新疆阿尔泰萨尔朔克金多金属矿区岩浆活动—剪切变形时限——锆石U-Pb和绢云母~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar测年证据

萨尔朔克金多金属矿位于新疆阿尔泰南缘阿舍勒盆地,矿体赋存于沿火山通道充填的潜火山岩(流纹斑岩)中,矿化类型较为多样,主要呈浸染状、脉状和细脉状产出,矿床的形成与潜火山热液密切相关。该矿区外围广泛发育无明显矿化的流纹斑岩,且普遍发育韧性剪切变形现象,流纹斑岩和韧性剪切变形的时限都不明确,严重制约着外围找矿勘查工作的进展。本文在详细的野外地质调查和室内镜下鉴定的基础上,应用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb和绢云母~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar测年方法对外围的流纹斑岩和韧性剪切带中的糜棱岩进行了年代学研究。获得无明显矿化的流纹斑岩的年龄为371.3±1.2 Ma,结合课题组对矿化流纹斑岩的年代学研究成果,表明流纹斑岩形成于382~371 Ma之间,但主成矿作用只发生在中泥盆世晚期,371 Ma可能代表了阿舍勒组最晚期岩浆侵入活动事件,但没有伴随矿化作用。绢云母在糜棱岩中沿剪切面理分布,属于韧性剪切变形的新生矿物,其坪年龄为254.4±1.8 Ma,与等时线年龄(254.0±3.7 Ma)在误差范围内一致,代表了新生绢云母的形成年龄,暗示该韧性剪切带形成时间为晚二叠世末期,为额尔齐斯区域大规模剪切—走滑活动之后的局部剪切活动;该韧性剪切作用只对矿化进行了改造,并没有富集成矿。     

应用综合物探方法探测新疆萨尔苏克外围及深部金铜矿床

新疆萨尔苏克外围金铜矿床位于新疆阿舍勒大型铜矿床西部,处于多拉纳萨依弧沟间隙构造带与阿舍勒岛弧构造带之间,两个构造单元以F6-1玛尔卡库里深大断裂为界。依据本区成矿规律及地层特点,在萨尔苏克外围采用地面高精度磁测、激电中梯、激电测深、CSAMT、TEM组合勘探,在钻孔定位依据上利用激电测深圈定中浅部矿化体,通过研究CSAMT方法成果在浅部与激电测深成果对应关系,进一步研究CSAMT成果对深部矿化体的反应规律。依据CSAMT方法,大致了解了深部可能存在的隐伏岩体、控矿构造、硅化带等的规模和产状变化情况,从而提供深部找矿信息。在萨尔苏克外围Ⅱ号矿化蚀变带上布设的两个钻探验证孔均见铜矿体,预示萨尔苏克外围及深部找矿潜力巨大。     

Geochemistry and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopes of Middle Devonian igneous rocks of the Sarsuk polymetallic Au deposit: implications for understanding the tectonic evolution of the south Altay Orogenic Belt,Northwest China

The medium-tonnage Sarsuk polymetallic Au deposit is located in the Devonian volcanic–sedimentary Ashele Basin of the south Altay Orogenic Belt (AOB), Northwest China. Within the deposit, the rhyolite porphyries and diabases are widespread, emplaced into strata. The orebodies are hosted by the rhyolite porphyries. We studied the petrography, geochemistry, and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopes of the rhyolite porphyries and diabases, in order to understand the petrogenesis of these rocks and their tectonic significance. They display typical bimodality in geochemistry compositions. The diabases are characterized by SiO₂ contents of 44.84–59.77 wt.%, high Mg# values (43–69), enrichment in large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and light rare earth elements (LREE), depletion in Nb and Ta, low (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i (0.706687–0.707613) values, positive ε_Nd(t) (4.8–6.8) values, and positive and high ε_Hf(t) (7.15–15.19) values, suggesting a depleted lithosphere mantle source that might have been metasomatized by subduction-related components. The rhyolite porphyries show affinity to sanukitoid magmas contents [high SiO₂ (78.6–81.82 wt.%) and MgO (3.38–5.94 wt.%, one sample at 0.61 wt.%), and enrichments in LILE and LREE], they were derived from the equilibrium reactions between a mantle source and subducted oceanic crust materials. Those characteristics together with the positive ε_Nd(t) (4.1–8.4) and ε_Hf(t) (2.88–15.17) values indicate that the diabases and rhyolite porphyries were generated from the same mantle peridotite source. But the rhyolite porphyries underwent fractional crystallization of Fe–Ti oxides, plagioclase, and apatite due to their negative Eu (δEu = 0.21–0.28) and P anomalies. According to the geochemical and isotopic data, the Sarsuk Middle Devonian igneous rocks are considered to be the products of the juvenile crustal growth in an island arc setting. The Sarsuk polymetallic Au deposit formed slightly later than the Ashele Cu–Zn deposit in the Ashele Basin, but they have the same tectonic setting, belonging to the trench–arc–basin system during extensional process in the south AOB.
