Re-Os Age of Cu-Ni Ores from the Huangshandong Cu-Ni Sulfide Deposit in the East Tianshan Mountains and Its Implication for Geodynamic Processes

An isochron age of 282±20 (95% conf. limit) Ma of the sulfide ores in the Huangshandong Cu-Ni sulfide deposit, the East Tianshan Mountains has been obtained through Re-Os isotopic measurement. The age implies that the Cu-Ni sulfide deposit and other related deposits in the same area occurred in a Permian extensional environment of post-collision instead of Devonian-Early Carboniferous ophiolite-related oceanic or island arc environments inferred before. It shares the same ages with the orogenic and epithermal gold deposit systems in the same area. An initial 187Os/188Os ratio of 0.25±0.04 (1σ) and a γos value of 99 on average display the participation of large quantities of crustal components into the rock-forming and ore-forming system during mineralization and magmatic emplacement.     

浙江新昌地幔岩捕虏体中的硫化物包裹体初步研究

浙江新昌一带晚第三纪碱性玄武岩中地幔岩（二辉橄榄岩）捕虏体内存在大量硫化物熔体包裹体。电子探针分析表明,硫化物相成分主要为镍黄铁矿,次为磁共铁矿。硫化物包裹体的Ｎｉ／Ｆｅ值与寄主地幔岩的橄榄石含量呈正相关。同一包裹体的硫化物相成分不均一,自中心至边缘硫化物的Ｎｉ／Ｆｅ、（Ｆｅ＋Ｎｉ）／Ｓ值和Ｎｉ呈均呈增加趋势。通过与中国汉诺坝、德国ＷｅｓｔＥｉｆｅｌ东欧Ｎｏｇｒａｄ－Ｇｏｍｏｒ地区资料的综合分析,     

红旗岭3号含矿岩体地质年龄及其岩石学特征

以1号和7号岩体为代表的红旗岭铜镍硫化物矿床,是兴蒙造山带中典型的岩浆熔离型矿床。矿区内共有30多个镁铁-超镁铁质岩体,3号岩体是其中的含矿岩体,多年来因其地质产状与主要含矿岩体不同被认为形成于燕山期。本次工作对采自不同深度岩心样品中的单矿物角闪石进行⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar同位素年代学研究,得到（228.2±3.0 ）Ma的坪年龄和（230.1±7.1）Ma的等时线年龄。该年龄和近年发表的红旗岭1号岩体地质年龄基本一致,说明它们均为早印支期岩浆作用的产物。通过对比分析1号和7号主含矿岩体与3号岩体的岩石地球化学特征发现,无论是稀土元素还是微量元素图解均显示了它们具有相同的配分模式,暗示了这些岩体的同源性特点。     

新疆坡北铜镍矿床铂族元素特征及其对成矿过程的约束

坡北铜镍矿床位于塔里木克拉通东北缘,矿石类型主要为星点状和稀疏浸染状,二者之间呈渐变过渡关系。矿石∑PGE含量较低,变化范围为2.47×10-9~404.17×10-9;S与Ni之间相关性较差,与Cu、Ir、Ru、Rh、Pt、Pd之间除个别样品外均呈较好的正相关性,表明铂族元素主要赋存于硫化物中。在铂族元素相关性图解上,Ir与Ru、Rh之间呈明显的正相关性,与Pd之间相关性较差,Pd与Ru、Rh、Pt之间均呈很好的正相关性,表明硫化物熔离后未发生明显的单硫化物固溶体（MSS）的分离结晶。100%硫化物计算后,矿石∑PGE平均含量为2 806.9×10-9,原始地幔标准化图解呈Pd、Pt略富集的左倾型,相对于Ni、Cu明显亏损铂族元素。模拟计算表明坡北矿床多数样品硫化物熔离时“R”因子变化范围为50~500,母岩浆中Ru含量约为0.56×10-9,Pd含量为3.6×10-9。研究表明导致铂族元素亏损的主要原因是岩浆源区残留有少量硫化物,成矿过程中深部携带硫化物珠滴的岩浆进入现存空间时岩浆流动速度较慢,硫化物聚集过程中流动分异作用微弱,限制了硫化物的聚集,使硫化物较为分散,可能是导致该矿床金属品位较低的主要原因。     

Genesis of the Huangshannan high-Ni tenor magmatic sulfide deposit in the Eastern Tianshan,northwest China: Constraints from PGE geochemistry and Os–S isotopes

The Huangshannan magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide deposit is one of a group of Permian magmatic Ni-Cu deposits located in the southern Central Asian Orogenic belt in the Eastern Tianshan, northwest China. It is characterized by elevated Ni tenor (concentrations in recalculated 100% sulfide) in sulfide within ultramafic rocks (9–19 wt%), with values much higher than other deposits in the region. Sulfides of the Huangshannan deposit are composed of pentlandite, chalcopyrite, and pyrrhotite and the host rock is relatively fresh, indicating that the high-Ni tenor is a primary magmatic feature rather than formed by alteration processes. It is shown that sulfides with high-Ni tenor can be generated by sulfide-olivine equilibrium at an oxygen fugacity of QFM +0.5, for magmas containing 450 ppm Ni and 20% olivine. Ores with >10 wt% sulfur have relatively low PGE and Ni tenors compared to other ores, R factor (mass ratio of silicate to sulfide liquid) modeling of Ni indicates that they formed at moderate R values (150–600). Based on this constraint on R values, ores with <10 wt% sulfides in the Huangshannan deposit can be segregated from a similar parental magma with 0.05 ppb Os, 0.023 ppb Ir, and 0.5 ppb Pd at R values between 600 and 3000. This, coupled with the supra-cotectic proportions of sulfide liquid to cumulus silicates in the Huangshannan ores imply mechanical transport and deposition of sulfide liquid in a magma pathway or conduit, in which sulfides must have interacted with large volumes of silicate magma. Platinum and Pd depletion relative to other platinum group elements (PGEs) are observed in fresh and sulfide-rich samples (S > 4.5 wt%). As sulfide-rich samples are also depleted in Cu, and as interstitial sulfides in those samples are physically interconnected at a scale of several cms, the low Pt and Pd anomalies are attributed to solid Pt and Pd phases crystallization and retention with the monosulfide solid solution (MSS) and Cu-rich sulfide liquid percolation during MSS fractionation. This finding indicates that Pt anomalies in sulfide-rich rocks from magmatic Ni-Cu deposits in the Eastern Tianshan are the result of sulfide fractionation rather than a hydrothermal effect. ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os_(278Ma) values of the lherzolite samples vary from 0.27 to 0.37 and γOs_(278Ma) values vary from 110 to 189, indicating significant magma interaction with crustal sulfides, rich in radiogenic Os. Well constrained γOs values and δ³⁴S values (−0.4 to 0.8‰) indicate that crustal contamination occurred at depth before the arrival of the magma in the Huangshannan chamber. Regionally, deposits with high-Ni tenor have not been reported other than the Huangshannan deposit; however, many intrusions with high-Ni contents in olivine are present in NW China, such as the Erhongwa, Poyi and Poshi intrusions. Those intrusions are capable of forming high-Ni tenor sulfides due to olivine-sulfide-silicate equilibrium and relative high-Ni content in parent magma, making them attractive exploration targets.     

东天山黄山西含铜镍矿镁铁-超镁铁岩体岩浆地幔源区特征研究

新疆黄山-镜儿泉铜镍成矿带位于中亚造山带东天山晚古生代造山带,铜镍总储量达百万吨,是我国仅次于金川硫化物矿床的铜镍矿基地.黄山西铜镍矿床是该成矿带内一个大型矿床,Cu平均品位是0.31％,总储量18.8×104t,Ni平均品位是0.49％,总储量32×104t.黄山西岩体岩石地球化学特征与塔里木大火成岩省镁铁-超镁铁侵入岩和玄武岩存在明显差异;较之塔里木大火成岩省镁铁-超镁铁岩体( 269～ 274Ma),黄山-镜儿泉铜镍成矿带镁铁-超镁铁岩体的形成更早(274～298Ma);此外,成矿带内并没有早二叠溢流玄武岩大量出露.黄山西岩体各岩相的MORB标准化微量元素蛛网图显示明显的Nb、Ta、Ti负异常,(87Sr/86Sr)269Ma值较低(0.7034～0.7037),而εNd(269Ma)较高(5.14～ 7.14),这些地球化学特征难以用地壳混染来解释,而显示其原始岩浆来自于交代地幔的部分熔融,表明原始岩浆可能形成于活动大陆边缘.然而,黄山西岩体的岩相学特征与阿拉斯加型岩体存在差别,因此,不能排除交代地幔的部分熔融发生于碰撞造山后的伸展阶段的可能,软流圈的上涌可能起到重要作用.     

晚二叠世峨眉山地幔柱岩浆成矿作用

晚二叠世峨眉山地幔柱岩浆作用同时形成了Cu-Ni-PGE硫化物矿床和V-Ti-Fe氧化物矿床等不同类型的岩浆矿床。从硫化物矿床的PGE富集型、Cu-Ni-PGE富集型到Cu-Ni富集型,再到钒钛磁铁矿矿床,成矿基性-超基性岩体中基性岩石比例逐渐增加,PGE含量降低。铜镍铂族硫化物矿床具Nb和Ta负异常,岩浆流体组分含量较高,含有较高的H₂;而钒钛磁铁矿矿床具Nb、Ta和Ti正异常,Zr和Hf负异常,岩浆流体组分含量较低,含有较高的H₂O、CO₂和H₂。两类矿床强不相容元素和轻稀土元素(LREE)富集,Sr-Nd同位素组成与峨眉山玄武岩的演化趋势一致。Sr-Nd-Os-C-He同位素组成揭示岩浆上升过程中经历了不同程度的地壳混染,高钛玄武岩和钒钛磁铁矿矿床成矿岩体的地壳混染程度较低,部分低钛玄武岩和铜镍硫化物矿床存在明显的地壳混染。这两类岩浆矿床的形成与峨眉山地幔柱玄武岩浆有关,岩浆介质环境中H₂含量较高,V-Ti-Fe 氧化物矿床的形成与分离结晶、高含量的水和氧逸度的升高有关,Cu-Ni-(PGE)硫化物矿床的形成与还原性流体介质、结晶分异和地壳混染作用有关。     

中国西北部成矿地质特征及找矿新发现

西北地区地处中亚构造域和特提斯构造域的交汇处,中间夹有塔里木克拉通和华北克拉通的西段。地质历史上,两个克拉通及其裂解的微陆块的形成和运动史,基本约束了中国西北部的构造发展历程。围绕克拉通及微陆块的显生宙造山带基本是其周缘增生的结果,由于大陆运移,其他大陆边缘增生的产物,在早三叠世(210 Ma)大陆汇聚中也添加了进来,这些造山带及其陆块边缘的增生是西北各种内生金属矿床的重要形成背景。同时,新元古代、晚古生代陆内与地幔柱有关的大火成岩省的发育,为铜镍等重要矿床的形成提供了条件。此外,在克拉通及其微陆块形成和后期的叠生盆地中,形成了重要的沉积和沉积变质矿床。西北地区近年来重要找矿发现,不断印证了西北克拉通边缘板块构造增生和板内幔源构造岩浆作用成矿的特点,并对传统的地质背景构造认识提出了挑战。这其中,最具经济价值和地质意义的是3个超大型金属矿床的发现:西天山早石炭世阿吾拉勒火山-次火山岩浆喷溢型磁铁矿矿床、东昆仑早泥盆世夏日哈木岩浆深部熔离-贯入型铜镍矿床和西昆仑侏罗—白垩纪火烧云构造热液型铅锌矿床。阿吾拉勒磁铁矿矿床是中国首例火山-次火山岩浆喷溢型磁铁矿矿床,可与智利的拉科超大型典型磁铁矿矿床对比,且更具有经济价值,该矿床的勘查和研究为深入理解中亚造山带天山及其邻区石炭纪裂谷型火山岩浆作用与成矿提供了研究的范例;夏日哈木铜镍矿是中国近年来最重要的铜镍矿发现,探明镍资源量已达百万吨以上,该矿床的发现为查明中国早古生代末期新的岩浆铜镍成矿事件及其找矿潜力提供了研究新区;火烧云铅锌矿床是新近发现的具有超大型资源潜力的铅锌矿床,也是喀喇昆仑—三江造山带中蕴藏的中新生代巨型铅锌成矿带上最重要的成矿发现,为深化研究青藏高原东北缘巨型铅锌成矿带的成矿物质来源和构造控矿机制提供了新的基地。
