西秦岭造山带是我国最重要的金成矿带之一。以往研究大多认为造山型金矿床和(类)卡林型金矿床是西秦岭主要的金矿床类型,并且两类金矿床的金成矿作用主要与造山过程中的区域变质作用有关,而与岩浆活动不存在直接的成因联系。位于西秦岭造山带西段的夏河—合作地区大面积出露花岗岩类侵入体,其周缘发育有富金的夕卡岩型铜(钨)矿床。近年来该地区新发现的多个大型—超大型石英脉型金矿床和微细粒浸染型金矿床都与中酸性侵入岩的空间关系紧密,暗示这些金矿床可能和岩浆活动有成因联系。论文在作者研究结果以及总结前人成果基础上,综述了夏河—合作地区典型金(铜)矿床的地质矿化特征、地球化学特征、时空分布特征,以及中酸性侵入岩的岩性特征、形成时代和演化过程。年代学研究结果显示,夏河—合作地区的早子沟微细粒浸染型金矿床、德乌鲁夕卡岩型金(铜)矿床和老豆石英脉型金矿床均形成于250~240 Ma,与邻近的早中三叠世花岗闪长质石英闪长质侵入岩近于同时形成。拉布在卡等石英脉型金矿床略晚于区内中三叠世末期侵位的闪长玢岩脉(约230~225 Ma)形成。H、O、S、C、B、Pb等多种同位素地球化学特征指示该地区早中三叠世金矿床的成矿热液均为岩浆来源,并且显示低氧逸度的特征。早中三叠世中酸性侵入岩的还原性钛铁矿系列花岗岩类特征,以及同时代的多种金矿化类型和成矿分带性,表明夏河—合作地区在早中三叠世(约250~230 Ma)多期次侵位的钛铁矿系列I型中酸性岩浆是金成矿作用的成矿流体和成矿物质的主要来源,其中与250~240 Ma多期金成矿事件有关的准铝质弱过铝质、高钾钙碱性系列花岗岩类侵入岩均经历了幔源基性熔体和壳源酸性熔体的岩浆混合作用,而与约230 Ma的金成矿作用有关的闪长质岩浆岩则可能指示了更多幔源基性熔体的加入。与金(铜)成矿有关的早中三叠世还原性中酸性岩是在古特提斯洋俯冲过程中局部弧后伸展条件下交代富集地幔楔部分熔融形成的基性岩浆与壳源酸性岩浆混合作用的产物。夏河—合作地区形成于早中三叠世的夕卡岩型、电气石石英脉型、石英方解石脉型和微细粒浸染型金矿床共同构成了一个与还原性侵入岩有关的金成矿系统。夏河—合作地区与还原性侵入岩有关的金成矿系统的发现,丰富了西秦岭造山带区域成矿作用的类型,并为西秦岭西段其他早中三叠世岩浆岩分布区(如青海同仁地区)的金矿勘查工作提供了新的思想和方向。 相似文献

Major Cu–Au deposits of iron oxide–copper–gold (IOCG) style are temporally associated with oxidized, potassic granitoids similar to those linked to major porphyry Cu–Au deposits. Stable and radiogenic isotope evidence indicates fluids and ore components were likely sourced from the intrusions. IOCG deposits form over a range of crustal levels because CO2-rich fluids separate from the magmas at higher pressures than in CO2-poor systems, thereby, promoting partitioning of H2O, Cl and metals to the fluid phase. At deep levels, the magma–fluid system cannot generate sufficient mechanical energy to fracture the host rocks as in porphyry systems and the IOCG deposits therefore form in a variety of fault-related structural traps where the magmatic fluids may mix with other fluids to promote ore formation. At shallow levels, the IOCG deposits form breccia and fracture-hosted mineralization styles similar to the hydrothermal intrusive breccias and sulphide vein systems that characterize many porphyry Cu–Au deposits. The fluids associated with IOCG deposits are typically H2O–CO2–salt fluids that evolve by unmixing of the carbonic phase and by mixing with fluids from other sources. In contrast, fluids in porphyry systems typically evolve by boiling of moderate salinity fluid to produce high salinity brine and a vapor phase commonly with input of externally derived fluids. These different fluid compositions and mechanisms of evolution lead to different alteration types and parageneses in porphyry and IOCG deposits. Porphyry Cu–Au deposits typically evolve through potassic, sericitic and (intermediate and/or advanced) argillic stages, while IOCG deposits typically evolve through sodic(–calcic), potassic and carbonate-rich stages, and at deeper levels, generally lack sericitic and argillic alteration. The common association of porphyry and IOCG Cu–Au deposits with potassic, oxidized intermediate to felsic granitoids, together with their contrasting fluid compositions, alteration styles and parageneses suggest that they should be considered as part of the broad family of intrusion-related systems but that they are typically not directly related to each other. 相似文献

A set of sheeted quartz veins cutting 380 Ma monzogranite at Sandwich Point, Nova Scotia, Canada, provide an opportunity to
address issues regarding fluid reservoirs and genesis of intrusion-related gold deposits. The quartz veins, locally with arsenopyrite
(≤5%) and elevated Au–(Bi–Sb–Cu–Zn), occur within the reduced South Mountain Batholith, which also has other zones of anomalous
gold enrichment. The host granite intruded (P = 3.5 kbars) Lower Paleozoic metaturbiditic rocks of the Meguma Supergroup, well known for orogenic vein gold mineralization.
Relevant field observations include the following: (1) the granite contains pegmatite segregations and is cut by aplitic dykes
and zones (≤1–2 m) of spaced fracture cleavage; (2) sheeted veins containing coarse, comb-textured quartz extend into a pegmatite
zone; (3) arsenopyrite-bearing greisens dominated by F-rich muscovite occur adjacent the quartz veins; and (4) vein and greisen
formation is consistent with Riedel shear geometry. Although these features suggest a magmatic origin for the vein-forming
fluids, geochemical studies indicate a more complex origin. Vein quartz contains two types of aqueous fluid inclusion assemblages
(FIA). Type 1 is a low-salinity (≤3 wt.% equivalent NaCl) with minor CO2 (≤2 mol%) and has T
h = 280–340°C. In contrast, type 2 is a high-salinity (20–25 wt.% equivalent NaCl), Ca-rich fluid with T
h = 160–200°C. Pressure-corrected fluid inclusion data reflect expulsion of a magmatic fluid near the granite solidus (650°C)
that cooled and mixed with a lower temperature (400°C), wall rock equilibrated, Ca-rich fluid. Evidence for fluid unmixing,
an important process in some intrusion-related gold deposit settings, is lacking. Stable isotopic (O, D, S) analyses for quartz,
muscovite and arsenopyrite samples from vein and greisens indicate the following: (1) δ18Oqtz = +11.7‰ to 17.8‰ and δ18Omusc = +10.7‰ to +11.2‰; (2) δDmusc = −44‰ to−54‰; and (3) δ34Saspy = +7.8‰ to +10.3‰. These data are interpreted, in conjunction with fluid inclusion data, to reflect contamination of a magmatic-derived
fluid (d18OH2O {\delta^{{{18}}}}{{\hbox{O}}_{{{{\rm{H}}_{{2}}}{\rm{O}}}}} ≤ +10‰) by an external fluid (d18OH2O {\delta^{{{18}}}}{{\hbox{O}}_{{{{\rm{H}}_{{2}}}{\rm{O}}}}} ≥ +15‰), the latter having equilibrated with the surrounding metasedimentary rocks. The δ34S data are inconsistent with a direct igneous source based on other studies for the host intrusion (d18OH2O {\delta^{{{18}}}}{{\hbox{O}}_{{{{\rm{H}}_{{2}}}{\rm{O}}}}} = +5‰) and are, instead, consistent with an external reservoir for sulphur based on δ34SH2S data for the surrounding metasedimentary rocks. Divergent fluid reservoirs are also supported by analyses of Pb isotopes
for pegmatitic K-feldspar and vein arsenopyrite. Collectively the data indicate that the vein- and greisen-forming fluids
had a complex origin and reflect both magmatic and non-magmatic reservoirs. Thus, although the geological setting suggests
a magmatic origin, the geochemical data indicate involvement of multiple reservoirs. These results suggest multiple reservoirs
for this intrusion-related gold deposit setting and caution against interpreting the genesis of intrusion-related gold deposit
mineralization in somewhat analogous settings based on a limited geochemical data set. 相似文献

The Crusader Complex, part of the Agnew gold camp of the Lawlers Anticline of the Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, is located close to or along the contact between the Lawlers Basalt and Agnew Ultramafics units. Au mineralization within the four orebodies that form the Crusader Complex is dominated by very pure Au, containing less than 1 wt.% Ag, with Au variably associated with scheelite, Bi-tellurides and minor chalcopyrite within a magnetite and titanite gangue assemblage. Hydrothermal alteration associated with this style of mineralization is characterized by increasing concentrations of Mo, Be, Li, Sn and Fe and depletions in Na, Cu, Ba, Pb, Mn, Zn, Si, and K relative to protolith concentrations; these enrichments are more typical in orebodies associated with felsic intrusive-related mineralizing systems rather than the more well-known orogenic Au deposits found elsewhere within the Lawlers Anticline (e.g. at Waroonga) and within the greater Yilgarn Craton.We propose that flexures of the contact between the Lawlers Basalt and Agnew Ultramafic units acted as conduits for Au-bearing felsic intrusive-derived fluids and generated structural traps that enhanced fluid flow. The mineralizing fluids that formed the Crusader deposits were derived from the Lawlers granitoid pluton that intruded into the study area. Enhanced fluid flow promoted interaction between hydrothermal fluids and the reactive mafic–ultramafic rock sequence, augmenting the amount of Au that was precipitated during formation of the orebodies at Crusader. The magnetite-dominated quartz- and sulfide-poor intrusion-related mineralization at Crusader contrasts sharply with other late Archean intrusion-related deposits of the Yilgarn Craton that are usually sulfide- and/or quartz-rich. This may in turn suggest that the Crusader deposit represents a new class of under-explored intrusion-derived deposits, possibly opening new mineral exploration opportunities for the Agnew region, and potentially the wider Eastern Goldfields Superterrane. Enrichments in Mo and Sn and significant depletions in Cu suggest that other parts of the Lawlers batholith may also be prospective for base metal mineralization.Integration of stratigraphic interpretation with the identification of key structural fluid pathways and the presence of felsic intrusive bodies, as presented in this study, enables the delineation of the key elements that underlie mineralization at the Crusader Complex. We propose that these key elements provide vital information for future gold exploration models that can be used within other Archean terranes and within the Eastern Yilgarn Craton in particular. 相似文献

Himalayan magmatism and porphyry copper–molybdenum mineralization in the Yulong ore belt, East Tibet
Summary ?The NW–SE-trending Yulong porphyry Cu–Mo ore belt, situated in the Sanjiang0 area of eastern Tibet, is approximately 400 km
long and 35 to 70 km wide. Complex tectonic and magmatic processes during the Himalayan epoch have given rise to favorable
conditions for porphyry-type Cu–Mo mineralization.
Porphyry masses of the Himalayan epoch in the Yulong ore belt are distributed in groups along regional NW–SE striking tectonic
lineaments. They were emplaced mainly into Triassic and Lower Permian sedimentary-volcanic rocks. K–Ar und U–Pb isotopic datings
give an intrusion age range of 57–26 Ma. The porphyries are mainly of biotite monzogranitic and biotite syenogranitic compositions.
Geological and geochemical data indicate that the various porphyritic intrusions in the belt had a common or similar magma
source, are metaluminous to peraluminous, Nb–Y–Ba-depleted, I-type granitoids, and belong to the high-K calc-alkaline series.
Within the Yulong subvolcanic belt a number of porphyry stocks bear typical porphyry type Cu–Mo alteration and mineralization.
The most prominent porphyry Co–Mo deposits include Yulong, Malasongduo, Duoxiasongduo, Mangzong and Zhanaga, of which Yulong
is one of the largest porphyry Cu (Mo) deposits in China with approximately 8 × 106 tons of contained Cu metal. Hydrothermal alteration at Yulong developed around a biotite–monzogranitic porphyry stock that
was emplaced within Upper Triassic limestone, siltstone and mudstone. The earliest alteration was due to the effects of contact
metamorphism of the country rocks and alkali metasomatism (potassic alteration) within and around the porphyry body. The alteration
of this stage was accompanied by a small amount of disseminated and veinlet Cu–Mo sulfide mineralization. Later alteration–mineralization
zones form more or less concentric shells around the potassic zone, around which are distributed a phyllic or quartz–sericite–pyrite
zone, a silicification and argillic zone, and a propylitic zone.
Fluid inclusion data indicate that three types of fluids were involved in the alteration–mineralization processes: (1) early
high temperature (660–420 °C) and high salinity (30–51 wt% NaCl equiv) fluids responsible for the potassic alteration and
the earliest disseminated and/or veinlet Cu–Mo sulfide mineralization; (2) intermediate unmixed fluids corresponding to phyllic
alteration and most Cu–Mo sulfide mineralization, with salinities of 30–50 wt% NaCl equiv and homogenization temperatures
of 460–280 °C; and (3) late low to moderate temperature (300–160 °C) and low salinity (6–13 wt% NaCl equiv) fluids responsible
for argillic and propylitic alteration. Hydrogen and oxygen isotopic studies show that the early hydrothermal fluids are of
magmatic origin and were succeeded by increasing amounts of meteoric-derived convective waters. Sulfur isotopes also indicate
a magmatic source for the sulfur in the early sulfide mineralization, with the increasing addition of sedimentary sulfur outward
from the porphyry stock.

The most important tin mineralization in Thailand is associated with the Late Cretaceous to Middle Tertiary western Thai granite
belt. A variety of deposit types are present, in particular pegmatite, vein and greisen styles of mineralization. A feature
common to most of the deposits is that they are associated with granites that were emplaced into the Khang Krachan Group,
which consists of poorly sorted, carbonaceous, pelitic metasediments. Most of the deposits contain low to moderately saline
aqueous fluid inclusions and aqueous-carbonic inclusions with variable CH4/CO2 ratios. Low salinity aqueous inclusions represent trapped magmatic fluid in at least one case, the Nong Sua pegmatite, based
on their occurrence as primary inclusions in magmatic garnet. Aqueous-carbonic inclusions are commonly secondary and neither
the CO2 nor NaCl contents of these inclusions decrease in progressively younger inclusions, implying that they are not magmatic in
origin. Reduced carbon is depleted in the metasediments adjacent to granites and the δD values greisen muscovites are variable,
but are as low as −134 per mil, indicative of fluid interaction with organic (graphitic) material. This suggests that the
aqueous-carbonic fluid inclusions represent fluids that were produced, at least in part, during contact metamorphism-metasomatism.
By comparing the western Thai belt with other Sn-W provinces it is evident that there is a strong correlation between fluid
composition and pressure in general. Low to moderately saline aqueous inclusions and aqueous-carbonic inclusions are characteristic
of mineralization associated with relatively deep plutonic belts. Mineralized pegmatites are also typically of deeper plutonic
belts, and pegmatite-hosted deposits may contain cassiterite that is magmatic (crystallized from granitic melt) or is orthomagmatic-hydrothermal
(crystallized from aqueous or aqueous-carbonic fluids) in origin. The magmatic aqueous fluids (those that were exsolved from
granitic melts) are interpreted to have had low salinities. As a consequence of the low salinities, tin is partitioned in
favour of the melt on vapour saturation. Thus with a high enough degree of fractionation, the crystallization of a magmatic
cassiterite (or different Sn phase such as wodginite) is inevitable. Because tin is not partitioned in favour of the vapour
phase upon water saturation of the granitic melts, it is proposed that relatively deep vein and greisen systems tend to form
by remobilization processes. In addition, many deeper greisen systems are hosted, in part, by carbonaceous pelitic metasediments
and the reduced nature of the metasediments may play a key role in remobilizing tin. Sub-volcanic systems by contrast are
characterized by high temperature-high salinity fluids. Owing to the high chlorinity, tin is strongly partitioned in favour
of the vapour and cassiterite mineralization can form by of orthomagmatic-hydrothermal processes. Similar relationships between
the depth of emplacement and fluid composition also appear to apply to other types of granite-hosted deposits, such as different
types of molybdenum deposits.

Primary gold deposits in Burkina Faso occur in Paleoproterozoic Birimian belt formations (2.0 Ga). Mineralization was synchronous with regional metamorphism and deformation, and is either hosted within, or is adjacent to, quartz-bearing veins. These are classical characteristics of epigenetic gold deposits in Precambrian metamorphic terranes and permit to classify the mineralized sites from Burkina Faso as orogenic-type gold deposits. A review of data collected over the past decade by our team permits to recognize two main styles of gold mineralization: (1) Quartz-vein hosted; this style occurs in all lithologies, the veins are deformed and gold is principally concentrated within the veins, associated with either sulfides or tourmaline. (2) Disseminated; this style occurs exclusively in albitites (and to a lesser extent listvenites) with gold occurring mainly within alteration halos of generally undeformed quartz-albite-carbonate vein. Quartz-vein and disseminated styles of mineralization can be associated within the same deposit. Albitites and listvenites are alteration products of mainly calc-alkaline igneous rocks of felsic to ultramafic composition, respectively. The predominant alteration assemblage consists of chlorite, albite, carbonate, and pyrite. Sulfides occur as fine masses commonly in the alteration halos close to vein margins and consist mainly of pyrite and arsenopyrite, depending on host-rock composition. Gold occurs as free native metal and, locally, in form of tellurides, in fissures or as inclusions within pyrite and arsenopyrite. Two main populations of fluid inclusions are associated with the gold deposits, independently of the mineralization style: (1) carbonic inclusions consisting of up to 90 mol% CO2 (plus N2 and CH4) and (2) aqueous-carbonic fluid inclusions with moderate salinities. Interestingly, the disseminated gold style deposits of Burkina Faso, which have the highest economic potential, show strong similarities with the world-class Ashanti deposit, in neighboring Ghana. 相似文献

The Dublin Gulch intrusion-hosted gold deposit, Tombstone plutonic suite, Yukon Territory, Canada 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The Dublin Gulch intrusion is a member of the Tombstone plutonic suite, a linear belt of middle Cretaceous intrusions that extend across the Yukon Territory. Like many of the intrusions in this suite, the Dublin Gulch intrusion is associated with several different zones of gold and tungsten mineralization, within and immediately adjacent to the intrusion. The Eagle zone (50.3 Mt @ 0.93 g/t gold), located in the southwestern part of the Dublin Gulch intrusion, hosts the most significant concentration of gold in the area. The gold occurs in a broadly east-west-striking, steeply south-dipping series of sheeted veins. The veins consist of early quartz-scheelite-pyrrhotite-pyrite-arsenopyrite, and are associated with K-feldspar-albite alteration envelopes. These grade out to and are overprinted by sericite-carbonate-chlorite alteration. The same assemblage also occurs in veinlets that refracture sheeted quartz veins and contain the majority of the gold. The gold occurs with molybdenite, lead-bismuth-antimony sulfosalts, galena, and bismuthinite. Gold correlates strongly with bismuth (r2=0.9), a relationship common to several intrusion-related gold deposits, but has a poor correlation with all other elements. Tungsten and molybdenum have a weak inter-element correlation (r2=0.55) and paragenetically pre-date the majority of gold precipitation. Lead, zinc, copper, silver, antimony, and arsenic have moderate to strong inter-element correlations (0.58 to 0.93). The change from tungsten-bearing mineralization through to gold-bismuth-rich ores with elevated syn- to post-ore lead, zinc, copper, silver, antimony, and arsenic can be grossly correlated with a change in hydrothermal fluid composition. Early scheelite-bearing quartz contains primary CO2-rich fluid inclusions, which are post-dated by secondary inclusions with higher salinities (up to 15 wt% NaCl equiv.) and less CO2. These latter inclusions are interpreted to coincide with the later gold-bismuth and base metal mineralization. The favored genetic model is one in which early CO2-rich fluids exsolved from a magma with an initially high CO2 content, but progressively became more saline and H2O-rich as the system evolved. 相似文献

The Timbarra gold deposits, located in the southern New England Fold Belt of New South Wales, Australia, represent an economically significant and distinctive member of the intrusion-related class of gold deposits. The five known deposits possess a total identified mineral resource of 16.8 Mt at 0.73 g/t gold, for a total of 396,800 contained ounces. The granites in the Timbarra region form a texturally complex, zoned pluton. The gold deposits are found within the Stanthorpe leucomonzogranite (242 to 238 Ma), which intrudes and forms a core to the more mafic, barren, Bungulla monzogranite (248 to 243 Ma). Gold is disseminated in the roof zone (upper 240 m) of a fractionated, magnetite- and ilmenite-bearing, I-type leucomonzogranite phase of the Stanthorpe body. The entire gold resource occurs in the areally extensive main leucomonzogranite pluton and is hosted by a medium- to coarse-grained granite. Disseminated ore is present in all five deposits, comprises >95% of the overall resource at Timbarra, and occurs predominantly as gently dipping, tabular to lenticular bodies that are conformably constrained beneath a fine-grained aplite carapace and internal aplite layers. The disseminated ore consists of gold-bearing muscovite-chlorite-carbonate alteration and infill of primary miarolitic cavities within massive leucomonzogranite or microgranite, and contains no discernable vein, joint, or fracture control at the outcrop or hand specimen scale. Structurally controlled mineralization forms the remaining 5% of the Timbarra resource, and comprises minor, low-density (0.02 to 0.25 per meter), vein-dikes and quartz-molybdenite veins emplaced along steeply dipping east-southeast, east-northeast, and north-northeast striking cooling joints. Both mineralization styles and alteration share a common paragenetic sequence of mineral precipitation. Quartz, perthitic K-feldspar, minor biotite, and albite are the earliest and most abundant infill minerals and commonly line primary cavities and vein-dikes. Subsequent minerals include coeval arsenopyrite, pyrite, fluorite, and molybdenite. The latest minerals include muscovite, chlorite, gold, calcite, silver-bismuth telluride, lead-bismuth telluride, and rare galena and chalcopyrite. The gold ore has a low total sulfide mineral concentration (Б%). Ore contains elevated concentrations of Bi, Ag, Te, As, Mo, and Sb; gold is strongly correlated with Bi, Ag, and Te, but only weakly with Mo, As, and Sb. Gold grains are generally <1 to 50 µm in size, but rarer grains as large as 1 mm in diameter have been observed. Gold fineness ranges from 950 to 600, and varies both within and between individual grains for a given deposit. The moderately oxidized I-type host granite, low-sulfide (Б%) ores, Au-Bi-Ag-Te geochemical signature, muscovite-chlorite-carbonate alteration assemblage, and low-salinity aqueous and carbonic fluids suggest that Timbarra is part of the newly recognized intrusion-related gold deposit class. Timbarra is distinguished from other intrusion-related gold deposits by the disseminated mineralization style within pervasively altered granite, forming gently dipping, tabular to lenticular ore zones. 相似文献

The 7 million oz. Jundee–Nimary lode-gold deposit occurs in the northern portion of the Yandal greenstone belt in the northeastern
part of the Archean Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. Gold mineralization at Jundee–Nimary is similar in structural style,
mineralogy, geochemistry and relative timing with respect to deformation and metamorphism, to other Western Australian Archean
greenstone-hosted gold deposits, but is unusual in the fact that mineralized structures are crosscut by structurally late
intermediate to felsic dykes. Within the Deakin South open cut, gold mineralization is hosted in brittle–ductile shear zones
primarily developed within the dacitic Mitchell Porphyry. The Moore Porphyry, a broad dyke of porphyritic granodiorite, intrudes
the Mitchell Porphyry, crosscutting and post-dating gold mineralization. Analytically indistinguishable SHRIMP U–Pb zircon
ages of 2678 ± 5 Ma for the Mitchell Porphyry and 2669 ± 7 Ma for the Moore Porphyry require that gold mineralization at Jundee–Nimary
occurred at ca. 2680–2660 Ma, approximately 40 million years earlier than the majority of published robust ages for gold mineralization
in the Yilgarn Craton, which mostly overlap at ca. 2640–2630 Ma. The close spatial and temporal relationship between gold
mineralization and felsic to intermediate magmatism at Jundee–Nimary also raises the possibility of a genetic link between
hydrothermal and igneous activity. However, additional work is required to establish a firm connection. Current research on
lode-gold mineralization in Archean, Paleozoic and Phanerozoic terranes suggests a model which postulates that these deposits
formed during transpressional to compressional deformation in accretionary and collisional orogens and that their formation
is intimately related to orogenic processes. Consequently, mineralization and regional metamorphism are expected to be diachronous,
as terranes are accreted and the front of orogenesis migrates. Consideration of the new data presented in this paper in conjunction
with previously published dates supports the hypothesis that gold mineralization, along with regional metamorphism, was generally
diachronous from northeast to southwest across the Yilgarn Craton, over a period of approximately 40 million years from ca.
2680–2660 Ma to ca. 2640–2630 Ma. This is directly analogous to the accepted model for the timing of orogenic lode-gold mineralization
in other provinces and therefore provides further support for a unified model for this style of deposit through geological
time.

The Géant Dormant gold mine is a sulfide-rich quartz vein gold deposit hosted by a volcano-sedimentary sequence and an associated
felsic endogenous dome and dikes. The auriferous quartz-sulfide veins were preceded by two synvolcanic gold-bearing mineralizing
events: early sulfidic seafloor-related and later disseminated pyrite in the felsic dome. This deposit differs from classical
Archean auriferous quartz vein deposits by the low carbonate and high sulfide contents of the veins and by their formation
prior to ductile penetrative deformation. The δ18O values of quartz associated with seafloor-related auriferous sulfides average 11.9 ± 0.6‰ (n = 3). The seafloor hydrothermal fluids had a δ18O value of 3.2‰ calculated at 250 °C. The oxygen isotope composition of quartz and chlorite from veins average 12.5 ± 0.3‰
(n = 20) and 5.9 ± 1.1‰ (n = 4) respectively. Assuming oxygen isotope equilibrium between quartz and chlorite, the veins formed at a temperature of
∼275 °C, which is consistent with the calculated temperature of 269 ± 10 °C from chlorite chemistry. The gold-bearing fluids
had a δ18O value of 4.7‰ calculated at 275 °C. The δ34S values of sulfides from the three gold events range from 0.6 to 2.8‰ (n = 32) and are close to magmatic values. Sulfur isotope geothermometry constrains the sulfide precipitation in the gold-bearing
veins at a temperature of ∼350 °C. The similarity of the isotope data, the calculated δ18O of the mineralizing fluids and the likely seawater fluid source suggest that the three mineralizing events are genetically
related to a volcanogenic hydrothermal system. The high value of the auriferous fluids (δ18O = 4.7‰) is attributed to a significant magmatic fluid contribution to the evolved seawater-dominated convective hydrothermal
system. The two-stage filling of veins at increasing temperature from quartz-chlorite (275 °C) to sulfides (350 °C) may reflect
the progressive maturation of volcanogenic hydrothermal systems. These results, together with field and geochemical data,
suggest that formation of gold-rich volcanogenic systems require specific conditions that comprise a magmatic fluid contribution
and gold from arc-related felsic rocks, coeval with the mineralizing events. This study shows that some auriferous quartz-vein
orebodies in Archean terranes are formed in volcanogenic rather than mesothermal systems.

The Wasamac deposit is an example of Archean greenstone-hosted gold deposit located in the Abitibi Belt, 15 km southwest of Rouyn-Noranda. The deposit is hosted by a second-order ductile shear zone of the Cadillac–Larder Lake Fault Zone (CLLFZ), known as the Francoeur-Wasa Shear Zone (FWSZ). It regionally sits at the boundary between the orogenic gold district of Noranda and the Kirkland Lake gold district dominated by intrusion-related gold systems. This specific location in-between two different gold mineralization environments sets the Wasamac deposit apart as a prime candidate for investigating hydrothermal processes along the CLLFZ. Within the Wasamac deposit, gold distribution is constrained to the altered mylonitized portion of the FWSZ; lode systems are absent. Hydrothermal alteration and associated disseminated mineralization occurs as a replacement of the Blake River Group metavolcanic units. The hydrothermal signature displays two distinct alkaline alteration assemblages: potassic and albitic, each associated with specific gold characteristics. (1) Potassic alteration is characterized by the crystallization of microcline, carbonates and quartz. Within this assemblage gold is associated with porous pyrite enriched in Te-Ag-Au-Mo-Pb-Bi-W, deposited under oxidizing conditions. Such characteristics are widely described in the Kirkland Lake area, and are found in examples of syenite-related mineralization, such as the Beattie and Malartic gold deposits. (2) The albitic alteration assemblage, composed of albite, sericite and carbonates, reflects more reduced hydrothermal conditions with mineralization characterized by free native gold. This hydrothermal event is coeval with the brecciation of early gold-rich pyrite reflecting a structural overprint that controlled late-stage gold characteristics. These alteration and structural features are common in orogenic gold deposits both worldwide and regionally, particularly at the neighbouring Kerr-Addison and Francoeur deposits, and in lode-gold systems such as in the Sigma-Lamaque deposit.The gold mineralization at Wasamac has similar characteristics to both intrusion-related gold systems and structurally controlled orogenic gold deposits. Hydrothermal and structural crosscutting relationships at Wasamac indicate that a structurally controlled hydrothermal event overprinted earlier potassic magmatic-hydrothermal alteration. This observation supports a multistage process of gold concentration during which new gold characteristics, metal anomalies, fluid conditions and alteration assemblages replaced earlier stages of gold enrichment, in places completely obliterating previous signatures. We propose that the Wasamac deposit was originally related to an alkaline intrusion buried at depth beneath the Francoeur-Wasa Shear Zone. 相似文献

Sedimentary rock-hosted gold mineralization at Zalaa Uul, Khentii Range, northeastern Mongolia 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
The recently discovered Zalaa Uul occurrence exhibits gold concentrations averaging about 1 ppm in silicified breccias as
wide as 100 m. Most mineralization is hosted in brecciated siltstone, shale, and calcareous sandstone of the Permian Ulz Formation
that exhibits multiple stages of silicification. Rock geochemistry indicates: (1) gold is strongly associated with arsenic
and silver; (2) antimony, tellurium and thallium are locally anomalous but poorly correlated with gold; (3) mercury is spatially
correlated with copper; and (4) Ag:Au ratios are low (≤3). A low-level Cu–(Hg + Sb, ±Au + As) anomaly occurs over an hypothesized
feeder breccia. The feeder breccia occupies a major northwest-dipping reverse fault zone between dominantly greenschist-facies
phyllite and schist of the Upper Proterozoic Toshint Formation and unmetamorphosed marine clastic rocks of the permian Ulz
Formation. Ground magnetometer surveys identified a magnetic body, thought to represent part of an intrusive complex at depth,
within the reverse fault zone, down-plunge from the ∼70° northwest-dipping feeder breccia. Altered rhyolite dikes crop out
in the vicinity of the feeder breccia. The potentially economic gold grades are 2 to 3 km outboard of the feeder breccia and
may represent the distal Au + As zone of an intrusion-related mineralizing system. Alteration, regional structural and geophysical
setting, host rocks and trace element geochemistry, and finely disseminated nature of gold particles are similar to Carlin-type
gold systems in the Great Basin of the western USA, but local geology, magnetically mapped intrusive bodies, and trace element
zonation suggest affinity with some intrusion-related gold systems.

We compare melting of potassic alteration zones in metamorphosed gold deposits with that of unaltered rocks of the same protolith
to examine their relative contributions to crust-derived magmas and to investigate the implications for ore genesis. Potassic
hydrothermal alteration, at the crustal levels where orogenic gold deposits form, stabilizes a higher proportion of muscovite
and biotite than is possible in unaltered rocks at high metamorphic grades. Because these micas contain water, they control
the melt fraction generated through dehydration melting in that a greater proportion of micas permits more extensive melting.
Orogenic gold deposits, in which mineralization is typically encapsulated by potassic alteration, form at deep-enough crustal
levels to survive repeated tectonic activity, which can lead to their being metamorphosed. In the vicinity of this metamorphosed
gold mineralization, the greatest proportion of felsic melt is generated in the more metal- and sulfur-rich rocks because
of the associated potassic alteration. Ore minerals dissolve and are physically incorporated into the resulting felsic melt,
which thereby becomes metal- and sulfur-enriched. Since melt fraction is the dominant control on strain partitioning and melt
mobilization, increased melting in K-altered mineralized rocks implies that these sites will be the first to experience melt
escape and will continue to be the focus of melt escape during ongoing metamorphism. This strain partitioning promotes shear
zone development, and once shearing is localized to K-altered mineralized domains, it may attract external magma, allowing
extension and linking with nearby active shear zones. In this way, mineralized zones may connect to a regional network of
magma transfer, allowing metal enrichment of migrating magmas. Terrains that underwent widespread K alteration associated
with mid-crustal gold enrichment are likely, when metamorphosed, to produce significant volumes of reduced, relatively metal-
and sulfur-enriched felsic magma. The ages and relative tectonic preservation potential of different K alteration-associated
ore types implies that Au, Ag, As, Sb, Bi, Te, and W may be recycled within the crust through this mechanism, whereas Cu and
Mo are unlikely to be recycled and require mantle sourcing to form new intrusion-related ores. Silicate melt derived from
preexisting zones of gold enrichment in the lower crust may contribute significantly to the metal budget of intrusion-related
gold systems, and possibly some gold-rich porphyry deposits. 相似文献

The Southwest prospect is located at the southwestern periphery of the Sto. Tomas II porphyry copper–gold deposit in the Baguio District, northwestern Luzon, Philippines. The Southwest prospect hosts a copper‐gold mineralization related to a complex of porphyry intrusions, breccia facies, and overlapping porphyry‐type veinlets emplaced within the basement Pugo metavolcanics rocks and conglomerates of the Zigzag Formation. The occurrences of porphyry‐type veinlets and potassic alteration hosted in the complex are thought to be indications of the presence of blind porphyry deposits within the Sto. Tomas II vicinity. The complex is composed of at least four broadly mineralogically similar dioritic intrusive rocks that vary in texture and alteration type and intensity. These intrusions were accompanied with at least five breccia facies that were formed by the explosive brecciation, induced by the magmatic–hydrothermal processes and phreatomagmatic activities during the emplacement of the various intrusions. Hydrothermal alteration assemblages consisting of potassic, chlorite–magnetite, propylitic and sericite–chlorite alteration, and contemporaneous veinlet types were developed on the host rocks. Elevated copper and gold grades correspond to (a) chalcopyrite–bornite assemblage in the potassic alteration in the syn‐mineralization early‐mineralization diorite (EMD) and contemporaneous veinlets and (b) chalcopyrite‐rich mineralization associated with the chalcopyrite–magnetite–chlorite–actinolite±sericite veinlets contemporaneous with the chlorite–magnetite alteration. Erratic remarkable concentrations of gold were also present in the late‐mineralization Late Diorite (LD). High XMg of calcic amphiboles (>0.60) in the intrusive rocks indicate that the magmas have been oxidizing since the early stages of crystallization, while a gap in the composition of Al between the rim and the cores of the calcic amphiboles in the EMD and LD indicate decompression at some point during the crystallization of these intrusive rocks. Fluid inclusion microthermometry suggests the trapping of immiscible fluids that formed the potassic alteration, associated ore mineralization, and sheeted quartz veinlets. The corresponding formation conditions of the shallower and deeper quartz veinlets were estimated at pressures of 50 and 30 MPa and temperatures of 554 and 436°C at depths of 1.9 and 1.1 km. Temperature data from the chlorite indicate that the chalcopyrite‐rich mineralization associated with the chlorite–magnetite alteration was formed at a much lower temperature (ca. 290°C) than the potassic alteration. Evidence from the vein offsetting matrix suggests multiple intrusions within the EMD, despite the K‐Ar ages of the potassic alteration in EMD and hornblende in the LD of about the same age at 3.5 ± 0.3 Ma. The K‐Ar age of the potassic alteration was likely to be thermally reset as a result of the overprinting hydrothermal alteration. The constrained K‐Ar ages also indicate earlier formed intrusive rocks in the Southwest prospect, possibly coeval to the earliest “dark diorite” intrusion in the Sto. Tomas II deposit. In addition, the range of δ34S of sulfide minerals from +1.8‰ to +5.1‰ in the Southwest prospect closely overlaps with the rest of the porphyry copper and epithermal deposits in the Sto. Tomas II deposit and its vicinity. This indicates that the sulfides may have formed from a homogeneous source of the porphyry copper deposits and epithermal deposits in the Sto. Tomas II orebody and its vicinity. The evidence presented in this work proves that the porphyry copper‐type veinlets and the adjacent potassic alteration in the Southwest prospect are formed earlier and at a shallower level in contrast with the other porphyry deposits in the Baguio District. 相似文献

Geology and geochemistry of telluride-bearing Au deposits in the Pingyi area, Western Shandong, China 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Summary Telluride-bearing gold deposits of the Pingyi area, western Shandong, China, are located on the southeastern margin of the
North China Craton. There are two main types of deposits: (i) mineralized cryptoexplosive breccia, e.g., Guilaizhuang; and
(ii) stratified, finely-disseminated mineralization hosted in carbonate rocks, e.g., Lifanggou and Mofanggou deposits. In
Guilaizhuang, the cryptoexplosive breccia is formed within rocks of the Tongshi complex and Ordovician dolomite. The mineralization
is controlled by an E–W-trending listric fault. Stratified orebodies of the Lifanggou and Mofanggou deposits are placed along
a NE-trending, secondary detachment zone. They are hosted within dolomitic limestone, micrite and dolomite of the Early-Middle
Cambrian Changqing Group. The mineralization in the ore districts is considered to be related to the Early Jurassic Tongshi
magmatic complex that formed in a continental arc setting on the margin of the North China Craton. The host rocks are porphyritic
and consist predominantly of medium- to fine-grained diorite and pyroxene (hornblende)-bearing monzonite. SHRIMP U–Pb zircon
dating of diorites give a 206Pb/238U weighted mean age of 175.7 ± 3.8 Ma. This is interpreted as representing the crystallization age of the Tongshi magmatic
complex. Considering the contact relationships between the magmatic and host sedimentary rocks, as well as the genetic link
with the deposits, we conclude that this age is relevant also for the formation of mineralization in the Pingyi area. We hence
consider that the deposits formed in the Jurassic. The principal gold minerals are native gold, electrum and calaverite. Wall-rock
alteration comprises pyritization, fluoritization, silicification, carbonatization and chloritization. Fluid inclusion studies
indicate that all the analyzed inclusions are of two-phase vapor–liquid NaCl–H2O type. Homogenization temperatures of the fluid inclusions vary from 103 °C to 250 °C, and the ice melting temperatures range
from −2.5 °C to −13.5 °C, corresponding to a salinity range of 4.65 to 17.26 wt.% NaCl equiv. The δ34S values of pyrite associated with gold mineralization exhibit a narrow range of −0.71 to + 2.99‰, implying that the sulfur
was probably derived from the mantle and/or dioritic magma. The δ13CPDB values of the fluid inclusions in calcite range from −7.3 to 0.0‰. The δ18OSMOW values of vein quartz and calcite range from 11.5 to 21.5‰, corresponding to δ18Ofluid values of −1.1 to 10.9‰; δD values of the fluid inclusions vary between −70 and −48‰. The isotope data for all three deposits
suggest mixing of ore-forming fluids derived from the mantle and/or magma with different types of fluids at shallow levels.
Pressure release and boiling of the fluids, as well as fluid-rock interaction (Lifanggou and Mofanggou) and mixing of magmatically-derived
fluids with meteoritic waters (Guilaizhuang) played an important role in the ore-forming processes. 相似文献

In the Mazowe area some 40 km NW of Harare in Zimbabwe, gold mineralization is hosted in a variety of lithologies of the
Archean Harare-Bindura-Shamva greenstone belt, in structures related to the late Archean regional D2/3 event. Conspicuous
mineralzogical differences exist between the mines; the mainly granodiorite-hosted workings at Mazowe mine are on pyrite-rich
reefs, mines of the Bernheim group have metabasalt host rocks and are characterized by arsenopyrite-rich ores, and Stori's
Golden Shaft and Alice mine, both in metabasalts, work sulfide-poor quartz veins. In contrast to the mineralogical diversity,
near-identical fluid inventories were found at the different mines. Both H2O-CO2-CH4 fluids of low salinity, and highly saline fluids are present and are regarded to indicate fluid mixing during the formation
of the deposits. Notably, these fluid compositions in the Mazowe gold field markedly contrast to ore fluids “typical” of Archean
mesothermal gold deposits on other cratons. Stable isotope compositions of quartz from the various deposits (δ18O=10.8 to 13.2‰ SMOW), calcite (δ18O=9.5 to 11.9‰ SMOW and δ13C=−3.2 to −8.0‰ PDB), inclusion water (δD=−28 to −40‰ SMOW) and sulfides (δ34S=1.3 to 3.2‰ CDT) are uniform within the range typical for Archean lode gold deposits worldwide. The fluid and stable isotope
compositions support the statement that the mineralization in the Mazowe gold field formed from relatively reduced fluids
with a “metamorphic” signature during a single event of gold mineralization. Microthermometric data further indicate that
the deposits formed in the PT range of 1.65–2.3 kbar and 250–380 °C. Ages obtained by using the Sm/Nd and Rb/Sr isotope systems on scheelites are 2604 ± 84 Ma
for the mineralization at Stori's Golden Shaft mine, and 2.40 ± 0.20 Ga for Mazowe mine. The Archean age at Stori's is regarded
as close to the true age of gold mineralization in the area, whereas the Proterozoic age at Mazowe mine probably reflects
later resetting.
