰岩对阶段Ⅱ方解石中的稀土贡献较大。以上数据及其矿床地质特征均显示该矿床为MVT型铅锌矿床,结合区域构造演化,认为勐兴矿床的形成与中特提斯洋闭合后腾冲地块与保山地块陆陆碰撞挤压密切相关。     

康家湾铅锌矿床方解石的稀土元素和碳-氧同位素地球化学特征

湖南康家湾铅锌矿床是水口山铅锌矿田的重要组成部分,是一个发现较晚、埋深较深的隐伏矿床。作者对该矿2种不同产状的方解石进行了稀土元素和碳-氧同位素研究。研究表明,该矿与黄铁矿、铅锌矿共生的团块状方解石的稀土元素含量较低(4.11×10~(-6)~38.09×10~(-6)),并表现出LREE富集型的配分模式。胶结方铅矿和闪锌矿的脉状方解石,其稀土元素含量更低(1.52×10~(-6)~5.57×10~(-6)),大体表现出MREE富集型的配分模式,轻稀土略微亏损。2类方解石野外产状不同,稀土元素含量差别明显,REE配分模式也不同,暗示其成矿流体性质不同,流体来源也可能不同。这2类方解石的C、O同位素组成亦存在明显差别,脉状方解石的δ~(13)C低于块状方解石,但其δ~(18)O明显大于后者。理论模拟结果表明,该矿方解石的形成是流体沸腾CO_2去气和温度降低造成的,此外大气降水的加入也起到一定的作用。团块状方解石成矿流体的可溶性碳以HCO-3为主,其δ~(13)C、δ~(18)O值分别为-4‰和5‰,是混入了45%左右大气降水的岩浆热液。脉状方解石的成矿流体是来源不同的岩浆热液且混入约10%的大气降水,其可溶性碳以H_2CO_3为主,δ~(13)C、δ~(18)O值分别为-6‰和5‰。

REE and C-O Isotopic Geochemistry of Calcites from the World-class Huize Pb-Zn Deposits, Yunnan, China: Implications for the Ore Genesis

<正>The world-class Huize Pb-Zn deposits of Yunnan province,in southwestern China,located in the center of the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou Pb-Zn polymetallic metallogenic province,has Pb+Zn reserves of more than 5 million tons at Pb+Zn grade of higher than 25%and contains abundant associated metals,such as Ag,Ge,Cd,and Ga.The deposits are hosted in the Lower Carboniferous carbonate strata and the Permian Emeishan basalts which distributed in the northern and southwestern parts of the orefield.Calcite is the only gangue mineral in the primary ores of the deposits and can be classified into three types,namely lumpy,patch and vein calcites in accordance with their occurrence.There is not intercalated contact between calcite and ore minerals and among the three types of calcite,indicating that they are the same ore-forming age with different stages and its forming sequence is from lumpy to patch to vein calcites. This paper presents the rare earth element(REE) and C-O isotopic compositions of calcites in the Huize Pb-Zn deposits.From lumpy to patch to vein calcites,REE contents decrease as LREE/ HREE ratios increase.The chondrite-normalized REE patterns of the three types of calcites are characterized by LREE-rich shaped,in which the lumpy calcite shows(La)_N(Ce)_N(Pr)_N≈(Nd)_N with Eu/Eu~*1,the patch calcite has(La)_N(Ce)_N(Pr)_N≈(Nd)_N with Eu/Eu~*1,and the vein calcite displays(La)_N(Ce)_N(Pr)_N(Nd)_N with Eu/Eu~*1.The REE geochemistry of the three types of calcite is different from those of the strata of various age and Permian Emeishan basalt exposed in the orefield.Theδ~(13) C_(PDb) andδ~(18)O_(Smow) values of the three types of calcites vary from-3.5‰to-2.1‰and 16.7‰to 18.6‰,respectively,falling within a small field between primary mantle and marine carbonate in theδ~(13)C_(PDb) vsδ~(18)O_(Smow) diagram. Various lines of evidence demonstrate that the three types of calcites in the deposits are produced from the same source with different stages.The ore-forming fluids of the deposits resulted from crustal -mantle mixing processes,in which the mantle-derived fluid components might be formed from degassing of mantle or/and magmatism of the Permian Emeishan basalts,and the crustal fluid was mainly provided by carbonate strata in the orefield.The ore-forming fluids in the deposits were homogenized before mineralization,and the ore-forming environment varied from relatively reducing to oxidizing.     

贵州天桥铅锌矿床分散元素赋存状态及规律

利用电子探针(EPMA)、电感耦合等离子质谱(ICP-MS)等分析了天桥铅锌矿床矿石矿物中分散元素的含量、赋存状态及规律,结果表明分散元素在该矿床中含量达到了综合利用评价指标,有的甚至达到了工业品位(如Cd等);这些分散元素可能以类质同象的形式赋存在硫化物矿物中,其规律为Ga、Cd、In等赋存在闪锌矿中,Ge、Tl等赋存在方铅矿中,黄铁矿中分散元素富集低;在不同颜色闪锌矿中,Ga、Cd富集规律表现为浅色闪锌矿>中色闪锌矿>黑色闪锌矿,而Ge、Tl、In、Se富集表现出中色闪锌矿相对高于浅色及黑色闪锌矿;同标本中,不同颜色闪锌矿的Ge、In富集规律在还显示浅色闪锌矿>中色闪锌矿>黑色闪锌矿,而Ga、Tl、Cd、Se富集规律呈现中色闪锌矿相对高于浅色及黑色闪锌矿.Ga/In、Zn/Cd等参数指示出矿床成因类型可能为热液-沉积-改造.     

黔西北天桥铅锌矿床锗地球化学研究

天桥铅锌矿床是川一滇一黔铅锌多金属成矿域黔西北铅锌成矿区内很具代表性的中型矿床,赋矿岩石为石炭系碳酸盐岩,矿床严格受构造控制。本次工作利用ICP—MS分析了该矿床主要矿石矿物（黄铁矿、闪锌矿和方铅矿）中锗的含量,初步查明了该区锗的分布规律,探讨了锗在方铅矿和闪锌矿中的富集机制。结果表明：原生矿体中Ge在方铅矿中的含量和富集系数均明显大于闪锌矿,显示本区Ge在方铅矿中的富集特征;Ge在演化晚期的成矿流体中相对富集,流体中的Ge以“2M（I）＋M（Ⅱ）＋M（Ⅲ）=4Zn（Ⅱ）”形式进入方铅矿．Ge在方铅矿中不是以类质同象形式替代Pb、而是替代其中的Zn。     

滇东北矿集区茂租铅锌矿床地球化学特征

茂租铅锌矿床位于扬子地台西南缘,是滇东北矿集区内的一个大型矿床,矿体主要呈似层状产于震旦系灯影组白云岩中;矿石矿物以闪锌矿为主,次为方铅矿;脉石矿物主要为白云石、方解石和萤石。本文对该矿床中与铅锌矿密切共生的团块状白云石、方解石和萤石以及围岩灯影组白云岩的REE地球化学特征和C、O、Sr同位素进行了对比研究。结果表明:团块状白云石和方解石的稀土配分模式、C同位素和Sr同位素比值与围岩灯影组白云岩比较接近,表明形成团块状白云石和方解石的成矿流体主要来源于围岩灯影组白云岩的溶解;但这两种矿物的稀土总量ΣREE高于灯影组白云岩,说明成矿流体除了主要由围岩提供REE外,还有部分其他富含REE流体的加入。萤石则具有LREE亏损和分配曲线相对平缓的稀土配分模式特征,表明萤石形成于成矿的晚阶段,有更多的外部流体的加入。团块状白云石、方解石和萤石表现出明显的Eu正异常,且团块状白云石和方解石的O同位素低于灯影组白云岩,反映了存在较高温度的流体活动,这3种脉石矿物是由高温热液流体形成的。灯影组白云岩和3种脉石矿物都具有明显的Ce负异常,说明成矿流体可能主要来源于地层循环水,继承了围岩的Ce负异常特征。方解石和萤石的Sr同位素比值高于围岩震旦系灯影组白云岩和峨眉山玄武岩,但小于基底岩石昆阳群和会理群,说明成矿流体主要由赋矿围岩等沉积地层中的循环流体与流经了基底岩石的深部流体混合形成。     

Trace Elements and Rare Earth Elements of Sulfide Minerals in the Tianqiao Pb-Zn Ore Deposit, Guizhou Province, China

Trace elements and rare earth elements (REE) of the sulfide minerals were determined by inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The results indicate that V, Cu, Sn, Ga, Cd, In, and Se are concentrated in sphalerite, Sb, As, Ge, and Tl are concentrated in galena, and almost all trace elements in pyrite are low. The Ga and Cd contents in the light-yellow sphalerites are higher than that in the brown and the black sphalerites. The contents of Ge, Tl, In, and Se in brown sphalerites are higher than that in light-yellow sphalerites and black sphalerites. It shows that REE concentrations are higher in pyrite than in sphalerite, and galena. In sphalerites, the REE concentration decreases from light-yellow sphalerites, brown sphalerites, to black sphalerites. The ratios of Ga/In are more than 10, and Co/Ni are less than 1 in the studied sphalerites and pyrites, respectively, indicating that the genesis of the Tianqiao Pb–Zn ore deposit might belong to sedimentary-reformed genesis associated with hydrothermal genesis. The relationship between LnGa and LnIn in sphalerite, and between LnBi and LnSb in galena, indicates that the Tianqiao Pb–Zn ore deposit might belong to sedimentary-reformed genesis. Based on the chondrite-normalized REE patterns, δEu is a negative anomaly (0.13–0.88), and δCe does not show obvious anomaly (0.88–1.31); all the samples have low total REE concentrations (<3 ppm) and a wide range of light rare earth element/high rare earth element ratios (1.12–12.35). These results indicate that the ore-forming fluids occur under a reducing environment. Comparison REE compositions and parameters of sphalerites, galenas, pyrites, ores, altered dolostone rocks, strata carbonates, and the pyrite from Lower Carboniferous Datang Formation showed that the ore-forming fluids might come from polycomponent systems, that is, different chronostratigraphic units could make an important contribution to the ore-forming fluids. Combined with the tectonic setting and previous isotopic geochemistry evidence, we conclude that the ore-deposit genesis is hydrothermal, sedimentary reformed, with multisources characteristics of ore-forming fluids.     

Geology and Isotope Geochemistry of the Yinchanggou-Qiluogou Pb-Zn Deposit, Sichuan Province, Southwest China

The Yinchanggou-Qiluogou Pb-Zn deposit,located in the western Yangtze Block,southwest China,is hosted by the Upper Sinian Dengying Formation dolostone.Ore bodies occur in the Qiluogou anticline and the NS-and NNW-trending faults.Sulfide ores mainly consist of sphalerite,pyrite,galena and calcite,with subordinate dolomite and quartz.Seventeen ore bodies have been discovered to date and they have a combined 1.0 million tons of sulfide ores with average grades of 2.27wt%Zn and 6.89wt%Pb.The δD_(H2O-SMOW) and δ~(18)O_(H2O-SMOW) values of fluid inclusions in quartz and calcite samples range from-68.9‰ to-48.7‰ and 7.3‰ to 15.9‰,respectively,suggesting that H_2O in the hydrothermal fluids sourced from metamorphic water.Calcite samples have δ~(13)C_(PDB) values ranging from-6.2‰ to-4.1‰ and δ~(18)O_(SMOW) values ranging from 15.1‰ to 17.4‰,indicating C and O in the hydrothermal fluids likely derived from a mixed source of metamorphic fluids and the host carbonates.The δ~(34)S_(CDT) values of sulfide minerals range from 5.5‰ to 20.3‰,suggesting that thermal chemical reduction of sulfate minerals in evaporates were the most probable source of S in the hydrothermal fluids.The ~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb,~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb and ~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb ratios of sulfide minerals fall in the range of 18.11 to 18.40,15.66 to 15.76 and 38.25 to 38.88,respectively.The Pb isotopic data of the studied deposit plot near the upper crust Pb evolution curve and overlap with the age-corrected Proterozoic basement rocks and the Upper Sinian Dengying Formation hosting dolostone.This indicates that the Pb originated from a mixed source of the basement metamorphic rocks and the ore-hosting carbonate rocks.The ore geology and C-H-O-S-Pb isotopic data suggest that the YinchanggouQiluogou deposit is an unusual carbonate-hosted,strata-bound and epigenetic deposit that derived ore-forming materials from a mixed source of the underlying Porterozoic basements and the Sinian hosting carbonates.     

Strontium isotopic geochemistry of Tianqiao Pb-Zn deposit,Southwest China

Tianqiao carbonate-hosted Pb-Zn deposit, controlled by NW-trending F37 thrust fault and NW-trending Tianqiao anticline, is located in the eastern part of Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou （SYG） Pb-Zn metallogenic province, southwestern Yangtze Block, southwest China. Ore bodies in this deposit are hosted in the Devonian-Carboniferous carbonate rocks, and ore minerals include sphalerite, galena and pyrite, while the gangue minerals are dominated by calcite and dolomite. Using high-precision solid thermal ionization mass spectrometry （TIMS）, this paper reports the strontium isotopic compositions （0.7119 to 0.7167） of sulfide samples from the Tianqiao deposit in order to trace the origin of hydrothermal fluids. Compared with the country rocks, the calculated 87Sr/86Sr200 Ma values of sulfide range from 0.7118 to 0.7130, higher than those of the age-corrected Devonian to Permian sedimentary rocks （0.7073 to 0.7101） and the Middle Permian Emeishan flood basalts （0.7078 to 0.7039）, but lower than those of the age-corrected Proterozoic basement rocks （such as the Kunyang and Huili Groups, 87Sr/86Sr200 Ma=0.7243 to 0.7288）. This implies a mixed strontium source between the older basement rocks and the younger cover sequences. Together with geologic and previous isotopic evidences, we considered that the fluids＇ mixing is a possible mechanism for sulfide precipitation in the Tianqiao deposit.     

REE, Mn, Fe, Mg and C, O Isotopic Geochemistry of Calcites from Furong Tin Deposit, South China: Evidence for the Genesis of the Hydrothermal Ore-forming Fluids

The Furong tin deposit in the central Nanling region, South China, consists of three main types of mineralization ores, i.e. skarn-, altered granite- and greisen-type ores, hosted in Carboniferous and Permian strata and Mesozoic granitic intrusions. Calcite is the dominant gangue mineral intergrown with ore bodies in the orefield. We have carried out REE, Mn, Fe, and Mg geochemical and C, and O isotopic studies on calcites to constrain the source and evolution of the ore-forming fluids. The calcites from the Furong deposit exhibit middle negative Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu*= 0.311–0.921), except for one which has an Eu/Eu* of 1.10, with the total REE content of 5.49–133 ppm. The results show that the calcites are characterized by two types of REE distribution patterns: a LREE-enriched pattern and a flat REE pattern. The LREE-enriched pattern of calcites accompanying greisen-type ore and skarn-type ore are similar to those of Qitianling granite. The REE, Mn, Fe, and Mg abundances of calcites exhibit a decreasing tendency from granite rock mass to wall rock, i.e. these abundances of calcites associated with altered granite-type and greisen-type ores are higher than those associated with skarn-type ores. The calcites from primary ores in the Furong deposit show large variation in carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions. The δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O of calcites are −0.4 to −12.7‰ and 2.8 to 16.4‰, respectively, and mainly fall within the range between mantle or magmatic carbon and marine carbonate. The calcites from greisen and altered granite ores in the Furong deposit display a negative correlation in the diagram of δ¹³C versus δ¹⁸O, probably owing to the CO₂-degassing of the ore-forming fluids. From the intrusion to wall-rock, the calcites display an increasing tendency with respect to δ¹³C values. This implies that the carbon isotopic compositions of the ore-bearing fluids have progressively changed from domination by magmatic carbon to sedimentary carbonate carbon. In combination with other geological and geochemical data, we suggest that the ore-forming fluids represent magmatic origin. We believe that the fluids exsolved from fractionation of the granitic magma, accompanying magmatism of the Qitianling granite complex, were involved in the mineralization of the Furong tin polymetallic deposit.     

Sulfur isotopic composition of the Tianqiao Pb-Zn ore deposit,Northwest Guizhou Province,China：Implications for the source of sulfur in the ore-forming fluids

The Tianqiao Pb-Zn ore deposit of Guizhou Province, China, is located in the mid-east of the Si-chuan-Yunnan-Guizhou Pb-Zn-Ag multi-metallic mineralization area, which is representative of the Pb-Zn ore de-posits in this area. It consists of three main orebodies, whose Pb+Zn reserves are more than 0.2 million ton. This paper analyzes the sulfur isotopic composition of these orebodies. The data show that the ore minerals (galena, sphalerite, pyrite) in these orebodies are enriched in heavy sulfur, with δ34SV-CDT values varying between 8.35‰ and 14.44‰, i.e. the δ34SV-CDT values of pyrite are between 12.81‰ and 14.44‰, the mean value is 13.40‰; the δ34SV-CDT values of sphalerite are range from 10.87‰ to 14.00‰, the mean value is 12.53‰; the δ34SV-CDT values of galena are range from 8.35‰ to 9.83‰, the mean value is 8.84‰, and they have the feature of δ34Spyrite>δ34Ssphalerite>δ34Sgalena, which indicates the sulfur isotope in ore-forming fluids has attained equilibrium. The δ34S V-CDT values of the deposit are close to those of sulfates from carbonate strata of different ages in the ore-field (15‰), which suggests that the sulfur in the ore-forming fluids should be derived from the thermo-chemical sulfate reduction of sulfates from the sedimentary strata.
