Robust Timing Constraints for Granitic Magmatism and Hydrothermal Mineralization in the Tieshanlong W-Sn Ore Field,Eastern Nanling Range,South China

The Tieshanlong ore field is an important part of the Nanling Range,which is famous worldwide for its W-Sn mineralization.Notably,the mineralization age of the Tieshanlong ore field is not well constrained,and our field investigation reveals that granitic emplacement occurred at different stages.However,previous studies have not distinguished these multiple stages of magmatism.The Tieshanlong granite complex is closely related to the Huangsha quartz vein-type W-Sn deposit and Tongling skarn-type Cu-W-Sn deposit in this field.Through field investigations and isotopic age analyses,this work studies the relationship between multistage magmatic activity and mineralization in the Tieshanlong ore field.LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb isotope analyses revealed that the first-and second-staged granites formed at 154.2±0.6 Ma(MSDW=1.4)and 151.2±0.4 Ma(MSDW=1.5),with zirconε_(Hf)(t)values ranging from-13.1 to-10.5 and from-14.7 to-11.1,respectively.These data suggest that the Tieshanlong granite complex was derived from the partial melting of ancient crustal material.LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating of wolframite and cassiterite reveals that W-Sn mineralization occurred at 160-150 Ma,which agrees well with the U-Pb dating results of the second-staged granite within analytical errors.The magmatic activity in this ore field can be divided into three stages:175-154 Ma,154-150 Ma and 150-145 Ma.The quartz vein-and skarn-type W-Sn mineralization is closely related to second-staged fine-grained twomica granite,and formed earlier than skarn-type Cu-mineralization.This study establishes a metallogenic model for the Tieshanlong ore field,and this model has important practical significance for identifying concealed W-Sn(-Cu)deposits around other granitic complexes in the Nanling Range.

Isotopic Chronological Study of the Huangsha-Tieshanlong Quartz Vein-Type Tungsten Deposit and Timescale of Molybdenum Mineralization in Southern Jiangxi Province,China

The Huangsha-Tieshanlong quartz-vein tungsten polymetallic ore deposit, located in the northern Pangushan-Tieshanlong tungsten ore field in eastern Ganxian-Yudu prospecting areas of the Yushan metallogenic belt, is a well-known tungsten deposit in southern Jiangxi province, China. SHRIMP-determined dating of zircons from the Tieshanlong granite yields ages of 168.1±2.1 Ma （n=11, MSWD-1.3）. Rhenium and osmium isotopic dating of molybdenite from the Huangsha quartz-vein tungsten deposit determined by ICP-MS yields a weighted average ages of 153-3 Ma and model ages of 150.22.1 Ma - 155.4-2.3 Ma. The age of the Huangsha tungsten deposit is 10 to 15 Ma later than the Tieshanlong granite, which shows that there might have been another early Late Jurassic magmatic activity between 150 and 160 Ma, a process which is closely related with tungsten mineralization in this area. The Tieshanlong granite, the Hnangsha tungsten deposit and the Pangushan-Tieshanlong ore field were all formed around 150-170 Ma, belonging to products of a Mesozoic second large-scale mineralization. According to the collected molybdenite Re-Os dating results in southern Jiangxi province, the timescale of the associated molybdenum mineralization is 2-6 Ma in the tungsten deposit and the timescale of independent molybdenum mineralization is 1-4 Ma, implying the complexity of tungsten mineralization. Times of molybdenum mineralization are mainly concentrated in the Yanshanian, which includes three stages of 133-135 Ma, 150-162 Ma, and 166-170 Ma, respectively. The 150-162 Ma-stage is in accordance with ages of large-scale WoSn mineralization, which is mainly molybdenum mineralization characterized by associated molybdenum mineralization with development of an even greater-intensity independent molybdenum mineralization. Independent molybdenum mineralization occurred before and after large-scale W-Sn mineralization, which indicates that favorable prospecting period for molybdenum may be in Cretaceous and early late Jurassic.

赣南铁山垅钨矿田花岗斑岩地球化学特征、锆石U-Pb年龄及Hf同位素特征

赣南铁山垅钨矿田位于南岭钨锡多金属成矿带东段,已探获黑钨矿资源量超10万吨。铁山垅复式岩体包括主体似斑状黑云母花岗岩和补体细粒二云母花岗岩两部分,花岗斑岩呈脉状分布。矿田内花岗岩具有相似的地球化学特征,都属过铝质高钾钙碱性花岗岩类,表现出高硅、富铝、富碱、高钾、富成矿元素(W、Sn、Cu、Mo)和亏损Ba、Sr、Ti、P、REE、Eu,稀土配分曲线呈典型的“海鸥式”分布和M型四分组效应等特征。利用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年方法获得花岗斑岩^(206)Pb/^(238)U年龄为146.7±0.5 Ma(MSDW=0.5),成岩时代属晚侏罗世。锆石的n(^(176)Lu)/n(^(177)Hf)=0.000973~0.001989,f_(Lu/Hf)=-0.97~-0.94,ε_(Hf)(t)=-17.9~-10.3,二阶段模式年龄(TDM2)为1.86~2.33 Ga,显示原岩为古元古代地壳。综合分析认为,铁山垅矿田岩浆活动可划分为170~155 Ma、155~150 Ma、150~145 Ma三个阶段,钨锡矿成矿主要集中在第二阶段,且第三阶段花岗斑岩与铜多金属矿成矿关系密切,推测铜岭矿区深部具有较大的找矿前景。

铁山垅钨矿成矿花岗岩锆石拉曼光谱研究

为了探究南岭地区晚中生代与钨锡成矿有关的花岗岩锆石辐射损伤情况及其对U-Pb年龄的影响,本研究采用激光拉曼光谱分析的方法,对赣南铁山垅钨矿成矿花岗岩进行了锆石形态及拉曼光谱特征分析。发现其锆石主要为颜色较浅的低铀锆石和颜色较深的高铀锆石。前者激光拉曼谱线显示出跟标准锆石类似的峰值特征,后者一般较为平坦。锆石形态及激光拉曼研究结果表明,锆石受到了流体作用影响,花岗岩形成于岩浆热液过渡时期。赣南乃至华南晚中生代成岩成矿作用存续时间较长,岩浆热液过程影响深远。
