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。

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。

Extensive Resetting of Feldspar Pb Isotopic Composition in Archean–Paleoproterozoic Granitic Rocks from the Kongling Terrane,South China:Implications for Tracing Thermal Evolutionary History

Feldspar Pb isotopes have been widely used to trace magmatic formation and evolution processes.However,it remains unclear whether post-magmatic thermal events can affect feldspar Pb isotopic ratios.Here,the in situ Pb isotopic composition of feldspar hosted in granitic rocks(thirteen Archean and one Paleoproterozoic)from the northern Kongling terrane,Yangtze Craton,South China,is analyzed.The samples reveal a substantial variation in their Pb isotopic composition,spanning the gap between the 1.9 Ga and present-day geochrons,which indicates extensive resetting by later tectonothermal events.This resetting was interpreted to have likely resulted from Paleoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic tectonothermal events related to the assembly and breakup of the Columbia and Rodinia supercontinents.These results suggest that Pb isotopes should be used cautiously when tracing magma sources and petrogenesis in magmatic rocks that have experienced post-magmatic reworking.However,the in situ Pb isotopic composition of feldspar in ancient granitoids may also potentially be used to reveal later tectonothermal events.The extensive resetting of the Pb isotopic composition in feldspar by regional thermal events may also provide new insights into our understanding of the Pb isotope paradox.

Stable Isotopic Signatures of NO3 in Waste Water Effluent and Los Angeles River

A metropolitan city such as Los Angeles (LA) is an ideal study site with a very high population density, and it houses at least 3 treatment plants where sewage is treated preliminarily and then progressing to tertiary treatment before discharging into the LA River. We will gain a better understanding of the water quality in the LA River and the nitrate load in the watershed system by examining the influence of waste water treatment plants (WWTPs). The goal of this study is to pinpoint the exact source of nitrate in the LA River using the isotope signatures. We have selected sampling locations both upstream and downstream of the WWTP. This serves to monitor nitrate levels, aiding in the assessment of treatment plant effectiveness, pinpointing nitrate pollution sources, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. The research explores the isotopic composition of NO3 in relation to atmospheric nitrogen and Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water, shedding light on the contributions from various sources such as manure, sewage, soil organic nitrogen, and nitrogen fertilizers. Specifically, there is a change in the δ15NAir value between the dry and wet seasons. The isotope values in the Tillman WWTP sample changed between dry and wet seasons. Notably, the presence of nitrate originating from manure and sewage is consistent across seasons, emphasizing the significant impact of anthropogenic and agricultural activities on water quality. This investigation contributes to the broader understanding of nitrogen cycling in urban water bodies, particularly in the context of wastewater effluent discharge. The findings hold implications for water quality management and highlight the need for targeted interventions to mitigate the impact of nitrogen-containing compounds on aquatic ecosystems. Overall, the study provides a valuable framework for future research and environmental stewardship efforts aimed at preserving the health and sustainability of urban water resources. This data informs decisions regarding additional treatment or mitigation actions to safeguard downstream water quality and ecosystem health.

Morphological and Sulfur-Isotopic Characteristics of Pyrites in the Deep Sediments from Xisha Trough,South China Sea

Pyrite is one of the common authigenic minerals in marine sediments.Previous studies have shown that the morphological and isotopic characteristics of pyrite are closely related to the geochemical environment where it is formed.To better understand the for-mation mechanism of authigenic pyrite,we analyzed the isotopic composition,morphology,and distribution of pyrite in the sediment at 500m below the seafloor from Xisha Trough,South China Sea.Mineral morphologies were observed by scanning electron micros-copy and Raman spectrography.X-Ray computed tomography was applied to measure the particle size of pyrite.The size of pyrite crystals in the matrix sediment mainly ranged between 25 and 65µm(av.ca.40µm),although crystals were larger(av.ca.50μm)in the veins.The pyrites had a fine-grained truncated octahedral shape with occasionally well-developed growth steps,which implies the low growth rate and weak anaerobic oxidation of methane-sulfate reduction when pyrite was formed.Theδ^(34)S values of pyrites ranged from+20.8‰Vienna-defined Canyon Diablo Troilite(V-CDT)to+33.2‰V-CDT and from+44.8‰V-CDT to+48.9‰,which suggest two growth stages.In the first stage,with the continuous low methane flux,the pyrite possibly formed in an environment with good access to seawater.In the second stage,the pyrites mainly developed in sediment fractures and appeared in veins,probably due to the limited availability of sulfate.The less exposure of pyrite to the environment in the second stage was probably caused by sediment accumulation or perturbation.In this study,an episodic pyritization process was identified,and the paleoenvironment was reconstructed for the sediment investigated.

Loggerhead Sea Turtles Hand-Reared in Captivity: Isotopic Insights into Their Inherent Dietary Variation

Stable isotope analysis is a widely used method for gathering ecological insights into the diet and feeding habitats of various species. While captive studies often limit lethal sampling and differ from wild conditions, they offer valuable insights into inherent isotopic variations among individuals, which are often assumed to reflect differences between natural populations. In the Sea Turtle Conservation Program, loggerhead turtle hatchlings from different nests were fed. Necropsies were conducted on turtles that died during this period, obtaining bone fragments for analysis. We evaluated the isotopic variation of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) in bone tissue across six turtle nests (n = 66 samples) and assessed differences in Straight Carapace Length (SCL, n = 71 samples). Using SIBER and nicheROVER in R, we calculated niche width and overlap, while the simmr package determined primary prey assimilation. Despite feeding the hatchlings the same prey, we observed variations in nitrogen isotope assimilation between nests. Nests 4 and 6 had a niche width >1.8‰, indicating consistent consumption frequencies across all prey and >70% niche overlap with other nests. In contrast, nests 1 and 2 showed a narrower niche width (Mugil sp. constituted the primary diet component (>40%) across all groups. This study demonstrates how factors like competition or prey preference can influence the assimilation of diet, even when the source remains constant (inherent variation).

Genesis of the Nuri Cu-W-Mo Deposit,Tibet,China:Constraints from in situ Trace Elements and Sr Isotopic Analysis of Scheelite

The Nuri deposit is the only Cu-W-Mo polymetallic deposit with large-scale WO3 resources in the eastern section of the Gangdese metallogenic belt,Tibet,China.However,the genetic type of this deposit has been controversial since its discovery.Based on a study of the geological characteristics of the deposit,this study presents mineralization stages,focusing on the oxide stage and the quartz-sulfide stage where scheelite is mainly formed,referred to as Sch-A and Sch-B,respectively.Through LA-ICP-MS trace element and Sr isotope analyses,the origin,evolutionary process of the oreforming fluid and genesis of the ore deposit are investigated.Scanning Electron Microscope-Cathodoluminescence(SEMCL)observations reveal that Sch-A consists of three generations,with dark gray homogenous Sch-A1 being replaced by relatively lighter and homogeneous Sch-A2 and Sch-A3,with Sch-A2 displaying a gray CL image color with vague and uneven growth bands and Sch-A3 has a light gray CL image color with hardly any growth band.In contrast,Sch-B exhibits a‘core-rim’structure,with the core part(Sch-B1)being dark gray and displaying a uniform growth band,while the rim part(Sch-B2)is light gray and homogeneous.The normalized distribution pattern of rare earth elements in scheelite and Sr isotope data suggest that the early ore-forming fluid in the Nuri deposit originated from granodiorite porphyry and,later on,some country rock material was mixed in,due to strong water-rock interaction.Combining the O-H isotope data further indicates that the ore-forming fluid in the Nuri deposit originated from magmatic-hydrothermal sources,with contributions from metamorphic water caused by water-rock interaction during the mineralization process,as well as later meteoric water.The intense water-rock interaction likely played a crucial role in the precipitation of scheelite,leading to varying Eu anomalies in different generations of scheelite from the oxide stage to the quartz-sulfide stage,while also causing a gradual decrease in oxygen fugacity(fO2)and a slow rise in pH value.Additionally,the high Mo and low Sr contents in the scheelite are consistent with typical characteristics of magmatic-hydrothermal scheelite.Therefore,considering the geological features of the deposit,the geochemical characteristics of scheelite and the O-H isotope data published previously,it can be concluded that the genesis of the Nuri deposit belongs to porphyry-skarn deposit.

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.

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.

Re-Os isotopic system and formation age of subcontinental lithosphere mantle

The determination of the formation age of subcontinental Lithosphere Mantle (SCLM) is a widely concerned issue in mantle geochemistry. it is difficult to obtain the formation age of SCLM using lithophile isotopic systems such as Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, U-Th-Pb, ete., but as siderophile elements, the Re-Os isotopic system provides a powerful tool for that work. Here a comprehensive review on the recent development in Re-Os dating for SCLM has been given.

Enrichment of Platinum-group Elements(PGE) and Re-Os Isotopic Tracing for Porphyry Copper(Gold) Deposits

Platinum-group elements （PGE） in PGE-rich porphyry copper （gold） deposits are mainly Pt and Pd, whereas the concentrations of other PGE （Ru, Rh, Os, Ir） are significantly low. Moreover, Pt and Pd mainly exist in sulfides in the forms of crystal lattice or tiny platinum-group mineral （PGM） inclusions. The present data show that there is a positive relationship between Pt and Pd concentrations and Cu （Au） in porphyry copper （gold） deposits. The comparison of chondrite-normalized PGE distribution patterns between the ore-bearing porphyry intrusions and ore-barren porphyry intrusions in arc setting, 187^Os/188^Os, 87^Sr/86^Sr and S isotopes for porphyry copper （gold） deposits shows that PGEs were mainly derived from the mantle, and fluids from subduction zones devoted trivial PGE to the magma. The porphyry copper （gold） deposits associated with subducted events are most probably enriched in PGE, whereas those related to crustal thickening, lithospheric delamination or underplating rarely concentrate PGE. The osmium isotopic compositions in porphyry copper （gold） deposits reveal that （187^Os/188^Os）i values are highly variable and not lower than those of primitive upper mantle （PUM） and mantle peridotite, however, osmium concentrations are commonly lower than mantle peridotite, suggesting that parental magmas of some porphyry intrusions had experienced crustal contamination during magma evolution. Experimental investigations have proved that PGE exist in the forms of Cl^- and HS^- complexes during transportation and migration of the oreforming fluids. This paper summarizes previous studies including crucial controlling factors and mechanisms for PGE enrichment, and points out that the mantle-derived magmas parental to porphyry intrusions are the prerequisite for PGE enrichment in porphyry copper （gold） deposits. Favorable physical and chemical conditions （including salinity, temperature, pressure, pH, and oxygen fugacity） in hydrothermal fluids crucially control the PGE enrichment, and sulfur concentrations of melts play important roles in this process as well.

Re-Os Isotopic Age of Molybdenite of the Jingren Deposit and its Mineralogical Significance of Magnetite,Pyrite and Chalcopyrite

The Jingren deposit is part of the Qimantage metallogenic belt within the eastern Kunlun orogenic belt,the largest metallogenic belt in Qinghai Province,northwestern China.Exploration data show that the metal resources of the Jingren deposit are greater than 93000 t in a mining area of 76.15 km2,which indicates significant exploration potential in the near future.Three W–E-trending faults,F1-3,dominate the extension of the mineralization zone,which consists of chalcopyrite,pyrite,magnetite,galena,sphalerite,and molybdenite as well as bismuth-bearing minerals.The deposit contains a large amount of late Triassic intrusive rocks,however,previous research did not reach a consensus on the timing or the origin of the mineralization owing to a lack of geochronological data and poor exposure conditions.In the present study,Re-Os isotopic dating from six molybdenite samples collected from a borehole of the granodiorite in the Jingren deposit using negative thermal ionization mass spectrometry(NTIMS)showed 187 Re and 187 Os concentrations of 0.26–4.40 ppm and 1.03–16.46 ppb,respectively,with an initial 187 Os/188 Os value of 0.06±0.19.This proves that the Jingren deposit has a metallogenic age of(225±4)Ma and is the product of united mineralization of the Qimantage metallogenic belt and that the Jingren deposit might actually be an Indosinian metallogeny.In addition,the Re content of these samples,at 0.42 ppm to 7.00 ppm shows that the mineralization was derived mainly from a crustal source.Furthermore,electron probe microanalysis(EPMA)conducted on chalcopyrite obtained from 22 metallic mineral samples revealed(Fe+Cu)/S ratios of 1.801–1.947 with an average of 1.852,which is lower than the ideal value(1.875).Besides,the main ore body formed in a relatively higher temperature environment than the surrounding rocks in the Jingren deposit.These data indicate that the Jingren deposit formed in a metallogenic environment at lower temperature.Moreover,according to the TiO_(2)-Al_(2)O_(3)-(MgO+MnO)and TiO_(2)-Al_(2)O_(3)-MgO genetic classification diagram for magnetite,the Jingren deposit most likely belongs to the skarn family.In addition,the Co-Ni-As genetic classification diagram of the pyrite indicates sedimentary and skarn genetic characteristics.

Age and metal source of orogenic gold deposits in Southeast Guizhou Province, China: Constraints from Re-Os and He-Ar isotopic evidence

The orogenic gold deposits in Southeast Guizhou are an important component of the Xuefeng polymetallic ore belt and have significant exploration potential, but geochronology research on these gold deposits is scarce. Therefore, the ore genetic models are poorly constrained and remain unclear. In the present study, two important deposits(Pingqiu and Jinjing) are investigated, including combined Re-Os dating and the He-Ar isotope study of auriferous arsenopyrites. It is found that the arsenopyrites from the Pingqiu gold deposit yielded an isochron age of 400 ± 24 Ma,with an initial ^(187)Os/^(188)Os ratio of 1.24 ± 0.57(MSWD = 0.96). An identical isochron age of 400 ± 11 Ma with an initial ^(187)Os/^(188)Os ratio of 1.55 ± 0.14(MSWD = 0.34) was obtained from the Jinjing deposit. These ages correspond to the regional Caledonian orogeny and are interpreted to represent the age of the main stage ore. Both initial ^(187)Os ratios suggest that the Os was derived from crustal rocks. Combined with previous rare earth element(REE), trace elements, Nd-Sr-S-Pb isotope studies on scheelite, inclusion fluids with other residues of gangue quartz, and sulfides from other gold deposits in the region, it is suggested that the ore metals from Pingqiu and Jinjing were sourced from the Xiajiang Group. The He and Ar isotopes of arsenopyrites are characterized by ~3 He/~4 He ratios ranging from 5.3 × 10^(-4) Ra to 2.5 × 10^(-2) Ra(Ra = 1.4 × 10^(-6), the ~3 He/~4 He ratio of air), 40 Ar=/~4 He ratios from 0.64 × 10^(-2) to 15.39×10^(-2), and ^(40)Ar/^(36)Ar ratios from 633.2 to 6582.0. Those noble gas isotopic compositions of fluid inclusions also support a crustal source origin,evidenced by the Os isotope. Meanwhile, recent noble gas studies suggest that the amount of in situ radiogenic ~4 He generated should not be ignored, even when Th and U are present at levels of only a few ppm in host minerals.

富碳质地质样品Re-Os同位素体系研究进展

Re-Os同位素定年技术在富有机质沉积岩、低变质沉积岩、湖相沉积物、煤、油气藏样品等富碳质地质样品的尝试和成功应用,使其成为直接厘定地层沉积时代、重大地质事件发生时限和机制、古环境重建、油气藏直接定年、油气演化过程推演等研究的关键技术手段。然而,受到富碳质地质样品中极低的Re和Os丰度、采样方式以及地质作用等因素的影响,很多样品的Re-Os等时线年龄和初始Os同位素比值精度超过10%,不能有效地评价海水Os的真实来源和地质作用程度,影响了对不同沉积体系及油气演化过程中Re和Os的化学行为和Re-Os等时线年龄地质意义的理解。由此,本文从富碳质地质样品的Re-Os化学行为和地质应用进展出发,对富碳质地质样品Re-Os同位素分析过程中的采样和取样方式、溶样方法、分离富集方式和标准物质选择四方面进行了总结和完善。指出以沉积速率为采样间距参考,通过预处理方式提高样品的均匀性,使用流程空白更低、对同位素分馏影响更小的溶样方法和分离富集方式进行Re-Os同位素分析,以基质匹配的地质标样进行数据监控可进一步提高样品Re-Os同位素分析质量,有助于不同类型富碳质地质样品Re和Os赋存机制研究、Re-Os同位素分析技术开发及地质应用拓展。

Geological Characteristics and Molybdenite Re-Os Isotopic Dating of Shiyaogou Porphyry Molybdenum Deposit,Western Henan Province

The Shiyaogou deposit,located in Songxian,Henan Province,China,is a medium-sized Molybdenum deposit newly discovered in the East Qinling molybdenum belt.Occurring in the altered Proterozoic Xionger Group,mineralization of the deposit consists of molybedenite disseminations and quartz -molybdenite veinlets and stockworks.Hydrothermal alteration is well developed and is composed of potassic alteration,silicification,sericitization,pyriti-

Re-Os isotopic data for molybdenum from Hejiangkou tungsten and tin polymetallic deposit in Chenzhou and its geological significance

Hejiangkou W-Sn-polymetallic deposit is a newly found deposit in Xitian ore field,one of the important and large scale W-Sn-polymetallic ore fields in the middle segment of Nanling metallogenic zone.Re-Os isotope dating was used on three molybdenite samples from Hejiangkou deposit to determine the ore forming period.The result is(224.9±2.6)Ma-(225±3.1)Ma and isochron age is(225.5±3.6)Ma.The field geological observations,geochronological data and optical petrography indicated that Hejiangkou deposit underwent multi-period of superimposed mineralization.It can be differentiated into three periods composed of six mineralization stages.The first period is the initial period for hydrothermal metasomatism and metal element enrichment during Indosinian Epoch.Further enrichment,strong brittle fracturing and hydrothermal metasomatism,remobilization and superimposition happened in the second period,during early Yanshanian.It is the major mineralization period of Hejiangkou deposit and can be subdivided into four mineralization stages,namely the skarn stage,oxide stage,high-temperature sulfide stage and low-temperature sulfide stage.And the third period is the mineralization period of a porphyry-skarn system related to the emplacement of the granite porphyry dyke.As minerogenic epoch of Hejiangkou deposit is similar with Hehuaping deposit,they show the possibility of Indosinian mineralization event in Nanling metallogenic zone.It can be an important perspective in any future mineral exploration in the same metallogenic zone.

Re-Os isotopic dating and geological significance of molybdenite from Xintian Cu-Mo polymetallic deposit in Yanbian,Jilin

Xintian polymetallic deposit is a hydrothermal vein type Cu-Mo deposit. Analysis on Re-Os isotopic dating for the molybdenite from this deposit is undertaken to determine metallogenic epoch and dynamics setting of the deposit. Re-Os isotopic dating for the molybdenite yields model ages ranging from 123. 9 ± 1. 9 Ma to 124. 7 ± 1. 8 Ma,with a weighted mean age of 123. 4 ± 0. 81 Ma,and an isochron age of 127 ± 16 Ma,MSWD= 0. 25,indicating that the metallization was at late Yanshanian. The content of Re in molybdenite is( 330. 1± 4. 0--367. 9 ± 3. 1) × 10^(-6),which demonstrates mantle derived metallogenic sources. Integrating the regional tectonic evolution and the metallogenic characteristics of other contemporaneous Cu-Mo deposits in the region,it is suggested that the Cu-Mo mineralization of this deposit occurred in an active epicontinental environment under lithospheric extension resulted from the subduction of the Izanagi plate to the Paleo-Asia continental margin at late Yanshanian. The Mantle wedge was partially melted with large amount of metallogenic elements dissolved in it. Under the favorable conditions of crust-mantle interaction,large-scale magmatic activity turns out to be the important mechanism of the mineralization of many Cu-Mo deposits in the Xiaoxingan Range--Zhangguangcai Mountain metallogenic belt,including the Xintian Cu-Mo polymetallic deposit.

江西昆山钼钨铜多金属矿床辉钼矿Re-Os年代及其对成矿地球动力学演化的启示

赣南雷公嶂钼矿床辉钼矿Re-Os年龄及其地质意义

雷公嶂钼矿床是赣南地区新发现的一座具中型钼矿找矿前景的独立钼矿床,成矿特征明显区别于赣南已发现的与钨多金属共(伴)生的钼矿床。为确定矿床成矿时代,文章利用高精度ICP-MS辉钼矿Re-Os同位素测年技术,首次获得了雷公嶂钼矿床的辉钼矿Re-Os同位素加权平均模式年龄,为(156.3±1.0)Ma,等时线年龄为(156.9±3.6)Ma,证实了矿床成岩与成矿作用同时发生,形成于南岭地区燕山早期中晚侏罗世(165~150 Ma)。矿床中辉钼矿的w(Re)为6.104×10-6~13.974×10-6,平均为8.507×10-6,结合矿床地质特征和成矿岩体主量元素及Hf同位素等证据,文章认为成矿物质来自地壳,没有地幔物质加入。结合赣南地区成岩与成矿年代学资料,文章认为区内钨钼多金属矿床形成于华南中生代岩石圈大规模伸展-减薄的地球动力学背景。
