Summary The Dachang Sn-polymetallic ore district is one of the largest tin producing districts in China. Its origin has long been
in dispute between magmatic-hydrothermal replacement and submarine exhalative-hydrothermal origin. The Dachang ore district
comprises several types of ore deposits, including the Lamo magmatogenic skarn deposit near a granite intrusion, the Changpo-Tongkeng
bedded and vein-type sulfide deposit, and the Gaofeng massive sulfide deposit. Sulfide minerals from the Lamo skarn ores show
δ34S values in the range between −3 and +4‰ with a mean close to zero, suggesting a major magmatic sulfur source that likely
was the intrusive Longxianggai granite. Sulfide minerals from the Gaofeng massive ores show higher δ34S values between +5 and +12‰, whereas sulfide minerals from the Changpo-Tongkeng bedded ores display lighter δ34S values between −7 and −0.2‰. The difference in the sulfur isotope ranges in the two deposits can be interpreted by different
degrees of inorganic thermochemcial reduction of marine sulfate using a one-step batch separation fractionation model. Sulfur
isotopic compositions from the vein-type ores at Changpo-Tongkeng vary widely from −8 to +4‰, but most of the data cluster
around −2.9‰, which is close to that of bedded ores (−3.6‰). The sulfur in vein-type ores might be derived from bedded ores
or it represents a mixture of magmatic- and sedimentary-derived sulfur. Pb isotopic compositions of sulfide minerals in the
Dachang ore district reveal a difference between massive and bedded ores, with the massive ores displaying more radiogenic
Pb isotope ratios. Correlations of 206Pb/204Pb and 207Pb/204Pb or 208Pb/204Pb for the massive and bedded ores are interpreted as two-component mixing of Pb leached from sedimentary host rocks and from
deep-seated Precambrian basement rocks composed of metamorphosed volcano-sedimentary rocks. Pb isotopic compositions of sulfide
minerals from vein-type ores overlap with those of bedded sulfides. Similar to the sulfur, the lead in vein-type ores might
be derived from bedded ores. Skarn ores at Lamo show very limited variations in Pb isotopic compositions, which may reflect
a major magmatic-hydrothermal lead source. Helium isotope data of fluid inclusions trapped in sulfides indicate that He in
the massive and bedded ores has a different origin than He in fluorite of granite-related veins. The 3He/4He ratios of 1.2–2.9 Ra of fluid inclusions from sulfides at Gaofeng and Changpo-Tongkeng imply a contribution of mantle-derived
fluids. Overall our data support a submarine exhalative-hydrothermal origin for the massive and bedded ore types at Dachang.

Gossan Hill is an Archean (∼3.0 Ga) Cu–Zn–magnetite-rich volcanic-hosted massive sulfide (VHMS) deposit in the Yilgarn Craton
of Western Australia. Massive sulfide and magnetite occur within a layered succession of tuffaceous, felsic volcaniclastic
rocks of the Golden Grove Formation. The Gossan Hill deposit consists of two stratigraphically separate ore zones that are
stratabound and interconnected by sulfide veins. Thickly developed massive sulfide and stockwork zones in the north of the
deposit are interpreted to represent a feeder zone. The deposit is broadly zoned from a Cu–Fe-rich lower ore zone, upwards
through Cu–Zn to Zn–Ag–Au–Pb enrichment in the upper ore zone. New sulfur isotope studies at the Gossan Hill deposit indicate
that the variation is wider than previously reported, with sulfide δ34S values varying between −1.6 and 7.8‰ with an average of 2.1 ± 1.4‰ (1σ error). Sulfur isotope values have a broad systematic
stratigraphic increase of approximately 1.2‰ from the base to the top of the deposit. This variation in sulfur isotope values
is significant in view of typical narrow ranges for Archean VHMS deposits. Copper-rich sulfides in the lower ore zone have
a narrower range (δ34S values of −1.6 to 3.4‰, average ∼1.6 ± 0.9‰) than sulfides in the upper ore zone. The lower ore zone is interpreted to have
formed from a relatively uniform reduced sulfur source dominated by leached igneous rock sulfur and minor magmatic sulfur.
Towards the upper Zn-rich ore zone, an overall increase in δ34S values is accompanied by a wider range of δ34S values, with the greatest variation occurring in massive pyrite at the southern margin of the upper ore zone (−1.0 to 7.8‰).
The higher average δ34S values (2.8 ± 2.1‰) and their wider range are explained by mixing of hydrothermal fluids containing leached igneous rock
sulfur with Archean seawater (δ34S values of 2 to 3‰) near the paleoseafloor. The widest range of δ34S values at the southern margin of the deposit occurs away from the feeder zone and is attributed to greater seawater mixing
away from the central upflow zone.

Vein-type tin mineralization in the Dadoushan deposit, Laochang ore field, Gejiu district, SW China, is predominantly hosted in Triassic carbonate rocks (Gejiu Formation) over cupolas of the unexposed Laochang equigranular granite intrusion. The most common vein mineral is tourmaline, accompanied by skarn minerals (garnet, diopside, epidote, phlogopite) and beryl. The main ore mineral is cassiterite, accompanied by minor chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, and pyrite, as well as scheelite. The tin ore grade varies with depth, with the highest grades (~1.2 % Sn) prevalent in the lower part of the vein zone. Muscovite 40Ar–39Ar dating yielded a plateau age of 82.7 ± 0.7 Ma which defines the age of the vein-type mineralization. Measured sulfur isotope compositions (δ 34S = −4.1 to 3.9 ‰) of the sulfides (arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and pyrrhotite) indicate that the sulfur in veins is mainly derived from a magmatic source. The sulfur isotope values of the ores are consistent with those from the underlying granite (Laochang equigranular granite, −3.7 to 0.1 ‰) but are different from the carbonate wall rocks of the Gejiu Formation (7.1 to 11.1 ‰). The calculated and measured oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions of the ore-forming fluids (δ 18OH2O = −2.4 to 5.5 ‰, δD = −86 to −77 ‰) suggest an initially magmatic fluid which gradually evolved towards meteoric water during tin mineralization. 相似文献

The sulfur isotopic composition of sulfides and barite from hydrothermal deposits at the Valu Fa Ridge back-arc spreading
center in the southern Lau Basin has been investigated. Sulfide samples from the White Church area at the northern Valu Fa
Ridge have δ34S values averaging +3.8‰ (n= 10) for bulk sphalerite-chalcopyrite mineralization and +4.8‰ for pyrite (n= 10). Barite associated with the massive sulfides exhibits an average of +20.7‰ (n= 10). Massive sulfides from the active Vai Lili hydrothermal field at the central Valu Fa Ridge have much higher δ34S ratios averaging +8.0‰ for bulk sphalerite-chalcopyrite mineralization (n= 5), +9.3‰ for pyrite samples (n= 5), and +8.0‰ and +10.9‰ for a chalcopyrite and a sphalerite separate, respectively. The isotopic composition of barite
from the Vai Lili field is similar to that of barite from the White Church area and averages +21.0‰ (n= 8). Sulfide and barite samples from the Hine Hina area at the southern Valu Fa Ridge have δ34S values that are considerably lighter than those observed for samples from the other areas and average −4.9‰ for pyrite (n= 9), −4.0 and −5.7‰ for two samples of sphalerite-chalcopyrite intergrowth, and −3.4‰ for a single chalcopyrite separate.
The total spread in the isotopic composition of sulfides from Vai Lili and Hine Hina is more than 20‰ over a distance of less
than 30 km. The δ34S values of sulfides at Hine Hina are the lowest values so far reported for volcanic-hosted polymetallic massive sulfides
from the modern seafloor. Barite from the Hine Hina field also has unusually light sulfur with δ34S values of +16.1 to +16.7‰ (n= 5). Isotopic compositions of the sulfides at Hine Hina indicate a dramatic decrease in δ34S from ordinary magmatic values and, in the absence of biogenic sulfur and/or boiling, imply a unique 34S-depleted source of probable magmatic origin. Sulfide-barite mineralization in the Hine Hina area is associated with a distinctive
alteration assemblage consisting of cristobalite, pyrophyllite, kaolinite, opal-CT, talc, pyrite, native sulfur, and alunite.
Similar styles of alteration are typically known from high-sulfidation epithermal systems on land. Alunite-bearing, advanced
argillic alteration in the Hine Hina field confirms the role of acidic, volatile-rich fluids, and a δ34S value of +10.4‰ for the sulfur in the alunite is consistent with established kinetic isotope effects which accompany the
disproportionation of magmatic SO2 into H2S and H2SO4. The Hine Hina field occurs near the propagating tip of the Valu Fa back-arc spreading center (i.e., dominated by dike injections
and seafloor eruptions) and therefore may have experienced the largest contribution of magmatic volatiles of the three fields.
The sulfur isotopic ratios of the hydrothermal precipitates and the presence of a distinctive epithermal-like argillic alteration
in the Hine Hina field suggest a direct contribution of magmatic vapor to the hydrothermal system and support the concept
that magmatic volatiles may be an important component of some volcanogenic massive sulfide-forming hydrothermal systems.

The strata-bound Cu−Pb−Zn polymetallic sulfide deposits occur in metamorphic rocks of greenschist phase of the middle-upper
Proterozoic Langshan Group in central Inner Mongolia. δ34S values for sulfides range from −3.1‰ to +37.3‰, and an apparent difference is noticed between vein sulfides and those in
bedded rocks. For example, δ34S values for bedded pyrite range from +10.6‰ to +20.0‰, while those for vein pyrite vary from −3.1‰ to +14.1‰. δ34S of bedded pyrrhotite is in the range +7.9‰–+23.5‰ in comparison with +6.5‰–+17.1‰ for vein pyrrhotite. The wide scatter
of δ34S and the enrichment of heavier sulfur indicate that sulfur may have been derived from H2S as a result of bacterial reduction of sulfates in the sea water. Sulfur isotopic composition also differs from deposit to
deposit in this area because of the difference in environment in which they were formed. The mobilization of bedded sulfides
in response to regional metamorphism and magmatic intrusion led to the formation of vein sulfides.
δ18O and δ13C of ore-bearing rocks and wall rocks are within the range typical of ordinary marine facies, with the exception of lower
values for ore-bearing marble at Huogeqi probably due to diopsidization and tremalitization of carbonate rocks.
Pb isotopic composition is relatively stable and characterized by lower radio-genetic lead. The age of basement rocks was
calculated to be about 23.9 Ma and ore-forming age 7.8 Ma.207Pb/204Pb−206Pb/204Pb and208Pb/204Pb−206Pb/204Pb plots indicate that Pb may probably be derived from the lower crust or upper mantle.
It is believed that the deposits in this region are related to submarine volcanic exhalation superimposed by later regional
metamorphism and magmatic intrusion. 相似文献

Infrared microthermometric and stable isotopic study of fluid inclusions in wolframite at the Xihuashan tungsten deposit,Jiangxi province,China 总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7
The Xihuashan tungsten deposit, Jiangxi province, China, is a world-class vein-type ore deposit hosted in Cambrian strata and Mesozoic granitic intrusions. There are two major sets of subparallel ore-bearing quartz veins. The ore mineral assemblage includes wolframite and molybdenite, with minor amounts of arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite. There are only two-phase aqueous-rich inclusions in wolframite but at least three major types of inclusions in quartz: two- or three-phase CO2-rich inclusions, two-phase pure CO2 inclusions and two-phase aqueous inclusions, indicating boiling. Fluid inclusions in wolframite have relatively higher homogenization temperatures and salinities (239–380°C, 3.8–13.7 wt.% NaCl equiv) compared with those in quartz (177–329°C, 0.9–8.1 wt.% NaCl equiv). These distinct differences suggest that those conventional microthermometric data from quartz are not adequate to explain the ore formation process. Enthalpy–salinity plot shows a linear relationship, implying mixing of different sources of fluids. Although boiling occurred during vein-type mineralization, it seems negligible for wolframite deposition. Mixing is the dominant mechanism of wolframite precipitation in Xihuashan. δ34S values of the sulfides range from −1.6 to +0.1‰, indicative of a magmatic source of sulfur. δ18O values of wolframite are relatively homogeneous, ranging from +4.8‰ to +6.3‰. Oxygen isotope modeling of boiling and mixing processes also indicates that mixing of two different fluids was an important mechanism in the precipitation of wolframite. 相似文献

The sediment-hosted stratiform Cu–Co mineralization of the Luiswishi and Kamoto deposits in the Katangan Copperbelt is hosted
by the Neoproterozoic Mines Subgroup. Two main hypogene Cu–Co sulfide mineralization stages and associated gangue minerals
(dolomite and quartz) are distinguished. The first is an early diagenetic, typical stratiform mineralization with fine-grained
minerals, whereas the second is a multistage syn-orogenic stratiform to stratabound mineralization with coarse-grained minerals.
For both stages, the main hypogene Cu–Co sulfide minerals are chalcopyrite, bornite, carrollite, and chalcocite. These minerals
are in many places replaced by supergene sulfides (e.g., digenite and covellite), especially near the surface, and are completely
oxidized in the weathered superficial zone and in surface outcrops, with malachite, heterogenite, chrysocolla, and azurite
as the main oxidation products. The hypogene sulfides of the first Cu–Co stage display δ34S values (−10.3‰ to +3.1‰ Vienna Canyon Diablo Troilite (V-CDT)), which partly overlap with the δ34S signature of framboidal pyrites (−28.7‰ to 4.2‰ V-CDT) and have ∆34SSO4-Sulfides in the range of 14.4‰ to 27.8‰. This fractionation is consistent with bacterial sulfate reduction (BSR). The hypogene sulfides
of the second Cu–Co stage display δ34S signatures that are either similar (−13.1‰ to +5.2‰ V-CDT) to the δ34S values of the sulfides of the first Cu–Co stage or comparable (+18.6‰ to +21.0‰ V-CDT) to the δ34S of Neoproterozoic seawater. This indicates that the sulfides of the second stage obtained their sulfur by both remobilization
from early diagenetic sulfides and from thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR). The carbon (−9.9‰ to −1.4‰ Vienna Pee Dee
Belemnite (V-PDB)) and oxygen (−14.3‰ to −7.7‰ V-PDB) isotope signatures of dolomites associated with the first Cu–Co stage
are in agreement with the interpretation that these dolomites are by-products of BSR. The carbon (−8.6‰ to +0.3‰ V-PDB) and
oxygen (−24.0‰ to −10.3‰ V-PDB) isotope signatures of dolomites associated with the second Cu–Co stage are mostly similar
to the δ13C (−7.1‰ to +1.3‰ V-PDB) and δ18O (−14.5‰ to −7.2‰ V-PDB) of the host rock and of the dolomites of the first Cu–Co stage. This indicates that the dolomites
of the second Cu–Co stage precipitated from a high-temperature, host rock-buffered fluid, possibly under the influence of
TSR. The dolomites associated with the first Cu–Co stage are characterized by significantly radiogenic Sr isotope signatures
(0.70987 to 0.73576) that show a good correspondence with the Sr isotope signatures of the granitic basement rocks at an age
of ca. 816 Ma. This indicates that the mineralizing fluid of the first Cu–Co stage has most likely leached radiogenic Sr and
Cu–Co metals by interaction with the underlying basement rocks and/or with arenitic sedimentary rocks derived from such a
basement. In contrast, the Sr isotope signatures (0.70883 to 0.71215) of the dolomites associated with the second stage show
a good correspondence with the 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.70723 to 0.70927) of poorly mineralized/barren host rocks at ca. 590 Ma. This indicates that the fluid of the
second Cu–Co stage was likely a remobilizing fluid that significantly interacted with the country rocks and possibly did not
mobilize additional metals from the basement rocks. 相似文献

The Bainiuchang deposit in Yunnan Province, China, is located geographically between the Gejiu ore field and the Dulong ore
field. In addition to >7000 t Ag reserves, the deposit possesses large-scale Pb, Zn, Sn reserves and a mass of dispersed elements
(i.e., In, Cd, Ge, Ga, etc.). Based on systematic studies of sulfur isotopic composition, the authors conclude: The Bainiuchang
deposit experienced two epochs of metallogenesis, i.e., the Middle-Cambrian sea-floor exhalative sedimentary metallogenic
epoch and the Yanshanian magmatic hydrothermal superimposition metallogenic epoch. In the two metallogenic epochs, the δ34S values of sulfides were all near 0, showing a tendency of being enriched slightly in heavy sulfur. The δ34S values of sulfides in the early metallogenic epoch are within the range of 2‰–5‰ with a peak value range of 2‰–3‰ and an
average of 3.0‰, and those of sulfides in the late metallogenic epoch are within the range of 2‰–6‰ with a peak value of 3‰–4‰
and an average of 3.9‰. For the single metallogenic epoch, sulfur in the ore-forming fluids in the early epoch already reached
isotopic equilibrium and was derived mainly from underneath the magma chamber or basement metamorphic igneous rocks. Sulfur
in the sulfides in the late epoch was derived mainly from magmatic hydrothermal fluids formed in the process of remelting
of the basement metamorphic igneous rocks. 相似文献

The El Cobre deposit is located in eastern Cuba within the volcanosedimentary sequence of the Sierra Maestra Paleogene arc.
The deposit is hosted by tholeiitic basalts, andesites and tuffs and comprises thick stratiform barite and anhydrite bodies,
three stratabound disseminated up to massive sulphide bodies produced by silicification and sulphidation of limestones or
sulphates, an anhydrite stockwork and a siliceous stockwork, grading downwards to quartz veins. Sulphides are mainly pyrite,
chalcopyrite and sphalerite; gold occurs in the stratabound ores. Fluid inclusions measured in sphalerite, quartz, anhydrite
and calcite show salinities between 2.3 and 5.7 wt% NaCl eq. and homogenisation temperatures between 177 and 300°C. Sulphides
from the stratabound mineralisation display δ
34S values of 0‰ to +6.0‰, whilst those from the feeder zone lie between −1.4‰ and +7.3‰. Sulphides show an intra-grain sulphur
isotope zonation of about 2‰; usually, δ
34S values increase towards the rims. Sulphate sulphur has δ
34S in the range of +17‰ to +21‰, except two samples with values of +5.9‰ and +7.7‰. Sulphur isotope data indicate that the
thermochemical reduction of sulphate from a hydrothermal fluid of seawater origin was the main source of sulphide sulphur
and that most of the sulphates precipitated by heating of seawater. The structure of the deposit, mineralogy, fluid inclusion
and isotope data suggest that the deposit formed from seawater-derived fluids with probably minor supply of magmatic fluids. 相似文献

Evidence for a magmatic origin for Carlin-type gold deposits: isotopic composition of sulfur in the Betze-Post-Screamer Deposit, Nevada, USA 总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6
We report here new sulfur isotope analyses from the Betze-Post-Screamer deposit, the largest Carlin-type gold deposit in the
world. Carlin-type deposits contain high concentrations of arsenic, antimony, mercury, tellurium and other elements of environmental
interest, and are surrounded by large volumes of crust in which these elements are also enriched. Uncertainty about the source
of sulfur and metals in and around Carlin-type deposits has hampered formulation of models for their origin, which are needed
for improved mineral exploration and environmental assessment. Previous studies have concluded that most Carlin-type deposits
formed from sulfide sulfur that is largely of sedimentary origin. Most of these studies are based on analyses of mineral separates
consisting of pre-ore diagenetic pyrite with thin overgrowths of ore-related arsenian pyrite rather than pure, ore-related
pyrite. Our SIMS spot analyses of ore-related pyrite overgrowths in the Screamer zone of the Betze-Post-Screamer deposit yield
δ34S values of about −1 to 4‰ with one value of about 7‰. Conventional analyses of realgar and orpiment separates from throughout
the deposit yield δ34S values of about 5–7‰ with one value of 10‰ in the Screamer zone. These results, along with results from an earlier SIMS
study in the Post zone of the deposit and phase equilibrium constraints, indicate that early arsenian pyrite were formed from
fluids of magmatic origin with variable contamination from sulfur in Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. Later arsenic sulfides were
formed from solutions to which sulfur of sedimentary origin had been added. The presence of Paleozoic sedimentary sulfur in
Carlin-type deposits does not require direct involvement of hydrothermal solutions of sedimentary origin. Instead, it could
have been added by magmatic assimilation of Paleozoic sedimentary rocks or by hydrothermal leaching of sulfur from wall rocks
to the deposit. Thus, the dominant process delivering sulfur, arsenic, gold and mineralizing fluids to Carlin-type systems
and their surrounding country rocks was probably separation of fluids from a magmatic source.

The Sarylakh and Sentachan gold-antimony deposits,Sakha-Yakutia: A case of combined mesothermal gold-quartz and epithermal stibnite ores 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
N. S. Bortnikov G. N. Gamynin O. V. Vikent’eva V. Yu. Prokof’ev A. V. Prokop’ev 《Geology of Ore Deposits》2010,52(5):339-372
New mineralogical, thermobarometric, isotopic, and geochemical data provide evidence for long and complex formation history
of the Sarylakh and Sentachan Au-Sb deposits conditioned by regional geodynamics and various types of ore mineralization,
differing in age and source of ore matter combined in the same ore-localizing structural units. The deposits are situated
in the Taryn metallogenic zone of the East Yakutian metallogenic belt in the central Verkhoyansk-Kolyma Fold Region. They
are controlled by the regional Adycha-Taryn Fault Zone that separates the Kular-Nera Terrane and the western part of the Verkhoyansk
Fold-Thrust Belt. The fault extends along the strike of the northwest-trending linear folds and is deep-rooted and repeatedly
reactivated. The orebodies are mineralized crush zones accompanied by sulfidated (up to 100 m wide) quartz-sericite metasomatic
rocks and replacing dickite-pyrophyllite alteration near stibnite veinlets. Two stages of low-sulfide gold-quartz and stibnite
mineralization are distinguished. The formation conditions of the early milk white quartz in orebodies with stibnite mineralization
at the Sarylakh and Sentachan deposits are similar: temperature interval 340–280°C, salt concentration in fluids 6.8–1.6 wt
% NaCl equiv, fluid pressure 3430–1050 bar, and sodic bicarbonate fluid composition. The ranges of fluid salinity overlapped
at both deposits. In the late regenerated quartz that attends stibnite mineralization, fluid inclusions contain an aqueous
solution with salinity of 3.2 wt % NaCl equiv and are homogenized into liquid at 304–189°C. Syngenetic gas inclusions contain
nitrogen 0.19 g/cm3 in density. The pressure of 300 bar is estimated at 189°C. The composition of the captured fluid is characterized as K-Ca
bicarbonatesulfate. The sulfur isotopic composition has been analyzed in pyrite and arsenopyrite from ore and metasomatic
zones, as well as in coarse-, medium-, and fine-grained stibnite varieties subjected to dynamometamorphism. The following
δ34S values, ‰ have been established at the Sarylakh deposit: −2.0 to −0.9 in arsenopyrite, −5.5 to −1.1 in pyrite, and −5.5
to −3.6 in stibnite. At the Sentachan deposit: −0.8 to +1.0 in arsenopyrite, +0.5 to +2.6 in pyrite, and −3.9 to +0.6 in stibnite.
Sulfides from the Sentachan deposit is somewhat enriched in 34S. The 18O of milk white quartz at the Sarylakh deposit varies from +14.8 to 17.0‰ and from +16.4 to + 19.3‰ at the Sentachan. The
δ18O of regenerated quartz is +16.5‰ at the Sarylakh and +17.6 to +19.8‰ at the Sentachan. The δ18O of carbonates varies from +15.0 to 16.3% at the Sarylakh and from +16.7 to +18.2‰ at the Sentachan. The δ13C of carbonates ranges from −9.5 to −12.1‰ and −7.8 to −8.5‰, respectively. The calculated $
\delta ^{18} O_{H_2 O}
$
\delta ^{18} O_{H_2 O}
of the early fluid in equilibrium with quartz and dolomite at 300δC are +7.9 to +10.1‰ for the Sarylakh deposit and +9.5
to +12.4‰ for the Sentachan deposit (+4.9 and 6.0‰ at 200°C for the late fluid, respectively). Most estimates fall into the
interval characteristic of magmatic water (°18O = +5.5 to +9.5‰). 相似文献

Uniformity in sulfur isotope composition in the orogenic gold deposits from the Dharwar Craton,southern India 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The sulfur isotope composition of sulfides (mainly pyrite and arsenopyrite) from gold deposits/prospects of the Dharwar Craton
such as Hutti, Hira-Buddini, Uti, Kolar (Chigargunta), Ajjanahalli, and Jonnagiri has a narrow range (δ34S = +1.1 to +7.1‰). Such craton-scale uniformity of the above gold camps is noteworthy, in spite of the wide diversity in
host rock compositions and their metamorphic conditions, and suggests a magmatic or average crustal source of sulfur for all
deposits studied. In addition, our study points towards gold precipitation from reduced ore fluids, with near-homogeneous
sulfur isotope compositions. 相似文献

Fluid inclusion and stable isotope (O, H, C, and S) constraints on the genesis of the Serrinha gold deposit, Gurupi Belt, northern Brazil 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The Serrinha gold deposit of the Gurupi Belt, northern Brazil, belongs to the class of orogenic gold deposits. The deposit is hosted in highly strained graphitic schist belonging to a Paleoproterozoic (∼2,160 Ma) metavolcano-sedimentary sequence. The ore-zones are up to 11 m thick, parallel to the regional NW–SE schistosity, and characterized by quartz-carbonate-sulfide veinlets and minor disseminations. Textural and structural data indicate that mineralization was syn- to late-tectonic and postmetamorphic. Fluid inclusion studies identified early CO2 (CH4-N2) and CO2 (CH4-N2)-H2O-NaCl inclusions that show highly variable phase ratios, CO2 homogenization, and total homogenization temperatures both to liquid and vapor, interpreted as the product of fluid immiscibility under fluctuating pressure conditions, more or less associated with postentrapment modifications. The ore-bearing fluid typically has 18–33mol% of CO2, up to 4mol% of N2, and less than 2mol% of CH4 and displays moderate to high densities with salinity around 4.5wt% NaCl equiv. Mineralization occurred around 310 to 335°C and 1.3 to 3.0 kbar, based on fluid inclusion homogenization temperatures and oxygen isotope thermometry with estimated oxygen fugacity indicating relatively reduced conditions. Stable isotope data on quartz, carbonate, and fluid inclusions suggest that veins formed from fluids with δ18OH2O and δDH2O (310–335°C) values of +6.2 to +8.4‰ and −19 to −80‰, respectively, which might be metamorphic and/or magmatic and/or mantle-derived. The carbon isotope composition (δ13C) varies from −14.2 to −15.7‰ in carbonates; it is −17.6‰ in fluid inclusion CO2 and −23.6‰ in graphite from the host rock. The δ34S values of pyrite are −2.6 to −7.9‰. The strongly to moderately negative carbon isotope composition of the carbonates and inclusion fluid CO2 reflects variable contribution of organic carbon to an originally heavier fluid (magmatic, metamorphic, or mantle-derived) at the site of deposition and sulfur isotopes indicate some oxidation of the originally reduced fluid. The deposition of gold is interpreted to have occurred mainly in response to phase separation and fluid-rock interactions such as CO2 removal and desulfidation reactions that provoked variations in the fluid pH and redox conditions. 相似文献

Mineralogy and geochemistry of the sodium metasomatism-related uranium occurrence of Aricheng South, Guyana 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Paul Alexandre 《Mineralium Deposita》2010,45(4):351-367
The Aricheng South uranium occurrence is associated with Na metasomatism that affected the granitoids of the Kurupung Batholith
in western Guyana. The mineral paragenesis indicates that late-magmatic albitization was followed by chlorite alteration of
biotite. A minor amount of uraninite occurs in fractures in the newly formed albite crystals, often in company of calcite.
The main mineralization stage occurred later than albitization and chloritization and is represented by brannerite disseminated
in a groundmass of fine-grained hydrothermal zircon. Whole rock geochemistry supports the temporal dissociation of albitization
from the main ore stage. Brannerite, zircon, and uraninite are often partially altered to secondary brannerite, zircon, and
coffinite, respectively. Stable oxygen (chlorite, calcite) and hydrogen (chlorite) isotope compositions suggest that a highly
evolved meteoric fluid, or at least one corresponding to a very high rock/fluid ratio (δ18O of approx. 3.4% to 4‰ and δD of approx. −80‰) may have caused the pre-ore alteration assemblage. The fluids in equilibrium
with main ore stage zircon have δ18O of approx. 6.8‰ and appear to be of magmatic origin. The Aricheng occurrence geochemically, mineralogically, thermally,
and paragenetically resembles the Valhalla U deposit in northern Australia despite differences between the deposits’ host
lithologies, whereas the Lagoa Real and Espinharas U deposits in Brazil have host rock lithology that resembles that of Aricheng. 相似文献

The Janggun iron deposits, Republic of␣Korea, occur as lens-shaped magnesian skarn, magnetite and base-metal sulfide orebodies
developed in the Cambrian Janggun Limestone Formation. Mineralization stage of the deposits can be divided into two separate
events. The skarn stage (107 Ma) consists of magnetite, pyrrhotite, base-metal sulfides, carbonates and magnesian skarn minerals.
The hydrothermal stage (70 Ma) consists of base-metal sulfides, native bismuth, bismuthinite, tetrahedrite, boulangerite,
bournonite and stannite. Mineral assemblages, chemical compositions and thermodynamic considerations indicate that formation
temperatures, −log fs2 and −log fo2 values of ore fluids from the skarn stage were 433 to 345 °C, 8.1 to 9.7 bar and 29.4 to 31.6 bar, and the hydrothermal stage
was 245 to 315 °C, 10.4 to 13.2 bar and 33.6 to 35.4 bar, respectively. Thermochemical considerations indicate that the XCO2 during magnesian skarnization ranged from 0.06 to 0.09, and the activity of H+ presumably decreased when the fluids equilibrated with host dolomitic limestone which resulted in a pH change from about
6.1 to 7.8, and decreases in fo2 and fs2. The δ34S values of ore sulfides have a wide range from 3.2 to 11.6 ‰ (CDT). Calculated 34SH2
S values of ore fluids are 2.9 to 5.4 ‰ (skarn stage) and 8.7 to 13.5 ‰ (hydrothermal stage). These are interpreted to represent
an initial deep-seated, igneous source of sulfur which gave way to influence of oxidized sedimentary sulfur to hydrothermal
stage. The δ13C values of carbonates in ores range from −4.6 to −2.5 ‰ (PDB). It is likely that carbon in the ore fluids was a mixture of
deep-seated magmatic carbon and dissolved carbon of dolomitic limestone. The δ18OH2
O and δD values (SMOW) of water in the ore fluids were 14.7 to 1.8 and −85 to −73 ‰ during the skarn stage and 11.1 to −0.2
and −87 to −80 ‰ in the hydrothermal stage.

Isotope geochemistry of ore fluids for the Dongsheng sandstone-type uranium deposit, China 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：2
The Dongsheng sandstone-type uranium deposit is one of the large-sized sandstone-type uranium deposits discovered in the northern part of the Ordos Basin of China in recent years. Geochemical characteristics of the Dongsheng uranium deposit are significantly different from those of the typical interlayered oxidized sandstone-type uranium ore deposits in the region of Middle Asia. Fluid inclusion studies of the uranium deposit showed that the uranium ore-forming temperatures are within the range of 150–160℃. Their 3He/4He ratios are within the range of 0.02–1.00 R/Ra, about 5–40 times those of the crust. Their 40Ar/36Ar ratios vary from 584 to 1243, much higher than the values of atmospheric argon. The δ18OH2O and δD values of fluid inclusions from the uranium deposit are -3.0‰– -8.75‰ and -55.8‰– -71.3‰, respectively, reflecting the characteristics of mixed fluid of meteoric water and magmatic water. The δ18OH2O and δD values of kaolinite layer at the bottom of the uranium ore deposit are 6.1‰ and -77‰, respectively, showing the characteristics of magmatic water. The δ13CV-PDB and δ18OH2O values of calcite veins in uranium ores are -8.0‰ and 5.76‰, respectively, showing the characteristics of mantle source. Geochemical characteristics of fluid inclusions indicated that the ore-formation fluid for the Dongsheng uranium deposit was a mixed fluid of meteoric water and deep-source fluid from the crust. It was proposed that the Jurassic-Cretaceous U-rich metamorphic rocks and granites widespread in the northern uplift area of the Ordos Basin had been weathered and denudated and the ore-forming elements, mainly uranium, were transported by meteoric waters to the Dongsheng region, where uranium ores were formed. Tectonothermal events and magmatic activities in the Ordos Basin during the Mesozoic made fluids in the deep interior and oil/gas at shallow levels upwarp along the fault zone and activated fractures, filling into U-bearing clastic sandstones, thus providing necessary energy for the formation of uranium ores. 相似文献

The Early Devonian Gumeshevo deposit is one of the largest ore objects pertaining to the dioritic model of the porphyry copper
system paragenetically related to the low-K quartz diorite island-arc complex. The (87Sr/86Sr)t and (ɛNd)t of quartz diorite calculated for t = 390 Ma are 0.7038–0.7045 and 5.0–5.1, respectively, testifying to a large contribution of the mantle component to the composition
of this rock. The contents of typomorphic trace elements (ppm) are as follows: 30–48 REE sum, 5–10 Rb, 9–15 Y, and 1–2 Nb.
The REE pattern is devoid of Eu anomaly. Endoskarn of low-temperature and highly oxidized amphibole-epidote-garnet facies
is surrounded by the outer epidosite zone. Widespread retrograde metasomatism is expressed in replacement of exoskarn and
marble with silicate (chlorite, talc, tremolite)-magnetite-quartz-carbonate mineral assemblage. The 87Sr/86Sr ratios of epidote in endoskarn and carbonate in retrograde metasomatic rocks (0.7054–0.7058 and 0.7053–0.7065, respectively)
are intermediate between the Sr isotope ratios of quartz dioritic rocks and marble (87Sr/86Sr = 0.70784 ± 2). Isotopic parameters of the fluid equilibrated with silicates of skarn and retrograde metasomatic rocks
replacing exoskarn at 400°C are δ18O = +7.4 to +8.5‰ and δD = −49 to −61‰ (relative to SMOW). The δ13C and δ18O of carbonates in retrograde metasomatic rocks after marble are −5.3 to +0.6 (relative to PDB) and +13.0 to +20.2% (relative
to SMOW), respectively. Sulfidation completes metasomatism, nonuniformly superimposed on all metasomatic rocks and marbles
with formation of orebodies, including massive sulfide ore. The δ34S of sulfides is 0 to 2‰ (relative to CDT);87Sr/86Sr of calcite from the late calcite-pyrite assemblage replacing marble is 0.704134 ± 6. The δ13C and 87Sr/86Sr of postore veined carbonates correlate positively (r = 0.98; n = 6). The regression line extends to the marble field. Its opposite end corresponds to magmatic (in terms of Bowman, 1998b)
calcite with minimal δ13C, δ18O, and 87Sr/86Sr values (−6.9 ‰, +6.7‰, and 0.70378 ± 4, respectively). The aforementioned isotopic data show that magmatic fluid was supplied
during all stages of mineral formation and interacted with marble and other rocks, changing its Sr, C, and O isotopic compositions.
This confirms the earlier established redistribution of major elements and REE in the process of metasomatism. A contribution
of meteoric and metamorphic water is often established in quartz from postore veins. 相似文献

Stable and radiogenic isotope composition of stratiform Cu–Co–Zn mineralization and associated sedimentary rocks within the Boléo district of the Miocene Santa Rosalía basin, Baja California Sur, constrains the evolution of seawater and hydrothermal fluids and the mechanisms responsible for sulfide and oxide deposition. Stable isotope geochemistry of limestone and evaporite units indicates a strong paleogeographic influence on the chemistry of the water column. Near-shore limestone at the base of the Boléo Formation is characterized by modified marine carbon (δ
13CPDB=−6.0 to +4.4‰) and oxygen (δ
18OSMOW=+19.5 to +26.2‰) isotope composition due to the influx of 13C- and 18O-depleted fluvial water. Sulfate sulfur isotope composition (δ
34SCDT=+17.21 to +22.3‰ and δ
18OSMOW=+10.7 to +13.1‰) for basal evaporite and claystone facies are similar to Miocene seawater. Strontium isotopes are less radiogenic than expected for Miocene seawater due to interaction with volcanic rocks. Low S/C ratios, high Mn contents and sedimentological evidence indicate the basin water column was oxidizing. The oxygenated basin restricted sulfide precipitation to within the sedimentary pile by replacement of early diagenetic framboidal pyrite and pore-space filling by Cu–Co–Zn sulfides to produce disseminated sulfides. Quartz–Mn oxide oxygen isotope geothermometry constrains mineralization temperature between 18 and 118°C. Sulfur isotopes indicate the following sources of sulfide: (1) bacterial sulfate reduction within the sedimentary pile produced negative δ
34S values (<−20‰) in framboidal pyrite; and (2) bacterial sulfate reduction at high temperature (80–118°C) within the sedimentary pile during the infiltration of the metal-bearing brines produced Cu–Co–Zn sulfides with negative, but close to 0‰, δ
34S values. Isotope modeling of fluid-rock reaction and fluid mixing indicates: (1) sedimentary and marine carbonates (δ
13C=−11.6 to −3.2‰ and δ
18O=+19.0 to +21.8‰) precipitated from basin seawater/pore water that variably mixed with isotopically depleted meteoric waters; and (2) hydrothermal calcite (δ
13C=−7.9 to +4.3‰ and δ
18O=+22.1 to +25.8‰) formed by dissolution and replacement of authigenic marine calcite by downward-infiltrating metalliferous brine and brine-sediment exchange, that prior to reaction with calcite, had mixed with isotopically depleted pore water. The downward infiltration of metalliferous brine is inferred from lateral and stratigraphic metal distributions and from the concentration of Cu sulfides along the upper contact of pyrite-bearing laminae. The co-existence and textural relationships among framboidal pyrite, base metal sulfides, carbonate and Mn–Fe oxides (including magnetite) within mineralized units are consistent with carbonate replacement and high-temperature bacterial reduction within the sedimentary pile occurring simultaneously below a seawater column under predominantly oxygenated conditions. 相似文献

Bulk δ
34Srock values, sulfur contents, and magnetic susceptibility were determined for 12 gold-related granitoid intrusions in southwestern
New Brunswick, the Canadian Appalachians. The sulfur isotope compositions of sulfide minerals in some of the granitoid samples
were also analyzed. This new dataset was used to characterize two distinctive groups of granitoids: (1) a Late Devonian granitic
series (GS) and (2) a Late Silurian to Early Devonian granodioritic to monzogranitic series (GMS). The GS rocks have a large
range in δ
34S values of −7.1‰ to +13‰ with an average of 2.2 ± 5.0‰ (1σ), low bulk-S contents (33 to 7,710 ppm) and low magnetic susceptibility
values (<10−4 SI), consistent with reduced ilmenite-series granites. The GMS rocks have a relatively narrower variation in δ
34S values of −4.4‰ to +7.3‰ with an average 1.2 ± 2.9‰ but with larger ranges in bulk-S contents (45 to 11,100 ppm) and high
magnetic susceptibility values (>10−3 SI), indicative of oxidized magnetite-series granites. The exceptions for the GMS rocks are the Lake George granodiorite
and Tower Hill granite that display reduced characteristics, which may have resulted from interaction of the magmas forming
these intrusions with graphite- or organic carbon-bearing sedimentary rocks. The bulk δ
34S values and S contents of the GMS rocks are interpreted in terms of selective assimilation–fractional crystallization (SAFC)
processes. Degassing processes may account for the δ
34S values and S contents of some GS rocks. The characteristics of our sulfur isotope and abundance data suggest that mineralizing
components S and Au in intrusion-related gold systems are dominantly derived from magmatic sources, although minor contaminants
derived from country rocks are evident. In addition, the molar sulfate to sulfide ratio in a granitic rock sample can be calculated
from the δ
34Srock value of the whole-rock sample and the δ
34Ssulfide (or δ
34Ssulfate) value of sulfide and/or sulfate mineral in the sample on the basis of S-isotope fractionation and mass balance under the
condition of magmatic equilibrium. This may be used to predict the speciation of sulfur in granitic rocks, which can be a
potential exploration tool for intrusion-related gold systems. 相似文献

The chemistry, REE patterns, and carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of carbonates from ore veins of the Darasun deposit
are discussed. In addition to the earlier described siderite, calcite, and carbonates of the dolomite-ankerite series, kutnahorite
is identified. The total REE content in Fe-Mg carbonates of the dolomite-ankerite series (2.8–73 ppm) is much lower than in
later calcite (18–390 ppm). δ13C of Fe-Mg carbonates and calcite varies from +1.1 to −6.7‰ and from −0.9 to −4.9‰, respectively. δ18O of Fe-Mg carbonates and calcite varies from +17.6 to 3.6‰ and from +15.7 to −0.5‰, respectively. The REE sum and carbon
and oxygen isotopic compositions reveal zonal distribution relative to the central granodiorite porphyry stock. The correlation
between the carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions and REE sum reflects variations in the physicochemical formation conditions
and composition of ore-forming fluid. The isotopic composition of fluid is calculated, and possible sources of its components
are considered. Earlier established evidence for a magmatic source of ore-forming fluid and participation of meteoric water
in ore formation is confirmed. Geochemical evidence for interaction of ore-forming fluid with host rocks is furnished. The
relationships between the REE sum, on the one hand, and carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of hydrothermal ore-forming
fluid, on the other, are established. 相似文献
