Red Clay Type Gold Deposits in China

Red clay type gold deposits,located in the south of China,are situated not only in orogenic belts,but also in inner cratons,where climate is tropical-subtropical with clear arid and humid.The lateritic weathering crust often can be divided into five zones,including topsoil,siliceous duricrust zone,multi-color zone(or red clay zone in some deposits),pallid zone and saprolite zone from surface to the base rock,several of which are absent in some deposits.The base rocks are composed mainly of carbonate rocks with minor clastic rocks,intermediate-basic volcanic rocks and intermediate-acid and alkalic intrusions.The orebodies are mainly located in the multi-color zone with part of them in the pallid and saprolite zones.The ore sources include orebodies of Carlin-type gold deposits and porphyry gold deposits,as well as gold-rich base rocks.The red clay type gold deposits experienced early-stage endogenic gold mineralization and laterization during the Tertiary and Quaternary.The areas with endogenic gold deposits,especially Carlin-type gold deposits and porphyry gold deposits in karst depressions on the plateau,structual erosional platforms in the middle-lower mountains,and intermountain basins in southern China are well worth studying to trace red clay type gold deposits.

几内亚红土型铝土矿床地质特征

几内亚铝土矿资源丰富,并具有品位高,富铝、高铁、低硅、易采、易选之特点,属富含三水铝石的红土型铝土矿。硅铝铁风化壳是本区的含矿岩系,主要矿石类型为蜂窝状、土状和块状铝土矿。矿体多赋存于山体顶部和坡度适中的斜坡上,地形平坦地段和沟谷部位矿体质量差或无矿体。几内亚属于湿热多雨和干湿交替的热带气候,为红土型铝土矿的形成提供了有利条件。广泛分布的富铝基性岩石是铝土矿的母岩,也是形成铝土矿的基本前提。

云南富宁良子老寨钛铁矿成矿规律和矿床成因

云南富宁地区钛铁矿是我国重要的钛铁矿矿床,成矿条件优越。本文对良子老寨矿区残坡积风化壳型钛铁砂矿床的地质特征、矿体、矿石特征进行了总结和研究,探讨了矿床的矿床成因和成矿规律。海西—印支期偏碱性基性钛辉辉长辉绿岩体为该区钛铁矿的形成提供了物质来源。富宁地区温热潮湿多雨气候有利于风化作用形成,岩体出露地表后,岩体中的钛矿物经风化剥离、水解作用、次生富集、原地残留或近距离搬运沉积,形成了残坡积风化壳型钛铁砂矿床。陡坡、临近河流区域矿体厚度薄,风化作用弱部位品位低;山脊缓坡、河谷阶地、地形低凹地段矿体厚度较大、品位高。本文研究成果能够指导滇东南地区残坡积物风化壳内钛矿的找矿工作。

辽东半岛晚新生代沉积物磁化率特征及初步解释

通过对辽东半岛坡积物、红色风化壳两类沉积物磁化率的测试,揭示了研究区晚新生代以来沉积物磁化率的垂向变化特征及空间分异特征,并初步探讨了其所反映的沉积环境及其古气候变化信息。研究表明：辽东半岛坡积物S1~S4剖面、红色风化壳S5~S6剖面的质量磁化率平均值分别为71.75×10-8、65.81×10-8、68.17×10-8、151.70×10-8和305.06×10-8、473.26×10-8m3/kg,频率磁化率平均值分别为10.77%、9.67%、9.46%、10.79%和14.44%、14.95%;辽东半岛坡积物的质量磁化率值的变化特征、辽东半岛坡积物和红色风化壳剖面的频率磁化率值的变化特征一定程度上反映了其形成时的古气候信息。
