Mineralization of the Liwu large-scale stratiform copper deposits in Sichuan Province,China: Constraints from fluid inclusions

The Liwu stratiform copper deposit is located in the northwestern Jianglang dome, western China. Current studies mainly focus on the genetic type and mineralization of this deposit. Detailed fluid inclusion characteristics of metallogenic period quartz veins were studied to reveal the ore-forming fluid features. Laser Raman analysis indicates that the ore-forming fluids is a H₂O-NaCl-CH₄ (-CO₂) system. Fluid inclusions microthermometry shows a homogenization temperature of 181–375°C and a salinity of 5.26%–16.99% for the disseminated-banded Cu-Zn mineralization; but a homogenization temperature of 142–343°C and a salinity of 5.41%–21.19% for the massive-veined Cu-Zn mineralization. These features suggest a medium-high temperature and a medium salinity for the ore-forming fluids. H-O isotopic data indicates that the ore-forming fluids were mainly from the metamorphic and magmatic water, plus minor formation water. And sulfur isotopic data indicates that sulfur was mainly derived from the formation and magmatic rocks. Metallogenesis of the disseminated-banded mineralization was mainly correlated with fluid mixing and water-rock reaction; whereas that of the massive-veined mineralization was mainly correlated with fluid boiling. The genetic type of the deposit is a medium-high temperature hydrothermal deposit related to magmatism and controlled by shear zones. This study is beneficial to understand the stratiform copper deposit.©2023 China Geology Editorial Office.     

Late Jurassic Volcanism Deduced from Geochemical,Geochronological, and Sr-Nd-Hf Isotopic Composition Characteristics of the Nanyuan Formation,South China

The Nanyuan Formation contains information related to the Mesozoic tectonic transformation. In this study, three representative profiles were surveyed from the Nanyuan Formation, and multiple analyses were conducted. Zircon U-Pb dating yielded their ages as approximately 158–146 Ma. The volcanic rocks are enriched in Rb, Th, U, K, and Pb and depleted in Nb, Ta, P, and Ti, implying their affinity for I-type granites. The ε_Nd(t) values(-8.3 to-6.0),(⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_...     

Coherent Chemical Variation Trends of the 55-25 Ma Magmatic Rocks in SE Tibet:N-S Direction Lithospheric Stretching of Eurasia during Early Stage of India-Eurasia Collision

The progressive indentation of India into Eurasia generated an E–W-trending orthogonal collision belt and a N–S-trending oblique collision belt. Compiling available data reveals that ～70% of the Cenozoic igneous rocks in eastern and southeastern Tibet are concentrated within an ENE-trending, ～550-km long and ～250-km wide magmatic zone(CMZ) that once separated the orthogonal and oblique collision belts. The Latitude 26°N Line is now its southern boundary. The onset timing of magmatism of the CMZ ...

西秦岭八卦庙金矿床原位S-Pb同位素组成对成矿物质来源和成矿过程的指示意义

八卦庙金矿床位于西秦岭造山带凤太多金属矿田北部,已探明金储量约106 t(平均金品位1.56 g/t),属于特大型金矿。金矿体受脆韧性剪切带控制,总体走向NWW,倾向北,赋矿地层为上泥盆统星红铺组下段。文章在成矿期次研究基础上,采用硫化物原位S-Pb同位素分析方法,对八卦庙金矿成矿过程和成矿物质来源进行了约束。基于详细的野外观察和矿相学研究,矿区识别出了2个金成矿期：顺层磁黄铁矿-石英成矿期和NE向黄铁矿-石英成矿期。顺层磁黄铁矿-石英成矿期可划分为自形黄铁矿-石英(Ⅰ)、磁黄铁矿-自然金-铁白云石(Ⅱ)、白云母-绿泥石-绿帘石-石英(Ⅲ)3个阶段;NE向黄铁矿-石英成矿期由自形磁黄铁矿-黄铁矿-粗粒石英(Ⅳ)、他形黄铁矿-细粒石英(Ⅴ)、他形磁黄铁矿-自然金-铁白云石(Ⅵ)和石英-黑云母(Ⅶ)4个阶段构成。顺层磁黄铁矿-石英成矿期硫化物的δ³⁴S值集中在1.60‰～5.89‰和14.07‰～16.87‰两个区间;NE向黄铁矿-石英成矿期硫化物的δ³⁴S值也集中在2.77‰～5.52‰和9.11‰～15.9‰两个区间,通过与围岩和区内岩浆岩对...

为明确位于新疆北部的布尔津盆地的资源状况,以实际采集数据为基础,采用建场测深法成果剖面研究了该盆地的地层地质结构,并对深层油气及浅部砂岩型铀矿进行评价。通过利用已知测井电阻率曲线模拟计算不同深度的电磁信号频率响应,论证了该方法探测从浅层第三系到深部石炭系的采集参数和工作方案;在数据处理成果的基础上,结合研究区已知地层物性特征,推断沿线的地质结构,揭示了布尔津凹陷的结构及下二叠统卡拉岗组、上石炭统哈尔加乌组、上石炭统恰其海组地层的分布,认为哈尔加乌组是本区有潜力的烃源岩。同时利用电阻率及双频相位属性对研究区浅部第三系砂岩型铀成矿条件进行分析,其结果与附近已知矿点情况吻合。本文提出的方法可为类似地区进行多种矿产资源勘探提供技术参考。     

鄂尔多斯盆地南部旬邑-宜君地区直罗组古层间氧化带地球化学特征及水-岩作用探讨

鄂尔多斯盆地南部旬邑-宜君地区直罗组古层间氧化带具有明显分带特征,通过对不同分带砂岩主量、微量、稀土元素及环境敏感参数特征对比研究,将旬邑-宜君地区古层间氧化带发育的水-岩作用过程划分成两个阶段：古层间氧化带形成和大规模成矿阶段、二次还原改造阶段。(1)古层间氧化带形成和大规模成矿阶段：含氧水进入目的层砂体,使砂体中Fe²⁺氧化成Fe³⁺(Fe²⁺含量最低,Fe³⁺最高);砂体中的U被氧化为U⁶⁺,形成铀酰腐殖酸盐络合物发生迁移(U、Corg、S含量最低、Th/U比值最高);长石高岭土化使Si发生流失(SiO₂含量降低);携带大量U的氧化流体运移至氧化还原过渡带(Corg、∑S含量最高、Fe²⁺含量仅低于灰绿色砂体),还原剂(有机质和黄铁矿等)将U⁶⁺还原成U⁴⁺,形成沥青铀矿;U⁴⁺与SiO₄^4-发生反应形成铀石(Th/U比...     

基于成分数据分析和能谱-面积分形模型的鄂西黄陵背斜化探异常识别

鄂西黄陵背斜地区虽已发现众多矿点,但是矿床规模较小,找矿潜力不明。由于区内植被茂盛、覆盖严重,致使地质异常信息被削弱或掩盖,对进一步找矿工作造成了严重干扰。本次研究使用成分数据分析和能谱-面积（S-A）分形模型识别与金矿化相关的异常,结果表明：（1）等距对数比（ILR）变换后的主成分分析结果相比对数（Log）变换更能够反应元素的共生组合规律,第一主成分（PC1）元素组合为Au-Cu-Ag,且Au元素占有最大的载荷,与金矿密切相关,PC1元素组合异常的分布模式与矿点的分布更加吻合;（2） S-A方法抑制了黄陵背斜区域水系沉积物的背景模式,增强了异常模式;（3）根据地质特征和以往勘查工作情况,圈定了三处找矿远景区,为该地区金矿下一步勘查工作提供了重要依据。
