Ailaotectonic zone, Yunnan Province, is a typical gold orefield where lamprophyres are temporallyand spatially related to gold mineratization. Major element data show that lamprophyres in theorefield are of alkalic series and can be divided into potassic and K-rich calc-alkaline lamprophyres. The rocks are enriched in rare-earth elenlents as compared with the primary mantle andmid-ocean ridge basalts(MORB). Modelled calculations by the least squares method of Petrological Mixing show that the mantle source for the lamprophyres is enriched in rare-earth elements. The geotectonic development of western Yunnan, Sr and Nd isotopic compeitions, incompatible element patterns and linear programing calculations indicate that the fluids were de-rived from dehydration of submaine sediments which are enriched in ALK, LREE and incompatible elements and then were carried to mantle wedges as a result of plate subduction. That isthe main factor leading to the formation of a metasomatic fertile mantle in the area studied.展开更多

The results show that the NH+-4 contents of minettes in the orefield range from 120×10-6 to 469×10-6 and those of kersantites from 74.3×10-6 to 136×10-6. These values are higher than those of other mantle-derived rocks (less than 50×10-6), but lower than those of carbonaceous wall rocks in the orefield (from 1200×10-6 to 1343×10-6). Combining with the Sr isotopic composition, this paper suggested that lamprophyres in the orefield with high NH+-4 contents relative to other mantle-derived rocks would not have resulted from the primary magma contaminated by crustal materials in the process of rising or in the magma chamber, but from mantle metasomatism.展开更多

Majorelements show that lamprophyres in the orefield are alkalic series and potassic calc-alkaline lam-prophyres. Chondrite-normalized transition element patterns of the lamprophyres are "W" shapedwhich suggest that the rocks are mantle-derived. The lamprophyres are enriched in large ionlithophile elements (LlLE ), high field strength elements (HFSE ) and rare earth elements(REE), and have high 87Sr/86Sr but low 143Nd/144Nd ratios. All the characteristics above and cal-culation modelling suggest that the source of the lamprophyres is incompatible element-enrichedmetasomatic mantle.展开更多

Ailao structure zone, Yunnan Province. Lamprophyres in the orefield are temporally and spatially related to gold mineralization. Lamprophyres in the orefield have anomalous Sr and Nd isotopic compositions, e.g. the 87Sr/ 86Sr ratios (0.706 665-0.707 960, the 87Sr/ 86Sr ratio of sample YLW-44 is 0.709 041) are higher than the modern value of the original mantle (0.704 5), the 143Nd/ 144Nd ratios (0.512 463-0.512 551) are lower than the modern value of the original mantle (0.512 638), and the calculated values ε Sr>0 (28.1-63.7) and ε Nd<0 (-1.34--3.07). The results of investigation indicate that lamprophyres in the Laowangzhai gold orefield with anomalous Sr and Nd isotopic compositions would not be produced as a result of contamination of the primary magma with the isotopic features of MORB by the crust materials high 87Sr/ 86Sr ratios and low 143Nd/ 144Nd ratios in the processes of rising or in the magma chamber, but the result of metasomatism of source mantle.展开更多

Phlogopite ^(40)Ar/^(39)Ar dating suggests that the emplacement age of lampro-phyric magma ranges from (30.8±0.4) to (34.3±0.2) Ma, and gold mineralization took place at (26.4±0.2) Ma. PGE geochemical tracing indicates that gold in the gold deposit did not come from the primitive lamprophyric magma. The tempo-spatial paragenesis between lamprophyres and mesothermal gold deposits along the Jinsha-Red River belt may be attributed to the fact that they formed in the same tectonic setting.展开更多
