柴达木盆地北缘中新生代热演化及其对铀成矿的意义

文章在阐述柴达木盆地北缘砂岩型铀矿成矿地质特征的基础上,以磷灰石裂变径迹特征分析为依据,系统研究了该地区中新生代热演化及其与砂岩型铀矿成矿作用的关系。资料显示,区内中侏罗统具备较好的铀成矿条件,成矿类型以层间氧化带型和潜水氧化带型为主。磷灰石裂变径迹分析结果表明,样品的平均径迹长度为(11.71±0.17)μm±1σ~(12.58±0.18)μm±1σ,说明均经历过退火作用;样品的表观年龄为64.4~85Ma,说明区内构造活动具有多期、多阶段特点;基于裂变径迹的t-T曲线模拟结果表明,自120Ma以来,该地区的构造演化可以分为挤压隆升、断陷沉降、快速抬升3个阶段。因此,认为区内砂岩型铀矿主体应是早白垩世早期-古新世早期挤压隆升阶段形成的古矿体。现今的找矿方向,应是在活动强度相对较弱的构造活化区中寻找残留铀矿体,同时注重深部找矿。     

湘南粤北铅锌矿床闪锌矿的标型特征及指示意义

湘南粤北位于南岭成矿带中段,是我国最重要的铅锌矿集区之一。本文选取湘南粤北地区MVT和岩浆热液型两类铅锌矿床的闪锌矿样品,对闪锌矿的形态、结构、化学成分、硫同位素组成、流体包裹体成分等进行系统研究,分析其成矿温度、硫的来源和成矿流体特征,为揭示成矿作用提供可靠依据。研究结果表明:MVT铅锌矿床成矿作用发生在中低温、氧化-弱还原、较低压力环境,硫主要来源于容矿地层,成矿流体主要来自于热卤水和沉积物变质脱水;岩浆热液型铅锌矿床成矿作用发生在中高温、弱还原、较高压力条件下,硫源主要以岩浆硫为主,成矿流体早期以岩浆热液为主,晚期为混合流体。结合矿体与岩体的形成时间、空间分布、大地构造背景,认为岩浆热液型铅锌矿床由燕山早期(180~150 Ma)古太平洋向大陆俯冲、岩石圈加厚,爆发大规模花岗质岩浆岩侵位,导致铅锌成矿;MVT铅锌矿床由燕山晚期(130~90 Ma)欧亚大陆岩石圈伸展减薄产生的岩浆热液叠加改造泥盆系的原始矿源层形成。     

He-Ar-S-Pb Isotopic Compositions of Pyrite: Constraints on the Source of Ore-forming Materials of the Chengchao Skarn Iron Deposit, SE Hubei Province, Eastern China

The Chengchao iron deposit,the largest high-grade skarn iron deposit in southeastern Hubei Province,contains considerable amounts of magnetite and by-product anhydrite.To obtain better understanding of the ore-formation process,this study carried out He-Ar-S-Pb multi-isotopic analyses on the pyrites formed during two stages of mineralization.The results indicate that the δ~(34)S values(ranging from 14.0‰ to 17.6‰) of pyrites formed from the two stages have no obvious differences,suggesting that they were not derived from a single magmatic sulfur source.The δ~(34)S values of anhydrite mostly range from 21.9‰ to 28.4‰,similar to that of the Middle Triassic sedimentary anhydrite in the Middle-Lower Yangtze River metallogenic belt(MLYRB).The Pb isotopic compositions of the pyrites of both stages are homogeneous,with values of ~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb,~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb,and~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb being 38.006-38.257,15.523-15.556,and 17.806-18.052,respectively,indicating a mixed crust-mantle source.The He-Ar results exhibit different compositions of the two stages:the ~3He/~4He(R/Ra) and ~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar values for the early-stage pyrite are 0.46-0.63 and 311-322,respectively,whereas the values for late-stage pyrite are 0.23-0.34 and 305-361,respectively.Both stages of pyrites indicate the multiple sources of the ore-forming fluids,with decreasing amount of magmatic water and increasing amount of modified meteoric water(MASW) during fluid evolution.The Triassic evaporites played an important role in the mineralization process.     

东天山三宫铜镍矿化岩体年代学、岩石地球化学特征及对Cu-Ni找矿的启示

三宫岩体是近几年新发现的铜镍矿化镁铁-超镁铁岩体,位于哈尔里克山东段。岩石类型主要为辉长岩、斜长辉石岩和含长橄榄辉石岩,局部有零星铜镍矿化。锆石U-Pb谐和年龄为(281.7±2.6)Ma,表明岩体形成于早二叠世。样品MgO与FeO~T呈正相关关系,与CaO、SiO_2和Al_2O_3之间呈负相关关系,岩体主量元素成分主要受橄榄石和单斜辉石含量的控制;样品明显富集轻稀土元素(La/Yb)N=5.02~7.04,重稀土元素之间具有明显的分馏(Gd/Yb)N=2.36~2.87,δEu为0.98~1.09多具弱的正铕异常,富集大离子亲石元素(Cs、Sr、Ba),相对亏损高场强元素,具明显的Nb、Ta、Ti负异常。Sr-Nd同位素模拟计算表明母岩浆上升过程中遭受了约10%的下地壳物质混染。岩浆源区遭受了明显的熔体交代作用,部分熔融主要发生在石榴子石稳定域。综合区域构造演化历史认为三宫岩体形成于后碰撞伸展环境,该岩体的发现初步表明哈尔里克地区也具有寻找早二叠世铜镍矿的潜力。

The Cretaceous Ofuku Pluton and Its Relation to Mineralization in the Western Akiyoshi Plateau,Yamaguchi Prefecture,Japan

The relationship between the magmatism of the Cretaceous Ofuku pluton and mineralization in and around the Akiyoshi Plateau, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan was investigated using a combination of field observation, petrographic and geochemical analyses, K–Ar geochronology, and fluid inclusion data. The Ofuku pluton has a surface area of 1.5 × 1.0 km, and was intruded into the Paleozoic accretionary complexes of the Akiyoshi Limestone, Ota Group and Tsunemori Formation in the western part of the Akiyoshi Plateau. The pluton belongs to the ilmenite‐series and is zoned, consisting mainly of early tonalite and granodiorite that share a gradational contact, and later granite and aplite that intruded the tonalite and granodiorite. Harker diagrams show that the Ofuku pluton has intermediate to silicic compositions ranging from 60.4 to 77.9 wt.% SiO₂, but a compositional gap exists between 70.5 to 73.4 wt.% SiO₂ (anhydrous basis). Modal and chemical variations indicate that the assumed parental magma is tonalitic. Quantitative models of fractional crystallization based on mass balance calculations and the Rayleigh fractionation model using major and trace element data for all crystalline phases indicate that magmatic fractionation was controlled mainly by crystal fractionation of plagioclase, hornblende, clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene at the early stage, and quartz, plagioclase, biotite, hornblende, apatite, ilmenite and zircon at the later stage. The residual melt extracted from the granodiorite mush was subsequently intruded into the northern and western parts of the Ofuku pluton as melt lens to form the granite and aplite. The age of the pluton was estimated at 99–97 Ma and 101–98 Ma based on K–Ar dating of hornblende and biotite, respectively. Both ages are consistent within analytical error, indicating that the Ofuku pluton and the associated Yamato mine belong to the Tungsten Province of the San‐yo Belt, which is genetically related to the ilmenite‐series granitoids of the Kanmon to Shunan stages. The aplite contains Cl‐rich apatite and REE‐rich monazite‐(Ce), allanite‐(Ce), xenotime and bastnäsite‐(Ce), indicating that the residual melt was rich in halogens and REEs. The tonalite–granodiorite of the Ofuku pluton contains many three‐phase fluid inclusions, along with daughter minerals such as NaCl and KCl, and vapor/liquid (V/L) volume ratios range from 0.2 to 0.9, suggesting that the fluid was boiling. In contrast, the granite and aplite contain low salinity two‐phase inclusions with low V/L ratios. The granodiorite occupies a large part of the pluton, and the inclusions with various V/L ratios with chloride daughter minerals suggest the boiling fluids might be related to the mineralization. This fluid could have carried base metals such as Cu and Zn, forming Cu ore deposits in and around the Ofuku pluton. The occurrence and composition of fluid inclusions in the igneous rocks from the Akiyoshi Plateau are directly linked to Cu mineralization in the area, demonstrating that fluid inclusions are useful indicators of mineralization.     

铁锰结核结壳生长过程的一种理论假设

铁锰结核成矿物质的直接来源是大洋底层水和沉积物孔隙水，结壳只有底层水，因此，底层水和孔隙水的物理化学特征就成为理解铁锰结核（壳）成矿作用特征与过程的关键。铁锰结核（壳）内部构造的两个明显特征是：①韵律性的环状纹层构造，和②树枝状构造，这两种构造是典型的远离平衡的非线性地质作用的产物。正常情况下，海底水—沉积物界面系统的底层水、孔隙水中Ｍｎ、Ｆｅ是不饱和的。因此，铁锰结核（壳）不可能在平衡状态下连续生长。本文提出铁锰结核（壳）生长的自反馈“振荡式”模型。

Timing of mineralization and deformation,Peak Au mine,Cobar, New South Wales∗

The ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of alteration muscovite from the Peak Au mine in the Early Devonian Cobar Basin, New South Wales, has distinguished two major episodes of mineralization. Veined (Pb‐Zn‐Cu‐Au) mineralization was broadly synchronous with cleavage formation during the post‐inversion, shortening deformation of the basin sedimentary rocks, and replacive Ag‐Pb‐Zn mineralization significantly postdates the latter event. Veined base metals (Pb‐Zn‐Cu) and Au associated with silicification were coeval with three stages of cleavage formation (D₁, D₂ and D₃) after basin inversion. The Cu‐Au phase of mineralization at the Peak Au mine which was broadly contemporaneous with the culmination of the cleavage‐forming events (D₃) and with the local development of high‐strain zones occurred at 401.5 ± 1.0 Ma (⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar on muscovite). This date is essentially coeval with known fossil constraints on the age of basin formation, and indicates that basin inversion and deformation rapidly followed sedimentation. In contrast, replacive Ag‐Pb‐Zn mineralization occurred at 384.0 ± 1.4 Ma (⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar on muscovite) during an extended period of relaxation characterized by normal faulting (D₄) which followed the shortening deformation. This mineralization was associated with desilicification and chlorite‐muscovite replacement assemblages which cross‐cut the cleavages, and which may have been broadly contemporaneous with the deposition of part of the Mulga Downs Group which unconformably overlies the Cobar Supergroup. Rhyolite exposed in the core of the Peak Au mine largely contains inherited zircons that range in age from ～430–1500 Ma. A few euhedral zircons have an age of ～430 Ma and this is interpreted as a maximum date for the rock. Zircons from a syn‐D₃ chlorite‐muscovite replacement zone within the deposit have ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages of ～410–650 Ma and are apparently inherited.
