粤东鸿沟山金矿区流纹斑岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年、Lu-Hf同位素组成及其地质意义

鸿沟山矿区位于华南粤东莲花山钨矿床的中部,是近年来通过地质矿产调查新发现具有找寻金矿潜力的矿床之一。本文以与鸿沟山金等多金属矿化关系密切的流纹斑岩为研究对象,开展了锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年、流纹斑岩和矿石岩石地球化学、锆石Lu-Hf同位素组成特征研究。获得流纹斑岩锆石206Pb/238U加权平均年龄为169.1±1.5Ma,说明岩体形成于中侏罗世。在微量元素特征方面,流纹斑岩都表现为相对亏损大离子亲石元素Ba、Sr和高强场元素Nb、P、Zr、Hf,富集大离子亲石元素Rb,高强场元素U、Ce、Sm和轻稀土元素La、Nd,流纹斑岩与矿石稀土元素特征基本相似,Eu具中等负异常,但随着矿化强度的增强稀土元素更加富集。流纹斑岩εHf(t)(-15.0~2.2)分布范围宽,二阶段模式年龄TDM2主要变化范围为0.82~0.93 Ga,表明成岩物质主要来源于新元古代古老地壳变质泥岩和变质砂岩部分熔融,并有幔源物质的加入。因此,围绕着该时间段的流纹斑岩岩体,对于找寻W、Cu、Pb、Zn、Bi、Au、稀土、稀有和稀散元素矿产具有重要意义。     

Tectonothermal events in the Olympic IOCG Province constrained by apatite and REE-phosphate geochronology

The Olympic iron oxide–copper–gold province in South Australia contains numerous deposits and prospects, including the Olympic Dam Cu–U–Au–Ag deposit and the Acropolis prospect. The Acropolis prospect comprises massive, coarse-grained magnetite–apatite veins partly replaced by a hematite-stable assemblage. The apatite grains in the veins contain zones with abundant inclusions of other minerals (including monazite and xenotime) and low trace-element concentrations relative to the inclusion-free zones. The inclusion-rich apatite zones are interpreted to be formed from the recrystallisation of the inclusion-free apatite and remobilisation of U, Th and rare earth element (REE) from apatite into monazite and xenotime. Apatite, monazite and xenotime are all established U–Th–Pb geochronometers and offer the potential to constrain the alteration history of the Acropolis prospect. The LA-ICPMS U–Pb age of inclusion-free apatite is within error of the age of the host volcanic units (ca 1.59 Ga). Inclusion-rich apatite yields both near-concordant analyses that are within error of the inclusion-free apatite as well as highly disturbed (discordant) analyses. The most concordant analyses of monazite (Th–Pb) inclusions and xenotime (U–Pb) inclusions and rim grains indicate an alteration event occurred at ca 1.37 Ga and possibly also at ca 500 Ma. The disparity in age of the inclusion-rich apatite and the REE-phosphate inclusions (and rim grains) is suggested to be owing to the apatite being initially recrystallised at ca 1.59 Ga and modified again by a later event that also formed (or coarsened) most of the inclusions. Partial resetting of the majority of the monazite inclusions as well as the presence of significant amounts of common Pb has complicated the interpretation of the monazite results. In contrast, xenotime is a more robust geochronometer in this setting. The ages of the two post-1.59 Ga events that appear to have affected the Acropolis prospect do not correspond to any events known to have occurred in the Gawler Craton. The earlier (ca 1.37 Ga) age instead corresponds best with metamorphic–magmatic–hydrothermal activity in Laurentia, consistent with the proximity of Laurentia and the Gawler Craton inferred from palaeogeographic reconstructions. The later (ca 500 Ma) event corresponds to the Delamerian Orogeny and has been shown by prior studies to have also affected the Olympic Dam deposit.     

黑龙江铁力鹿鸣斑岩型钼矿床埃达克岩的发现及其地质意义

鹿鸣钼矿是伊春-延寿成矿带内近年发现的大型斑岩钼矿,矿区主要出露含矿的二长花岗岩、花岗斑岩,不含矿的花岗闪长岩及似斑状花岗闪长岩四种岩性。二长花岗岩与花岗斑岩具有相似的低Sr高Y等地球化学特征,形成于194.8±0.7Ma~184Ma前后的早侏罗世,是斑岩型矿床的赋矿围岩。花岗闪长岩及似斑状花岗闪长岩含有暗色岩包体,主要为高钾钙碱性系列岩石,但以高Sr、低Y及富Na为特征,部分地球化学指标与中国东部埃达克岩极为相似,形成于176.2±2.1Ma并与辉钼矿Re-Os法获得的成矿年龄一致,被认定为斑岩型矿床的成矿母岩。高Sr和低Sr两类花岗岩形成于不同的构造背景,与中生代时期中国东部及其邻区几次重大地质事件密切相关。鹿鸣斑岩型钼矿床与中侏罗世太平洋板块俯冲在高氧逸度条件下熔融形成的埃达克质岩浆高侵位有关。鹿鸣矿区埃达克岩的发现表明中侏罗世太平洋板块已经发生了萎缩与消减,与之相关的岩浆作用及成矿应该具有广泛的区域性,扎实的岩石学工作可为区域更多斑岩型矿床的发现提供线索。

曹四夭钼矿床位于华北克拉通北缘凉城断隆东侧,其矿化与多期次侵位的花岗质杂岩体具有密切的时间和空间联系。杂岩体的岩石类型包括:少斑状花岗斑岩、多斑状花岗斑岩、中细粒花岗岩、二长花岗斑岩和正长花岗斑岩等;前人的锆石U-Pb法测年数据表明,矿区岩浆活动可以分为155 Ma、149~140 Ma、134~131 Ma三个期次。本次研究获得矿区少斑状花岗斑岩的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb法测年加权平均年龄为167Ma±1.2Ma,反映矿区可能还存在较早期的岩浆活动(中-晚侏罗世),其可与155 Ma岩浆岩划分为矿区早期的岩浆活动。花岗斑岩体具有高酸度、高钾和高铝质含量特征,总体属于酸性富钾钙碱性系列;花岗斑岩体含铝指数(A/CNK)介于1.20~2.49之间,Tb、Nd、Ga和LREE(Eu除外)富集,Eu、Ti、Sr、P亏损,属于高度分异的A型花岗岩系列。曹四夭花岗斑岩体形成于中-晚侏罗世构造机制转化时期,可能与蒙古-鄂霍次克洋闭合后的后造山伸展有关,为晚侏罗世钼多金属矿化的母岩。     

Development of groundwater favourability map using GIS-based driven data mining models: an approach for effective groundwater resource management

The development of groundwater favourability map is an effective tool for the sustainability management of groundwater resources in typical agricultural regions, such as southern Perak Province, Malaysia. Assessing the potentiality and pollution vulnerability of groundwater is a fundamental phase of favourability mapping. A geographic information system (GIS)-based Boolean operator of a spatial analyst module was applied to combine a groundwater potentiality map (GPM) model and a groundwater vulnerability to pollution index (GVPI) map, thereby establishing the favourable zones for drinking water exploration in the investigated area. The area GPM model was evaluated by applying a GIS-based Dempster–Shafer–evidential belief function model. In the evaluation, six geoelectrically determined groundwater potential conditioning factors (i.e. overburden resistivity, overburden thickness, aquifer resistivity, aquifer thickness, aquifer transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity) were synthesized by employing the probability-based algorithms of the model. The generated thematic maps of the seven hydrogeological parameters of the DRASTIC model were considered as pollution potential conditioning factors and were analysed with the developed ordered weighted average–DRASTIC index model algorithms to construct the GVPI map. Approximately 88.8 and 85.71% prediction accuracies for the Groundwater Potentiality and GVPI maps were established using the reacting operating characteristic curve method and water quality status–vulnerability zone relationship scheme, respectively. Finally, the area groundwater favourability map (GFM) model was produced by applying a GIS-based Boolean operator on the Groundwater Potentiality and GVPI maps. The GFM model reveals three distinct zones: ‘not suitable’, ‘less suitable’ and ‘very suitable’ zones. The area analysis of the GFM model indicates that more than 50% of the study area is covered by the ‘very suitable’ zones. Results produce a suitability map that can be used by local authorities for the exploitation and management of drinking water in the area. The study findings can also be applied as a tool to help increase public awareness of groundwater issues in developing countries.

Contrasting water–rock interaction behaviors of antimony and arsenic in contaminated rivers around an antimony mine,Hunan Province,China

Although antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) exhibit similar geochemical behavior and toxicity in the environment, growing evidence suggests that their water–rock interaction behavior in contaminated rivers is quite different. Twenty-nine river water samples were collected between September and November 2018 from contaminated rivers around an antimony mine in Hunan Province, China. The concentrations of As and Sb were inversely proportional to the water flow distance. The rates and magnitudes of Sb decrease were more prominent than those of As. Silicate mineral dissolution from rocks such as silicified limestone increased the As and Sb concentration of in-mine-district (IMD) water. Dissolution of carbonate minerals, ion exchange, and competitive adsorption were the major water–rock interactions, resulting in rapidly decreasing As and Sb concentration in IMD direct impacted water and IMD indirect impacted water. The behaviors of As and Sb during water–rock interaction were dissimilar for areas dominated by carbonate and silicate minerals.     

The evolution of the terrestrial-terminating Irish Sea glacier during the last glaciation

Here we reconstruct the last advance to maximum limits and retreat of the Irish Sea Glacier (ISG), the only land-terminating ice lobe of the western British Irish Ice Sheet. A series of reverse bedrock slopes rendered proglacial lakes endemic, forming time-transgressive moraine- and bedrock-dammed basins that evolved with ice marginal retreat. Combining, for the first time on glacial sediments, optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) bleaching profiles for cobbles with single grain and small aliquot OSL measurements on sands, has produced a coherent chronology from these heterogeneously bleached samples. This chronology constrains what is globally an early build-up of ice during late Marine Isotope Stage 3 and Greenland Stadial (GS) 5, with ice margins reaching south Lancashire by 30 ± 1.2 ka, followed by a 120-km advance at 28.3 ± 1.4 ka reaching its 26.5 ± 1.1 ka maximum extent during GS-3. Early retreat during GS-3 reflects piracy of ice sources shared with the Irish-Sea Ice Stream (ISIS), starving the ISG. With ISG retreat, an opportunistic readvance of Welsh ice during GS-2 rode over the ISG moraines occupying the space vacated, with ice margins oscillating within a substantial glacial over-deepening. Our geomorphological chronosequence shows a glacial system forced by climate but mediated by piracy of ice sources shared with the ISIS, changing flow regimes and fronting environments.     

南秦岭柞水—山阳矿集区金铜矿床成矿规律与找矿方向

南秦岭柞水—山阳矿集区地质构造和岩浆活动强烈,矿床(点)成群成带分布,成矿条件良好。在长期找矿实践、成矿地质背景分析和典型矿床解剖的基础上,综合研究认为,区内金矿主要受EW向断裂或EW向韧-脆性剪切带与NE向张扭性叠加构造控制,寒武系水沟口组、泥盆系星红铺组与大枫沟组是金的赋矿地层。金矿体呈近EW向大致等间距展布,单个矿体在延伸方向呈透镜状、哑铃状、囊状等,具尖灭再现特征,构造叠加部位矿体厚大、品位较高。区内金矿床类型多为中-低温热液型、远成低温热液型,成矿时代为印支—燕山期。夏家店等已知金矿床深部及外围、区域断裂旁侧次级近EW向与NNE向断裂交汇部位、构造转折端、构造虚脱部位等是寻找金矿的有利靶区。铜矿分布于山阳—凤镇大断裂两侧,成矿类型以斑岩型-矽卡岩型为主,构造热液改造型、隐爆角砾岩型次之。斑岩型-矽卡岩型铜(钼)矿受燕山期构造-岩浆活动控制,赋存于燕山期斑岩体与围岩接触带内;矿体产状多受岩体与围岩接触面控制,呈似层状、透镜状产出。燕山期中酸性小岩体及其与围岩的接触部位、东西向三级断裂带附近是寻找铜(钼)矿的首选靶区。本次研究建立了柞水—山阳矿集区金铜矿床区域成矿模式,总结了找矿标志,通过成矿规律、成矿作用及物探、化探、遥感异常特征系统分析,认为区内找矿潜力巨大,并提出了3片金铜(钼)成矿远景区,指出下一步的找矿方向。     

普朗斑岩型铜矿床成矿元素多重分形特征及其矿化强度指示

成矿元素品位的变化受控于长期地质作用过程,具有较强的非线性特征,定量刻画其变化特征有助于深入理解成矿过程,并为找矿预测提供理论依据。运用多重分形去趋势移动均值（MFDMA） 法,分析云南普朗斑岩型铜矿床4号勘探线钻孔Cu元素品位的多重分形特征及其对矿化强度的指示意义。结果显示：所有钻孔Cu元素品位具有多重分形特征,且不同矿化等级的元素分布存在局部奇异性差异,多重分形强度随矿化强度等级减弱而增加;这些特征指示在钾硅化带—带内侧强矿化钻孔的高品位相对聚集,而带外侧角岩化—青磐岩化带的高品位相对分散;通过数据随机重排技术推测Cu品位多重分形结构奇异性差异是由其分布概率密度和长相关性共同作用引起,后者的作用贡献大于前者。
