Use of three widely spread plant species from American arid regions for exploration of tin mineralizations

The ability to accumulate trace element contents of three plant species of widespread occurrence in the semi-arid regions of middle and southern South America (Larrea cuneifolia Cav., Cercidium praecox (Ruiz & Pav.) Harms, and Bulnesia retama (Gillies ex Hook. & Arn.) Griseb.) has been considered in order to determine their application to the exploration of tin mineralizations. Two of the three studied species can be considered as suitable for biogeochemical exploration (L. cuneifolia and C. praecox). Concentrations of As, Cd, and Mo reflect the known tin mineralization. L. cuneifolia and B. retama showed the highest and lowest trace element accumulation rates. Only zinc is preferentially accumulated in C. praecox. In addition, L. cuneifolia and C. praecox could be of environmental interest in As-bearing areas due to the accumulation capability for such element.

湘南地区钨锡多金属矿床浆液过渡态熔体类型成因联系及其成矿意义

岩浆液态不混溶形成的浆液过渡态熔体是与高度分异花岗岩有关的钨锡多金属成矿流体的重要形式。湘南地区与钨锡多金属成矿有关的浆液过渡态熔体有两种类型,一种富钠富挥发分,以芙蓉矿田矿化蚀变碱长花岗岩中的钠长石电气石石英囊为代表;另一种富钾富挥发分,以界牌岭矿床矿化蚀变花岗斑岩中的锂白云母萤石囊(团块)为代表。两种浆液过渡态熔体可形成于同一矿床,为同期岩浆活动产物,成分上K₂O与Na₂O负相关,表明它们具有密切的时空和成因联系,熔体-流体包裹体发育,为高度分异的花岗质岩浆液态不混溶产物。两种浆液过渡态熔体富含成矿物质,与成矿关系密切,湘南地区多数钨锡多金属矿床的云英岩型、构造蚀变带型、钾化花岗岩型钨锡多金属成矿可能与富钾富挥发分的浆液过渡态熔体有关,钠化花岗岩型铌钽矿化与富钠富挥发分的浆液过渡态熔体有关。     

岩石地球化学异常下限的确定方法对比——以云南思姑锡矿区为例

文章以云南思姑锡矿区周边岩石的X荧光化探样品中的Sn元素为研究对象,分别采用传统统计法、勘查数据分析法和多重分形法确定异常下限,并对各方法在研究区的使用效果进行了对比。勘查数据分析法圈定的异常比已知矿床、矿化带范围小,异常较为分散;传统统计法圈定的异常与已知矿床、矿化带范围基本吻合,且较为连续,但漏掉很多弱小异常;多重分形法圈定的异常与已知矿床、矿化带范围几乎完全吻合,异常连续性好,没有漏掉弱小异常,并圈定出一些未知的异常区域,为下一步矿区外围找矿工作提供了重要参考。

Indium Mineralization in the Yejiwei Sn‐Polymetallic Deposit of the Shizhuyuan Orefield,Southern Hunan,China

The Y ejiwei deposit, which is located in the southern H unan W –Sn –Pb –Z n M etallogenic B elt in south C hina, is a large‐scale porphyry–skarn–veinlet‐type deposit containing 806 t I n. M ineralization occurs as porphyry‐type S n (stockworks), skarn‐type S n–C u, marble‐hosted‐type S n–C u (veinlet), and vein‐type P b–Z n ores. Thirty‐five ore samples were collected from the Y ejiwei deposit for bulk and mineral chemical composition, microscopic observation and electron microprobe analyses. The porphyry‐type S n ores contain variable amounts of I n (2.3–76 ppm; mean of 17.4 ppm) with local I n enrichment (226 ppm) and 1000 × I n/Z n values are 3.8–52.4. The skarn‐type C u–S n ore is richest in I n (12.3–214 ppm; mean of 114 ppm), and 1000 × I n/Z n values are 2.4–117. In contrast, the In content of the marble‐hosted‐type C u–S n ores is relatively low (7.4–34.9 ppm; mean of 20.3 ppm), and 1000 × I n/Z n is in the range of 0.61–5.5, and the vein‐type P b–Z n ores in the external zone contain the lowest I n contents (7.2–17.0 ppm; mean of 12.1 ppm) with 1000 × I n/Z n values of 0.07–0.09. The ore minerals in the deposit include pyrite, pyrrhotite, cassiterite, and I n‐bearing minerals of sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and stannite. Although only trace amounts of sphalerite are hosted in the porphyry ores, the sphalerite contains the highest I n content (0.27–10.1 wt.% I n) in the deposit. We observed the highest I n contents of all I n‐bearing sphalerite reported in C hina. The I n contents of sphalerite in the skarn‐type ore range from 0.15 to 0.56 wt.%, whereas the marble‐hosted‐, and vein‐type ores have lower I n contents (0.00–0.04, and 0.03–0.06 wt.%, respectively). The In resources of the Y ejiwei deposit are mainly hosted in skarn ores of the No. 31 and No. 32 orebodies. The genesis of I n in the Y ejiwei deposit was closely related to the shallow intrusive environment of related igneous rocks. As W –S n–M o–B i–C u–P b–Z n–A g mineralization is widespread in south H unan, this study would suggest a focus on skarn‐type S n–Z n deposits for the future prospecting of I n resources.     

Geochemistry of A-type granites in the Huangshaping polymetallic deposit (South Hunan,China): Implications for granite evolution and associated mineralization

The Huangshaping granites in Hunan Province, South China were investigated for their geochemical characteristics. Three types of granites have been petrographically identified: quartz porphyry, granophyre, and granite porphyry. Whole rock geochemistry suggests that the Huangshaping granites, especially the granite porphyry, exhibit typical A-type granite characteristics with their enrichment in Si, Rb, U, Th, and Nb and significant depletion in Ba, Sr, Ti, Eu, and P. Based on the Al, Y and Zr contents as well as the REE patterns of the rocks investigated, the quartz porphyry and the granophyre are classified as A₁ type alkaline granites whereas the granite porphyry is considered as A₂ type aluminous granite. Whole rock and quartz/feldspar O isotope data yields a wide range of δ¹⁸O_SMOW values (11.09–26.32‰). The granites are characterized by high radiogenic Pb isotopic composition. The present-day whole rock Pb isotopic ratios are ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 18.706–19.155, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 15.616–15.711 and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 38.734–39.296. Combining the O–Pb isotope compositions with major, trace and REE geochemistry and regional geology characteristics, the Huangshaping granites were determined to resemble within-plate granites that were mainly derived from a felsic infracrustal source related to continental extension. The magma source of the quartz porphyry and the granophyre may have been generated from deeper depths, and then ascended rapidly with limited water content and low oxygen fugacity, which contributed to Cu, Pb and Zn mineralization. On the other hand, the magma that generated the granite porphyry may have ascended relatively slower and experienced pronounced crystal fractionation, upper-crustal basement rock contamination (assimilation) and wall–rock interaction, producing the Sn- and W-rich granite porphyry. This study reveals the crustal extension process and associated magmatic–metallogenic activities during 180–150 Ma in South Hunan.     

桂西北地区石英斑岩脉白云母40Ar/39Ar 年龄及其地质意义

华南西部右江褶皱带内部燕山晚期岩浆岩主要为成群分布的基性- 超基性岩墙群和超酸性岩脉带。本文对桂西北巴
马-凤山-凌云一带的石英斑岩脉进行了斑晶白云母40Ar/39Ar 法测年,获得凤山弄黄北东向岩脉的40Ar/39Ar 坪年龄为（95.59
±0.68）Ma,相应的等时线年龄为（95.0±1.0）Ma;巴马北西向岩脉的坪年龄为（96.54±0.70）Ma,相应的等时线年龄为
（95.91±1.1）Ma。上述年龄代表了岩脉的侵位年龄。这些年龄数据进一步证明右江褶皱带及其周缘燕山期岩浆活动集中于
80~100 Ma 之间,暗示该区晚白垩世发生了大规模的岩石圈伸展减薄事件。华南西部晚白垩世花岗质岩浆活动与大规模的
锡多金属成矿有关,因此桂西北地区石英斑岩集中出露的地方是否具有寻找深部锡多金属矿的前景值得关注。同时,该期
岩浆活动是否与以卡林型金矿为代表的低温热液矿床有成因上的联系尚需更多矿床地质和年代学资料的证实。
