Yixunite and Damiaoite—A Twin of New Native Alloys of Indium and Platinum from the Yanshan Mountains

Yixunite and damiaoite Were found in a cobalt- and copper-bearing platinum ore vein of a contact metasomatic deposit. The chief ore minerals are bornite, chalcopyrite, magnetite and carrollite. The platinum minerals include moncheite, sperrylite, daomanite, cobalt malanite and cooperite. Yixunite and damiaoite occur as immiscible globules, 1.0 to 2.0 mm in diameter. Yixunite is always in the central part of a globule. It is opaque with metallic lustre, bright white colour and black streak. HM = 5.8; VHN50 = 634 kg/mm2 (573-681 kg/ mm2); insoluble in HCl, HNO3, HF or H3PO4; no cleavage; no magnetism. Density is hard to measure because of small grain size. Calculated density = 18.21 g/cm3. Reflective colour is bright white with a yellowish tint. Isotropic. The mean analytical results (ranges) (%) are: Pt 82.8 (81.8-83.6), In 16.4(15.6-17.1) and total 99.2. The empirical formula (based on 4 atoms) is Pt2.993 In1.007 . The five strongest lines of X-ray diffraction (hkl, d,I) are 111, 2.30 (100); 200, 1.99 (

Gold in Madagascar

Gold is commonly found throughout the Precambrian basement exposed in the eastern two-thirds of Madagascar, composed of Archean and Proterozoic greenstone belts and metasediment belts. Gold occurs in four main kinds of deposits:- as a diffuse component of the crystalline basement rocks, - in concordant quartz veins within the metamorphic rocks of the Precambrian basement, - in recent discordant veins, - and in recent and ancient alluvial deposits.The initial gold mineralisation is probably in relation with the greenstone belt formation, and many have been formed and/or reworked during different metamorphic and magmatic events. It is therefore difficult to obtain an accurate age of the different kinds of deposits.     

中国钼矿主要矿集区及其资源潜力探讨

钼矿是中国的优势矿种之一,在全国范围内均有分布。矿床成因类型以斑岩型、矽卡岩型和热液脉型为主,成矿时代以中生代和新生代为主。新世纪,随着科技进步,钼的应用领域逐渐扩大,带动了中国钼矿的勘探和开采工作,取得了一系列找矿新突破,特别是在非传统的钼矿产区发现了许多大型和超大型钼矿,使中国钼矿资源量有了大的突破,基本上改变了过去"南钨北钼"的原有格局。本文在广泛搜集资料的基础上,总结了中国钼矿资源特点,并综合考虑岩浆、构造、地层、流体、成矿时代等因素,初步将中国钼矿划分为17个大的矿床集中区(矿集区),简单介绍了矿集区的基本地质特征和成矿特征,给出了几个最重要矿集区的区域成矿模式,同时根据已有资料和找矿新进展,对主要钼矿矿集区进行了资源潜力分析,并对中国钼矿找矿工作提出了建议。     

Geological characteristics of the Sizhuang gold deposit in the region of Jiaodong, Shandong Province——A study on tectono-geochemical ore prospecting of ore deposits

Tectono-geochemical samples were systematically collected from 5 drillcores along the No. 304 explora-tion line and at the -310 m level under the pit in the mining area, totalling 705 samples from the metamorphic rocks, granites, altered rocks and orebodies, and were determined for their contents of 20 kinds of elements including Au, Ag, As, Sb, Hg, Cu,,Pb, Zn, Sn, Bi, Mo, Co, Ni, Mn, Cr, V, Ti, Ba, Rb, Sr, etc. By using the Surfer software the geochemical exploration line profile maps for the 20 kinds of elements and the curves for the element geochemical contents of individual ore vein groups were established. In conbination with the geochemical map analytical method and Gregorian’s zoning index calculation method, the vertical, longitudinal and lateral zonation sequences of the elements were ascertained and the geochemical three-dimentional zonation model of the primary halos was estab-lished on the basis of the analysis of metallogenic structures and alteration zonation. Coupled with the results of analysis of the geology and geochemistry data, it may be concluded that the process of alteration of granites in the mining area is also accompanied with the process of gold enrichment and mineralization. With the intensification of alteration of granites from granite →potash feldspathization granite →sericite-quartz alteration granite, seric-ite-quartz rocks →beresitized granite, pyrite sericite-quartz rock, silicified granite →gold ore, the contents of thio-phile ore-forming elements such as Au, Ag, As, Cu, Bi, Mo, Pb, Sb, Hg, and Sn tended to increase. Factor analysis of trace elements indicated: factor F2 (Au, Ag, Cu, Sn, As) represents the element association brought in at the main stage of hydrothermal metallogenesis; factor F4 (Bi, Sb) and factor F5 (Pb, Zn) represent the ore-forming element association supperposed during the late stage of Au-bearing sulfides. By using the Gregorian’s zoning index and map analysis method we have ascertained the primary halo axial zonation sequence (form frontal halo →tail halo): Pb, Zn, Mn, Ba, Sr, Rb, As, Sb, Ag, Cu, Sn, Mo, Au, Bi, Hg, Ti, Cr, V, Ni, and Co. The geochemical anomalies in the mining area display a tendency of lateral plunging to WS, which is consistent with the lateral plunging of orebodies and mineralization alteration zone. Comprehensive analysis of the results of investigations on ore-controlling structures, mineralization-alteration zonation and geochemical zonation of the primary halos indicates that the gold orebodies in this area are still of greater extension.     

西藏当雄地区拉屋矿床磁黄铁矿Re-Os同位素测年 和成矿物质来源示踪

拉屋矿床位于西藏自治区当雄县境内,大地构造位置处于冈底斯成矿区申扎-旁多铜、银、铅、锌、金成矿带,为大型矽卡岩型铜铅多金属矿床。在系统研究拉屋矿床地质地球化学特征的基础上,以矿石的磁黄铁矿为对象,测定Re-Os同位素年龄,获得等时线年龄数据为(309±31)Ma,187Os/188Os的初始值为0.51±0.12,γOs值为306.90~880.29,Re/Os为20.46~80.46。上述结果,结合矿区野外地质特征和稳定同位素特征,证明拉屋矿床主要形成于晚石炭世来故期,其成矿物质来源于地幔,并在喷流过程中与地壳海底卤水汇合,遭受了壳源物质的混染,形成喷流成因矽卡岩型矿床。     

滇中郝家河砂岩型铜矿床成矿作用过程的流体包裹体证据

通过对牟定郝家河砂岩型铜矿床的不同结构构造及矿化类型岩石中矿物包裹体特征的研究及对比,认为不同结构构造及矿化类型岩石的形成与不同成岩-成矿阶段流体的演化特点密切相关。流体包裹体测温数据表明其成矿作用主要经历3个成矿流体演化阶段:成岩期(均一温度:84℃~162℃)、主改造期(均一温度:145℃~227℃)及次改造期(均一温度:129℃~177℃)。3期流体的盐度变化不大,多处于4%~10%之间,而它们的气相成分主要为H2O,其次为CH4和CO2。成岩期流体演化形成了砂岩铜矿的初始矿源层及贫矿体,矿化程度高的地方甚至形成浸染状或纹层状矿石;改造-成矿期的流体则在原来基础上进一步演化形成现今受构造控制的条带状、脉状富矿体。

甘珠尔庙银多金属矿区地处内蒙大兴安岭东坡南段,位于黄岗梁一甘珠尔庙铜多金属成矿带北东部、白音诺一甘珠尔庙银铜多金属成矿亚带的北东段。矿体具有品位高而不均,厚度相对较薄而密集分布的特点,构造及其节理裂隙控矿作用明显,矿体视电阻率和视充电率异常表现为低阻高极化组合特征,推测密集蚀变脉群的深部可能存在与本区成矿有关的隐伏岩体,在进一步找矿工作中应加以重视。同时,在各矿化脉体的深部交汇部位是找矿的最有利部位,在今后找矿中应加强该部位的钻探验证工作。
