Intrusion-related gold deposits at the Clear Creek, Scheelite Dome and Dublin Gulch properties of the Tombstone Gold Belt (TGB), Yukon Territory have dominantly E-striking, steeply dipping, auriferous quartz extension veins within intrusions. In adjacent metasedimentary rocks gold is hosted in subvertical NW- to NNW-striking sinistral faults as veins and breccias, in E-striking extension veins and locally in E- to ENE-striking fault veins. These structural relationships indicate low magnitude, broadly E–W-directed shortening and N–S extension during stock emplacement and gold mineralisation at ∼92 Ma.The lack of any deviation or deflection of the extension vein orientations in the country rocks, with respect to their orientation within the stocks, indicates consistent stress trajectories in both rock types. These TGB deposits formed at 5–8 km depth, where mean and differential stresses may be greater in magnitude than in shallower porphyry environments. Many porphyry systems feature magmatic-related stresses that dominated the local stress field, with more variable vein orientations the result. Conversely, orogenic gold systems usually exhibit strong dimensionality in vein orientations. Fault-hosted mineralisation in metasedimentary rocks of the TGB deposits in this study is comparable in geometry, but generally smaller in size than in many orogenic gold systems. Intrusion-related systems of the TGB exhibit intermediate structural styles of mineralisation that provide a useful bridge in understanding the diversity of mechanically controlled structural styles in otherwise mostly unrelated gold deposit types. 相似文献

In the internationally significant Victorian goldfields a complex system of faults dismembers the 5 million ounce Magdala gold deposit. These faults represent a combination of neoformed faults and inherited faults that reflect deformation associated with stress tensors of variable orientation and stress shape ratio (φ). The fault geometry is strongly controlled by the pre-existing rheology. Faults have propagated around the flanks of an antiformal basalt dome, along earlier ductile cleavages and the margins of porphyry dykes. Many of the faults do not have Andersonian geometries and there is no correlation between the orientation of the faults and the palaeostress directions. Much of the faulting is associated with the emplacement of porphyry dykes, additional gold mineralisation related to plutonism and late-stage deformation post-dating the intrusion of the Stawell pluton. Systematic mapping of extension veins associated with faults, striations and conjugate joint sets allowed the construction of a revised and more robust history of brittle deformation. This successfully predicted the offset direction of the currently mined Magdala ore body beneath the studied system of faults. The use of extension veins was a critical aspect of the analysis. If striations on the fault surfaces had solely been used, the offset direction of the new Golden Gift orebody would not have been correctly ascertained. The palaeostress history was delineated via use of compression and tension dihedra, stress inversion of slip data and calculation of theoretical resolved shear stress for faults with orientations similar to those mapped. The calculation of theoretical resolved shear stress directions highlights the importance that the intermediate stress has on the slip direction for faults whose pole does not lie in the plane containing σ1 and σ3. 相似文献

The Southern Alps of New Zealand is an active oblique collisional mountain belt with extensive regional tectonically driven fluid flow. There is no evidence for igneous activity, and fluids consist of varying proportions of meteoric water and mid-crustal fluid derived from dehydration reactions. Fluid flow is controlled by fracture porosity, particularly in damage zones along faults and fault intersections. Gold and arsenic bearing veins exposed at the surface indicate two principal zones of gold mineralisation at depth. One of these is in the highest mountains, near to, but not in the region of maximum uplift. Deformation is dominated by reverse faulting, but some normal and strike-slip faults occur as well. The other zone of gold mineralisation is at and near the intersection of regional oblique dextral reverse faults and regional strike-slip faults. Both zones are characterised by small discontinuous vein systems, locally accompanied by ankeritic alteration of host rock. Veins occur in extensional and shear veins, and in dilational jogs with implosion breccias. Gold mineralisation occurred at many structural levels between the brittle–ductile transition and the near-surface region. The Southern Alps hydrothermal system represents an active roof zone to a mesothermal gold deposition system at depth. As such, this is a modern analogue for mesothermal gold terranes elsewhere in New Zealand and around the world. Observations on the regional distribution of fluid flow in active orogens can give insights into fluid flow at depth where gold mineralisation is occurring now. Comparison of these observations with ancient gold-bearing belts allows construction of three-dimensional concepts of orogenic fluid flow and gold mineralisation. 相似文献

Endeavour 42 is a structurally controlled Au deposit with similarities to adularia‐sericite deposits. It is the largest of four gold prospects discovered in the Late Ordovician Lake Cowal volcanic complex, adjacent to the Gilmore Fault Zone, in central New South Wales, Australia. The Lake Cowal volcanic complex consists of calc‐alkaline to shoshonitic volcanic rocks and related sedimentary rocks that were deposited in a relatively deep‐water environment. The volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Lake Cowal volcanic complex were intruded by diorite and granodiorite. Low‐grade porphyry Cu (0.2–0.35% Cu) mineralisation is developed in parts of the granodiorite intrusion. The gold deposits are developed north of the porphyry Cu mineralisation and occur within a north‐south corridor adjacent to a north‐south‐oriented body of diorite. The Endeavour 42 deposit is hosted by three volcanic units and a diorite. The stratigraphic units at Endeavour 42, consistently strike 215° and dip 50°NW, and comprise an upper unit dominated by redeposited pyroclastic debris and a lower conglomerate unit with clasts of reworked volcanic rocks. Separating these units is a sequence of trachyandesite lava and hyaloclastite breccias. Laminated mudstone and siltstone throughout the sequence are indicative of a relatively deep‐water, below wave‐base, environment. Porphyritic dykes, which are typically associated with zones of faulting, cross‐cut both the volcano‐sedimentary sequence and the diorite. The major fault orientations are 290° and 340°, forming subparallel conjugate fault sets. Both sets of faults are mineralised, contain deformed porphyritic dykes and are associated with sericitic alteration. Endeavour 42 is a sulfide‐poor gold deposit with free native Au and Au associated with pyrite and sphalerite. Minor galena, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite are also observed. Irregular pyrite veinlets and carbonate‐sulfide veinlets occur in the upper unit of re‐deposited pyroclastic debris. Auriferous veins are parallel‐sided dilatant veins with quartz‐sulfide‐carbonate‐adularia. These veins display a consistent strike of 305° and a dip of 35°SW. Alteration and mineralisation were influenced by host‐rock composition and rheology. A pervasive alteration assemblage of chlorite‐carbonate‐hematite‐epidote is developed throughout the Lake Cowal volcanic complex. This is overprinted by sericite‐silica‐carbonate alteration around fault zones and dykes, with patchy and pervasive alteration of this type developed in the lava sequence and upper volcani‐clastic unit, reflecting permeability and probable alteration zoning. In the lower clastic unit, the diorite and, in parts of the lava sequence, a chlorite‐carbonate‐pyrite assemblage partially overprints sericite‐silica alteration, suggesting an evolving fluid composition, changing physico‐chemical conditions or a different alteration fluid. Age dating of the intrusive phases and sericitic alteration associated with mineralisation at Endeavour 42 yields ages of 465.76 ± 1 and 438.6 ± 0.5 Ma, respectively, suggesting that mineralisation post‐dates the Lake Cowal intrusive event and is related to intrusion of magma during the 440 Ma mineralising event, an important period in the eastern Lachlan Fold Belt. 相似文献

Archaean lode gold deposits in the Coolgardie Goldfield, Western Australia, occur in mafic and ultramafic rocks which have
been metamorphosed to the amphibolite facies. Mineralisation was broadly synchronous with peak metamorphism, the main phase
of granitoid emplacement, and regional deformation. Several different structural styles are represented by the deposits of
the Coolgardie Goldfield. Mineralisation occurs along sheared felsic porphyry-ultramafic rock contacts, in gabbro-hosted quartz-vein
sets, in fault-bounded quartzvein sets, and in laminated quartz reefs sited in brittleductile shear zones. The structures
hosting mineralisation formed in response to a progressive deformation event, related to granitoid emplacement in an east-west
compressional far-field stress régime, but with local heterogeneous stress orientations. This occurred after an earlier period
of thrust-stacking, with probable north-south directed tectonic transport. Two contrasting styles of goldrelated wallrock
alteration are associated with the auriferous lodes of the Coolgardie Goldfield. A high-temperature assemblage (formation
temperature >500°C), characterised by the proximal alteration assemblage garnet+ hornblende + plagioclase + pyrrhotite, contrasts
with a medium-temperature assemblage (formation temperature <500°C), consisting of calcic amphibole + biotite + plagioclase
+ calcite + arsenopyrite + pyrrhotite. The distribution of the two styles of gold-related alteration is controlled by distance
from voluminous syntectonic granitoids located to the west of the Coolgardie Goldfield, with the high-temperature style of
alteration more proximal to the granitoid-greenstone contact than the medium-temperature style. The occurrence of gold deposits
that formed under amphibolite facies conditions throughout the Coolgardie Goldfield supports a crustal continuum model for
Archaean lode-gold deposits, which proposes that gold is deposited in metamorphic environments that range from the sub-greenschist
to granulite facies. In addition, the data from Coolgardie suggest that syntectonic, synmineralisation granitic plutons may
play a significant role in controlling the style of gold associated wallrock-alteration at deep crustal levels. 相似文献

Field studies in the Eucalyptus area, northeastern Yilgarn Block have shown intrusive and extrusive rocks in an Archaean greenstone sequence to be comagma‐tic, and have suggested the sequence of subsequent granitoid intrusion and gold mineralisation. Andesitic volcanic rocks and related subvolcanic granodiorite porphyry and epiclastic sediments were followed by tholeiitic basalt with gabbro/dolerite sills and dykes, which were in turn succeeded by high‐Mg basalt with associated peridotite intrusions. Large, irregular gabbro and peridotite intrusions, which are inferred to represent subvolcanic magma chambers, occur in lower stratigraphic levels, whereas comformable subvolcanic sills occur in higher stratigraphic levels. Granodiorite plutons were followed by adamellite plutons; at least some gold mineralisation was contemporaneous with granitoid emplacement. 相似文献

The auriferous lode in the Hira-Buddini deposit is confined to the sheared contact of amphibolite and felsic metavolcanic rock. Gold mineralization in the deposit is associated with sub-horizontal, sub–vertical, irregular and with few conjugate veins. These veins were emplaced during deformation in a ductile-brittle regime as inferred from the megascopic features and microstructures of the vein minerals. Fluid pressure was higher than the sum of the minimum principal stress and lithostatic load as well as the tensile strength of the shear zone. Crack-seal process appears to be the mechanism of vein formation. The microstructures of the vein minerals indicate a temperature of ~500ºC during the vein emplacement. In the auriferous lode, amphibolite and felsic metavolcanic rock have been subjected to intense alteration by the ore fluid with development of biotite-chlorite-tourmaline-calcite and muscovite (sericite)-chlorite-calcite-feldspar-biotite assemblages, respectively. Both the altered rocks contain significant amount of pyrite and chalcopyrite with native grains of gold and silver. Post-dating the fluid activity associated with gold mineralization, there is another stage of fluid activity manifested by the calcite veins and micro-veinlets. 相似文献

The Hillgrove gold–antimony deposit is hosted in late Palaeozoic, biotite-grade metasedimentary rocks and Permo-Carboniferous granitoid intrusions of the New England Orogen. Mineralisation occurred at a range of structural levels during rapid uplift in the orogen at 255–245 Ma. Hydrothermal fluids were controlled by extensional faults in a regional-scale sinistral strike-slip fault system. Principal faults in this system were developed in, and possibly evolved from, mylonite zones which were active during Late Permian tectonics. Earliest mineralisation formed scheelite-bearing quartz veins, and these were followed by auriferous arsenopyrite–pyrite–quartz–carbonate veins with minor base metal sulphides. This latter type was accompanied by sericitisation and carbonation of the host rock, with addition of sulphur, arsenic and gold, in zones up to 20 m from veins. Quartz–stibnite veins with electrum, gold, aurostibite, and arsenopyrite form a prominent and economically important hydrothermal type, with little wall-rock alteration but extensive hydrothermal breccia formation and local open-space filling textures. Below a mining depth of 300–500 m, this type passes over a short distance downwards into stibnite-poor gold-bearing veins. Late-stage carbonate–stibnite veins with gold and silver sulphosalts cut all earlier veins, and have open-space filling textures. Aspects of the Hillgrove deposit have similarities to many other orogenic gold deposits in the SW Pacific which have been formed at different structural levels. Hillgrove is distinctive in having evidence for mineralisation at this wide range of structural levels in the one deposit, formed progressively during syn-orogenic uplift.

The Klondike Schist that forms the basement rocks for the famous Klondike placer goldfield was emplaced as km-scale thrust
slices in Early Jurassic time, along with some thin (10 to 30 m-scale) slices of greenstone and ultramafic rocks. Permian
metamorphic fabrics in the schists were deformed during thrust emplacement by structures formed as the rocks passed through
the brittle–ductile transition. Early-formed thrust-related structures were almost-pervasive recumbent folds that affected
both the schist and greenstone/ultramafic slices and imposed a spaced cleavage with minor recrystallisation of micas. These
structures gave way to shallow-dipping phacoidal cleavage near (within <100 m of) thrust structures. Thrust-related structures
have been overprinted locally by well-defined steeply dipping reverse fault-fold zones, and associated upright folding on
regional (km) to mesoscopic (m) scales. The fold-fault zones occur as two orthogonal sets of structures oriented NW to N and
NE to E. Some of these steeply dipping fault zones have been reactivated by Late Cretaceous normal faulting. Orogenic (mesothermal)
gold-bearing veins were emplaced in local sites of extension during or after formation of the compressional fault-fold zones
and before normal fault reactivation. Over 400 veins (m to cm-scale) observed in this study imply a general NW strike for
mineralised structures (W to N), but with a broad scatter of orientations. Vein emplacement was controlled principally by
fold axial surfaces of kink folds of the fault-fold generation. However, some other local extension sites have opened along
preexisting structures to host veins locally, including metamorphic foliation and spaced cleavage planes. In addition, irregular
extensional fractures with no obvious structural control host some veins. The Klondike mineralised veins formed as swarms
with broad regional structural control, but represent relatively diffuse mineralised zones, with numerous scattered small
veins, compared to most orogenic vein systems. These diffuse vein swarms appear to be sufficient sources for the rich and
geographically localised placer gold deposits that formed in overlying gravels during erosion of the Klondike Schist basement. 相似文献

Petrography, mineralogy and geochemistry of the Zarshuran Carlin-like gold deposit, northwest Iran 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Gold mineralisation at Zarshuran, northwestern Iran, is hosted by Precambrian carbonate and black shale formations which
have been intruded by a weakly mineralised granitoid. Granitoid intrusion fractured the sedimentary rocks, thereby improving
conditions for hydrothermal alteration and mineralisation. Silicification is the principal hydrothermal alteration along with
decalcification and argillisation. Three hydrothermal sulphide mineral assemblages have been identified: an early assemblage
of pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite; then widespread base metal sulphides, lead-sulphosalts and zoned euhedral arsenical
pyrite; and finally late network arsenical pyrite, massive and colloform arsenical pyrite, colloform sphalerite, coloradoite,
and arsenic–antimony–mercury–thallium-bearing sulphides including orpiment, realgar, stibnite, getchellite, cinnabar, lorandite
and a Tl-mineral, probably christite. Most of the gold at Zarshuran is detectable only by quantitative electron microprobe
and bulk chemical analyses. Gold occurs mainly in arsenical pyrite and colloform sphalerite as solid solution or as nanometre-sized
native gold. Metallic gold is found rarely in hydrothermal quartz and orpiment. Pure microcrystalline orpiment, carbon-rich
shale, silicified shale with visible pyrite grains and arsenic minerals contain the highest concentrations of gold. In many
ways Zarshuran appears to be similar to the classic Carlin-type sediment-hosted disseminated gold deposits. However, relatively
high concentrations of tellurium at Zarshuran, evidenced by the occurrence of coloradoite (HgTe), imply a greater magmatic
contribution in the mineralising hydrothermal solutions than is typical of Carlin-type gold deposits.

Gold deposits in the Syama and Tabakoroni goldfields in southern Mali occur along a north-northeast trending mineralised litho-structural corridor that trends for approximately 40 km. The deposits are interpreted to have formed during a craton-wide metallogenic event during the Eburnean orogeny. In the Syama goldfield, gold mineralisation in 9 deposits is hosted in the hanging-wall of the Syama-Bananso Shear Zone in basalt, greywacke, argillite, lamprophyre, and black shale. Gold is currently mined primarily from the oxidised-weathered zone of the ore bodies. In the Syama deposit, mineralisation hosted in altered basalt is associated with an intense ankerite–quartz–pyrite stockwork vein systems, whereas disseminated style mineralisation is also present in greywackes. In contrast, the Tellem deposit is hosted in quartz–porphyry rocks.In the Tabakoroni goldfield, gold mineralisation is hosted in quartz veins in tertiary splay shears of the Syama-Bananso Shear Zone. The Tabakoroni orebody is associated with quartz, carbonate and graphite (stylolite) veins, with pyrite and lesser amounts of arsenopyrite. There are four main styles of gold mineralisation including silica-sulphide lodes in carbonaceous fault zones, stylolitic quartz reefs in fault zones, quartz–Fe–carbonate–sulphide lodes in mafic volcanics, and quartz–sulphide stockwork veins in silicified sediments and porphyry dykes. The several deposit styles in the goldfield thus present a number of potential exploration targets spatially associated with the regional Syama-Bananso Shear Zone and generally classified as orogenic shear-hosted gold deposits. 相似文献

The Jian Cha Ling gold deposit is sited in folded and faulted Palaeoproterozoic rocks of the uplifted Mian-Lue-Yang block, adjacent to the Mianlue suture zone within the West Qinling mineral province, along the northern margin of the South China craton. Early Mesozoic gold mineralization at Jian Cha Ling, which has a pre-mined resource of about 536,000 oz Au, is controlled by the so-called F 1 45 fault. The fault is a generally steeply N-dipping, WNW-trending deformation zone that is the result of dislocation along bedding planes, early foliation and axial planar surfaces of regional folds. The fault zone marks the contact between serpentinized, lower greenschist-facies dunites, harzburgites and minor gabbroic units in the footwall, and a metasedimentary sequence in the hanging wall that is dominated by metadolomite, metalimestone and phyllitic schists. Brittle–ductile deformation, partitioning of strain along pre-existing zones of weakness, and the formation of intrashear zone lozenges contributed to the development of a complex fault zone geometry. Variations in both dip and strike of discrete dislocation surfaces related to oblique, sinistral–reverse movement along the F 1 45 fault zone focussed auriferous hydrothermal fluids along three dominant structural orientations. Gold was preferentially deposited along shallowly NNE-dipping and shallowly to moderately NNW-dipping fault segments, and is also associated with shallowly WSW-dipping, dolomite-dominated vein sets. Disseminated, economic gold grades (>4 g/t Au) are restricted to the footwall ultramafic rocks to within about 5 to 10 m of the contact with the hanging wall. Gold is related to laminated, realgar- and orpiment- bearing sheeted veins and hydrothermal breccias, as well as slickolites and fault gouge. Gold-bearing vein sets are located within the relatively undeformed, ultramafic intrashear zone lozenges. Gold-related alteration is dominated by extremely fine-grained, arsenic-bearing sulphide minerals and dolomite, with additional white mica and clay minerals. The structural setting of the deposit, combined with published data on the geological evolution of the West Qinling mineral province, suggest that the Jian Cha Ling gold deposit developed in an uplifted basement block during the final phases of northward subduction and suturing of the South China craton with the South Qinling orogen along the Mianlue Suture Zone, during the changeover from a compressional to transpressional tectonic regime in Late Triassic to Middle Jurassic times. 相似文献

This outcrop-based study reports diffuse joints and veins, normal to strike-slip fault zones and minor folds that developed, from Miocene to Quaternary, within the clastic to siliceous sedimentary record of the forearc Pisco Basin of southern Peru. Patterns, orientations, dimensional parameters and other outcrop-scale characteristics of the various deformation features are illustrated and their genetic mechanisms and timing of development are inferred. These new structural data and interpretations allow a better constraint of the structural style and evolution of the Pisco Basin, and can represent useful guidelines for characterizing the outcrop-scale deformation affecting similar forearc basins along the Peruvian coast.Major results of this study are that the development of the documented deformation features, their patterns, dimensional parameters and kinematics seem influenced by local perturbations of the paleostress field by mechanic processes partly independent of plate tectonics forces. These processes include strain localization on both pre-existing and progressively forming new structural discontinuities, and cyclic switches of the horizontal, principal stress axes σ2 and σ3. In particular, we discuss how different normal fault patterns, from sub-parallel to multidirectional/polygonal, could form in a same deformation phase in response of the local σ2/σ3 magnitude ratio, as an evolution of stratabound, mutually orthogonal vein sets. 相似文献

This study uses a representative dataset of more than 500 vein samples from the Navachab gold deposit containing information on the gold concentration, structural orientation, vein thickness, alteration and host rock type to investigate small scale controls on the grade distribution in the veins in order to obtain a better understanding of the architecture of the Navachab ore bodies. We calculated mean gold concentrations for each vein set in different parts of the mine. We then examine the preferential mineralisation of certain vein sets by setting this grade information into context to other geological parameters such as the structural geology of that particular part of the mine as well as the above mentioned factors structural orientation of the vein, vein thickness, alteration- and host rock type. Our main findings are that vein sets oriented favourably to the stress field and at high angles to the bedding are better mineralised than veins sets oriented at low angles to the bedding. Other factors do not exert a great influence on the gold concentration in the veins. We propose that the gold grade in the veins is influenced by the effectiveness of fluid flow into the veins and by time rates during vein propagation and fluid flow. 相似文献

The Bagassi gold deposits are situated on the West African craton and hosted in Palaeoproterozoic rocks of the Houndé greenstone belt, southwest Burkina Faso. High-grade gold mineralisation is hosted in quartz–gold ± pyrite veins-lodes (V1A), in dilational zones and narrow shears in the Bagassi granitoid, and forms the majority of the resource–reserve portfolio in the Bagassi exploration permits, with gold grades of 18–21 g/t. Shear hosted gold-pyrite mineralisation in quartz veins in dilational jogs (V1B) occurs along narrow discontinuous shear zones that trend north-northwest in Birimian-aged metabasaltic units, and forms a secondary gold resource. Gold mineralisation is restricted to formation in the late Eburnean Orogeny and formed during a change from east-west to transcurrent compression and shearing. The Bagassi deposits demonstrate that granitoids emplaced prior to onset of the Eburnean Orogeny represent viable gold mineralisation in host rocks that are increasingly seen to be associated with significant gold resources. 相似文献

Abstract. Intrusion‐related gold deposits are widely distributed within the North China craton or along its marginal fold belts. Presently, about 200 individual intrusion‐related gold deposits (prospects) have been discovered, among which Yuerya, Anjia‐yingzi, Linglong, Jiaojia, Chenjiazhangzi, Qiyugou, Jinjiazhuang, Dongping, Hougou, Huangtuliang, Guilaizhuang, Wulashan and Donghuofang are the most important ones. In general, the intrusion‐related gold deposits can be classified into three major groups according to their host rocks: (1) hosted by or related to felsic intrusions, including (la) calc‐alkaline granitoid intrusions and (lb) cryptoexplosion breccia pipes; (2) related to ultramafic intrusions, and (3) hosted by or related to alkaline intrusions. The first group contains the Yuerya, Anjiayingzi, Linglong, Jiaojia, Chenjiazhangzi and Qiyugou gold deposits. Gold mineralization at these deposits occurs within Mesozoic Yanshanian calc‐alkaline granitoid intrusions or cryptoexplosion breccia pipes as gold‐bearing quartz veins and replacement bodies. Pyrite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, native gold and electrum are major metallic minerals. The Jinjiazhuang deposit belongs to the second group, and occurs within Hercynian diopsidite and peridotite as quartz veins and replacement bodies. Pyrite, marcasite, arsenopyrite, native gold and electrum are identified. The third group includes the Dongping, Hougou, Huangtuliang, Guilaizhuang, Wulashan and Donghuofang deposits. Gold mineralization at these deposits occurs predominantly within the Hercynian alkaline intrusive complexes as K‐feldspar‐quartz veins and replacement bodies. Major metal minerals are pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite, tellurides, native gold and electrum. All these pyrite separates from Hercynian and Yanshanian intrusions or cryptoexplosion pipes associated with the gold deposits show a broad range in δ34S value, which is overall higher than those Precambrian rocks and their hosted gold deposits. For the alkaline intrusion‐related gold deposits, the δ34S values of the sulfides (pyrite, galena and chalcopyrite) from the deposits increase systematically from orebodies to the alkaline intrusions. All of these intrusion‐related gold deposits show relatively radiogenic lead isotopic compositions compared to mantle or lower crust curves. Most lead isotope data of sulfides from the gold ores plot in between the fields of the intrusions and Precambrian metamorphic rocks. Data are interpreted as indicative of a mixing of sulfur and lead from magma with those from Precambrian metamorphic rocks. Isotopic age data, geological and geochemical evidences suggest that the ore‐forming materials for the intrusion‐related gold deposits were generated during the emplacement of the Hercynian or Yanshanian intrusion. The calc‐alkaline or alkaline magma may provide heat, volatiles and metals for the intrusion‐related gold deposits. Evolved meteoric water, which circulated the wall rocks, was also progressively involved in the magmatic hydrothermal system, and may have dominated the ore fluids during late stage of ore‐forming processes. Therefore, the ore fluid may have resulted from the mixing of calc‐alkaline or alkaline magmatic fluids and evolved meteoric water. All these intrusion‐related gold deposits are believed to be products of Hercynian or Yanshanian calc‐alkaline and alkaline igneous processes along deep‐seated fault zones within the North China craton or along its marginal belts. 相似文献

Flanking structures are deflections of planar or linear fabric elements in a rock alongside a cross-cutting object such as a vein, fracture or burrow. Flanking structures are divided into flanking-folds and flanking shear-bands. Both structures can develop by a range of mechanisms including intrusion or in situ formation of veins that bisects existing fold trains or shear-bands along the axis of the structure; flow partitioning alongside an active fault in a ductilely deforming rock; passive rotation of a vein with attached narrow rim of wall rock formed by alteration of the wall rock during intrusion of the vein; development of a shear zone in or along a pre-existing vein; and passive amplification of small deflections alongside a vein or burrow. Flanking structures can be used to establish a sequence of deformation and intrusion or partial melting, and some types of flanking structures can be used as shear sense indicators or to determine finite strain. 相似文献

大桦背花岗岩体位于内蒙古乌拉山地区,东距哈达门沟大型钾长石—石英金矿床约5km。前人对该岩体曾做过不少同位素年代学研究,所得结果相差较大,但是多数研究者认为大桦背岩体与区内金矿化具有成因联系。本文采用先进的高灵敏、高分辨率的离子探针(SHRIMP)对大桦背岩体进行了锆石U-Ph定点定年研究。结果表明,大桦背岩体的形成年龄为353±7Ma,应为海西旋回早期产物。此年龄比已得到的乌拉山金矿区成矿年龄大至少70Ma,因而推测大桦背岩体与金矿化之间不存在直接的成因联系。 相似文献

Age constraints on Tarkwaian palaeoplacer and lode-gold formation in the Tarkwa-Damang district, SW Ghana 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Two major epigenetic gold-forming events are recorded in the world-class gold province of southwest Ghana. A pre-Tarkwaian event was the source of the world-class Tarkwa palaeoplacers whereas post-Birimian and Tarkwaian deformation, which was related to the Eburnean orogeny, gave rise to the world-class (e.g. Prestea) to giant (e.g. Obuasi) orogenic gold deposits which have made the region famous for more than 2,500 years. A maximum age of 2133±4 Ma for Tarkwaian sedimentation is provided by 71 of 111 concordant SHRIMP II U–Pb dates from detrital zircons in Tarkwaian clastic rocks from Damang and Bippo Bin, northeast of Tarkwa. The overall data distribution broadly overlaps the relatively poorly constrained ages of Birimian volcanism and associated Dixcove-type granitoid emplacement, indicating syntectonic development of the Tarkwaian sedimentary basin. These zircon ages argue against derivation of the palaeoplacer gold from an orogenic gold source related to the compressional phase of an orogeny significantly older than the Eburnean orogeny. Instead, they suggest that the gold source was either orogenic gold lodes related to an earlier compressional phase of a diachronous Eburnean orogeny or ca. 2200–2100 Ma intrusion-related gold lode. The CO2-rich fluid inclusions in associated vein-quartz pebbles are permissive of either source. At the Damang deposit, an epigenetic, orogenic lode-gold system clearly overprinted, and sulphidised low-grade palaeoplacer hematite–magnetite gold occurrences in the Banket Series conglomerate within the Tarkwaian sedimentary sequence. Gold mineralisation is demonstrably post-peak metamorphism, as gold-related alteration assemblages overprint metamorphic assemblages in host rocks. In alteration zones surrounding the dominant, subhorizontal auriferous quartz veins, there are rare occurrences of hydrothermal xenotime which give a SHRIMP U–Pb age of 2063±9 Ma for gold mineralisation. The similar structural timing of epigenetic gold mineralisation in Tarkwaian host rocks at Damang to that in mainly Birimian host rocks elsewhere in southwest Ghana, particularly at Obuasi, suggests that 2063±9 Ma is the best available age estimate for widespread orogenic gold mineralisation in the region. Argon–argon ages of 2029±4 and 2034±4 Ma for hydrothermal biotite from auriferous quartz veins appear to represent uplift and cooling of the region below about 300 °C, as estimates of the temperature of gold mineralisation are higher, at around 400 °C. If peak metamorphism, with temperatures of about 550 °C, is assumed to have occurred at about 2100 Ma, the biotite ages, in combination with the xenotime age, suggest a broadly constant uplift rate for the region of about 1 km per 10 million years from about 2100 to 2025 Ma. 相似文献
