The dilemma of the Jiaodong gold deposits: Are they unique?

The ca. 126e120 Ma Au deposits of the Jiaodong Peninsula, eastern China, define the country＇s largest gold province with an overall endowment estimated as＆gt;3000 t Au. The vein and disseminated ores are hosted by NE-to NNE-trending brittle normal faults that parallel the margins of ca. 165e150 Ma, deeply emplaced, lower crustal melt granites. The deposits are sited along the faults for many tens of kilometers and the larger orebodies are associated with dilatational jogs. Country rocks to the granites are Pre-cambrian high-grade metamorphic rocks located on both sides of a Triassic suture between the North and South China blocks. During early Mesozoic convergent deformation, the ore-hosting structures developed as ductile thrust faults that were subsequently reactivated during Early Cretaceous ＂Yan-shanian＂intracontinental extensional deformation and associated gold formation. 〈br〉 Classification of the gold deposits remains problematic. Many features resemble those typical of orogenic Au including the linear structural distribution of the deposits, mineralization style, ore and alteration assemblages, and ore fluid chemistry. However, Phanerozoic orogenic Au deposits are formed by prograde metamorphism of accreted oceanic rocks in Cordilleran-style orogens. The Jiaodong de-posits, in contrast, formed within two Precambrian blocks approximately 2 billion years after devolati-lization of the country rocks, and thus require a model that involves alternative fluid and metal sources for the ores. A widespread suite of ca. 130e123 Ma granodiorites overlaps temporally with the ores, but shows a poor spatial association with the deposits. Furthermore, the deposit distribution and mineral-ization style is atypical of ores formed from nearby magmas. The ore concentration requires fluid focusing during some type of sub-crustal thermal event, which could be broadly related to a combination of coeval lithospheric thinning, asthenospheric upwelling, paleo-Pacific plate subduction, and seismicity along the continental-scale Tan-Lu fault. Possible ore genesis scenarios include those where ore fluids were produced directly by the metamorphism of oceanic lithosphere and overlying sediment on the subducting paleo-Pacific slab, or by devolatilization of an enriched mantle wedge above the slab. Both the sulfur and gold could be sourced from either the oceanic sediments or the serpentinized mantle. A better understanding of the architecture of the paleo-Pacific slab during Early Cretaceous below the eastern margin of China is essential to determination of the validity of possible models.

Measurement of Metallogenic Depth and Deep Second Enrichment Belt Forecasting in Jiaodong Gold Deposit

The depth is important for ore finding in Jiaodong gold deposit. However, many geologists are still discussing how to confirm the depth for the tectonic and metallogenesis formation. The authors of this paper propose a new method-the correction of metallogenic depth via its structure to calculate the depth. This method, based on the crust rock in a solid stress state, emphasizes the elastic pattern rather than the static fluid pattern. In addition, this method is more appropriate to the actual situation in the crust than the method of weight/special weight. The authors of this paper illustrating, with the Jiaodong gold deposit as an example, the metallogenic depth correction via structure conclude that the depth of the most deposits, lower than 4-6 km, is often 2.5 km. Therefore, the authors suggest that there exists a second enrichment belt and that ore resources are more potential at the belt of Jiaodong area. These results have been demonstrated by years of exploration.

World-class Xincheng gold deposit： An example from the giant Jiaodong gold province

The Jiaodong gold deposits are currently the most important gold resources（with Au reserves of〉4000 t） in China,and the leading gold-producing country globally（with Au production of ～428 t in2013）.Jiaodong is also considered as perhaps the only world-class to giant gold accumulation on the planet where relatively young gold ores（ca.130-120 Ma） were deposited in rocks that are 2 Ga older.The Xincheng world-class high-grade gold deposit,with a proven reserve of 〉200 t gold,is one of the largest deposits in the giant gold province of the Jiaodong Peninsula.It is located in the northwestern part of the jiaobei Uplift,and hosted by ca.132-123 Ma Xincheng quartz monzonites and monzogranites.Ore zones are structurally controlled by the NE-trending and NW-dipping Jiaojia Fault and subsidiary faults,and are mainly restricted to the footwall of the fault.The dominant disseminated- and stockworkstyle ores are associated with strong sericitization,silicification,sulfidation and K-feldspathization,and minor carbonate wallrock alteration halos.The four mineralization stages are pyrite-quartz-sericite（stage 1）,quartz-pyrite（stage 2）,quartz-polysulfide（stage 3） and quartz-carbonate（stage 4）.Gold occurs dominantly as electrum,with lesser amounts of sulfide-hosted native gold and rare native silver and argentite,normally associated with pyrite,chalcopyrite,galena and sphalerite：the latter with proven resources of about 105 t Ag,713 t Cu,and 5100 t S.There are three types of ore-related fluid inclusions：type 1 aqueous-carbonate（H2O-CO2）,type 2aqueous（liquid H2O＋vapor H2O）,and type 3 CO2（liquid CO2 and vapor CO2） inclusions.Homogenization temperatures range from 221 to 304℃ for type 1 inclusions,with salinities of 2.4-13.3 wt.%NaCl eq.,and bulk densities of 0.858-1.022 g/cm～3.The δ～（34）S（CDT） values of hydrothermal sulfides are 4.3-10.6‰and δ～（18）O values of hydrothermal quartz have a median value of 13.0‰.δD values of fluid inclusions in hydrothermal quartz have a median value of-75‰.Calculated δ～（18）Owater has a median value of 5.2‰.The timing of gold mineralization at the Xincheng gold deposit is younger than 123±1 Ma,and likely between 120.9 and 119.9 Ma.A minerals system genetic model for the probable epizonal orogenic Xincheng deposit suggests an initial medium temperature,CO2-rich,and low salinity H2O-CO2 deeply sourced metamorphic ore fluid associated with dehydration and decarbonization of subducting Paleo-Pacific lithosphere.The Jiaojia Fault constrained the migration of ore-forming fluids and metals at the brittle-ductile transition.Fluid immiscibility,caused by episodic pressure drops,led to significant high-grade gold deposition in the giant Xincheng gold deposit.

Geological and Fluid Inclusion Constraints on Gold Deposition Processes of the Dayingezhuang Gold Deposit, Jiaodong Peninsula, China

The Dayingezhuang gold deposit,hosted mainly by Late Jurassic granitoids on Jiaodong Peninsula in eastern China,contains an estimated 170 t of gold and is one of the largest deposits within the Zhaoping fracture zone.The orebodies consist of auriferous altered pyrite–sericite–quartz granites that show Jiaojia-type(i.e.,disseminated and veinlet)mineralization.Mineralization and alteration are structurally controlled by the NE-to NNE-striking Linglong detachment fault.The mineralization can be divided into four stages:(K-feldspar)–pyrite–sericite–quartz,quartz–gold–pyrite,quartz–gold–polymetallic sulfide,and quartz–carbonate,with the majority of the gold being produced in the second and third stages.Based on a combination of petrography,microthermometry,and laser Raman spectroscopy,three types of fluid inclusion were identified in the vein minerals:NaCl–H2 O(A-type),CO2–H2 O–NaCl(AC-type),and pure CO2(PC-type).Quartz crystals in veinlets that formed during the first stage contain mainly AC-type fluid inclusions,with rare PC-type inclusions.These fluid inclusions homogenize at temperatures of 251°C–403°C and have low salinities of 2.2–9.4 wt%NaCl equivalent.Quartz crystals that formed in the second and third stages contain all three types of fluid inclusions,with total homogenization temperatures of 216°C–339°C and salinities of 1.8–13.8 wt%NaCl equivalent for the second stage and homogenization temperatures of 195°C–321°C and salinities of 1.4–13.3 wt%NaCl equivalent for the third stage.In contrast,quartz crystals that formed in the fourth stage contains mainly A-type fluid inclusions,with minor occurrences of AC-type inclusions;these inclusions have homogenization temperatures of 106°C–287°C and salinities of 0.5–7.7 wt%NaCl equivalent.Gold in the ore-forming fluids may have changed from Au(HS)0 as the dominant species under acidic conditions and at relatively high temperatures and f O2 in the early stages,to Au(HS)2–under neutral-pH conditions at lower temperatures and f O2 in the later stages.The precipitation of gold and other metals is inferred to be caused by a combination of fluid immiscibility and water–rock interaction.

Two Super-Large Gold Deposits Have Been Discovered in Jiaodong Peninsula of China

During 2015, gold prospecting in Laizhou City of Shandong Peninsula in China has achieved a major breakthrough. Deposits containing 470 and 389 tons of gold metal were discovered in the northern sea area of Sanshandao and the Shaling area, respectively. As a result, the gold prospective resources in the entire Jiaodong Peninsula have now exceeded 4000 tons, fully indicative of the super-large prospecting potential of the Jiaojia-type deposits.

Metallogenic Epoch of Nonferrous Metallic and Silver Deposits in the Jiaodong Peninsula, China and its Geological Significance

As China＇s most important gold-producing district, the Jiaodong Peninsula also contains copper, lead-zinc, molybdenum （tungsten）, and other nonferrous metal ore deposits, but the space-time and genetic relationships with gold deposits remain uncertain. To investigate the temporal relationship between these nonferrous metal and gold ore deposits, We collected the samples from a number of nonferrous metallic and silver deposits and metallogenetic rock bodies in the eastern Jiaodong Peninsula for isotopic dating. The results show that the Re-Os isotopic model ages of the Lengjia molybdenum deposit in Rongcheng range from 114.5 ± 1.8 Ma to 112.6 ± 1.5 Ma, with an average age of 113.6 ± 1.6 Ma; the LA-ICP-MS ^206pb/^238U ages of 33 zircons in the sericitization porphyritic monzogranite that hosts the Tongjiazhuang silver deposit in Rongcheng range between 122 Ma and 109 Ma, with a weighted mean age of 116.04 ± 0.95 Ma; the LA-ICP-MS ^206pb/^238U ages of 31 zircons in the copper metallogenic pyroxene monzodiorite that hosts the Kuangbei copper deposit in Rongcheng range from 126 Ma to 106 Ma, with a weighted mean age of 116.6 ± 1.7 Ma; and the LA-ICP-MS ^206pb/^238U ages of 19 zircons in the pyroxene monzodiorite surrounding the Dadengge gold and multimetal deposit in Weihai range from 113 Ma to 110 Ma, with a weighted mean age of 111.7 ± 0.6 Ma. All these results indicate that the metallogenic ages of the silver and nonferrous metallic deposits in the Jiaodong Peninsula are in a limited range from 118 Ma to 111 Ma. Previous studies have demonstrated that the isotopic ages of gold deposits in the Jiaodong Peninsula range from 123 Ma to 110 Ma, while Weideshanian magmatism occurred between 126 Ma to 108 Ma. Both these ranges are grossly consistent with the metallogenic ages of silver and nonferrous metallic deposits in this study, suggesting that the large-scale mineralization occurred in the Early Cretaceous when magmatic activities were strong. This epoch may be linked to the lithosphere thinning and the thermo-upwelling extension in eastern China at that time. In addition, field investigation also shows that gold and nonferrous metallic deposits are distributed nearby the Weideshanian granite, with the nonferrous metallic deposits lying within or surrounding the granite pluton and the gold deposits outside the granite pluton. We propose the following mineralization scenario： In the Early Cretaceous, an intensive lithospheric extension induced partial melting and degassing of the metasomatized lithospheric mantle, which resulted in the formation of mantle-derived fluids enriched in metal elements. During the rapid process of magma ascent and intrusion, crust-derived fluids were activated by the magmatic thermal dome and served to further extract ore-forming materials from the crust. These fluids may have mixed with the mantle-derived fluid to form a crust-mantle mixing-type ore-forming fluid. The high-temperature conditions in the center or in contact with the granitic magmatic thermal dome would have been favorable for the formation of porphyry-type, skarn-type, and hydrothermal-vein-type ores, thus forming a series of Mo（W）, Cu, and Pb-Zn deposits in the mid-eastern Jiaodong Peninsula. In contrast, the medium- to low-temperature conditions in the periphery of the magmatic thermal dome would have favored the deposition of gold （silver） ores under the appropriate physiochemical and structural conditions. The metaliogenic epoch of the molybdenum, copper, and silver deposits, and their spatio-temporal and genetic relations to the gold deposits, as demonstrated in this study, not only provide important insights to the study of regional metallogeny, our understanding of the metallogenesis of the Jiaodong type gold deposit, and the geodynamic background of the large-scale mineralization in the Jiaodong Peninsula, but also have practical value in guiding the mineral exploration.

Preliminary studies of fluid inclusions in Damoqujia gold deposit along Zhaoping fault zone,Shandong province,China

The Damoqujia gold deposit,discovered recently and located in the north of Zhaoping fault zone,is a large altered rock type deposit.In this paper,we report the preliminary research results of the fluid inclusions and discuss its metallogenic implications. The homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions fall into four ranges:310～350℃,230～270℃,160～200℃and 110～150℃; corresponding to the four stages of hydrothermal ore-forming processes:coarse grain pyrite-milk white quartz stage(Ⅰ),smoky gray Au-bearing quartz-fine grain pyrite stage(Ⅱ),Au-bearing polymetallic sulfide-quartz stage(Ⅲ),and quartz-carbonate stage(Ⅳ). Ore-forming fluid is with low salinity and low density,ranging from 1.4 Wt_(NaCl)% to 13.6 Wt_(NaCl)% and from 0.48g/cm^3 to 1.03g/cm^3 respectively.The inclusions are dominated by H_2O and CO_2 in gaseous compositions,and Na^+ and K^+ in positive ions,SO_4^(2-)and Cl^- in negative ions of liquid compositions.Au-S complex is the major form for transportation of gold.The pressure varied from 260MPa to 340MPa during the formation of CO_2-bearing inclusions at the early mineralization;the fluids are rich in SO_4^(2-)and Na^+.The pressure is 26-49×10~5 Pa during the formation of the aqueous salt inclusions in late mineralization,the inclusions are rich in CI^-(F^-), Na^+.δ^(18)O_(qurrtz)is 10.64～12.68%o,and the correspondingδ^(18)O_(H_2)O andδD is-5.44～6.47‰and-95.52～-106.48‰respectively.Based on the studies about compositions and hydrogen and oxygen isotopes of inclusions,it is evidenced that ore-forming fluid is magmatic hydrothermal fluid in early period,but affected by meteoric water in late.

胶东是全球唯一已知赋存于前寒武纪变质地体中的晚中生代巨型金矿省,其成矿系统独具特色,具体表现为:(1)位于陆内复合构造域,经历了多期重大构造-热事件,大规模金成矿作用受控于120±2Ma古太平洋板块俯冲方向变化及其诱发的软流圈上涌、岩石圈改造和伸展-挤压变形交替及控矿断裂剪压-剪张转换;(2)多重控矿构造和多样赋矿建造联合控制了不同规模和类型金矿的发育,形成了三山岛、焦家、招平、栖霞、郭即和牟乳六条NE向金矿带和三山岛-栖霞EW向富金廊带,导致了金矿化类型(焦家式/破碎带蚀变岩型、玲珑式/石英脉型、蓬家夼式/蚀变砾岩±角砾岩型、辽上式/黄铁矿-碳酸盐脉型)及其地质-地球化学特征的多样性;(3)主要矿化元素Au、Ag、Cu、Pb和Zn均达到工业利用要求,并有多种共/伴生关键金属超常富集;(4)不同金矿带中硫化物Pb同位素组成与探明金资源储量及到郯庐断裂带的距离线性相关,反映距离幔源流体主通道越近、金属硫化物中放射性成因Pb含量和幔源组分占比越多、金成矿强度越大;(5)区域总体相对均一的Δ199 Hg(平均~0.012‰)及Δ199 Hg/Δ201 Hg与金品位呈线性负相关,表明成矿物质来源于富集岩石圈地幔、且地幔被俯冲洋壳及其上覆沉积物交代的程度控制了金品位的高低;(6)区域恒定的Δ33 S同位素组成(~0‰)排除了巨量金源自太古宙变质基底及其重熔花岗岩的可能,重的δ34 S(平均9.0±3.7‰)来源于俯冲的古太平洋板片及其上覆沉积物的脱挥发份;不同金矿带Δ33 S/δ34 S与探明金资源储量及其到郯庐断裂带距离线性相关,反映成矿期地壳伸展程度控制了金成矿强度;(7)区域He-Ar和H-O同位素组成显示壳幔混合特征,焦家式金矿的成矿流体组成更靠近地幔、玲珑式金矿位于地幔与地壳过渡带;三山岛、焦家和招平金矿带的成矿流体相对接近幔源流体,而郭即金矿带具有相对开放的构造环境;不同金矿带氢-氧同位素组成和探明金资源储量正相关,可能表征了从西到东成矿流体通量和流体-岩石反应强度逐渐降低。基于对上述特征的总结,提出了胶东型金矿的成因模式,明确了其成矿地球动力学背景和深部驱动、巨量金属和流体及络合物来源、输运通道和方式、源→汇过程和机制、成矿后变化和保存等成矿系统形成的关键因素,确立了“拆离断裂系与基底活化带及幔源流体通道复合控矿”的勘查思路和“四步式”的勘查模型。综上,胶东金矿不同尺度的鉴别特征及其形成的关键因素明显不同于全球已知的其他金矿类型,难以被已有成矿模式所涵盖,属于一种新的金矿类型——胶东型,其成因模式对华北、华南、西伯利亚、西澳伊尔岗、北美怀俄明和南美圭亚那等陆内金矿床具有普适性;系列找矿突破则验证了该成因模式与勘查模型的合理性和适用性。因此,本文认为胶东型金矿是全球研究热点和重要的金矿勘查方向,而该地区找矿的主攻目标是资源量大且品位和产状稳定的破碎带蚀变岩型金矿。

胶东金矿与中生代区域性花岗岩关系及成矿预测和找矿方向

胶东地区是世界著名的金矿资源基地,截至2023年6月已累计探明金矿资源量已达5757余吨。与金矿成矿密切的中生代花岗岩分布广泛,岩石类型多样,也是山东省最发育、最典型的地区。本文对胶东地区金矿与中生代区域性花岗岩空间展布、形成时代和形成环境等关系进行了分析研究。区域性广泛分布的中生代花岗岩为晚侏罗世玲珑期(166~146 Ma)、早白垩世早期郭家岭期(135~123 Ma)、早白垩世晚期伟德山期(123~110 Ma)和崂山期(118~108 Ma),研究认为区域性岩浆事件一般持续10 Ma左右,而重熔型花岗岩一般持续20 Ma,反映了由基底岩石熔融到侵入结晶的2个阶段,它有一个由基底固体岩石熔融的过程,大致也需要10 Ma,既固体岩石熔融10 Ma,熔浆活动上侵结晶10 Ma。玲珑期重熔型花岗岩是扬子板块和华北板块碰撞的期后产物,郭家岭期岩浆事件代表了中国东部中生代构造体制转换的开始,伟德山期岩浆事件代表了构造体制转换的高峰期,崂山期岩浆事件代表了构造体制转换的结束期。86.8%的金矿赋存在玲珑期花岗岩中,6.9%的金矿赋存于郭家岭期花岗岩中,玲珑期花岗岩和郭家岭期花岗岩Au元素背景值明显高于伟德山期花岗岩和崂山期花岗岩。矿石硫与玲珑期花岗岩、郭家岭期花岗岩范围相近,特别是与玲珑期花岗岩大范围重叠,具有岩浆热液硫同位素变化小的特点,说明矿石硫主要源为玲珑期花岗岩、郭家岭期花岗岩。矿石铅主要为再活化的下地壳铅,即前寒武纪结晶基底铅,有幔源铅加入。金矿成矿年龄有162~146 Ma、133~120 Ma、120~115 Ma、112~105 Ma共4个区间范围,与胶东地区四期区域性花岗岩形成时间对应,成矿年龄一般晚于成岩年龄3~5 Ma。根据胶东金矿及多金属矿与岩浆热液事件对应关系,划分为玲珑金成矿期、郭家岭金成矿期、伟德山金及多金属成矿期和崂山多金属成矿期。胶东地区金矿主要是新太古代变质地层和古元古代底部片岩层位经过重熔作用金元素活化、迁移、富集和郭家岭期岩浆作用成矿。基于以上成矿作用认识,根据地球化学块体理论,对胶东金矿潜力进行了估算,胶东地区3000 m以浅金矿潜力约为1.8万t,同时对胶西北深部金矿进行了系统预测,预测3000 m以浅金资源量3997 t,5000 m以浅7497 t。通过地质综合研究,栖霞地区中新太古代变质岩下部有隐伏玲珑期花岗岩,根据金矿主要赋存在玲珑期花岗岩中的空间展布,S、Pb等同位素以及玲珑期花岗岩是金矿成矿直接围岩或母岩的认识,该地区变质岩中发育众多的石英脉型中小型金矿和矿(化)点,可能是浅部或顶部矿体的表现,认为该地区具有良好的成矿背景和潜力,是胶东地区今后金矿找矿的重要地区和方向。并建议在该地区部署地震和大功率激电剖面及地质科研钻探,查清一系列NE向断裂和地质结构,为金矿找矿提供科学依据。

山东栖霞大河崖金矿床包裹体特征研究及矿床成因初探

大河崖金矿床地处华北克拉通南缘的胶辽隆起区,栖霞—蓬莱金成矿带上,其空间产出受台前—陡崖断裂带和岩浆活动制约。为研究该矿床成矿流体特征及矿床成因,本文对其开展不同阶段的包裹体进行岩相学、显微测温、包裹体激光拉曼及S同位素分析。测试结果表明,包裹体可划分为Ⅰ型富液气液两相盐水包裹体、Ⅱ型含CO_(2)三相包裹体和Ⅲ型纯液相包裹体3类,矿石中的包裹体类型以气液二相包裹体和含CO_(2)三相包裹体为主。成矿期流体完全均一温度变化范围为216~298℃,盐度为3.71%~9.98%NaCleqv,密度为0.80~0.90 g/cm^(3)。成矿晚期流体完全均一温度变化范围为124~181℃,盐度2.41%~5.56%,密度0.91~0.98 g/cm^(3)。表明该矿床属于中低温、中低盐度、低密度的热液脉型矿床。从主成矿期(Ⅱ和Ⅲ阶段)到成矿晚期(Ⅳ阶段),成矿温度和盐度降低,成矿密度略有升高。矿石中黄铁矿δ^(34)S变化范围为+5.1‰~+6.51‰,与栖霞—蓬莱金成矿带其他金矿床基本一致。显示主要为岩浆硫,成矿物质可能来源于深部岩浆。根据流体包裹体及同位素研究并结合区域地质特征,大河崖金矿床的成矿与白垩世岩浆关系密切,受台前—陡崖断裂带控制,在其次级断裂形成沉淀富集成矿。

胶东大尹格庄金矿碳酸盐矿物的特征、物源及其在金成矿过程中的作用

胶东金矿的成因研究一直是矿床学研究的热点,其中金的物质来源与活化、沉淀机制是最受关注的问题之一。大尹格庄金矿位于胶西北地区的招平断裂带中段,是区内典型的超大型破碎蚀变岩型金矿,以存在大量碳酸盐脉而有别于区内其他金矿床,这些热液成因的碳酸盐脉对该矿区Au成矿具有重要作用,因而是破解胶东巨量Au物质来源和成矿机制的良好对象。本研究通过细致的岩相学观察,发现大尹格庄金矿中的碳酸盐矿物主要包括菱铁矿和方解石,以脉状、浸染状存在于黄铁绢英岩型矿石中,其中部分菱铁矿与黄铁矿等金属硫化物共生,其他菱铁矿则与石英共生,方解石则呈浸染状和脉状两种形式产出,菱铁矿和方解石均为热液型碳酸盐矿物。扫描电子显微镜研究表明,在菱铁矿和方解石中均发现有金矿物的存在。Au含量分析结果表明,菱铁矿和方解石是大尹格庄金矿的重要载金矿物,形成于成矿作用的主要阶段。碳酸盐矿物原位微区稀土元素数据也显示出热液型碳酸盐矿物的特征;同位素地球化学数据显示大尹格庄金矿中碳酸盐矿物与胶东地区前寒武纪变质基底中的大理岩明显不同。C-O同位素分析显示,大尹格庄金矿中菱铁矿的δ^(13)CPDB为-5.12‰~-4.82‰,δ^(18)OSMOW为12.13‰~12.80‰,具有明显的幔源特征;而方解石δ^(13)CPDB为-0.64‰,δ^(18)OSMOW为6.21‰,显示出幔源流体在上升过程中受到了一定程度的围岩的影响。金矿中菱铁矿显示轻稀土相对亏损,重稀土相对富集,有轻微的负Eu异常,(87Sr/86Sr)i为0.709842~0.710087,εNd(t)为-18.5~-17.1;方解石的(87Sr/86Sr)i为0.710861,εNd(t)为-12.7,指示形成碳酸盐矿物的CO_(2)流体可能来自于幔源的基性岩浆。结合胶东以及整个华北克拉通中生代地质演化,本文认为胶东巨量金可能来自于富集的岩石圈地幔,成矿物质随这些幔源基性岩浆的活动沿断层等壳内软弱面向上运移,而CO_(2)流体在这个过程中起到了促进作用,并随含金流体最终运移至地壳浅部发生金成矿作用。

胶东金矿集区是中国最大的黄金产地,焦家金矿带是重要的成矿亚带之一,产出了一系列超大型、大型金矿床,资源量占整个胶东地区的1/4,招贤金矿床为焦家带深部的大型金矿床。对招贤金矿床深部成矿潜力的评价可为焦家金矿带乃至胶东地区的金矿床深部找矿预测提供科学依据。文章选取了招贤金矿床3个钻孔6个不同标高的矿石样品,进行了详细的矿物学、成矿元素以及黄铁矿热电性特征研究。通过扫描电镜及半定量成分分析,鉴别了银金矿是主要的金矿物,常以包体的形式赋存于黄铁矿中或其裂隙中。金矿床围岩蚀变分带明显,显示了较强的矿化作用,其矿物共生组合和多阶段的成矿特征与胶东其他超大型金矿床相似。通过Au等成矿元素分析,笔者认为Au及其相关性高的元素具有规律性的垂向变化特征,元素沉淀具有垂向间断性。利用原位黄铁矿热电性测试方法,精准测定了黄铁矿热电性参数,并通过热电系数离散程度、热电性导型、形成温度、延伸指数等计算分析,综合讨论了金矿床成矿潜力,认为招贤金矿床及焦家金成矿带的深部具有较好的找矿前景。

胶东西岭金矿床黄铁矿热电性特征及深部找矿意义

西岭金矿床位于三山岛金矿床东侧,是当前胶东金矿集区内新发现的单一矿体规模最大、埋藏最深的金矿床。在地质观察的基础上,开展了不同深度的黄铁矿热电性特征研究。结果表明:西岭金矿床黄铁矿热电系数离散范围和离散度整体较大且相对稳定;浅部黄铁矿热电导型均为N型,而深部均为P型;成矿温度主要集中在250~360℃之间,属中—高温热液型金矿床;计算得出黄铁矿热电导型变化梯度值较小,并估算出矿体剥蚀率约为75%。综合黄铁矿各类热电性特征参数,认为西岭金矿床深部仍有较大的找矿前景,矿体最大埋深可达-3000 m标高。已知金矿体具有向NE侧伏的规律,认为沿着NE侧伏方向至-3000 m标高处是有效的深部找矿靶区位置。西岭金矿床黄铁矿热电性特征研究可为胶东地区金矿床的深部找矿预测提供科学依据。

胶东是我国最重要的金成矿区,水旺庄金矿床是招平断裂带上近年来探获最大的深部特大型金矿床,首次采用构造叠加晕方法开展深部成矿预测意义重大。本文通过收集整理前人地质资料,结合野外地质调查工作,对水旺庄金矿床开展钻孔化探数据测试分析。研究表明:矿体中共同元素组合是:Au、As、Sb、Ag、Cu、Pb、Zn、Bi、W;特征元素组合是:As、Ag、Cu,其中Au为主要成矿元素,Cu为主要的伴生元素。以26勘探线为主要研究对象,运用构造叠加晕理论分析可知前缘晕特征指示元素为As、Sb、Hg;近矿晕特征指示元素为Au、Ag、Cu、Pb、Zn;尾晕特征指示元素为Bi、Mo、W。建立了水旺庄金矿床构造叠加晕理想模式,进行了深部矿体预测圈定预测靶区3个。

胶东金矿成矿物质来源:来自与金成矿有关地质单元金含量的约束

胶东是世界第三大金矿集区,金矿找矿和成矿理论研究不断取得新突破,但对矿床成因和成矿物质来源的认识尚存在较大分歧。为了科学合理地解释金矿床相对于各类围岩高达万倍的Au富集,通过系统采集胶东地区未遭受矿化蚀变的晚中生代花岗岩和早前寒武纪变质岩样品,对其进行了Au元素含量测试。结果表明:97件花岗岩Au含量平均值为0.31×10^(-9),其中玲珑型、郭家岭型和伟德山型花岗岩的Au含量平均值分别为0.25×10^(-9)、0.28×10^(-9)和0.35×10^(-9),397件早前寒武纪变质岩的Au含量平均值为1.05×10^(-9),总体与地壳中Au元素丰度和华北板块中Au含量平均值接近或偏低,但早前寒武纪变质岩中Au含量是晚中生代花岗岩中的3.39倍。结合前人研究结果认为,胶东地区不存在Au异常富集的源区或矿源岩(层),巨量金的成矿物质源自古老变质基底在晚中生代的部分熔融,在下地壳基底变质岩部分熔融形成花岗质岩浆的过程中,在超高温环境中约70%以上的金以类似“熔炼”的方式析出,并产生了贫金花岗岩。成矿前与岩浆活动相关的流体有利于Au元素的迁移和富集;成矿期及其后花岗岩的岩石地球化学成分发生了显著变化,影响了流体的化学平衡,为金的沉淀提供了有利条件。

焦家式金矿勘查与研究

焦家式金矿是20世纪60年代山东地质工作者在胶东西北部发现的金矿类型,其产出受区域性构造破碎带控制,成矿期普遍发生黄铁绢英岩化蚀变,成矿特征是规模大、蚀变分带明显、矿化集中、矿体形态简单、品位相对均匀、矿物组合简单。从发现到确立金矿类型经历了12年的勘查研究历程,在此之后得以迅速推广,并在胶东及全国多地取得了丰硕的找矿成果。21世纪以来,胶东地区焦家式金矿深部勘查成果不断涌现。截至2020年,累计提交金资源储量3617.12 t,助推胶东地区成为世界第三大金矿集区,中国黄金储量跃居世界第二。同时,对焦家式金矿的研究工作也取得了长足进展:成矿时代被精确限定在126~120 Ma;金矿形成于区域强烈伸展背景下,成矿物质来源具有多源性,太古代拉斑玄武岩为含金初始矿源岩;将成矿过程精细划分为4个阶段,并提出“热隆-伸展”成矿理论和“阶梯式”成矿模式;成矿深度为5~10 km,成矿后剥蚀厚度为5.2±1.2 km,矿床保存较好;胶西北地区三山岛、焦家和招平三大成矿带5000 m以浅预测金资源总量为7258~10150 t,显示出焦家式金矿深部巨大的找矿潜力。从浅部到深部不同勘查阶段总结出一套关键勘查技术组合。这些研究成果丰富完善了焦家式金矿成矿理论体系,使得成矿预测更加准确可靠,有力指导了胶东地区金矿勘查。

胶东石家金矿床成矿流体特征及矿床成因

石家金矿床是位于栖蓬福成矿带北段的一个石英脉型金矿床,其成矿过程大致可以分为石英-黄铁矿阶段(Ⅰ)、金-石英-黄铁矿阶段(Ⅱ)、金-石英-多金属硫化物阶段(Ⅲ)、石英-碳酸盐阶段(Ⅳ)。成矿流体盐度为1.83%~10.74%,密度为0.61~0.90 g/cm^(3),属于低盐度、低密度流体;成矿温度275℃~325℃,成矿流体压力50~92 MPa,成矿深度1.67~3.07 km。综合特征揭示,该矿床为受花岗岩体穹隆上部的陡倾伸展断裂控制,幔源流体、岩浆流体和大气降水共同参与成矿的中温热液脉型金矿床。

胶东玲珑金矿床成矿地质特征及矿床成因

玲珑金矿床位于华北克拉通东部胶东大型金矿集区西北部,是全球典型石英脉型金矿床之一,金资源总量超过1000 t,但对于其矿床成因一直存在争议。通过系统总结玲珑金矿床地质特征、地质年代学、成矿流体特征及同位素数据,详细探讨了成矿地质特征和矿床成因。玲珑金矿床形成年龄集中在120~125 Ma,成矿流体整体属于中低温、低盐度、低密度热液流体,主要源自岩浆流体,并混有少量大气降水。C-H-O-S-Pb同位素指示,玲珑金矿床成矿流体主要来自地幔来源岩浆流体,并伴有壳源流体加入。早白垩世,华北克拉通东部岩石圈拆沉减薄引发软流圈上涌,进而不断底侵岩石圈地幔,发生部分熔融形成基性岩脉岩浆。基性岩脉岩浆上涌至地壳浅部时,温度、压力急速下降,脱气形成流体,沿着次级断裂沉淀形成金矿床,具有典型胶东型金矿床特征。
