The results show that the main mineralization occurred in 332.05±2.02-332.59±0.51 Ma and 335.53±0.32 Ma-336.78±0.50 Ma for the Kuo'erzhenkuola and Bu'erkesidai gold deposits respectively, indicating that the two deposits are formed almost at the same time, and the metallogenic time of the two deposits are close to those of the hosting rocks formed by volcanic activity of the Sawur gold belt. This geochronological study supplies new evidence for determining the timing of gold mineralization, the geneses of gold deposits, and identifies that in the Hercynian period, the Altay area developed a tectonic-magmatic-hydrothermal mineralization of the Early Carboniferous period, except the two known mineralization periods including the tectonic-magmatic-hydrothermal mineralization of the Devonian period and Late Carboniferous- Permian period.展开更多

The Ka＇erjiao intrusion is mainly composed of albite granite porphyry, K-feldspar granite porphyry, ivernlte and granite porphyry. Being a transitional product between magma intrusion and eruption in the Sawur region, the Ka＇erjiao intrusion was formed at the telophase of the late Carboniferous to the begining of early Permian as determined by the SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating, with an age of 302.6±7.6 Ma （1 σ）. The intrusion consists of alkali-enriched rock, whose REE distribution patterns are of the LREE enrichment type, the δEu value is low and Nd, St, Pb isotopes reflect its mantle source characteristics. The δ^18O value of intrusion is low as a result of isotope exchange with meteoric water. The geochemical characteristics show that it was formed in a post-collisional tectonic setting. Taking combined considerations of current studies of A-type granites and Permian volcanic rocks, we think that in the telophase of the late Carboniferous to the beginning of the early Permian, the Sawur region was within the extension or compressional to extensional period of a post-collisionai stage. The Ka＇erjiao intrusion from mantle sources can confirm the vertical continental crust growth in the late Paleozoic. The Sawur region in west Junggar is consistent with east Junggar in post-collisionai tectonic evolution process.展开更多
