Geological and Geochemical Characteristics and Genesis of the Shaxi Porphyry Copper (Gold) Deposits, Anhui Province

The Shaxi porphyry copper (gold) deposits are a typical example of porphyry copper deposits associated with diorite in eastern China. Quartz diorite, which hosts the deposits, has a Rb-Sr isochron age of 127.9 ± 1.6 Ma. Geochemically, the rock is rich in alkalis (especially sodium), light rare earth elements (LREE) and large-ion lithophile elements (LILE), and has a relatively low initial strontium isotopic ratio (Isr=0.7058); thus it is the product of differentiation of crust-mantle mixing source magma. The model of alteration and mineralization zoning is similar to the Hollister (1974) diorite model. The ore fluids have a relatively high salinity and contain significant amounts of CO2, Ca2+, Na+ and ***CI?. The homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions for the main mineralization stage range from 280 to 420°C, the δ18O values of the ore fluids vary from 3.51 to 5.52 %, the δD values are in the range between ?82.4 and ?59.8 %, the δ34S values of sulphides vary from ?0.3 to 2.49 %, and the δ13C values of CO2 in inclusions range between ?2.66 and ?6.53 %. Isotope data indicate that the hydrothermal ore fluids and ore substances of the Shaxi porphyry copper (gold) deposits were mainly derived from magmatic systems.

GEOLOGICAL FEATURES AND FORMATIVE MECHANISM OF THE YULONG PORPHYRY COPPER BELT OF INTRACONTINENTAL REJUVENATED PLATFORM TYPE IN CHINA

Extending in a NNW-SSE direction. the Yulong porphyry copper belt is the largest and richest porphyry copper belt in China, originating in the Paleogene. Tectonically located on the eastern margin of the northern Tibet geodepression. and nearly 500 km of the Himalayan Yarlung Zangbo plate subduction zone of nearly E-W trend. it is a relatively typical intracontinental rejuvenated platform-type porphyry copper belt. Ore-bearing porphyry masses in the belt mainly represented by monzogranite-porphyry occurring as stocks in variegated sandshale of the lower Upper Triassic Jiapila Fromation and its overlying and underlying copper-bearing strata. They are characterized by enrichment in K. CI and LREE. abundant fluid inclusions and a distinct porphyroblastic texture. The oxygen. hydrogen. strotium. lead and sulfur isotopic values of the rock show the feature of crust-mantle mixing.The Orebodies are plpe-shaped stratoid; the mineralization is dominated by Cu and Mo, accompanied by Fe. Co. Au. Ag. Bi. W. Pb. Zn. and Pt-group elements. Alteration is strong. marked mainly by potassic alteration, silicification. skarnization and propylitization. The formation of this type of deposit largely progressed through two stages. The first stage was the stage of formation of Cu-bearing source beds. It occurred in the Triassic. when a transgressive copper-bearing formation was deposited on the western margin of the Qamdo Bay. which was represented by intermediate-acid volcanic rocks and variegated sandshale in the lower part. dolomitic carbonate rocks in the middle and black carbonaceous sandshale in the upper part. In the second stage. composite porphyry copper deposits were formed. This stage took place in the Paleogene. when this district was in a stage of platform rejuvenation. forming a series of NNW-trending deep faults. so that Na, K. Cl. H2O and CO2-rich hydrothermal fluids from the depths were injected into the upper crust and replaced and melted copper-bearing sialic rocks of the upper crust. e. g. the Triassic copper-bearing rock series in the Yulong area. to form porphyroblastic cooper-bearing intermediate-acid porphyry.

THE GEOLOGY AND GENESIS OF THE Q1YUGOU EXPLOSIVE BRECCIA TYPE GOLD DEPOSITS,HENAN PROVINCE

The Qiyugou explosive breccia type gold deposits of northwestern Songxian, Henan Province is situated at the East Qinling, on the southern margin of the North China Platform.The basement rocks are the Archean Taihua Group gneisses which were overlaid by the Proterozoic Xionger Group metaandesites. NW-and NE-trending folds and fractures are well developed. Nlagmatism of the Mid-Late Yanshan Epoch led to the formation of the Huashan granite batholith and a variety of acid/alkali dykes, meanwhile more than thirty explosive breccia bodies had been brought about. The most important deposit type is the explosive breccia type represented by the Qiyugou deposit, meanwhile there are structure fracture altered rock type,the goldbearing quartz vein type, as well as porphyry-breccia type. All these types are the terminal products of the evolution and differentiation of the syntectic magma originated from lower crust or upper mantle. They are controlled by a unified structural pattern occurred in the same

Geological Characteristics and Prospecting Criteria of Senji Molybdenum Ore Body in Urad Houqi, Inner Mongolia, China

Geological Characteristics and Prospecting Indicators of Senji Molybdenum Ore Body in Urad Houqi, Inner Mongolia Based on geological mapping, soil geochemical survey, surface trough exploration and deep drilling verification and control, the Senji Molybdenum deposit was discovered. Geological characteristics of the molybdenum ore body are described. The host lithology of molybdenum ore body is mainly in the cataclastic carbonated black plagioclase gneiss of the second rock member of the Paleoproterozoic Baoyintu Group, followed by Early Carboniferous monzogranite. The genetic type of the deposit is preliminarily deduced to be a hydrothermal filling vein-type molybdenum deposit. The significance of this paper is to summarize the prospecting marks of the molybdenum ore body in this area, so as to further guide the exploration work in this area, and at the same time provide a useful reference for the exploration work of similar deposits in other areas.

Structural Control of the Getang Carlin-Type Gold Deposit in Southwest China

The Getang is a representative Carlin-type gold deposit in Southwest China.It has a proven reserve of about 30 tonnes at an average grade of 5.1 g/t Au.The orebodies occur as strat-abound lenses,and are structurally controlled by shallow NWW-and NE-trending fold-fault systems and the unconformity between the Upper and Middle Permian.In this study,the regional-and deposit-scale structural investigations,joints and finite strain measurements,and stress and dynamic analysis were conducted with an aim to reveal the structural process of the Getang gold deposit and clarify the relationship between the gold mineralization and structures.Three phases of deformation were identified in the deposit:(1)paleokarst was generated by a crustal uplift when the Youjiang Basin experienced extension at the end of the Middle Permian,laying the foundation for the unconformity;(2)the NW-trending structures were formed under a NNE-SSW compression during the Indochina-South China collision(Indosinian orogeny)in Triassic;(3)the NE-trending structures were generated or reactivated under a NW-SE-oriented compression during the Yanshanian intracontinental orogeny.The unconformity recorded two episodes of tectonic evolution in the NNE-SSW and NW-SE directions.Structural analyses and geochronology data suggest that the Getang gold deposit was formed as a result of tectonic transition from compression to extension during the Yanshanian intracontinental orogeny.

Genesis of Xinzhai Sandstone-Type Copper Deposit in Northern Laos: Geological and Geochemical Evidences

Xinzhai sandstone-type copper deposit located in northern Laos lies in the Jiangcheng-Phongsaly-Phrae Mesozoic basin(JPMB), which is regarded as southern extension of the Lanping-Simao Mesozoic basin in China. The copper deposit belt is bounded by the AilaoshanHeishui River fault and the Dian Bien Phu-Luang Prabang fault at the east and Lancang RiverBannankan faults at the west. Two types of orebodies are identified in the Xinzhai area based on geological investigation. One is lamellar copper orebody hosted by the fine lithic feldspar sandstones and feldspar lithic sandstones; another is vein-type orebody. The sulfur isotopic compositions of the chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite are from -11.6‰ to -1.8‰, indicating that sulfur is derived from bacterial sulfate reduction(BSR). δD values of fluid inclusions in ore-bearing quartz samples are from -99‰ to -78‰. The calculated δ^(18)OH_2O values of ore-forming fluid vary from -2.3‰ to 0.4‰ using the quartz-water fractionation equations and the mineralization temperature. Oxygen and hydrogen isotopic compositions show that the ore-forming fluid was derived from basin fluid. Rock-mineral identifications show that both of the mineral grain maturity and the structural maturity are high in the Jurassic Huakaizuo Formation, reflecting a far-source accumulation and lake facies sedimentatary environment. Based on tectonic determination diagram of the Al_2O_3/SiO_2-TFe+MgO, the sandstone samples collected from the Huakaizuo Formation were plotted in the passive continental margin. The collision of the Indian and Eurasian blocks during the Cenozoic formed large-scale strikeslips and thrust nappe structures in margin of the basin. With the tectonic movement, Cu-rich basin fluid from the basement of basin migrated upward along the contemporaneous fault and into the high porosity strata. At the same time, in organic matter-riched condition, bacterial sulfate reduction(BSR) has been triggered, forming a large number of S^(2-) ions, and then precipitation of sulfide started. This mechanism describes the process of copper mineral deposition in the Xinzhai deposit.

粤北书楼丘矿床绿泥石成分特征及其指示意义

绿泥石化是诸广南部长江岩体内书楼丘矿床中典型的成矿早期中低温热液蚀变类型。本文利用光学显微镜、电子探针和扫描电镜等手段对矿体外围水平蚀变带内绿泥石进行了综合研究,根据绿泥石的岩相学特征和成因等,将其划分为裂隙充填型绿泥石、黑云母蚀变型绿泥石、长石蚀变型绿泥石、白云母蚀变型绿泥石和球粒状绿泥石5种类型。这5种绿泥石结构类型相同,均为三八面体富铁型绿泥石,分别属于蠕绿泥石、铁镁绿泥石、鲕绿泥石3个种属。5种类型的绿泥石可能形成于成矿早期同一期流体作用之中,形成温度在219~282℃之间,成矿系统的log f_(O2)值为-47.74~-43.69。综合区域上前人研究成果,认为成矿早期流体是以幔源物质为主的壳幔混合流体,其形成与区域上基性岩脉的侵入作用有关,同时,成矿早期流体具有强还原性,为成矿系统提供了还原性化学障,致使主成矿期流体中携带的U6+被还原沉淀成矿。
