Rare-earth elements as source indicators of Pan-African granites from Obudu Plateau,Southeastern Nigeria

The rare-earth element （REE） concentrations of representative granite samples from the southeast of the Obudu Plateau, Nigeria, were analyzed with an attempt to determine the signatures of their source, evolutionary history and tectonic setting. Results indicated that the granites have high absolute REE concentrations （190×10^-6-1191×10^-6; av.=549×10^-6） with the chondrite-normalized REE patterns characterized by steep negative slopes and prominent to slight or no negative Eu anomalies. All the samples are also characterized by high and variable concentrations of the LREE （151×10^-6-1169×10^-6; av.= 466×10^-6）, while the HREE show low abundance （4×10^-6-107×10^-6; av.=28×10^-6）. These are consistent with the variable levels of REE fractionation, and differentiation of the granites. This is further supported by the range of REE contents, the chondrite-normalized patterns and the ratios of LaN/YbN （2.30-343.37）, CeN/YbN （5.94-716.87）, LaN/SmN （3.14-11.68） and TbN/YbN （0.58-1.65）. The general parallelism of the REE patterns, suggest that all the granites were comagmatic in origin, while the high Eu/Eu＊ ratios （0.085-2.807; av.=0.9398） indicate high fo2 at the source. Similarly, irregular variations in LaN/YbN, CeN/YbN and Eu/Eu＊ ratios and REE abundances among the samples suggest behaviors that are related to mantle and crustal sources.     

Yangshan Gold Deposit: The Largest Carlin and Carlin-like Type Gold Deposit in China

Gold Headquarter of the CAPF has discovered the Yangshan super large-scale gold depositin Gansu Province, which is a great breakthrough of gold exploration and prospecting in WesternQiniing Mountains of China. The gold resources of this deposit achieved 308 tons with increasingpotentials. Preliminary geological investigations indicate that the Yangshan gold deposit is located inthe intra-continental collision orogenic belt; and the deposit was formed during the continent-continentcollision orogenic processes. The geological characteristics of the deposit are similar to that of thetypical Carlin-type gold deposits, while differences still exist. The ore-forming background is notablydifferent from the Carlin gold deposit province in the United States; and the ore-forming fluids aresimilar with that of the orogenic-type gold deposit. Accordingly, the Yangshan gold deposit is atransitional type between the Carlin-type and the orogenic type gold deposits. At present, the Yangshangold deposit is the largest Carlin and Carlin-like type gold deposit that is ever discovered in China.Researches on metaliogeny, metaliogenic model and ore-enrichment regularities of the Yangshan golddeposit are crucial to meet the pressing needs of the current geological investigation and oreexploration of the deposit.     

Mesoproterozoic Continental Arc Type Granite in the Central Tianshan Mountains: Zircon SHRIMP U-Pb Dating and Geochemical Analyses

The Central Tianshan belt in northwestern China is a small Precambrian block located in the southern part of the Central Asia Orogenic Belt （CAOB）, which is considered as ＂the most voluminous block of young continental crust in the world＂ that comprises numerous small continental blocks separated by Paleozoic magmatic arcs. The Precambrian basement of the central Tianshan Mountains is composed of volcanic rocks and associated volcano-sedimentary rocks that were intruded by granitic plutons. Geochemical analyses demonstrate that the granitic plutons and volcanic rocks were generated in the Andean-type active continental arc environment like today＇s Chile, and the zircon U-Pb SHRIMP dating indicates that they were developed at about 956 Ma, possibly corresponding to the subduction of the inferred Mozambique Ocean under the Baltic-African super-continent.     

再论南岭侏罗纪“铝质”A型花岗岩的成因及其对古地温线的制约

对南岭地区侏罗纪4个典型"铝质"A型花岗岩岩基——柯树北、寨背、西山和南昆山的成因分析表明:柯树北、寨背岩基中的低分异花岗岩SiO2≈70%,A/CNK<1.1,CaO≥1%,高Zr、Ba含量,是下地壳部分熔融产物;而SiO2含量较高者由低分异花岗岩岩浆通过分离结晶演化而来。西山花岗质火山-侵入杂岩也是下地壳部分熔融产物。南昆山花岗岩为高硅花岗岩,贫Zr、低Ba、Sr和Eu/Eu*值,但具有高的Nb、Ga、REE含量和Ga/Al比值,在Whalen等(1987)图解中地球化学参数落在A型花岗岩区域内。碱性玄武岩浆分离结晶的成岩模式无法解释南昆山岩基较大的体积、均一的成分和低的Nb/Ta比值。详细的成岩分析表明,南昆山花岗岩可能是先期侵入的(幔源)碱性正长岩在富水和相对低温低压条件下发生部分熔融的产物。由这些"铝质"A型花岗岩的熔融温压条件估算得出热流值达到80~95mWm-2的南岭地区侏罗纪古地温线。由古地温线推算出的岩石圈厚度45~75km。南岭侏罗纪高热流背景及其对应的花岗质岩浆活动可能与后碰撞造山阶段岩石圈地幔拆沉或被"热侵蚀"有关,但并不一定意味着岩石圈伸展的大地构造环境。
