Mineral Types of Gold Deposits and Regularities of Their Localization in Southeastern East Sayan

The gold-bearing deposits of southeastern East Sayan have been categorized according to mineral composition. The most important classification criterion is the composition of productive ore mineral assemblages specific to each of the distinguished types, whereas the use of other criteria results in the inevitable overlap of different structural, compositional, or genetic features of deposits. Eight mineral types of deposits have been determined, which characterize the main gold-bearing mineral ore parageneses: gold-polysulfide, gold-quartz, gold-telluride, gold-tetradymite, gold-antimony, gold-bismuth-sulfosalt, gold-pyrrhotite, and gold-fahlore. The regional metallogenic units are structural-metallogenic zones somewhat differing by the nature of mineralization. Thus, in the Bokson-Gargan metallogenic zone, the gold-quartz, gold-polysulfide, and gold-pyrrhotite types of deposits prevail, while in the western part of the zone, the gold-telluride and gold-bismuth-sulfosalt types are widespread. In the Ilchir zone, gold-fahlore deposits are developed, while in the Khamsarinskaya zone, gold-tetradymite and gold-stibnite. It has been established that the mineral types of deposits depend on the composition of the host rock complexes: gold-quartz, gold-polysulfide, and gold-pyrrhotite types form in association with ophiolites and Archean basement rocks. At granitoid-massif-related deposits, base-metal minerals assume the leading role: Bi sulfosalts, stibnite, tetradymite, and tellurides. The gold-fahlore type forms in carbonate sequences. The proposed classification makes it possible to group all of the known gold-bearing deposits of southeastern East Sayan; it can also be applied to adjacent regions.

     

The First Precise Data on the Age of Charoite Mineralization (Eastern Siberia,Russia)

Charoite is a unique mineral and a rock of the same name. It is known from the only deposit in the world at the contact with Early Cretaceous syenite and other alkaline rocks of the Malyi Murun massif. The data on ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of tinaksite, tokkoite, and frankamenite associated with charoite are reported in this paper. All these minerals, except for frankamenite, have shown clear plateau ages overlapping with each other within the analytical errors. The weighted mean of the plateau ages of tinaksite, tokkoite, and microcline is 135.86 ± 0.26 Ma. Considering that these minerals are syngenetic to charoite, this age is the time of charoite crystallization. Frankamenite with an older age (137.55 ± 0.46 Ma) may reflect the polychronous crystallization of the charoite association.

基于金矿规格单元数据的机器学习方法在成矿建模分析中的应用

现代金矿勘察主要是通过综合地球化学和地质测量等数字化方法对深部矿床进行研究,所需要的人力物力成本较高。而通过分析积累的金矿规格单元数据,可以建立金矿成矿情况与相关成矿元素含量之间的非线性关系,从已有的勘查数据中寻找金矿成矿的一般规律。本文基于与金矿相关的成矿元素含量数据,分别采用逻辑斯蒂回归、随机森林和决策树方法对原始数据和重采样数据进行训练,综合运用召回率、精确率和准确率对模型进行评价。通过对比发现,在训练和测试原始数据过程中,由于每组之间数据量的巨大差距,导致成矿数据被淹没;而在训练重采样数据过程中,随机森林在召回率和准确率方面均有较好的表现,分别达到了90.63%和70.78%;并最终分析了随机森林模型中不同分类边界对于金矿成矿情况预测结果的影响。利用不同的测量指标对模型进行评价分析,使模型更适用于金矿成矿预测,可有效地提高金矿勘察的效率。     

Study on Mineralization Age of Xiaoban Gold Deposit, Fujian Province

The Xiaoban gold deposit is a large-size deposit recently found in middle area of Fujian Province. It belongs to magmatic hydrothermal type occurred in Mayuan Group metamorphic rocks of Middle Proterozoic and is controlled by low angle fault (detachment) structures. The contents of Au in Mayuan Group metamorphic rocks, Caledonian-Indosinian deformed granite and early Yanshanian granite are higher with Au enrichment coefficient of 2.06-5.68, 5.11 and 6.67 than those in other geological bodies. And the higher enrichment coefficients (>2) of Ag, S, Sn and Te are similar to those of gold ore. Meanwhile, the distribution of Au in Mayuan Group metamorphic rocks and early Yanshanian granite with a low D-value (0.58 and 0.67) is favorable to gold mineralization. REE characteristics of gold ore, ratios of (LREE/HREE), (La/Sm)n, (Yb/Lu)n, (La/Tb)n and (Sm/Nd)n are similar to Mayuan Group metamorphic rocks, only non or little normal Eu abnormal of ore is dissimilar to metamorphic rocks. The δ(34S) of the gold ore, with a high homogenization, is (-4.7×10-3)-(-2.7×10-3). The study of inclusion indicates 180-249 ℃ of mineralization temperature, 3.69 %-11.81 % of salinities and 0.869-0.991 g/cm3 of densities of mineralization fluid. Based on hydrogen and oxygen isotope (δ(18O)=11.0×10-3-11.7×10-3, δ(D)=(-48×10-3)-(-62×10-3)) and initial w(87Sr)/w(86Sr) =0.715,combining to the analysis of geological history, regional metamorphism and magamtic activity, the authors confirm that the source for the ore fluid was mainly from magmatic, partly from metamorphic water, and with a little influence of meteoric water. Isotopic dating made on Rb-Sr isochron age of 182 Ma, by using alteration minerals of gold-ores from the deposit, indicates that the mineralization occurs in early Yanshanian epoch. This is close to the age of 187 Ma of the Anchun magmatite with a similar alteration and gold mineralization to the Xiaoban gold deposit. The age of early Yanshanian epoch of the Xiaoban gold is indentical with the characteristics of southern China gold metallogenic belt and the geotectonic evolution of the transition from paleo-Asian system and paleo-Tethyan system to paleo-Pacific active continental margin in eastern Asia.     

New Ore Minerals from the Kingash Ultramafic Massif,Northwestern Eastern Sayan

The paper discusses earlier poorly studied mineralized rocks of the Kingash ultramafic complex in the Kan Block of the Eastern Sayan, including the large Cu–Ni–PGE deposit of the same name. Despite many researchers' increased interest in the Kingash massif, a number of questions related to the petrology, formation mechanism, and localization of Cu–Ni–PGE ore remain controversial. Along with already known ore minerals, we have identified and described a number of new mineral species: argentite, Fe-enriched sperrylite, a bismuth variety of merenskyite, gersdorffite, cobaltite, and thorianite. The ore minerals are distinguished by a higher relative amount of Fe, and this makes the Kingash deposits close to other Paleoproterozoic Cu–Ni deposits, e.g., the Jinchuan in China, Pechenga in Russia, Ungava in Canada, Mt. Scholl in Australia, etc.     

Zun-Ospa Gold Deposit,Eastern Sayan: Geology,Ore Composition,and Genesis

The paper discusses the geology of Zun-Ospa gold deposit, which is situated near the Ospino ophiolitic nappe in the southeastern part of the Eastern Sayan, and the ore composition therein. The deposit is related to the tectonic mélange zone and is characterized by distinct structural control. Three consecutive mineral assemblages formed within a temperature range of 380°–170°C: (i) native gold–quartz–pyrite, (ii) gold–quartz–polysulfide, and (iii) silver–sulfosalt. The ore was deposited from low-concentration (5.2–14.2 wt % NaCl equiv.) solutions without CO₂, with the predominance of Mg and Fe chlorides and an admixture of Na and K chlorides. The major ore minerals are pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite; identified subordinate minerals are pyrrhotite, pentlandite, heazlewoodite, fahlore (tennantite, freibergite), Ni and Ag sulfosalts (ullmannite, miargyrite, polybasite, stephanite), Ag sulfides (mckinstryite, argentite); Au minerals are represented by electrum, kuestelite, and native gold of medium to low fineness. The geological, mineralogical, geochemical, and isotopic characteristics of ore indicate a metamorphic–hydrothermal genesis of mineralization related to the formation of a mélange zone in the duplex strike-slip structure. The sources of ore components are host rock complexes that have been subjected to tectonic deformations, among which rocks of an ophiolitic association predominate, along with fragments of initial hydrothermal–sedimentary ore, granitic, terrigenous, and carbonate rocks. The Late Paleozoic (352 Ma) age of mineralization corresponds to the stage of postcollision shear deformations within the entire Central Asian Foldbelt.     

Paleomagnetic Constraints on Mineralization Age of the Nansatsu-type Gold Deposits in Southern Kyushu, Japan

Abstract: Two mineralization stages, stage I and stage II, have been identified from textural, mineralogical and crosscutting relationships in gold ore from the Nansatsu-type gold deposits of Kasuga, Iwato and Akeshi. Mineralization age of each stage in each deposit was determined with paleomagnetic methods on 432 specimens from 312 oriented samples. As results, mineralization ages of stage I of each deposit fall in the same period, the reversed polarity subchron of 4.18–3.58 Ma, and those of stage II are limited in the normal and reversed polarity subchrons of 3.58–3.22 Ma. Contrasting with previous results based only on K-Ar ages, our conclusion shows that these Nansatsu-type gold deposits were formed contemporaneously.

鄂东南地区鄂城岩体的时代、成因及其对成矿作用的指示

鄂城岩体位于鄂东南地区的最北部,是鄂东南地区的六大岩体之一.在该岩体的南缘接触带上产出了长江中下游地区最大的矽卡岩型铁矿床——程潮铁矿床.众多研究表明,程潮铁矿化与鄂城杂岩体的岩浆演化密切相关,然而目前对于成矿作用究竟是与花岗质岩还是闪长质岩有关仍存在争议.通过对鄂城杂岩体开展系统的锆石U-Pb年代学、元素地球化学和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素研究,结果表明该岩体主要由花岗岩、石英二长岩、花岗斑岩以及小面积的闪长岩组成,最早侵位于140±1 Ma（中粒闪长岩）,之后依次侵位形成了细粒闪长岩（132±2 Ma）、花岗斑岩（130±2 Ma）、花岗岩（中细粒花岗岩129±2 Ma,中粒花岗岩129±1 Ma）和石英二长岩（129±1 Ma）.根据全岩地球化学特征,鄂城杂岩体的岩石组成大致可以分为两组:（1）花岗岩类,包括花岗岩、花岗斑岩和角闪石英二长岩,钾质,具有高SiO₂,低TiO₂、FeO_t、MnO、MgO含量等特征;（2）闪长岩类,包括中、细粒闪长岩,钠质,具有低SiO₂,高TiO₂、FeO_t、MnO、MgO含量等特征.这些岩石均富集轻稀土元素（LREE）和大离子亲石元素（LILE,如Rb、Th等）,亏损高场强元素（HFSE,如Nb、P、Ti）等,且花岗岩类具明显的负Eu异常,而闪长岩类则无此特征.在同位素组成方面,鄂城花岗岩类具有较负的全岩ε_Nd（t）值（-11.7~-10.1）和锆石ε_Hf（t）值（-22.91~-9.83）,闪长岩类则具有稍高的全岩ε_Nd（t）值（-7.6）和锆石ε_Hf（t）值（-12.04~-4.69）.元素和同位素地球化学特征共同表明,鄂城花岗岩类属于高分异Ⅰ型花岗岩,且主要来源于古元古代基底物质的部分熔融作用,源区可能有少量幔源物质的加入;闪长岩类主要来源于富集岩石圈地幔,且经历了一定的分离结晶作用.年代学结果显示,鄂城花岗岩类和细粒闪长岩的侵位时间均与程潮铁矿床的主成矿期吻合.结合野外接触关系以及前人的研究,程潮铁矿化可能与上述两类岩石均密切相关.从整个鄂东南地区的成矿作用来看,随着岩浆源区壳源物质贡献的增大以及岩浆分异程度的增加,岩浆作用与铁矿化的关系也更加密切.

Structure and composition of debris flows in the Eastern Sayan

Based on the catastrophic June 28, 2014, Arshan debris flows in the Eastern Sayan Mountains, the structure and lithological composition of the debris are studied and a debris flow defense system is proposed. Among five debris flows in this region, two flows 4.1 and 5.6 km long are scrutinized. The grain size and mineral composition of fans and mudflows, as well as their evolution scenario are studied. The paper also examines the engineering-geological features of debris flow sediments and their textural-structural and physical alterations in the course of settling. Specific attention is devoted to the lithological and climatic constraints of debris flows. It is noted that sediments of recent mudflows are characterized by a high underconsolidation and deliquescence, promoting the formation of high-plastic and fluidal zones that can migrate actively. The approach proposed for debris flow defense measures lies in the construction of flow diversion dams designed for orienting the debris flows toward the “debris dump site.”     

Gold mineralization in siliceous-carbonate rocks of southeastern East Sayan

Complex study and comparative analysis were carried out for two gold deposits, Vodorazdel’noe and Ondol’toi, localized among carbonate and siliceous-carbonate rocks of the Il’chir Formation in southeastern East Sayan. The Vodorazdel’noe deposit is of gold-quartz-sulfide type; it formed at 275–300 °C with the participation of highly concentrated chloride fluids and bears low-fineness gold associated with quartz-sulfide mineralization. In sulfur isotope composition (δ³⁴S) the deposit ores are similar to sulfides of hydrothermal structures of slow-spreading ridges.The Ondol’toi deposit is formed by low-sulfide carbonate breccias and hematitized jasperoids. This deposit is localized in the frontal zone of a large thrust and bears gold-sulfide mineralization (fine-grained sulfides and submicron gold in siliceous-carbonate rocks and jasperoids). It is characterized by the presence of brecciated rocks and high contents of Hg, Sb, Ba, and Fe both in ores and in the host rocks. The established geologic, mineralogical, and geochemical features of the deposit permit it to be assigned to the Carlin type.
