The petrology and mineralogy of the pegmatite complex at Bismuth,Torrington, N.S.W.

The pegmatite complex of epi‐Permian age at Bismuth near Torrington, N.S.W., consists of an elongated intrusion of a granitoid quartz‐topaz rock (silexite) together with a series of pegmatites of varying composition. The principal pegmatite consists of orthoclase, biotite, quartz and beryl with concentric zoning passing outwards into fine‐grained biotite‐beryl rock containing a number of ore minerals: arsenides of Co, Fe and Ni, wolframite, bismuth, bismuthinite, molybdenite, joseite, cassiterite, rutile, uraninite and monazite. Small pegmatite veins issuing from this main body contain, in addition to the silicate minerals, high temperature tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite. A second group is characterised by quartz, orthoclase and beryl with occasional patches of tourmaline.

Emplacement at no great depth is indicated by breccia veins and stock‐works filled with pegmatite.

The origin of a silica hydromagma is considered in terms of existing experimental work and in terms of field occurrence. Structural evidence suggests that the quartzose intrusion preceded the injection of the pegmatite fluids, both being derived from the parent Mole biotite granite.     

Stable isotope,petrological, and fluid inclusion studies of minor mineral deposits from the McArthur Basin: Implications for the genesis of some sediment‐hosted base metal mineralization from the Northern Territory

The geology, stable isotopes and fluid inclusions from mineralized and unmineralized Middle Proterozoic sequences of the McArthur Basin, Northern Territory, have been studied at Eastern Creek, Bulman Mines, Beetle Springs, and other localities in the McArthur Basin where disseminated sulphides in unmineralized black shales were available from drill core. At Eastern Creek, galena and minor chalcopyrite (δ³⁴S+3.6 to +11.2%o) occur in an evaporitic sedimentary sequence. Barite (δ³⁴S+18.4 to +24.7%o) also occurs, and saline brines are trapped along healed fractures in the barite. Pressure‐corrected trapping temperatures in the barite (95–138°C), and in vein dolomite (158–168°C) agree with temperature estimates from the degree of maturation of the sedimentary organic matter. The δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C_Co2 values of the mineralizing fluid were calculated to be +3.5 to +4.5%o and ‐2.7%o, respectively. Sedimentary dolomite has restricted δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O ranges, within the reported ranges for non‐mineralized Middle Proterozoic dolomite. An ore formation model developed for Eastern Creek, in which a basinal fluid at about 200°C carrying base metals and sulphide was released from underlying sediments during local fault movement, may be applicable to a number of other deposits. The mineralization deposited from these fluids occurs only below the pre‐Roper Group unconformity, implying that it may be older than the basal Roper Group. The δ³⁴S values of iron sulphides in fine grained black dolostones (not associated with mineral deposits) from the McArthur Basin were assessed in the light of the values found for sulphides in modern organic‐rich sedimentary environments. The data so obtained suggest that the considerable concentration of iron sulphide in the mineral deposits formed, at least in part, from heated basinal waters and that disseminated iron sulphides remote from mineralization also formed from a similar source.

安徽天井山金矿成矿流体特征及成矿过程初探

本文在矿床地质调研的基础上,通过主要矿石和蚀变岩石的岩矿相、SEM/EDS、流体包裹体岩相学、显微测温和成分分析,对天井山金矿成矿流体特征、流体来源及成矿过程进行了研究.结果表明,金矿化主要发育于石英脉中,少数产于蚀变围岩中,矿区蚀变以硅化、绢云母化最为发育,另发育含铁碳酸盐化、绿泥石化、黄铁矿化、黄铜矿化、方铅矿化、闪锌矿化等.金矿化发生于石英脉形成后的脆性变形阶段,与之相关的蚀变以绢云母化为主,其次为含铁碳酸盐化和硫化物矿化.金主要以自然金的形式与绢云母共生于石英脉的裂隙中或蚀变围岩中.通过与绢云母同期的流体包裹体研究表明,与金矿化有关的成矿流体为富水、含CO2的中高温(286～380℃)、低盐度流体(3.0％～5.1％,NaCleq,质量分数),单个流体包裹体的LA-ICP-MS成分分析表明,成矿流体中富含Pb、Zn、Cu、Bi、Mo、Sb等金属元素.综合流体包裹体中水的H同位素组成和流体成分特征,成矿流体主要为岩浆水的贡献.含CO2的岩浆流体沿活化的先期断裂上升并发生流体沸腾,在流体沸腾过程中CO2进入气相而改变了流体的pH值,造成金和其它金属硫化物的沉淀,同时形成石英裂隙中和围岩中的绢云母化、含铁碳酸盐化等蚀变.

Genesis of the Zhaokalong Fe-Cu Polymetallic Deposit at Yushu, China:Evidence from Ore Geochemistry and Fluid Inclusions

The ore types of the Zhaokalong Fe-Cu deposit are divided into two categories: sulfide-type and oxide-type. The sulfide-type ore include siderite ore, galena-sphalerite ore and chalcopyrite ore, whereas the oxide-type ore include magnetite ore and hematite ore. The ore textures and structures indicate that the Zhaokalong deposit is of the sedimentary-exhalative mineralization type. Geochemical analyses show that the two ore types have a high As, Sb, Mn, Co and Ni content. The REE patterns reveal an enrichment of the LREE compared to the HREE. Isotopic analysis of siderite ore reveal that the δ13CPDB ranges from 2.01 to 3.34 (‰) whereas the δ18O SMOW ranges from 6.96 to 18.95 (‰). The fluid inclusion microthermometry results indicate that homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions in quartz range from 131 to 181℃, with salinity values of 1.06 to 8.04 wt% NaCl eq. The mineralizing fluid therefore belongs to the low temperature - low salinity system, with a mineralizing solution of a CO2-Ca2+(Na+, K+)-SO42-(F-, Cl-)-H2O system. The geochemical results and fluid inclusion data provide additional evidence that the Zhaokalong deposit is a sedex-type deposit that experienced two stages of mineralization. The sulfide mineralization probably occurred first, during the sedimentary exhalative process, as exhibited by the abundance of marine materials associated with the sulfide ores, indicating a higher temperature and relatively deoxidized oceanic depositional environment. After the main exhalative stage, hydrothermal activity was superimposed to the sulfide mineralization. The later stage oxide mineralization occurred in a low temperature and relatively oxidized environment, in which magmatic fluid circulation was dominant.     

南天山萨瓦亚尔顿金矿床稀土微量元素特征及其成因意义

萨瓦亚尔顿金矿位于新疆乌恰县的南天山构造带中,是我国20世纪90年代发现的第一例“穆龙套型”金矿.矿床形成于印支期,矿化与石英脉密切相关,显示了与穆龙套金矿的相似性.成矿流体演化经历了早期高温无矿化石英阶段,中期中低温矿化石英阶段,晚期低温碳酸盐脉阶段.早期无矿石英的稀土及微量元素含量均低于矿化石英.矿化石英包体中流体的稀土元素配分模式显示较一致的轻稀土富集和Eu正异常,指示流体中较高的钙离子或相对还原环境;流体中Pb含量较高,而蚀变强烈的围岩则显示出明显的Ca和Pb流失,这表明成矿流体可能部分来源于与围岩发生交代作用的蚀变流体,矿质沉淀可能与流体混合作用相关.早期石英包体中流体的稀土和微量元素含量较低则指示早期阶段可能未发生流体混合.萨瓦亚尔顿Ⅳ号矿脉为最大矿带,其含矿石英包体中流体微量元素一般高于其它矿脉石英,可能显示较强的流体混合及成矿作用.Ⅱ号矿脉在流体稀土及微量元素含量上显示与Ⅳ脉更为相似.萨瓦亚尔顿金矿稀土微量元素研究表明围岩组分可能为成矿流体主要来源之一,而流体混合则为成矿重要机制,这与前期流体包裹体及同位素研究结论一致,也符合造山型金矿的一般特征.

青海大场金矿田位于可可西里-巴颜喀拉晚古生代-中生代浊积盆地褶断带内,是川陕甘交接地区的一个超大型矿田.矿床受NW向构造破碎蚀变带控制,赋矿围岩为三叠系炭质砂板岩,矿石矿物主要为黄铁矿、毒砂和辉锑矿,脉石矿物主要为石英、长石和方解石.金的赋存状态以微细粒金为主.大场金矿田矿石中流体包裹体主要为盐水溶液包裹体(W型)、少量的含CO2包裹体(C型)和富CO2包裹体(PC型)组成.成矿流体具有中低温(180～ 200℃)、低盐度(2％～ 5％ NaCleqv)、成矿深度为7.9 ～ 12.3km的特征.气、液相成分测定显示气相成分以N2、CO2 O2、H2O为主;液相成分中阳离子以Ca2+、Na+、Li+、K+为主,阴离子以富SO42-、Cl-、NO3-、F-为特点,成矿流体属Ca2++ Na++SO42-型,有机碳参与了流体成矿作用.氢氧同位素组成分别为δD=-62％～-106％,δ18OH2O=3.1％～ 10.5％,说明成矿流体主要为建造水,也有岩浆流体的加入.根据大场金矿田成矿地质背景、流体特征及演化和成矿的构造背景和机制,本文首次提出大场金矿为类卡林型金矿,为研究该区金矿成矿作用提供了参考.
