Re-Os Dating of Molybdenite from the Nannihu Mo (-W) Orefield in the East Qinling and Its Geodynamic Significance

Located in the East Qinling molybdenum metallogenic belt on the southern margin of the North China craton, the Nannihu Mo (-W) orefield comprising Nannihu, Sandaozhuang, and Shangfanggou deposits is a superlarge skarn-porphyry Mo (-W) orefield in the world. Re-Os dating was performed of six molybdenite samples from the Mo deposits in the Nannihu Mo orefield with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results show that the Re-Os model ages are 145.8±2.1-141.8±2.1 Ma for the Nannihu deposit, 145.4±2.0-144.5±2.2 Ma (averaging 145.0±2.2 Ma) for the Sandaozhuang deposit and 145.8±2.1-143.8±2.1 Ma (averaging 144.8±2.1 Ma) for the Shangfanggou deposit; dating of the six samples yields an isochron age of 141.5±7.8 Ma (2σ), which accurately determines the timing of mineralization. The results also suggest that the ore-forming materials were mainly derived from the lower crust, mixed with minor mantle components. These Mo deposits were formed during the transition of the Mesozoic tectonic regime in eastern China, and its mineralization was a part of the Late Mesozoic large-scale mineralization in that region.

Re-Os Dating of the Pulang Porphyry Copper Deposit in Zhongdian,NW Yunnan, and Its Geological Significance

The Pulang porphyry copper deposit is located in the Zhongdian island arc belt, NW Yunnan, in the central part of the Sanjiang area, SW China, belonging to the southern segment of the Yidun island arc belt on the western margin of the Yangtze Platform. In the Yidun island arc, there occur well-known 'Gacun-style' massive sulfide deposits in the northern segment and plenty of porphyry copper deposits in the southern segment, of which the Pulang porphyry copper deposit is one of the representatives. Like the Yulong porphyry copper deposit, this porphyry copper deposit is also one of the most important porphyry copper deposits in the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. But it is different from other porphyry copper deposits in the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (e.g. those in the Gangdise porphyry copper belt and Yulong porphyry copper belt) in that it formed in the Indosinian period, while others in the Himalayan period. Because of its particularity among the porphyry copper deposits of China, this porphyry copper deposit is of great significance for the study of the basic geology and the evaluation and prediction of mineral resources in the Zhongdian island arc belt. However, no accurate chronological data are available for determining the timing of mineralization of the porphyry copper deposit. By field observation in the study area and Re-Os dating of molybdenite and K-Ar dating of hydrothermal minerals and whole rock from the typical geological bodies, the timing of mineralization of the porphyry copper deposit has systematically been determined for the first time. The K-Ar age for the hydrothermal mineralization of biotite-quartz monzonitic porphyry that has undergone patassic silicate (biotite and K-feldspar) alteration ranges from 235.4±2.4 to 221.5±2.0 Ma and the Re-Os age for molybdenite in the quartz-molybdenite stage is ~213±3.8 Ma. These data are very close to each other, suggesting that the ore-forming processes of the Pulang porphyry copper deposit was completed in the Indosinian. But the K-feldspar K-Ar age of the main orebodies suggests that the hydrothermal activity related to porphyry copper mineralization continued till ~182.5±1.8 Ma. This indicates that the lifespan of the hydrothermal system related to porphyry copper mineralization may have lasted at least 40 Ma. This hydrothermal thermal system with such a long lifespan may be one of the necessary conditions for forming large porphyry copper deposits with a high grade. No late Yanshanian and/or Himalayan magmatism (mineralization) were superimposed in the Pulang porphyry copper deposit.

LA-ICP-MS Zircon U-Pb Dating of Intermediate-Acidic Intrusive Rocks and Molybdenite Re-Os Dating from the Bangpu Mo (Cu) Deposit, Tibet and its Geological Implication

The multi-stage intrusions of intermediate-acid magma occur in the Bangpu mining district, the petrogenic ages of which have been identified. The times and sequences of their emplacement have been collated and stipulated in detail in this paper by using the laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry （LA-ICP-MS） zircon U-Pb dating method. The ages of biotite monzogranite that were formed before mineralization in the southwest of this mining district are 70±1 Ma （mean square of weighted deviates （MSWD） =9.5, n=8） and 60.60±0.31 Ma （MSWD=3.8, n=16）, which belong to the late Cretaceous-early Paleocene in age. That means, they are products of an early tectonicmagmatic event of the collision between the Indian and Asian continentals. The ages of ore-bearing monzogranite porphyry and ore-bearing diorite porphyrite are 16.23±0.19 Ma （MSWD=2.0, n=26） and 15.16±0.09 Ma （MSWD=3.9, n=5） separately, which belong to the middle Miocene in age; namely, they are products of the Gangdese post-collision extensional stage when crust-mantle materials melted and mixed as well as magmatic intrusion simultaneously occurred. Some zircons with ages of 203.6±2.2 Ma （MSWD=1.18, n=7） were captured in the ore-bearing diorite porphyrite, which shows that there had been tectono-magmatic events in the late Triassic-early Jurassic. Molybdenum （copper） ore-bodies produced in the monzogranite porphyry and copper （molybdenum） ore-bodies produced in the diorite porphyrite are the main ore types in this ore deposit. The model ages of Re-Os isotopic dating for the 11 molybdenite are 13.97-15.84 Ma, while isochron ages are 14.09±0.49 Ma （MSWD=26）. The isochron ages of seven molybdenite from molybdenum （copper） ore with monzogranite porphyry type are 14.11±0.31 Ma （MSWD=5.2）. There is great error in the isochron ages of four molybdenite from copper （molybdenum） ore with diorite porphyrite type, and their weighted average model ages of 14.6±1.2 Ma （MSWD=41）, which generally represent the mineralization age. The results about the Re-Os isotopic dating of molybdenite in the ore of different types have limited exactly that, the minerlazation age of this ore deposits is about 14.09 Ma, which belongs to the middle Miocene mineralization. The Bangpu deposit has a uniform metallogenic dynamics background with the porphyry type and skarn-type deposits such as Jiama, Qulong and others.

LA-ICP-MS Zircon U-Pb Geochronology of the Fine-grained Granite and Molybdenite Re-Os Dating in the Wurinitu Molybdenum Deposit,Inner Mongolia,China

The Wurinitu molybdenum deposit,located in Honggor,Sonid Left Banner of Inner Mongolia,China,is recently discovered and is considered to be associated with a concealed fine-grained granite impregnated with molybdenite.The wall rocks are composed of Variscan porphyritic-like biotite granite and the Lower Ordovician Wubin'aobao Formation.LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating of the fine-grained granite reveals two stages of zircons,one were formed at 181.7±7.4 Ma and the other at 133.6±3.3 Ma.The latter age is believed to be the formation age of the fine-grained granite,while the former may reflect the age of inherited zircons,based on the morphological study of the zircon and regional geological setting.The Re-Os model age of molybdenite is 142.2±2.5 Ma,which is older than the diagenetic age of the fine-grained granite.Therefore the authors believe that the metallogenic age of the Wurinitu molybdenum deposit should be nearly 133.6±3.3 Ma or slightly later,i.e.,Early Cretaceous.Combined with regional geological background research,it is speculated that the molybdenum deposits were formed at the late Yanshanian orogenic cycle in the Hingganling-Mongolian orogenic belt,belonging to the relaxation epoch posterior to the compression and was associated with the closure of the Mongolia-Okhotsk Sea.

Re-Os Dating of Chalcopyrite from the Lala IOCG Deposit in the Kangdian Copper Belt,China

This study focused on the typical Precambrian copper- iron-gold-uranium deposits in the southwestern margin of the Yangtze block, such as the Lala in Huili, Dahongshan in Xinping, Yinachang in Wuding, and Chahe in Yuanjiang. Through systematically sampling of rocks, mineral and single mineral samples, this study discussed the continental geodynamics, age of magmatic rocks and metallogenic epoch, coupling relationship between polymetallic elements and ore-forming fluid, and the coupling relationship between magma evolution and polymetallic mineralization based on the latest metallogenic theory and modern analytical techniques.

Metallogenic Age and Ore-forming Material Sources of the Dahongshan Fe-Cu Deposit,Yunnan Province:Insights from Molybdenite Re-Os Dating and H-O-S-Pb Isotopes

The Dahongshan Fe-Cu(-Au)deposit is a superlarge deposit in the Kangdian metallogenic belt,southwestern China,comprising approximately 458 Mt of Fe ores(40%Fe)and 1.35 Mt Cu.Two main types of Fe-Cu(-Au)mineralization are present in the Dahongshan deposit:(1)early submarine volcanic exhalation and sedimentary mineralization characterized by strata-bound fine-grained magnetite and banded Fe-Cu sulfide(pyrite and chalcopyrite)hosted in the Na-rich metavolcanic rocks;(2)late hydrothermal(-vein)type mineralization characterized by Fe-Cu sulfide veins in the hosted strata or massive coarse-grained magnetite orebodies controlled by faults.While previous studies have focused primarily on the early submarine volcanic and sedimentary mineralization of the deposit,data related to late hydrothermal mineralization is lacking.In order to establish the metallogenic age and ore-forming material source of the late hydrothermal(-vein)type mineralization,this paper reports the Re-Os dating of molybdenite from the late hydrothermal vein Fe-Cu orebody and H,O,S,and Pb isotopic compositions of the hydrothermal quartz-sulfide veins.The primary aim of this study was to establish the metallogenic age and ore-forming material source of the hydrothermal type orebody.Results show that the molybdenite separated from quartz-sulfide veins has a Re-Os isochron age of 831±11 Ma,indicating that the Dahongshan Fe-Cu deposit experienced hydrothermal superimposed mineralization in Neoproterozoic.The molybdenite has a Re concentration of 99.7-382.4 ppm,indicating that the Re of the hydrothermal vein ores were primarily derived from the mantle.The δ^(34)S values of sulfides from the hydrothermal ores are 2‰-8‰ showing multi-peak tower distribution,suggesting that S in the ore-forming period was primarily derived from magma and partially from calcareous sedimentary rock.Furthermore,the abundance of radioactive Pb increased significantly from ore-bearing strata to layered and hydrothermal vein ores,which may be related to the later hydrothermal transformation.The composition of H and O isotopes within the hydrothermal quartz indicates that the ore-forming fluid is a mixture of magmatic water and a small quantity of water.These results further indicate that the late hydrothermal orebodies were formed by the Neoproterozoic magmatic hydrothermal event,which might be related to the breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent.Mantle derived magmatic hydrothermal fluid extracted ore-forming materials from the metavolcanic rocks of Dahongshan Group and formed the hydrothermal(-vein)type Fe-Cu orebodies by filling and metasomatism.

Timing of carbonatite-hosted U-polymetallic mineralization in the supergiant Huayangchuan deposit,Qinling Orogen:Constraints from titanite U-Pb and molybdenite Re-Os dating

The newly-discovered supergiant Huayangchuan uranium(U)-polymetallic(Sr,Se,REEs,Ba,Nb and Pb)deposit is located in the Qinling Orogen,central China.The deposit underwent multistage mineralization,with the main carbonatite ore stage being the most important for the U,Nb,REE,Sr and Ba endowments.According to the mineral assemblages,the main carbonatite ore stage can be divided into three substages,i.e.,sulfate(Ba-Sr),alkali-rich U and REE-U mineralization.Main-stage titanite from the Huayangchuan igneous carbonatite are rich in high field strength elements(HFSEs,e.g.,Zr,Nb and REEs),and show clear elemental substitutions(e.g.,Ti vs.Nb+Fe+Al and Ca+Ti vs.Fe+Al+REE).High-precision LA-ICP-MS titanite dating yielded a U-Pb age of 209.0±2.9 Ma,which represents the mainstage mineralization age at Huayangchuan,and is coeval with the local carbonatite dyke intrusion.This mineralization age is further constrained by the Re-Os dating of molybdenite from the Huayangchuan carbonatite,which yielded a weighted mean age of 196.8±2.4 Ma.Molybdenite Re contents(337.55-392.75 ppm)and C-OSr-Nd-Pb isotopic evidence of the Huayangchuan carbonatite both suggest a mantle origin for the carbonatite.Our study supports that the Late Triassic carbonatite magmatism was responsible for the world-class U-Mo-REE mineralization in the Qinling Orogen,and that the regional magmatism and ore formation was likely caused by the closure of the Mianlue ocean and the subsequent North China-South China continent-continent collision.

Re-Os Dating of Molybdenite from the Yaogangxian Tungsten Deposit,South China,and Its Geological Significance

The Yaogangxian tungsten deposit is located in the central part of the Nanling polymetailic metallogenic province. The orebodies occur as veins. Wolframite and molybdenite are the dominant ore minerals. Two samples were selected for molybdenite Re-Os dating in order to elucidate the timing of mineralization. Re-Os datings of molybdenite from quartz-woiframite veins and disseminated in granite yield ages of 153±7 Ma and 163.2±4.2 Ma respectively. The results indicate that the Yaogangxian tungsten deposit is the product of large-scale metallogenesis in the middle Yanshanian period in South China, and that the evolution from late magmatic to postmagmatic hypothermal mineralization occurred at about 10 Ma. The rhenium content of molybdenite in the Yaogangxian tungsten deposit suggests that the ore materials originated from the crust.

SHRIMP Zircon U-Pb and Molybdenite Re-Os Datings of the Superlarge Donggou Porphyry Molybdenum Deposit in the East Qinling,China,and Its Geological Implications

Located in the eastern part of the East Qinling molybdenum belt, the Donggou deposit is a superlarge porphyry molybdenum deposit discovered in recent years. The authors performed highly precise dating of the mineralized porphyry and ores in the Donggou molybdenum deposit. A SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating of the Donggou aluminous A-type granite-porphyry gave a rock-forming age of 112±1 Ma, and the ICP-MS Re-Os analyses of molybdenite from the molybdenum deposit yielded ReOs model ages ranging from 116.5±1.7 to 115.5±1.7 Ma for the deposit. The ages obtained by the two methods are quite close, suggesting that the rocks and ores formed approximately at the same time. The Donggou molybdenum deposit formed at least 20 Ma later than the Jinduicheng, Nannihu, Shangfanggou and Leimengou porphyry molybdenum deposits in the same molybdenum belt, implying that these deposits were formed in different tectonic settings.

Re-Os dating,and Pb-H-O isotope characteristics,of the Abra Cu-Ag-Pb-Au polymetallic deposit in Western Australia

The Abra deposit,a large lead-silver-copper–gold polymetallic deposit in Western Australia,is located at the eastern of the metallogenic belt of the Jillawarra basin in the Bangemall basin.The 4 th to the 6 th rock section of the Irrigully Group of Edmund Series are the principal ore-host strata,composed mainly of sandstone and fine sandstone.The orebody in Abra can be classified into two types as upper layer-like lead-silver and lower veins or netvein copper–gold.The metal minerals are mainly galena,chalcopyrite,and pyrite,while the gangue minerals are mainly quartz,dolomite,and barite.Both ReOs isotopic age of the pyrite(1329.5±98 Ma)with the initial(187Os/188Os)=5.0±3.8 and Pb isotopic compositions(206 Pb/204 Pb=15.914–15.967,207Pb/204Pb=15.425–15.454,208Pb/204Pb=35.584–35.667)suggests that the metal minerals were sourced from the wall-rocks.d DV-SMOWvalues of quartz range from-35%to-17%whereas d18 OV-SMOWvalue range from 12%to 16%which indicates that the ore-forming fluids of Abra were mediumlow temperature and medium–low salinity,and were mainly metamorphic water and secondary atmospheric precipitation.When the medium–low temperature oreforming fluids are mixed with oxidizing reducing fluids carrying a large number of metal substances,a large number of ore-forming substances will be precipitated when the physical and chemical conditions change,thus it can be considered that the Abra deposit is a medium–low temperature hydrothermal polymetallic deposit.

Molybdenite Re-Os,titanite and garnet U-Pb dating of the Magushan skarn Cu-Mo deposit,Xuancheng district,Middle-Lower Yangtze River Metallogenic Belt

The Magushan skarn Cu-Mo deposit is a representative example of the skarn mineralization occurring within the Xuancheng ore district of the Middle-Lower Yangtze River Metallogenic Belt of eastern China.The precise age of an ore deposit is important for understanding the timing of mineralization relative to other geological events in a region and to fully place the formation of a mineral deposit within the geological context of other processes that occur within the study area.Here,we present new molybdenite Re-Os and titanite and andradite garnet U-Pb ages for the Magushan deposit and use these data to outline possible approaches for identifying genetic relationships in geologically complex areas.The spatial and paragenetic relationships between the intrusions,alteration,and mineralization within the study area indicates that the formation of the Magushan deposit is genetically associated with the porphyritic granodiorite.However,this is not always the case,as some areas contain complexly zoned plutons with multiple phases of intrusion or mineralization may be distal from or may not have any clear spatial relationship to a pluton.This means that it may not be possible to determine whether the mineralization formed as a result of single or multiple magmatic/hydrothermal events.As such,the approaches presented in this study provide an approach that allows the identification of any geochronological relationships between mineralization and intrusive events in areas more complex than the study area.Previously published zircon U-Pb data for the mineralization-related porphyritic granodiorite in this area yielded an age of 134.2±1.2 Ma(MSWD=1.4)whereas the Re-Os dating of molybdenite from the study area yielded an isochron age of 137.7±2.5 Ma(MSWD=0.43).The timing of the mineralizing event in the study area was further examined by the dating of magmatic accessory titanite and skarn-related andradite garnet,yielding U-Pb ages of 136.3±2.5 Ma(MSWD=3.2)and 135.9±2.7 Ma(MSWD=2.5),respectively.The dating of magmatic and hydrothermal activity within the Magushan area yields ages around 136 Ma,strongly suggesting that the mineralization in this area formed as a result of the emplacement of the intrusion.The dates presented in this study also provide the first indication of the timing of mineralization within the Xuancheng district.providing evidence of a close genetic relationship between the formation of the mineralization within the Xuancheng district and the Early Cretaceous magmatism that occurred in this area.This in turn suggests that other Early Cretaceous intrusive rocks within this region are likely to be associated with mineralization and should be considered highly prospective for future mineral exploration.This study also indicates that the dating of garnet and titanite can also provide reliable geochronological data and evidence of the timing of mineralization and magmatism,respectively,in areas lacking other dateable minerals(e.g.,molybdenite)or where the relationship between mineralization and magmatism is unclear,for example in areas with multiple stages of magmatism,with complexly zoned plutons,and with distal skarn mineralization.

青海东昆仑三通沟北锰矿成矿时代与物质来源:来自Re-Os同位素年代学与地球化学的约束

东昆仑三通沟北锰矿床是近年来青海省发现的规模最大的海相沉积型锰矿。该矿床位于东昆南构造带的北缘,成矿地质背景与原特提斯洋的演化密切相关。但目前该矿床研究程度较低,尤其是成矿时代存在中-新元古代与奥陶-志留纪的争议,成矿物质来源存在海底热液为主还是海底热液与陆源风化共同来源的不同认识。为了解决这些问题,本文在对三通沟北锰矿进行详细野外地质调查和钻孔岩芯编录的基础上,选择11件锰矿石进行Re-Os同位素分析,获得了442±15Ma的Re-Os等时线年龄,说明三通沟北锰矿带形成于晚奥陶世,不是前人认为的中-新元古代,这一成矿年龄与区域上的奥陶纪纳赤台群沉积岩的形成时代一致。同时Re-Os同位素分析获得的^(187)Os/^(188)Os初始值为0.67±0.02,该值明显低于同期海水的Os同位素组成(0.72),初步表明三通沟北锰矿的锰质来源以海底热液为主。矿石在SiO_(2)-Al_(2)O_(3)、Al/(Al+Fe+Mn)-Fe/Ti、Fe-Mn-(Ni+Cu+Co)×10和lgU-lgTh等图解上主要位于热水沉积区,矿石稀土元素配分型式也具有海底热液来源的特征。可见三通沟北锰矿的成矿物质来源主要与海底热液活动有关。

新疆东天山黄滩金铜锌矿成矿时代——来自白云母^(40)Ar-^(39)Ar年龄和黄铁矿Re-Os年龄约束

卡拉塔格是东天山十分重要的铜矿集区,发育5个不同时代和成矿类型的成矿系统。近年来新发现了黄滩(包括金岭)金铜锌矿床,赋存于火山岩系中,发育层状矿化、脉状矿化和黄铁绢英岩化,但层状矿化和黄铁绢英岩化形成时代不清楚,制约了进一步找矿勘查工作。本文基于野外调查和室内研究,开展白云母^(40)Ar-^(39)Ar年龄和黄铁矿Re-Os年代学研究,获得黄铁绢英岩中白云母^(40)Ar-^(39)Ar坪年龄为429.46±3.91 Ma,7件层状矿化中黄铁矿Re-Os等时线年龄为436.5±4.2 Ma。层状矿化年龄与前人获得含矿岩系英安岩和英安质凝灰岩年龄(434~438 Ma)、脉状矿化年龄(432~438 Ma)一致,表明层状矿化、脉状矿化和黄铁绢英岩化是同一成矿事件的产物,黄滩为富金火山成因块状硫化物(VMS)型矿床。因此,尽管黄滩和红海‒黄土坡为VMS型矿床,红石为火山热液脉状矿床,但它们均为同一VMS成矿系统,形成于430~439 Ma,受控矿因素的差异,造成了成因类型、矿化类型和成矿元素组合的多样性。

原油组分Re-Os放射性同位素体系特征及其定年机理与应用启示

Re-Os放射性同位素体系可用于含油气系统关键地质过程的定年与示踪研究。不过,Re-Os定年的精度仍受到有关科学问题的制约,如原油组分的Re-Os体系特征、沥青质渐进散失对原油Re-Os体系特征与定年应用的影响等。本研究通过二元溶液直接分离原油次组分的实验,揭示了原油组分的Re-Os体系特征,模拟了实际地质情况中沥青质渐进散失对原油Re-Os体系特征与定年应用的影响,并通过重复实验验证相关实验流程对所取得的结果和认识的影响。研究发现,根据沉淀的先后顺序,原油次组分的Re和Os元素丰度总体上呈下降趋势,但有起伏变化,Re-Os同位素比值则单调下降。因此,沥青质的渐进散失将导致原油Re和Os元素丰度以及Re-Os同位素比值降低,进而对原油和低成熟度沥青Re-Os定年与示踪的应用产生影响。重复实验表明,实验室分离次组分的操作结果具有一定的随机性,但不影响Re-Os体系的总体性质。

Re-Os Dating of Galena and Sphalerite from Lead-Zinc Sulfide Deposits in Yunnan Province, SW China

Dating of lead-zinc deposits is of critical importance for better understanding of ore genesis, but has long been a big challenge due to the lack of suitable minerals that can be unequivocally linked to the ore genesis and that can be used for tradition radiometric methods. This kind of deposits have simple mineralogy dominated by galena and sphalerite commonly associated with calcite and other gangue minerals. Both galena and sphalerite have low and high variable Re concentrations and thus Re-Os dating of these minerals have been less promising. In addition, the recovery of Re is extremely low for galena when conventional method was applied, lending additional difficulty in precisely dating galena. In this study, we investigate the recovery of Re using different media for anion exchange separation and reporte a revised preparation method for Re-Os dating of galena and sphalerite. By using the new protocol, two reliable Re-Os isochron ages of galena and sphalerite from the Fule（20.4±3.2 Ma） and Laochang（308±25 Ma） Pb-Zn deposits in Yunnan Province, SW China, are achieved.

西秦岭加甘滩金矿成因研究:毒砂Re-Os定年、载金矿物原位微量元素和硫同位素限定

西秦岭加甘滩金矿是夏河-合作地区最大的金矿,但其矿床成因存在争议,其中主要问题在于该矿床成矿时代缺乏研究。通过野外工作和镜下观察,识别出两种毒砂和黄铁矿:毒砂Apy1(较为常见,在矿石中呈浸染状产出)和毒砂Apy2(数量较少,围绕黄铁矿Py1产出),黄铁矿Py1(浸染状黄铁矿)和黄铁矿Py2(黄铁矿脉)。本次工作对毒砂进行Re-Os定年,以期确定加甘滩金矿的成矿时代:通过对Apy1进行了Re-Os定年,获得毒砂的Re-Os等时线年龄243.1±8.7Ma,该年龄与夏河-合作区域岩浆作用(232~249Ma)相对应。利用LA-ICP-MS和LA-MC-ICP-MS对成矿期毒砂和黄铁矿进行了微量元素和硫同位素测定。微量元素测试结果显示加甘滩金矿硫化物内的不可见金以固溶体形式赋存,Apy2的不可见金含量最高可达521×10^(-6),其他毒砂和黄铁矿不可见金含量最高为119×10^(-6)。加甘滩金矿的平均品位为2~3g/t,依据质量平衡计算,如果毒砂和黄铁矿内不可见金发生再活化,不可见金含量需要达到20~30g/t,但实际金含量远低于所需,需要额外的岩浆热液来源。Py1、Py2、Apy1和Apy2的原位硫同位素结果分别为-14.3‰~-7.70‰(平均-10.0‰)、-14.5‰~-9.60‰(平均-12.5‰)、-13.0‰~-6.40‰(平均-8.54‰),-11.2‰~-9.00‰(平均-10.1‰),反映其硫同位素发生了分馏。将加甘滩金矿成矿期硫化物的硫同位素与成岩期和典型岩浆热液型黄铁矿硫同位素进行对此,指示其成矿流体为岩浆热液来源。综上,本文研究指示加甘滩金矿属于岩浆热液成因。

新疆西天山智博铁矿成矿时代——来自锆石U-Pb年龄和黄铁矿Re-Os年龄的证据

智博铁矿是新疆西天山阿吾拉勒铁成矿带的大型富铁矿床,在区域成矿规律研究和找矿勘查方面极具代表性。本文选择能限定铁矿体时代的围岩火山岩、侵入围岩地层的石英闪长岩开展锆石U-Pb测年,并挑选与磁铁矿共生的黄铁矿开展Re-Os同位素定年,试图厘定其成矿时代。本文获得5件铁矿石样品中黄铁矿的Re-Os等时线年龄为307±12Ma,围岩绿帘石化安山岩的锆石U-Pb年龄为312.0±3.4 Ma,安山质集块岩年龄为317.8±2.5 Ma,两件石英闪长岩的年龄分别为317.0±2.2 Ma和315.4±0.9 Ma,据此认为智博铁矿成矿于晚石炭世,该时期火山喷发-岩浆侵入-铁矿近乎同时形成,是同一岩浆-热液事件的不同体现,并推测“晚石炭世火山机构+岩浆侵位+热液蚀变”区是铁矿就位的场所,应当作为重要勘查目标。

吉林省敦化市松江河金(钼)矿床辉钼矿Re-Os年龄及其地质意义

松江河金(钼)矿是近十年来发现的产在韧性变形带内的一座中型金矿床(Au资源储量达9 t)。近年来,在松江河矿区五中段至八中段发现大量辉钼矿分布,至少延深至九中段,从五中至八中段钼矿化具有明显的增强趋势。为确定钼成矿时代,文章利用高精度ICP-MS辉钼矿Re-Os同位素测年技术,首次获得了松江河矿床的辉钼矿Re-Os同位素加权平均模式年龄和等时线年龄分别为(167±2.4) Ma和(158±10)Ma,该年龄与前人报道的松江河矿区黄泥河岩体的年龄(164~162 Ma)和五道溜河岩体的年龄(174~172 Ma)误差范围内基本一致,证实了该矿床成矿与成岩作用近于同时发生,且主要在燕山早期的中、晚侏罗世。结合吉林省中东部地区已发表的成岩与成矿年代学资料,文章认为,区内钼多金属矿床形成于燕山期古太平洋板块向欧亚大陆岩石圈俯冲的活动大陆边缘的地球动力学背景。矿床中辉钼矿的ω(Re)为142.74×10^(-6)~217.67×10^(-6),均值为196.58×10^(-6),结合矿床地质特征和成矿岩体及矿石O、S、Pb同位素等证据,文章认为该矿床的成矿物质主要为地幔来源,来自深部的流体可能对该矿床的成矿作用起了重要作用。

Mineralization episode of porphyry copper deposits in the Jinshajiang-Red River mineralization belt: Re-Os dating

Re-Os isotopic dating for the molybdenites from the porphyry copper deposits of the Jinshajiang-Red River mineralization belt in Yunnan Province yields isochron ages of 33.9±1.1 Ma for the Machangqing deposit and 34.4±0.5 Ma for the Tongchang deposit. This result shows that both the Machangqing and the Tongchang porphyry Cu-Mo deposits from two different ore-fields formed simultaneously. This new data and the published Re-Os model ages of molybdenite (35.4 Ma, 35.9 Ma, 36.2 Ma) of the Yulong porphyry copper deposit in Tibet, which is located in the same Jinshajiang-Red River mineralization belt as the Machangqing deposit and the Tongchang deposit, suggest that these three Cenozoic porphyry copper deposits in the Jinshajiang-Red River mineralization belt were contemporary for their mineralization episode. That is to say, even their present locality is far away and nearly iso-distantly distributed, these three porphyry Cu(Mo) deposits belong to the same mineralization episode at the end of Eocene.

Re-Os Isotopic Dating of a W-Be Polymetallic Deposit in the Southern Qinling Region, China

Objective In recent years, a series of tungsten prospecting breakthroughs have been made in the southern Qinling Mountains. Especially, a new deposit type with a scheelite -beryl-molybdenite assemblage in the Zhen＇an area of Shaanxi Province was firstly discovered. This deposit is currently in a detailed investigation stage, and no detailed study has been yet conducted. This work selected one molybdenite sample from the Be （W） ores in this deposit for Re-Os isotope measurements to define the time limit of tungsten and beryllium mineralization, and to further reveal the ore-forming geological setting of rare metals in the southern Qinling region.
