Geochemical Characteristics and Zonation of Primary Halos of Pulang Porphyry Copper Deposit,Northwestern Yunnan Province,Southwestern China

The Pulang （普朗） porphyry copper deposit, located in the southern segment of the Yidun-Zhongdian （义敦-中甸） island arc ore-forming belt of the Tethys-Himalaya ore-forming domain, is a recently discovered large copper deposit. Compared with the composition of granodiorite in China, the porphyry rocks in this area are enriched in W, Mo, Cu, Au, As, Sb, F, V, and Na2O （K1≥1.2）. Compared with the composition of fresh porphyry rocks in this district, the mineralized rocks are enriched in Cu, Au, Ag, Mo, Pb, Zn, W, As, Sb, and K2O （K2≥1.2）. Some elements show clear anomalies, such as Zn, Ag, Cu, Au, W, and Mo, and can be regarded as pathfinders for prospecting new ore bodies in depth. It has been inferred from factor analysis that the Pulang porphyry copper deposit may have undergone the multiple stages of alteration and mineralization： （a） Cu-Au mineralization; （b） W-Mo mineralization; and （c） silicification and potassic metasomatism in the whole ore-forming process. A detailed zonation sequence of indicator elements is obtained using the variability index of indicator elements as follows： Zn→Ag→Cu→Au→W→Mo. According to this zonation, an index such as （Ag＊Zn）D/（Mo×W）D can be constructed and regarded as a significant criterion for predicting the Cu potential at a particular depth.

Geology and mineralization of the Pulang supergiant porphyry copper deposit(5.11 Mt)in Shangri-la,Yunnan Province,China:A review

The porphyry copper belt in the Geza island arc in southwestern China is the only Indosinian porphyry copper metallogenic belt that has been discovered and evaluated so far.The Pulang porphyry copper deposit(also referred to as the Pulang deposit)in this area has proven copper reserves of 5.11×106 t.This deposit has been exploited on a large scale using advanced mining methods,exhibiting substantial economic benefit.Based on many research results of previous researchers and the authors’team,this study proposed the following key insights.(1)The Geza island arc was once regarded as an immature island arc with only andesites and quartz diorite porphyrites occurring.This understanding was overturned in this study.Acidic endmember components such as quartz monzonite porphyries and quartz monzonite porphyries have been identified in the Geza island arc,and the mineralization is mainly related to the magmatism of quartz monzonite porphyries.(2)Complete porphyry orebodies and large vein orebodies have developed in the Pulang deposit.Main orebody KT1 occurs in the transition area between the potassium silicate alteration zone of quartz monzonite porphyries and the sericite-quartz alteration zone.Most of them have developed in the potassium silicate alteration zone.The main orebody occurs as large lenses at the top of the hanging wall of rock bodies,with an engineering-controlled length of 1920 m and thickness of 32.5‒630.29 m(average:187.07 m).It has a copper grade of 0.21%-1.56%(average:0.42%)and proven copper resources of 5.11×10^(6) t,which are associated with 113 t of gold,1459 t of silver,and 170×10^(3) t of molybdenum.(3)Many studies on diagenetic and metallogenic chronology,isotopes,and fluid inclusions have been carried out for the Pulang deposit,including K-Ar/Ar-Ar dating of monominerals(e.g.,potassium feldspars,biotites,and amphiboles),zircon U-Pb dating,and molybdenite Re-Os dating.The results show that the porphyries in the Pulang deposit are composite plutons and can be classified into pre-mineralization quartz diorite porphyrites,quartz monzonite porphyries formed during the mineralization,and post-mineralization granite porphyries,which were formed at 223±3.7 Ma,218±4 Ma,and 207±3.9 Ma,respectively.The metallogenic age of the Pulang deposit is 213‒216 Ma.(4)The petrogeochemical characteristics show that the Pulang deposit has the characteristics of volcanic arc granites.The calculation results of trace element contents in zircons show that quartz monzonite porphyries and granite porphyries have higher oxygen fugacity.The isotopic tracing results show that the diagenetic and metallogenic materials were derived from mixed crust-and mantle-derived magmas.

Features and significance of the Yudai porphyry copper deposit in the Kalatag district,eastern Tianshan,NW China

1 Introduction The eastern Tianshan region covers around 60000 km2in area and is located in the eastern part of Xinjiang.The district contains various types mineral commodities including Cu,Ni,Au,Fe,Pb and Zn(Wang et al.,2006).The Dannanhu belt in eastern part of the area is interpreted as a volcanic arc and forms an important mineralized zone bordered by the Turpan-Hami Basin to the north and Kanggur back-arc basin to the south.

Geological Setting of the Porphyry Copper Deposit Series of China

In accordance with the terms global minerogenic series, regional metallogenic series and ore depositsystem which are put forward here, metallogenic environments at different levels are discussed for theporphyry copper deposit series in China. It is considered that the porphyry copper deposits in China arecontrolled not only by the boundaries of convergent plates but, more importantly, by the boundaries ofintraplate divergent mobile belts and those between continental blocks. Besides, the emplacement ofhypabyssal and supper-hypabyssal calc-alkaline magmas and the temporal-spatial distribution of China'sporphyry copper deposits are governed by the superimposition of fracture systems of the pre-Alpine base-ments. Meso-Cenozoic cover and continental-margin new-born crust. Such a superimposition has also re-sulted in the polycyclicity of the mineralization.

Post-ore Modification and Preservation of the Indosinian Porphyry Copper Deposit in Geza Arc, Yunnan, SW China

Objective The post-ore modification and preservation of porphyry copper deposits is controlled and influenced by various geological processes, and the regional uplift and denudation is the most important factors. This study used biotite mineral geobarometer and Apatite Fission Track （AFT） to restore the uplift evolution of the granitic porphyries in the Geza arc and to obtain quantitative data of rock erosion degree and denudation rate.

GEOLOGICAL FEATURES AND FORMATIVE MECHANISM OF THE YULONG PORPHYRY COPPER BELT OF INTRACONTINENTAL REJUVENATED PLATFORM TYPE IN CHINA

Extending in a NNW-SSE direction. the Yulong porphyry copper belt is the largest and richest porphyry copper belt in China, originating in the Paleogene. Tectonically located on the eastern margin of the northern Tibet geodepression. and nearly 500 km of the Himalayan Yarlung Zangbo plate subduction zone of nearly E-W trend. it is a relatively typical intracontinental rejuvenated platform-type porphyry copper belt. Ore-bearing porphyry masses in the belt mainly represented by monzogranite-porphyry occurring as stocks in variegated sandshale of the lower Upper Triassic Jiapila Fromation and its overlying and underlying copper-bearing strata. They are characterized by enrichment in K. CI and LREE. abundant fluid inclusions and a distinct porphyroblastic texture. The oxygen. hydrogen. strotium. lead and sulfur isotopic values of the rock show the feature of crust-mantle mixing.The Orebodies are plpe-shaped stratoid; the mineralization is dominated by Cu and Mo, accompanied by Fe. Co. Au. Ag. Bi. W. Pb. Zn. and Pt-group elements. Alteration is strong. marked mainly by potassic alteration, silicification. skarnization and propylitization. The formation of this type of deposit largely progressed through two stages. The first stage was the stage of formation of Cu-bearing source beds. It occurred in the Triassic. when a transgressive copper-bearing formation was deposited on the western margin of the Qamdo Bay. which was represented by intermediate-acid volcanic rocks and variegated sandshale in the lower part. dolomitic carbonate rocks in the middle and black carbonaceous sandshale in the upper part. In the second stage. composite porphyry copper deposits were formed. This stage took place in the Paleogene. when this district was in a stage of platform rejuvenation. forming a series of NNW-trending deep faults. so that Na, K. Cl. H2O and CO2-rich hydrothermal fluids from the depths were injected into the upper crust and replaced and melted copper-bearing sialic rocks of the upper crust. e. g. the Triassic copper-bearing rock series in the Yulong area. to form porphyroblastic cooper-bearing intermediate-acid porphyry.

Geological and Geochemical Characteristics and Genesis of the Shaxi Porphyry Copper (Gold) Deposits, Anhui Province

The Shaxi porphyry copper (gold) deposits are a typical example of porphyry copper deposits associated with diorite in eastern China. Quartz diorite, which hosts the deposits, has a Rb-Sr isochron age of 127.9 ± 1.6 Ma. Geochemically, the rock is rich in alkalis (especially sodium), light rare earth elements (LREE) and large-ion lithophile elements (LILE), and has a relatively low initial strontium isotopic ratio (Isr=0.7058); thus it is the product of differentiation of crust-mantle mixing source magma. The model of alteration and mineralization zoning is similar to the Hollister (1974) diorite model. The ore fluids have a relatively high salinity and contain significant amounts of CO2, Ca2+, Na+ and ***CI?. The homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions for the main mineralization stage range from 280 to 420°C, the δ18O values of the ore fluids vary from 3.51 to 5.52 %, the δD values are in the range between ?82.4 and ?59.8 %, the δ34S values of sulphides vary from ?0.3 to 2.49 %, and the δ13C values of CO2 in inclusions range between ?2.66 and ?6.53 %. Isotope data indicate that the hydrothermal ore fluids and ore substances of the Shaxi porphyry copper (gold) deposits were mainly derived from magmatic systems.

SEDIMENTARY, MAGMATIC AND TECTONIC CONSTRAINTS ON THE FORMATION OF THE YULONG SUPPER0-LARGE PORPHYRY COPPER POLYMETAL DEPOSIT, EAST TIBET

The Yulong supper\|large copper deposit is situated within the well\|known S\|N striking Yulong copper\|molybdenum ore belt. The ore\|bearing biotite\|monogranitic porphyry was emplaced within clastic rocks (mainly shales and siltstones) of the Jiapila Formation (T 3 j ) and carbonate rocks of the Bolila Formation (T 3 b ) of the Upper Triassic. Five mineralization patterns have been recognized in the deposit, i.e., ①veinlet\|disseminated Cu\|Mo ore in the porphyry; ②skarn\|type Cu ore at the contact zone with carbonates (T 3 b ); ③stratiform\|like oxidized Cu ore between T 3 b carbonate rocks and T 3 j hornstones; ④brecciated Cu ore at the local periphery of porphyry; and ⑤vein Pb\|Zn\|Ag ore in the outer contact zone. They constitute a unique integrated polymetal mineralization series of epigenetic intermediate\|acid magmatic hydrothermal system.Studies have shown that the Yulong deposit was the coupling product of sedimentation, magmatism, and tectonism. The Cu\|bearing sandstones in the Japila Formation have provided partial ore\|bearing materials for the porphyry mineralization during the Himalayan period. The mineralized porphyry mass was passively emplaced and controlled by a nose\|like anticlinal trap opening to the north. The interlayered fractured zone formed during folding between the Jiapila and Bolila Formations acted as favorable host space for stratiform\|like skarn and oxidized ores. A large number of cleavages and fissures developed during folding provided both conduits for the circulation of ore\|forming fluids and host spaces for Pb\|Zn\|Ag ore veins. The veinlet\|disseminated Cu\|Mo ore in the porphyry mass owns the characteristics of typical porphyry copper deposits in the world. The veinlet\|disseminated ore body and the stratiform\|like skarn\|type and/or oxidized ore body, the two main ore bodies in Yulong, are connected with each other and shown as “mushroom\|like" shape, in which the former occurs as “mushroom stem" and the latter as “mushroom cover".

西藏冈底斯中东段矽卡岩铜-铅-锌多金属矿床特征及成矿远景分析

冈底斯中东段矽卡岩型铜_铅_锌多金属矿床分为甲马—林周、贡嘎—扎囊—泽当和拉萨—谢通门3个次级矿带或矿集区,区域上呈现出一定的矿化分带,以甲马—林周矿集区为主要分布区。岩矿石的硫、氢、氧、铅同位素特征表明成矿流体和矿质主要为岩浆热液来源。Re_Os同位素测年说明甲马—林周矿集区的矽卡岩成矿集中在中新世15～17Ma的较窄时间段内,与该区斑岩型铜钼矿具有相似的岩浆_构造控矿条件和深部地球动力学背景,属同一成矿系列。而冈底斯南带矽卡岩矿床可能形成于印度—亚洲板块的主碰撞期。冈底斯中东段具有良好的矽卡岩型铜多金属矿成矿地质、地球化学条件,显示有良好的找矿前景。

加强埃达克岩研究,开创中国Cu、Au等找矿工作的新局面

埃达克岩与浅成低温热液Au-Ag及斑岩型Cu、Cu-Au矿床有密切的关系,环太平洋地区多数大型和世界级的斑岩铜矿均与埃达克岩有关。埃达克岩有利于成矿的关键因素与埃达克岩形成时角闪石转变为石榴石的脱水作用有关。而水能萃取出在地幔和基性岩中富集的金属元素。因此,埃达克岩集中分布的地区有利于铜、金等矿化的聚集。中国铜矿资源严重不足,解决这个紧迫问题的出路在寻找斑岩铜矿。全球铜矿主要分布在环太平洋地区,中国与环太平洋类似的地区不是中国东部,而是古亚洲洋造山带、东北吉黑东部和西藏冈底斯。从国家目标出发,建议实施铜、金等找矿工作的战略转移,把浅成低温热液和斑岩型Au、Cu、Ag等矿床找矿的重点放在古生代的古亚洲洋造山带、晚古生代-中生代的吉黑东部和中-新生代的冈底斯地区。古亚洲洋造山带首选阿尔泰西南缘.东准噶尔、东天山和内蒙古中部3个地区。埃达克岩可以作为找矿标志来使用,因此,在找矿思路上也应当有一个变化,即:先找埃达克岩,再找矿。

藏东玉龙斑岩铜矿地质特征及成矿模型

西藏玉龙斑岩铜矿是世界级超大型铜矿,从其发现开始迄今,众多学者对其展开了深入研究,积累了大量的资料。随着玉龙铜矿开发进入全面实质性阶段,迫切地需要对玉龙铜矿的研究成果进行系统的归纳总结,分析成矿地质特征以及成矿模式,以便指明玉龙铜矿的找矿方向,达到增加储量满足后续开发的需求。笔者利用Micromine软件建立了主要矿体的三维立体模型,分析了矿体以及矿石类型三维空间分布规律。通过总结常量元素、微量元素、稀土元素以及流体包裹体地球化学特征,分析同位素测年,厘定矿床成矿时代,建立出玉龙斑岩铜矿成矿模式。该模式的建立对于玉龙斑岩铜矿乃至三江地区斑岩铜矿床找矿突破和潜力评价具有重要的指导意义和应用价值。

德兴花岗闪长斑岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年代学和Nd-Sr同位素地球化学

德兴斑岩铜矿区的成矿斑岩的形成时代一直存在争议。本文对铜厂、富家钨花岗闪长斑岩进行了SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年代学研究。研究结果显示:(1)铜厂花岗闪长斑岩样品中锆石15个分析点的206Pb/238U年龄为165～177Ma.206Pb/238U年龄的加权平均值为171±3 Ma;(2)富家钨花岗闪长斑岩样品中锆石15个分析点的206Pb/238U年龄为166-177Ma,206Pb/238U年龄的加权平均值也为171±3 Ma。因此,德兴花岗闪长斑岩形成于中侏罗世(171±3 Ma)。该年龄与德兴斑岩铜矿区辉钼矿的Re-Os同位素年龄(173 Ma)在误差范围内一致,暗示了成岩成矿的一致性。德兴花岗闪长斑岩的形成时代与华南地区许多A型花岗岩,双峰式或板内火成岩和矿床的形成时代也大致一致,同时也与赣-杭裂谷带的活动时间一致,表 明德兴斑岩铜矿和花岗闪长斑岩形成于一个伸展的动力学背景下。另外,德兴花岗闪长斑岩很少有老的继承锆石以及其高的εNd(t)(-1.14-+1.80)和极低的初始87St/86Sr比值(0.7044-0.7047),暗示古老的地壳物质对其贡献并不明显,地幔物质可能在德兴花岗闪长斑岩的成因中发挥了重要作用。再结合其具有的埃达克质岩的元素地球化学特征。本文认为德兴花岗闪长斑岩很可能由拆沉下地壳物质的熔融形成。

云南普朗印支期超大型斑岩铜矿床:岩石学及年代学特征

普朗斑岩铜矿位于云南西北晚三叠世义敦岛弧南段的滇西中甸弧内。义敦岛弧北部产有著名的呷村式黑矿型块状硫化物矿床,南部大量发育斑岩型铜矿床,普朗斑岩铜矿床即是其中的典型代表。普朗矿床由南、北两个复式岩体(矿段)组成,两个矿段均由一系列NW向构造控制的石英闪长玢岩、石英二长斑岩小岩株组成,是普朗铜矿区的主体,探明铜矿石量1．6亿吨,铜平均品位0．57%,铜金属量114万吨,伴生金金属量28．80吨,金品位0．18g/t;钼6399吨,品位0．004%。普朗斑岩铜矿床远景储量400万吨以上,为一个具有超大型规模远景储量的斑岩型铜矿床。普朗斑岩体容矿围岩SiO_2＞56%,MgO 1．34%～2．73%,Sr 661×10^(-6)～909×10^(-6),Y 10．78×10^(-6)～17．92×10^(-6),Yb 1．07×10^(-6)～1．87×10^(-6),LREE富集,δEu 0．83～0．93,Sr/Y比值22～64,K_2O/Na_2O比值0．52,具有与洋壳俯冲产生的埃达克岩(Ⅰ型埃达克岩)相似的地球化学特征。普朗斑岩铜矿形成于印支期,在我国斑岩铜矿床中具有其特殊性(不同于青藏高原喜马拉雅期斑岩铜矿带,如冈底斯斑岩铜矿带、玉龙斑岩带等;也不同于古亚洲成矿域的海西期斑岩铜矿带,如土屋-延东斑岩铜矿带,以及中国东部的燕山期斑岩铜矿带,如德兴斑岩铜矿),无论对中甸岛孤带的基础地质还是矿产资源评价预测的研究,该类矿床都具有重要的意义。普朗斑岩铜矿床含矿黑云石英二长斑岩的钾硅酸盐化(黑云母化和钾长石化)的成矿热液活动时间为235．4±2．4Ma～221．5±2．0Ma之间,石英-辉钼矿阶段的辉钼矿成矿(Re-Os)年龄大致为213±3．8 Ma;对矿区主矿体的热液黑云母单矿物的^(40)Ar/^(39)Ar测年,无论是含铜钼的矿化岩体,还是仅含铜的斑岩体,其成矿年龄(坪年龄)变化于为214．58±0．91Ma至216．0±1Ma之间,与辉钼矿Re-Os年龄非常接近,为晚三叠世诺利期。这表明普朗斑岩铜矿床的成矿作用在印支期完成。
