Characteristics of Gold and Its Mineralization Style in the Boulon Djounga Eastern Perimeter of Liptako Mining Company (Central Southwestern Niger)

The Boulon Djounga eastern perimeter is part of the Tiawa operating permit of the Société des Mines du Liptako (SML), located in the central southwestern part of Liptako (Niger). In this study, we used field data, Reverse Circulation (RC) surveys and chemical analyzes of gold to determine the characteristics of gold and its mineralization style. The eastern perimeter of Boulon Djounga is represented by a succession of metabasalts and metasediments both intersected by intrusions of quartz and dolerite dykes, and covered by sandstone and clayey rocks. Gold is present in low contents (0.00 - 0.30 ppm) in the sedimentary cover and in medium (0.30 - 1.00 ppm) or high contents (1.00 - 4.534 ppm) in the metasediments, and in the gray quartz veins and locally in the volcanics. It exists in a disseminated state or in a concentrated state in the surrounding areas in the form of discrete grains associated with sulphurous minerals (pyrite: FeS2, chalcopyrite: CuFeS2 or arsenopyrite: FeAsS). The presence of gold in the quartz veins, and the NE-SW and NW-SE orientations of the ore bodies suggest that the eastern Boulon Djounga gold mineralization would be established during a late magmatic extensive phase.

Characterization of Galena and Vein Paragenesis in the Penjom Gold Mine,Malaysia:Trace Elements,Lead Isotope Study and Relationship to Gold Mineralization Episodes

The Penjom Gold Mine is located 30 km from the Bentong-Raub Suture at the western boundary of the Central Belt in Peninsular Malaysia. Gold mineralization hosted within the vein system is associated with pyrite, arsenopyrite, and minor base metals including galena. Trace element and lead isotope analysis was undertaken on nine samples that represent two stages of galena formed during two tectonic events. Both the Pb isotopes and the trace elements show that the first stage galena within the mineralized areas at the footwall has different geochemical characteristics compared with galena in non mineralized areas in the hanging wall, suggesting that galena crystallized from two different ore fluids and probably at two different times. Higher Te, Se and Bi in the galena from the mineralized area may indicate hydrothermal fluids that migrate through the structural conduit and leached out the metal along the pathway that consist of dominant carbonaceous unit. The Pb isotopic ratio composition are transitional between the bulk crustal growth and an upper crustal growth curve, indicating that derivation was from arc rocks associated with continental crust or a crustal source that includes arc volcanic and old continental sedimentary rocks.

A Fluid Inclusion Study of Vein-type Copper Mineralization in the East Wulasigou Pb-Zn-Cu Deposit,Altay,Northwestern China

The Wulasigou Cu-Pb-Zn deposit,located 15 km northwest of Altay city in Xinjiang,is one of many Cu-Pb-Zn polymetallic deposits in the Devonian Kelan volcanic-sedimentary basin in southern Altaids.Two mineralizing periods can be distinguished：the marine volcanic sedimentary PbZn mineralization period,and the metamorphic hydrothermal Cu mineralization period,which is further divided into an early bedded foliated quartz vein stage（Q1） and a late sulfide-quartz vein stage（Q2） crosscutting the foliation.Four types of fluid inclusions were recognized in the Q1 and Q2 quartz from the east orebodies of the Wulasigou deposit：H2O-CO2 inclusions,carbonic fluid inclusions,aqueous fluid inclusions,and daughter mineral-bearing fluid inclusions.Microthermometric studies show that solid CO2 melting temperatures（T（m,CO2）） of H2O-CO2 inclusions in Ql are from-62.3℃ to-58.5C,clathrate melting temperatures（T（m,clath）l） are from 0.5 C to 7.5 C,partial homogenization temperatures（T（h,CO2）） vary from 3.3℃ to 25.9℃（to liquid）,and the total homogenization temperatures（T（h,tot）） vary from 285℃ to 378℃,with the salinities being 4.9%-15.1%NaCl eqv.and the CO2-phase densities being 0.50-0.86 g/cm-3.H2O-CO2 inclusions in Q2 have T（m,CO2） from-61.9℃ to-56.9℃,T（m,clath）from 1.3℃ to 9.5℃,T（h,CO2） from 3.4℃ to 28.7℃（to liquid）,and T（h,tot） from 242℃ to 388℃,with the salinities being 1.0%-15.5%NaCl eqv.and the CO2-phase densities being 0.48-0.89 g/cm-3.The minimum trapping pressures of fluid inclusions in Q1 and Q2 are estimated to be 260-360 MPa and180-370 MPa,respectively.The δ-（34）S values of pyrite from the volcanic sedimentary period vary from2.3‰ to 2.8‰（CDT）,and those from the sulfide-quartz veins fall in a narrow range of-1.9‰ to 2.6‰（CDT）.The δD values of fluid inclusions in Q2 range from-121.0‰ to-100.8‰（SMOW）,and theδ-（18）O（H2O） values calculated from δ-（18）O of quartz range from-0.2‰ to 8.3‰（SMOW）.The δD-δ-（18）O（H2O）data are close to the magmatic and metamorphic fields.The fluid inclusion and stable isotope data documented in this study indicate that the vein-type copper mineralization in the Wulasigou Pb-Zn-Cu deposit took place in an orogenic-metamorphic enviroment.

Geology of the Structurally Controlled Quartz Vein Gold Mineralization in the Dikko Area, Part of Zungeru—Minna—Birnin Gwari Schist Belt, NW Nigeria

Dikko area, Niger State, North Central Nigeria falls within the Pan-African thermo-tectonic event which occurred in Nigeria as in other parts of West Africa with widespread effect on the mineralization of rejuvenated basement and geosynclinal trough deposits. The Pan-African Belt in Nigeria forms part of the Benin-Nigeria (Dahomeyan) shield which is regarded as the southern prolongation of the circumcratonic Pan-African belt of the West African Craton. Structurally controlled, gold-bearing quartz veins were measured and studied in the area from an extensive geological ground investigation. Field and petrographical studies indicate that the Neoproterozoic rocks constitute gneisses, amphibolite schist, amphibolites and migmatites. The amphibolites are intruded by pegmatites. The associated quartz veins are generally concordant with the main N-S regional structural trend. The lithological and structural studies carried out in these areas have demonstrated the relationship between structures and mineralization and/or lithology. The main characteristics of the gold mineralization in the area appear to indicate hydrothermal mineralization in connection with shear zones. This study allows us to predict that quartz veins in the amphibolite can be mined at a profit and a detailed geochemical and resource valuation needs to be carried out for the Au and associated Galena and Ag mineralization to fully exploit their economic potential.

Geology and Mineral Chemistry of Gold Mineralization in Mirge-Naqshineh Occurrence(Saqez,NW Iran):Implications for Transportation and Precipitation of Gold

The Mirge-Naqshineh gold district is situated at northwest of Iran with a NW-trending brittle- ductile shear zone. It is hosted by Precambrian meta-sedimentary and meta-volcanic units traversed by mineralized quartz veins. In terms of cross-cutting relationships and sulfide content three types of quartz veins are identified in the region. Among those, parallel to bedding quartz vein （type I） is the main host for gold mineralization. Gold is found in three different forms： 1） submicrometer-size inclusions of gold in arsenian pyrite, 2） as electrum and 3） in the crystal lattice of sulfides （pyrite, galena and chalcopyrite）. Six types of pyrite （Pyl-Py6） were identified in this ore reserve. Py3 coexists with arsenopyrite and contains the greatest As-Au concentrations. There is a negative correlation between the As and S contents in Py2 and Py3, implying the substitution of sulfur by arsenic. Pyrites and mineralized quartz veins were formed via metamorphic-hydrothermal fluid and reflect the gold-transportation as Au（HS）2 under reducing and acidic conditions. The gold precipitation mainly controlled by crystallization of arsenian pyrite during fluid/rock interactions and variation offO2. The volcanic host rock has played an important role in gold concentration, as Py3 in this rock contains inclusion of gold particles, but gold is within the lattice of pyrite in phyllite or other units.

Petrography and Mineralogy of the Quartz and Quartz-Feldspar Sulphide Veins in the Pan-African Syenitic Massif of Guider (North Cameroon)

In the syenitic pluton of Guider (593 ± 4 Ma) in the North-West Cameroon domain of Central African Fold Belt, mineralized N-S to NE-SW vertical or sub-vertical quartz and quartz feldspar veins has been recently identified. In this contribution, we present petrography and mineralogy of these veins, in order to constrain their genesis and emplacement mechanisms based on detailed field work, petrographic studies and chemical characterization of minerals by using an electron probe microanalyser (EPMA). Field observations and vein microstructures show that the emplacement of the veins has been controlled by the dextral N-S trending strike-slip shear zones related to the regional D2 deformation phase. The results of mineralogical analysis reveal the co-presence of silicates and metallic minerals that include magnetite, ilmenite, pyrite, bismuthite, galena (very rare) and sulphide complexes (BiPbS, BiAgPbS, FeBiPbCuS, BiFe(TeS), FeBiPbS, BiPbCuS). The gangue is represented by quartz (quartz 1, quartz 2 and quartz 3), feldspars, sericite, chlorite, yellowish brown clay minerals, and hematite. The textural relationships between sulphides, quartz and alteration products show that the mineralization is essentially syn- to late-D2 and suggest that syenitic country rock and dextral shear zones have played an important role in the metallogenesis of these veins. This mineralization shows characteristics for copper-bearing calc-alkaline deposits, but differs from these by its more extensive alteration and its abundance in hematite. Substitutions of Al(IV) by Si(IV) in sericite associated with the sulphide mineralization and cataclastic deformation suggest that the temperature of trapping of the fluids is between 230°C and 275°C.

热液成矿系统构造控矿理论

构造对成矿的控制是热液成矿系统的典型特征之一,系统剖析多重尺度控矿构造的几何学、运动学、动力学、流变学和热力学对认识矿床成因和预测找矿至关重要;而如何实现控矿构造格架、渗透性结构、成矿流体通道和矿化变形网络由静态到多尺度时-空四维动态的转变,查明流体通道和矿床增量生长过程与控制因素,揭示热液成矿系统的构造-流体耦合成矿机制和定位规律是亟待解决的关键科学难题。为此,我们在对已有相关成果系统梳理的基础上,提出了科学构建热液成矿系统构造控矿理论的基本要点与对应方法及应用范畴:(1)流体而非构造是构造控矿理论的中心,热液系统的流体流动与成矿作用受控于断裂带格架及其渗透性结构,其中渗透率是将流体流动与流体压力变化联系起来理解控矿构造的核心;(2)不同控矿构造组合的关键控制是构造差应力和流体压力的大小,而矿化类型的变化可能是由于构造应力场引起的容矿构造方位的不同和赋矿围岩之间的强度差异所致;(3)流体通道的生长始于超压流体储库上游围岩中孤立的微裂隙沿流体压力梯度最大的方向、随裂隙发育且相互连结而形成新的长裂隙,并最终连通形成断裂网络内的流体通道,矿床的增量生长发生在高流体通量的短爆发期,断层反复滑动驱动其内流体压力、流速和应力快速变化,当由此诱发的流体通道生长破坏了流体系统的动态平衡时,随之而来的流体快速降压就成为金属沉淀成矿的关键驱动因素;(4)以热液裂隙-脉系统野外地质观测和构造-蚀变-矿化网络三维填图为基础,通过宏观与微观各级控矿构造相结合、地质历史与构造应力分析相结合、局部与区域点-线-面相结合、浅部与深部相结合、时间与空间相结合、定性和定量相结合,对各种控矿因素开展多学科、多尺度、多层次、全方位综合研究,是应遵循的基本原则;(5)通过构造-蚀变-矿化网络填图,将蚀变-矿化体与控矿构造的类型、形态、规模、产状和间距等几何学特征联系起来,利用热液裂隙-脉系统和断裂网络拓扑学及矿体三维几何结构分析等定量方法查明控矿构造格架和渗透性结构并揭示矿化变形网络的连通性与成矿潜力;(6)合理构建地质模型,选取合适的热力学参数和动力学边界条件,利用HCh和COMSOL等方法,定量模拟成矿过程中的流体流动、热-质传递、应力变形和化学反应等的时-空变化,是揭示构造-流体耦合成矿机理和定位规律、预测矿化中心和确定找矿目标的有效途径。进而提出了构造控矿理论的研究流程:聚焦构造-流体耦合成矿机制和定位规律这一关键科学问题,选择热液裂隙-脉系统和构造-蚀变-矿化网络为重点研究对象;通过几何学描述、运动学判断、流变学分析、动力学解析和热力学综合,厘定控矿构造格架,定位矿化中心,示踪成矿流体通道和多种矿化样式的增量生长过程及其关键控制,揭示渗透性结构的时-空演变规律及构造再活化与成矿定位的成因关联,建立构造-流体耦合成矿模式,服务新一轮战略找矿突破。以胶东焦家金矿田为例,开展控矿构造理论研究和成矿预测应用实践,证实了其科学性和有效性。

试析金矿床的成矿规律及其找矿预测

黄金作为我国的关键资源之一,对于国家的发展扮演着至关重要的角色。当前,我国在化工和通信等多个领域都在积极利用黄金资源,而黄金的价格波动对我国经济的走向也有着显著的指示作用。因此,金矿的开采对于推动我国经济的增长和现代化建设具有不可或缺的作用。然而,黄金生成条件多样,地质结构复杂。为了有效地进行金矿开采,工作人员必须具备坚实的理论基础和实践经验,理解金矿的形成规律和特点。又由于黄金的形成周期漫长,决定了金矿资源的有限性。为了延长金矿的服务年限并提高其利用效率,必须加强金矿的勘探工作。只有通过增强勘探力度,才能充分开采出符合我国经济建设和发展需求的黄金资源,从而更好地促进国家经济的持续发展。

凤太矿集区八卦庙金矿区脉状铅锌矿化的物质来源研究:硫化物原位S-Pb同位素证据

秦岭造山带凤太矿集区内发育层状—似层状和脉状两种类型的铅锌矿化,部分脉状铅锌矿化伴生产于金矿床中,其成矿物质来源仍未得到较好的约束。论文以八卦庙金矿区的脉状铅锌矿体为主要研究对象,采用硫化物原位微区S-Pb同位素研究方法,探讨了脉状铅锌矿化的成矿物质来源。八卦庙金矿区的脉状铅锌矿化主要受NE和NW向断裂或裂隙控制,矿脉宽度通常为2~20 cm。矿石呈团块状或浸染状构造,其中矿石矿物以方铅矿和闪锌矿为主,另有少量黄铜矿和黄铁矿,脉石矿物有石英、白云母、绢云母和少量方解石、白云石等碳酸盐矿物。硫化物原位S-Pb同位素分析结果显示,矿石中闪锌矿的δ^(34)S值相对集中(15.03‰~17.11‰),而黄铜矿(14.76‰~19.91‰)和方铅矿(12.12‰~21.88‰)的δ^(34)S值则变化较大;方铅矿的铅同位素组成非常均一。通过与区内可能物质源区S-Pb同位素对比研究,认为八卦庙金矿区脉状铅锌矿化的成矿物质来自于围岩变质过程中释放的变质流体,并有印支期岩浆热液的贡献,总体具有与金矿化相似的成矿物质来源。金矿化和脉状铅锌矿化在八卦庙矿区共生富集但又独立产出,可能受铅锌和金元素在热液体系中明显不同的地球化学行为所控制。

Formation,evolution,reconstruction of black shales and their influence on shale oil and gas resource

Black shales are important products of material cycling and energy exchange among the lithosphere,atmosphere,hydrosphere,and biosphere.They are widely distributed throughout geological history and provide essential energy and mineral resources for the development of human society.They also record the evolution process of the earth and improve the understanding of the earth.This review focuses on the diagenesis and formation mechanisms of black shales sedimentation,composition,evolution,and reconstruction,which have had a significant impact on the formation and enrichment of shale oil and gas.In terms of sedimentary environment,black shales can be classified into three types:Marine,terrestrial,and marine-terrestrial transitional facies.The formation processes include mechanisms such as eolian input,hypopycnal flow,gravity-driven and offshore bottom currents.From a geological perspective,the formation of black shales is often closely related to global or regional major geological events.The enrichment of organic matter is generally the result of the interaction and coupling of several factors such as primary productivity,water redox condition,and sedimentation rate.In terms of evolution,black shales have undergone diagenetic evolution of inorganic minerals,thermal evolution of organic matter and hydrocarbon generation,interactions between organic matter and inorganic minerals,and pore evolution.In terms of reconstruction,the effects of fold deformation,uplift and erosion,and fracturing have changed the stress state of black shale reservoirs,thereby having a significant impact on the pore structure.Fluid activity promotes the formation of veins,and have changed the material composition,stress structure,and reservoir properties of black shales.Regarding resource effects,the deposition of black shales is fundamental for shale oil and gas resources,the evolution of black shales promotes the shale oil and gas formation and storage,and the reconstruction of black shales would have caused the heterogeneous distribution of oil and gas in shales.Exploring the formation mechanisms and interactions of black shales at different scales is a key to in-depth research on shale formation and evolution,as well as the key to revealing the mechanism controlling shale oil and gas accumulation.The present records can reveal how these processes worked in geological history,and improve our understanding of the coupling mechanisms among regional geological events,black shales evolution,and shale oil and gas formation and enrichment.

粤北地区瑶岭钨矿、梅子窝钨矿、石人嶂钨矿矿脉特征、空间变化及找矿远景分析

三个矿山均位于粤北山字型构造的东侧,三个矿山最近距离为8.3km,最远距离为29.5km,由于相隔较近,因此必然存在一些共通点。故本文先对三个矿山的矿脉特征进行总结,并进一步分析三个石英脉型钨矿山的共通点或相似点,希望得出的结果能让读者在以后对周边地区的石英脉型钨开展地质勘查工作中借鉴。

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。

高纯石英前体砂球磨工艺研究

磨矿是岩石矿物在被开发利用前的一种预处理方式,由于目标产品、性能要求及矿物自身性质不同,所采取的磨矿方法不尽相同,效果也不同。本试验以优质脉石英为原料,通过对罐体和磨球材质、介质级配、介质及矿物填充率、研磨时间及干湿法对比等工艺条件及参数进行研究。结果表明,罐体材质对产品纯度的影响相较磨球材质的影响更大。柔性材质聚氨酯橡胶(PR)罐体更有利于减少过粉碎现象。将钇稳定氧化锆陶瓷球+聚氨酯橡胶罐用于高纯石英砂前期磨矿作业,能有效避免外来杂质元素尤其是Al、Fe等金属元素的污染。矿物填充量及研磨时间对磨矿产率影响较大,当矿物填充率质量分数为15%~25%,研磨时间为30 min,有效粒度60~200目(0.074~0.25 mm)区间产率最高,可达60%。采用湿法研磨工艺能最大限度避免介质磨损,此时研磨介质每吨矿每小时磨损率仅为0.038%,而干法磨损率为0.86%,湿法磨矿更加经济,产品高纯度更有保障。

缓倾斜极薄矿脉定向抛掷爆破技术试验研究

Fluids double-fracturing genetic mechanism and mineralization of gold-copper of the breccia pipe at Qibaoshan in Shandong Province

After studying the characteristics and special texture of the fluidogenous tectonics, mineral assemblage in the cemented vein between breccia and their special distribution, and stress analyzing the joint structures in and around the breccia pipe, it is found that the observed phenomena are caused by a new tectonic dynamic mechanics of fluid——double-fracturing caused bytemperature and pressure of fluids and pulsating expansion. Under the actions of thermal stress and the pressure of fluids, thermal cracks and joints that developed along parts of the thermal cracks formed systematically in the rocks. Under these conditions, up-arching fracture zones that pulsatively expanded upward and cylindrical pressing breccia body were formed. Rocks at the peak of the pyramidal fractures zone break down instantly. Where the difference between pressure of fluids and the overburden pressure exceeded greatly the competence of the rocks, fluid junctions occurred and the velocity of the fluid flow increased as a result. Explosive body expanded upward in the shape of an inverse cone, cone-like explosive breccia body and cover-like shattering breccia body located on the upper part of the breccia pipe were ultimately formed. Gold-rich fluids were enriched and mineralized near the boiling surface in the lower part of the inverse cone-like explosive breccia body where temperature and pressure decreased rapidly, while copper-rich fluids were enriched and mineralized in the junction area where temperature and pressure were relatively high.

Transmission electron microscopic study of the fine-grained vein matrix in the Suizhou L6 meteorite

The mineralogy of shock vein matrix in the Suizhou meteorite has been investigated by optical and transmission electron microscopy. It was revealed that the vein matrix is composed of majorite-pyrope garnet, mag- aesiowtistite, and ringwoodite, with FeNi-FeS inter- growths. The observation and character of ring-like selected electron diffraction （SAED） patterns indicate that Lhe idiomorphic garnet crystals in the vein matrix have different orientations. The polycrystalline nature of magnesiowtistite is also confirmed by a ring-like SAED pattern. Both garnet and magnesiowtistite crystals showed sharp Jiffraction spots, signifying the good crystallinity of these ：wo minerals. The SAED pattern of cryptocrystalline 5ngwoodite shows only diffuse concentric diffraction tings. FeNi metal and troilite （FeS）, which were molten during the shock event, occur in the matrix as fine eutectic FeNi-FeS intergrowths filling the interstices between garaet and magnesiowiistite grains. Based on the phase dia- gram of the Allende chondrite and the results of this TEM study, it is inferred that majorite-pyrope garnet first crystallized from the Suizhou chondritic melt at 22-26 GPa, Followed by crystallization of magnesiowtistite at 20-24 GPa, and then ringwoodite at 18-20 GPa. The eutectic intergrowths of FeNi-metal and troilite are proposed to have crystallized during meteorite cooling and solidified at the last stage of vein formation.

Locating Mechanism of Quartz Vein Gold Deposits in Rushan, Shandong Province

According to the differences in ore-controlling structural systems and the characteristics of host rocks, textures and structures of ores and mineral associations of ores, quartz vein-type gold deposits in the Rushan area can be divided into the Rushan and Tongling styles. Rushan style gold deposits, occurring in the Kunyushan complex, include Rushan, Tangjiagou and Tongxishan gold mines. They are distributed along four NNE-trending and sinistral, compresso-shear faults with a right stepping array. A prominent characteristic of the gold mineralization is that the orebodies in neighbouring gold deposits distributed in a single ore-controlling fault zone take opposite pitches. Study of the locating structures of the quartz vein gold deposits shows that the Rushan-style gold deposits are characterized by NNE and NE zoning. Therefore, the intersections of the NE direction of the known gold deposit and the neighbouring NNE-trending fault zones are favourable for looking for gold deposits, and the ends of the curving segments of sinistral and right-stepping faults are favourable for looking for large gold deposits. Tongling-style gold deposits occur in the Sanfosan porphyritic monzonitic granite. Emplacement of gold deposits is controlled by arcuate and radiate structures formed during the intrusion of the Sanfoshan porphyritic monzonitic granite; the radiate faults controlled the distribution of orebodies and the arcuate faults controlled the pitch of the orebodies.

西昆仑大红柳滩-白龙山矿集区锂矿成矿特征与成矿规律初探

大红柳滩-白龙山一带是西昆仑-喀喇昆仑花岗伟晶岩分布最为集中、稀有金属矿化最好的地区。通过多年的研究,本文对大红柳滩-白龙山矿集区21个锂多金属矿床进行了全面系统的梳理,将矿集区划分为大红柳滩矿田和白龙山矿田。矿集区内赋矿地层巴颜喀拉山群的形成时代为214~223Ma,花岗岩岩体年龄208~214Ma,不含矿伟晶岩年龄为210~213Ma,含矿伟晶岩年龄为206~213Ma,反映出稀有金属矿产与中生代岩浆岩具有耦合关系。成矿母岩(二云母花岗岩、黑云母花岗岩等)演化后期分异的含锂稀有金属伟晶岩脉沿着片理化带或构造薄弱地段就位成矿,成矿空间为距离中酸性岩体500~2000m的巴颜喀拉山群(或康西瓦岩群)地层中,符合构造-岩浆-层位“三位一体”控矿规律。同时,项目组将大红柳滩-白龙山矿集区从北至南划分为5个稀有金属矿化伟晶岩脉群带,分别为:阿克萨依稀有金属矿化伟晶岩脉群带、大红柳滩北稀有金属矿化伟晶岩脉群带、大红柳滩南稀有金属矿化伟晶岩脉群带、白龙山-雪凤岭锂矿化伟晶岩脉群带、俘虏沟-双牙锂矿化伟晶岩脉群带。其中,白龙山-雪凤岭锂矿化伟晶岩脉群带长约18km,俘虏沟-双牙锂矿化伟晶岩脉群带长约25km,这2个带呈南北对称分带。而俘虏沟-双牙锂矿化伟晶岩脉群带显示了巨大的找矿潜力,是下一步找矿的重要地段。
