新疆喀拉通克铜镍硫化物矿床铂族矿物特征、成因及其形成过程

通过矿相学和电子探针研究发现,新疆喀拉通克矿床铂族矿物以Pt、Pd、Ni的碲化物、铋化物固溶体系列矿物为主,矿物分布不均匀,主要分布在块状矿石的磁黄铁矿、镍黄铁矿、黄铜矿等硫化物中,粒径多为3～5μm。矿物组合和相图分析显示,多数铂族矿物为岩浆熔离成因,个别矿物颗粒可能为热液叠加成矿的产物。岩浆中S不饱和时,PGE可能形成铂铑合金,局部氧逸度升高导致铬铁矿、磁铁矿等氧化物结晶,合金被早期结晶的硅酸盐矿物和氧化物包裹。硫化物熔离大量的PGE进入硫化物熔体,伴随硫化物熔体的分异,部分铂族矿物被包裹在单硫化物固溶体中;高温条件下结晶的Pd(+Pt,Ni)-Bi-Te固溶体系列矿物不稳定,随着温度的降低,Pd(+Pt,Ni)-Bi-Te固溶体出溶形成上述铂族矿物组合,MSS裂解铂族矿物被排出,岩浆热液可能形成少量具热液成因特征的铂族矿物。     

Compositional variations of several Early Permian magmatic sulfide deposits in the Kalatongke district,southern Altai,western China: With genetic and exploration implications

A Permian magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide deposit cluster occurs in the Kalatongke district in the Southern Chinese Altai Orogenic Belt, western China. These deposits are associated with the mafic units of the Y1, Y2, Y3, Y9 and G21 mafic-intermediate complexes. In this paper we report the first zircon U-Pb ages for the Y3 and G21 intrusions, which are 283.3 ± 1.3 Ma and 281.1 ± 1.5 Ma, respectively. Our new age data confirm that the sulfide-bearing mafic units of the Y1, Y2 (connected with Y1 at depth), Y3, Y9 and G21 intrusions all formed in Early Permian between ∼281 and ∼287 Ma. New and existing petrological-geochemical data show some important regular variations between these deposits. The host lithologies change from olivine-bearing rocks for the Y1-Y2-Y9 deposits to olivine-free rocks such as norite for the Y3 deposit and leucogabbro for the G21 deposit. The olivine Fo contents of the Y1 deposit are up to 82 mol%, which are slightly higher than those of the Y2 deposit (up to 81 mol%) and the Y9 deposit (up to 79 mol%). The average plagioclase An contents of the olivine-bearing Y1-Y2-Y9 deposits are higher than those of the olivine-free Y3-G21 deposits. Among the three deposits (Y1, Y2 and Y3) that occur closely along the same structural lineament, the Ni/Cu ratios of bulk sulfides decrease from the olivine-bearing deposits (Y1 and Y2) to the olivine-free deposit (Y3). The PGE tenors of these deposits (Y1, Y2 and Y3) and the nearby coeval deposits (Y9 and G21) are extremely low, indicating that their parental magmas are severely depleted in PGEs. The variations of PGE tenors within a single deposit as well as among the different deposits are mainly due to variable R factors. The host rocks of these deposits are all characterized by elevated initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios from 0.7045 to 0.7047, positive εNd values from 4.95 to 6.86, positive εHf values of zircon from 9 to 16, and elevated δ¹⁸O values of zircon from 6.15 to 6.7‰. The isotope data indicate that the parental magmas for these deposits experienced up to ∼15 wt% crustal contamination. The δ³⁴S values of the sulfide minerals from these deposits are from −3.1‰ to 0.4‰, with a peak at −2.2‰, indicating the involvement of crustal sulfur. The isotope data and mineral chemistry together indicate that both olivine fractional crystallization and addition of crustal sulfur played a role in triggering sulfide saturation in the parental magmas for these deposits. Based on higher Ni/Cu ratios of sulfide mineralization in the olivine-bearing intrusions (Y1, Y2, Y9) than in the coeval olivine-free intrusions (Y3, G21), we recommend that Ni exploration in the region focus on the olivine-bearing intrusions that were emplaced in the Early Permian.

Geochemistry of the Kalatongke Ni–Cu–(PGE) sulfide deposit,NW China: implications for the formation of magmatic sulfide mineralization in a postcollisional environment

The Kalatongke (also spelt as Karatungk) Ni–Cu–(platinum-group element, PGE) sulfide deposit, containing 33 Mt sulfide ore with a grade of 0.8 wt.% Ni and 1.3 wt.% Cu, is located in the Eastern Junggar terrane, Northern Xinjiang, NW China. The largest sulfide ore body, which occupies more than 50 vol.% of the intrusion Y1, is dominantly comprised of disseminated sulfide with a massive sulfide inner zone. Economic disseminated sulfides also occur at the base of the intrusions Y2 and Y3. The main host rock types are norite in the lower part and diorite in the upper part of each intrusion. Enrichment in large ion lithophile elements and depletion in heavy rare earth elements relative to mid-ocean ridge basalt indicate that the mafic intrusions were produced from magmas derived from a metasomatized garnet lherzolite mantle. The average grades of the disseminated ores are 0.6 wt.% Ni and 1.1 wt.% Cu, whereas those of the massive ores are 2 wt.% Ni and 8 wt.% Cu. The PGE contents of the disseminated ores (14–69 ppb Pt and 78–162 ppb Pd) are lower than those of the massive ores (120–505 ppb Pt and 30–827 ppb Pd). However, on the basis of 100% sulfide, PGE contents of the massive sulfides are lower than those of the disseminated sulfides. Very high Cu/Pd ratios (>4.5 × 10⁴) indicate that the Kalatongke sulfides segregated from PGE-depleted magma produced by prior sulfide saturation and separation. A negative correlation between the Cu/Pd ratio and the Pd content in 100% sulfide indicates that the PGE content of the sulfide is controlled by both the PGE concentrations in the parental silicate magma and the ratio of the amount of silicate to sulfide magma. The negative correlations between Ir and Pd indicate that the massive sulfides experienced fractionation.     

喀拉通克铜镍矿床硫同位素组成特征及其地质意义

硫同位素研究在喀拉通克岩体的地壳物质混染过程中有重要意义。通过对块状和浸染状矿石、斑点状和脉状矿石以及围岩中硫化物进行硫同位素测试,分析了黄铜矿、黄铁矿、磁黄铁矿的硫同位素在硫化物中的富集状态,探讨了喀拉通克铜镍矿床硫同位素组成特征及其地质意义。结果表明：块状矿石的同位素测定值与标准值之间的千分偏差δ（34S）为（-1.30～1.84）×10-3,浸染状矿石的δ（34S）为（-2.50～0.85）×10-3,脉状矿石的δ（34S）为（-1.54～3.00）×10-3,围岩中黄铁矿的δ（34S）为（-7.8～-3.3）×10-3;硫同位素在硫化物中的富集从大到小依次为黄铁矿、磁黄铁矿、黄铜矿,说明硫化物之间基本达到了硫同位素平衡;喀拉通克铜镍矿床的硫主要来自于地幔,只在岩浆熔离作用形成的浸染状矿石和岩浆后期热液阶段形成的脉状矿石以及晚期黄铁矿中有少量或局部地壳硫混染的痕迹;地壳硫的加入没有在岩浆源区发生,可能发生在岩浆上升并发生硫化物就地熔离的局部过程中,几乎不对硫饱和及硫化物的熔离产生影响;岩浆在地壳深部发生的橄榄石、铬铁矿等矿物的分离结晶作用,有可能是促使硫饱和与硫化物熔离的主要因素。

Ore Genesis of the Kalatongke Cu–Ni Sulfide Deposits, Western China: Constraints from Volatile Chemical and Carbon Isotopic Compositions

The Kalatongke Cu–Ni sulfide deposits located in the East Junggar terrane, northern Xinjiang, western China are the largest magmatic sulfide deposits in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). The chemical and carbon isotopic compositions of the volatiles trapped in olivine, pyroxene and sulfide mineral separates were analyzed by vacuum stepwise-heating mass spectrometry. The results show that the released volatiles are concentrated at three temperature intervals of 200–400°C, 400–900°C and 900–1200°C. The released volatiles from silicate mineral separates at 400–900°C and 900–1200°C have similar chemical and carbon isotopic compositions, which are mainly composed of H2O (av. ~92 mol%) with minor H2, CO2, H2S and SO2, and they are likely associated with the ore-forming magmatic volatiles. Light δ13CCO2 values (from ?20.86‰ to ?12.85‰) of pyroxene indicate crustal contamination occurred prior to or synchronous with pyroxene crystallization of mantle-derived ore-forming magma. The elevated contents of H2 and H2O in the olivine and pyroxene suggest a deep mantle-originated ore-forming volatile mixed with aqueous volatiles from recycled subducted slab. High contents of CO2 in the ore-forming magma volatiles led to an increase in oxygen fugacity, and thereby reduced the solubility of sulfur in the magma, then triggered sulfur saturation followed by sulfide melt segregation; CO2 contents correlated with Cu contents in the whole rocks suggest that a supercritical state of CO2 in the ore-forming magma system under high temperature and pressure conditions might play a key role in the assemblage of huge Cu and Ni elements. The volatiles released from constituent minerals of intrusion 1# have more CO2 and SO2 oxidized gases, higher CO2/CH4 and SO2/H2S ratios and lighter δ13CCO2 than those of intrusions 2# and 3#. This combination suggests that the higher oxidation state of the volatiles in intrusion 1# than intrusions 2# and 3#, which could be one of key ore-forming factors for large amounts of ores and high contents of Cu and Ni in intrusion 1#. The volatiles released at 200–400°C are dominated by H2O with minor CO2, N2+CO and SO2, with δ13CCO2 values (?25.66‰ to ?22.98‰) within the crustal ranges, and are considered to be related to secondary tectonic– hydrothermal activities.     

新疆喀拉通克铜镍矿镁铁质岩体形成时代、成矿特征与深部找矿前景

喀拉通克镁铁质岩体群位于准噶尔地块东北缘,由13个小岩体组成。在以往的研究中,这些岩体多被视为同期形成。笔者新获得的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄显示,镁铁质岩体群发育晚石炭世和早二叠世2个时期的岩体,其中Y3岩体闪长岩、苏长岩以及G21岩体淡色辉长岩的年龄分别为290 Ma、283 Ma和281 Ma,与Y1和Y9含矿岩体的年龄在误差范围内一致;Y5岩体辉长岩和闪长岩的年龄均为320 Ma,明显早于其他岩体。结合区域构造演化资料分析,晚石炭世Y5岩体是俯冲环境下岩浆作用的产物,这与以往研究较多的早二叠世后碰撞伸展环境下形成的岩体不同。在该矿区,具有工业价值的硫化物矿体主要赋存在Y1~Y3以及Y9岩体中,其中Y1和Y9岩体中富硫化物的矿体主要分布在岩体中部,而Y2和Y3岩体中矿体主要分布在底部的苏长岩中,在Y1-Y2以及Y2-Y3岩体结合部位均可见块状矿体。矿体空间分布及其与通道对应关系显示镁铁质含矿岩体可能形成于不同的岩浆通道系统或通道的不同部位。矿物学变化显示Y3、Y9和G21演化程度相对高于Y1和Y2岩体;同时,前者硫化物矿石多为中等稀疏浸染状和星点状,后者多为稠密浸染状和块状矿石,且前者浸染状矿石的Ni/Cu比值(0.15~2.00)总体小于后者(0.14~4.48)。上述特征表明含矿岩体的岩浆相对演化程度与矿化富集程度有一定的关系。综合分析地质、物探资料以及成矿特征,笔者认为Y1-Y3岩体深部仍具有寻找成矿岩体的潜力。G21岩体的演化程度较高,但具有与Y2、Y3岩体相似的重力异常和源区性质,推测该地段深部可能存在体积更大的岩体。     

新疆喀拉通克铜镍硫化物矿床Y9岩体年代学与成岩成矿机制探讨

新疆喀拉通克是中国大型铜镍硫化物矿床中基性程度最低的,显示出罕见的Cu平均品位大于Ni平均品位。矿区划分为南、北2个岩带,南岩带主要为原生矿,北岩带主要为氧化矿。文章研究对象为北岩带中的Y9岩体,近年发现其下部存在原生矿石。通过单颗粒锆石SHRIMP测年,获得Y9岩体中辉长岩的结晶年龄为(287±4)Ma,与Y1岩体的成岩年龄〔(287±5)Ma〕一致,结合岩石地球化学和同位素地球化学特征,证明喀拉通克矿区南、北岩带具有同期同源岩浆演化的特征,岩浆源自亏损型地幔部分熔融与不含沉积物消减板片脱水物质的混合。研究认为喀拉通克铜镍矿床形成于亏损地幔在相对较高的氧逸度条件下低程度部分熔融,产生硫化物不饱和的岩浆,岩浆源区相对富水和较高的氧逸度,原始岩浆具有较高的钛含量,具有富碱亲合性。
