Geochemical Characteristics and Significance of Major Elements, Trace Elements and REE in Mineralized Altered Rocks of Large-Scale Tsagaan Suvarga Cu-Mo Porphyry Deposit in Mongolia

The alteration types of the large-scale Tsagaan Suvarga Cu-Mo porphyry deposit mostly comprise stockwork silicification, argillization, quartz-sericite alteration, K-silicate alteration, and propylitization. The mineralized and altered zones from hydrothermal metallogenic center to the outside successively are Cu-bearing stockwork silicification zone, Cu-beating argillized zone, Cu-Mo-bearing quartz-sericite alteration zone, Cu-Mo-bearing K-silicate alteration zone, and pro- pylitization zone. The K-silicate alteration occurred in the early phase, quartz-sericite alteration in the medium phase, and argillization and carbonatization （calcite） in the later phase. Ore-bearing-altered rocks are significantly controlled by the structure and fissure zones of different scales, and NE- and NW-trending fissure zones could probably be the migration pathways of the porphyry hydrothermal system. Results in this study indicated that the less the concentrations of REE, LREE, and HREE and the more the extensive fractionation between LREE and HREE, the closer it is to the center circulatory hydrothermal ore-forming and the more extensive silicification. The exponential relationship between the fractionation of LREE and HREE and the intensity of silicification and K-silicate alteration was found in the Cu-Mo deposit studied. The negative Eu anomaly, normal Eu, positive Eu anomaly and obviously positive Eu anomaly are coincident with the enhancement of Na2O and K2O concentrations gradually, which indicated that Eu anomaly would be significantly controlled by the alkaline metasomatism of the circulatory hydrothermal ore-forming system. Therefore, such characteristics as the positive Eu anomaly, the obvious fractionation between LREE and HREE and their related special alteration lithofacies are suggested to be metallogenic prognostic and exploration indications for Tsagaan Suvarga-style porphyry Cu-Mo deposits in Mongolia and China.

蒙古查干苏布尔加(Tsagaan Suvarga)大型斑岩型铜钼矿床含矿蚀变岩常量、微量和稀土元素地球化学特征及意义

蒙古Tsagaan Suvarga大型斑岩型铜钼矿床围岩蚀变类型主要有网脉状硅化、泥化、石英-绢云母化、钾硅酸岩化和青盘岩化。从热液成矿中心向外的矿化蚀变分带特征为含铜网脉状硅化蚀变带→含铜泥化带→含铜钼石英-绢云母化带→含铜钼钾硅酸岩化带→青盘岩化带。早期为钾硅酸岩化带,中期为石英-绢云母化和硅化,晚期为泥化带和碳酸盐化(方解石)。含矿蚀变岩明显受不同级次构造-裂隙带控制,北东向和北西向裂隙带可能是斑岩成矿热液体系的运移通道。随着接近循环热液成矿体系的成矿中心和硅化不断增强,REE,LREE和HREE含量降低,轻和重稀土元素之间分异程度增强;轻和重稀土元素之间分异程度与硅化-钾硅酸盐化之间关系具有指数关系。随着(Na2O+K2O)含量逐渐增高,从负Eu异常→无Eu异常→正Eu异常→明显正Eu异常,说明Eu异常受循环热液成矿体系的碱交代程度控制明显,因此,正Eu异常、轻和重稀土元素之间分异程度明显及其相关围岩蚀变特征是寻找与蒙古Tsagaan Suvarga斑岩型铜钼矿床类似的找矿预测指标。

蒙古国查干苏布尔加大型铜-钼矿床地质特征及成因

查干苏布尔加斑岩铜钼矿床位于西伯利亚板块南缘近东西向和北东向深大断裂所夹持的南蒙古构造岩浆带内,容矿围岩二长花岗斑岩与花岗闪长斑岩主量元素高SiO2(64.69×10-2~73.42×10-2),高Al2O3(15.33×10-2~18.35×10-2),贫MgO(0.13×10-2~0.56×10-2),微量元素Sr二长花岗斑岩略低(144×10-6~175×10-6),花岗闪长斑岩表现为高Sr(样品>300×10-6,476×10-6~720×10-6),二者均低Y(Y<18×10-6,2.21×10-6~10.20×10-6),低Yb(Yb<1.9×10-6,0.30×10-6~1.48×10-6),高Sr/Y(Sr/Y>20,21.8~63.52),稀土元素特征为亏损重稀土,无明显负铕异常,(87Sr/86Sr)i=0.70154~0.70397,(143Nd/144Nd)i=0.512290~0.512600,εNd(t)为+2.4^+8.5,二长花岗斑岩和花岗闪长斑岩均具有埃达克质岩特征,但二长花岗斑岩与花岗闪长斑岩主、微量和稀土元素又存在一定差别,它们可能是岩浆不同演化阶段的产物。通过年龄测定,获得辉钼矿Re-Os等时线年龄为(370.0±5.9)Ma,二长花岗斑岩锆石SHRIMPU-Pb加权平均年龄为(365.7±3.6)Ma,铜钼矿形成时代与二长花岗斑岩形成时代相近,均形成于晚泥盆世。铜钼矿床与二长花岗斑岩、花岗闪长斑岩紧密共生,矿区范围内二长花岗斑岩与花岗闪长斑岩多被蚀变并矿化,表明二长花岗斑岩、花岗闪长斑岩与铜钼矿化存在密切的时空关系,为铜钼成矿提供了主要成矿物质和流体来源。

蒙古南戈壁欧玉陶勒盖铜(金)矿床地质特征及其对我国找矿勘查工作的启示

近二十年来,蒙古南戈壁成矿带在寻找大宗金属矿产方面取得丰硕成果,发现了欧玉陶勒盖和查干苏布尔加等与古亚洲洋晚泥盆世岛弧演化有关的大型斑岩型矿床。研究表明:1)欧玉陶勒盖—查干苏布尔加地区在法门期弧岩浆与矿化作用之后,经历了短暂的抬升和剥蚀过程,随后被石炭纪火山-沉积岩所覆盖。两个矿床皆被埋藏于法门期(D_3)—杜内期(C_1)不整合面之下;2)矿床现今出露于石炭纪—二叠纪岩体包围的"天窗"中,矿体能否保存与其上覆岩层遭受的剥蚀程度有关;3)近EW向展布的蒙古南戈壁成矿带在欧玉陶勒盖—查干苏布尔加地区受三叠纪—早白垩世准巴彦断裂左旋走滑运动的影响,局部转变为NE走向,向东可延伸至中国境内东乌旗一带。因此,在中国内蒙古东乌旗地区开展的找矿勘查工作应重点关注法门期(D_3)—杜内期(C_1)不整合之下的晚泥盆世侵入体及其围岩,并在成矿远景区进行相应的区域构造解析研究。
