Re-Os Age of Cu-Ni Ores from the Huangshandong Cu-Ni Sulfide Deposit in the East Tianshan Mountains and Its Implication for Geodynamic Processes

An isochron age of 282±20 (95% conf. limit) Ma of the sulfide ores in the Huangshandong Cu-Ni sulfide deposit, the East Tianshan Mountains has been obtained through Re-Os isotopic measurement. The age implies that the Cu-Ni sulfide deposit and other related deposits in the same area occurred in a Permian extensional environment of post-collision instead of Devonian-Early Carboniferous ophiolite-related oceanic or island arc environments inferred before. It shares the same ages with the orogenic and epithermal gold deposit systems in the same area. An initial 187Os/188Os ratio of 0.25±0.04 (1σ) and a γos value of 99 on average display the participation of large quantities of crustal components into the rock-forming and ore-forming system during mineralization and magmatic emplacement.     

Analysis of Karst Tufa from Guangxi, China

The paper presents an analysis of characteristic karst tufa from Guangxi, China, which has not been studied before. A comparison with tufa from Dinaric Karst of Croatia is discussed in view of the C-type climate. The major mineral is calcite. Minor minerals are quartz and dolomite, depending on location. The content of calcium carbonate varies from 65% to 92%, and that of magnesium carbonate from 0.03% to 1.77%. Among other elements, the most abundant are Fe, from 0.02% to 1.50%, and Ti, from 0.15% to 0.27%. Many other trace elements (V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Hg and Pb) are also present. Specific activity of radionuclides 40K, 232Th, 137Cs, 226Ra and 238U varies from sample to sample. Concentration of U in tufa is close to that reported for sedimentary carbonate. Low concentration of 137Cs indicates that this part of the world was not exposed to nuclear explosions. The concentration of 226Ra is the highest in Mashan County. The ratio 238U/226Ra (0.21-0.71) in tufa from Mashan Co     

An X-Ray Diffraction Study of an Inclusion in Diamond from the Luobusha Chromite Deposit in Tibet, China

Diamond was found in podiform chromitites of ophiolite and harzburgite from Luobusha, Tibet. There are silicate inclusions in some diamond grains from this area. In the present work, the CCD (charge coupled detector) technology of X-ray powder diffraction was applied to the study of the inclusion in diamond from the ophiolite of Tibet. Diffraction patterns are obtained even though the inclusion is only 20 μm in crystal size. The results show that the inclusion in diamond consists of talc and clinochrysotile. Therefore, it is clear that the diamond from the ophiolite of Luobusha, Tibet, is natural diamond rather than a synthetic one.

西天山伊耳曼得型金矿流体特征及成矿环境

西天山一种以伊耳曼得和恰布坎卓它等金矿为代表的金矿类型,其成矿流体液相成分以K⁺离子为主,其次是Na⁺、Cl^-、SO₄^2-及少量的Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺.流体气相成分以H₂O为主,其次是CO₂、H₂,少量的O₂、N₂、CH₄和CO.流体的矿化度平均为8.28g/L,盐度比较低,其范围为1.5%~0.39%(NaCl),流体的pH值在2.8~5.5之间.流体离子强度为0.146~0.18.氧逸度为lgf o₂=-35.2~-38.9,流体的pH-lgf o₂稳定范围与冰长石-绢云母型和酸性硫酸盐型金矿床的稳定范围不一致.流体温度范围为93~151.4℃.流体压力范围为5.6~17 MPa.表明成矿流体具有低温、低压和低盐度的特点.流体属于H₂O-NaCl-CO₂体系,来自大气降水.大气降水渗滤到地下,受到火山和地温梯度的影响,形成了沿一定深度运动的热循环流体.成矿流体的物理化学环境是一种过渡类型.成矿流体沿火山碎屑岩孔隙和微裂隙多次渗透交代而成矿.     

鞍山市西郊区水位预测

根据鞍山市西郊区水文地质条件，建立了双层渗流二维平面系统的数学模型：应用Galerkin有限元法求解模型，从模型的计算结果可见该区观测点水位绝对误差较小，达到了规范要求的计算精度，同时，在此区内有一个大漏斗，在东南的铁西一带也有一个小漏斗。由于铁西一带是主要开采水源区，开采水量较大，所以漏斗逐渐向外扩大且水位有明显下降的趋势。这一变化规律与实际水位一致，说明计算水位基本上反映了实际水位空间变化的规律。因此根据模拟参数利用此模型对该地区进行了水位预测，共预测了四年的水位状况，并依据水位的预测结果对该区的水资源开发利用提出了合理建议。

伊宁吐拉苏火山盆地金矿成矿构造系统与远景评估

吐拉苏火山盆地金矿成矿构造系统由2种类型的成矿构造组成，一种是火山机构中的高角度塌陷式断裂；另一种是爆发．沉积相中的低角度水压式断裂．阿希金矿受控于弧形塌陷式断裂，其北东段坍塌强度大于南东段，最大张裂空间控制的矿体群向NE侧伏．阿希火山机构东侧的阿恰勒河组下可能隐伏着与西侧对应的高角度弧形塌陷式成矿断裂．爆发．沉积相中硅化岩型金矿受控于水压式断裂，不透水凝灰岩层圈闭富水粗火山碎屑岩层，组成压力仓构造并发生水力压裂作用．由水力压裂作用形成的层控水压式成矿断裂出现的几率，远大于后期由非成矿断裂切割抬升它们出现的几率．构造解析表明吐拉苏火山盆地2类成矿构造控制的金矿具有巨大的地质找矿潜力．
