New data on the correlation of skarn and gold mineralization at the Tardan deposit (northeastern Tuva)     

I.V. Gas&#x;kov 《Russian Geology and Geophysics》2008,49(12):923-931

Gold mineralization of the Tardan deposit is of different spatial occurrences and is related to different hydrothermal-metasomatic formations, the main ones being skarn-magnetite bodies, metasomatites of mineralized crush zones, and metasomatites of argillizitic-rock association. The formation of gold mineralization was a multistage process related to the repeated magmatism of the Tannu-Ola complex. It took place in a wide temperature range (400–150 °C), which determined the diversity of produced mineral assemblages. The gold mineralization associated with magnetite bodies shows a spatial correlation with magnesian and calcareous skarns and is localized in plagiogranites and gabbro-diorites of the Tannu-Ola complex intruded in the Late Ordovician. Gold mineralization that occurs in crush zones and along the fault sutures in moderate- and low-temperature hydrothermal-metasomatic rocks (propylites, beresites, serpentinites, and argillizites) formed somewhat later than skarns as a result of the intrusion of granite dike bodies. Comparative analysis of different types of gold mineralization showed both a change of mineral assemblages of the gold mineralization during the ore formation and some geochemical difference between gold and gold-bearing ores. In passing from early to late occurrences of native gold, its fineness decreases, the contents of admixtures correspondingly increase, and the gold composition changes. Gold of high-temperature rocks is rich in Cu (up to 17%), and gold of low-temperatures rocks has higher contents of Ag and Hg.  相似文献   

云南东川因民铜矿金矿化特征及成因初探     

史文胜  曹新志  蔡志超  连永牢 《化工矿产地质》2008,30(1):23-27

因民铜矿发育两种金矿化类型:一是铜矿的伴生金;二是热液构造蚀变岩型。化探样品分析结果显示,金矿化主要赋存于金箔箐断层上、下盘的角砾状蚀变岩内,空间上受岩性和断裂构造的双重控制。邻区拖布卡金矿的成矿地质背景与本区相似,在成矿地质年代上作以类比推测,认为喜马拉雅期是主成矿期。另外通过对光片镜下和化探原生晕样聚类分析研究,发现构造蚀变岩型金矿化具明显的多期多阶段性及热液特征。  相似文献

华南重要金属矿床的成矿规律——时代爆发性、空间分带性、基底继承性和热隆起成矿   总被引：5，自引：1，他引：4  

马东升 《矿物岩石地球化学通报》2008,27(3)

华南热液矿床形成的时代爆发性、空间分带性及其成矿元素对前寒武纪基底的继承性表明,构成华南基底和含矿建造的前寒武纪地层（主要为元古界）是华南陆内热液成矿作用的主要成矿物质来源,燕山期花岗岩类是热液成矿作用的主要成矿能量来源;华南热液成矿的区域分布趋势、矿床形成过程和成矿岩体演化等,均表现出与构造热隆起动态有关的成矿特征。多期花岗岩类侵入和迅速块断隆升造成地温梯度增高,基底含矿建造提供成矿物质,以及有利的热液通道和扩容空间是造成构造隆起带或盆地“凹中隆”成矿的重要条件。燕山期花岗岩成岩成矿与大陆地壳的多旋回熔融或再循环有密切的成因关系;地震层析图像资料显示,华南中生代软流圈上涌是造成华南陆壳热隆起的动力学因素。但其成因不同于地幔柱机制,具有被动上涌特征,可能与太平洋板块俯冲形成的大型冷幔柱下沉和地幔过渡带崩溃有关。  相似文献

笔者总结了敖包吐萤石矿床的地质特征,并通过萤石的稀土元素的地球化学和Nd同位素研究,探讨了该矿床的成矿作用和成矿物质来源。敖包吐萤石矿床产出于下二叠统大石寨组火山—沉积岩与燕山中期花岗岩的接触带,为单一萤石矿床。萤石矿石的稀土元素的含量(∑REE)变化范围为(8.04～30.04)×10-6,平均为19.42×10-6;轻重稀土LREE/HREE值0.24～0.65,平均0.52;LaN/YbN为0.07～0.62,平均0.26;δEu为0.42～0.90,平均0.60,具Eu负异常和明显重稀土富集的特征。岩矿石的Nd同位素研究表明,萤石矿石的εNd(t)都表现为很大的负值,以成矿主期年龄138Ma计算的εNd(138Ma)为-7.30～-30.55,具有古陆壳的演化特征,暗示其成矿的物质来源主要是壳源物质。在Moller的Tb/La-Tb/Ca成因判别图解中,敖包吐矿床的萤石的结晶作用表现为重新活化的趋势,反映流体具有混源的特征,既有热液成因,又有沉积成因。二叠世的海相火山活动通过海底喷气和喷流的作用形成了初始矿源层,而燕山中期花岗岩浆的侵位与结晶分异,又对初始矿源层的活化和富集提供了流体和热能的来源。成矿流体在经历了长期的演化后在大石寨组的构造薄弱破碎的的部位沉淀析出,形成敖包吐萤石矿床。  相似文献   

Rare Earth Deposits of North America     

Stephen B. Castor 《Resource Geology》2008,58(4):337-347

Rare earth elements (REE) have been mined in North America since 1885, when placer monazite was produced in the southeast USA. Since the 1960s, however, most North American REE have come from a carbonatite deposit at Mountain Pass, California, and most of the world’s REE came from this source between 1965 and 1995. After 1998, Mountain Pass REE sales declined substantially due to competition from China and to environmental constraints. REE are presently not mined at Mountain Pass, and shipments were made from stockpiles in recent years. Chevron Mining, however, restarted extraction of selected REE at Mountain Pass in 2007. In 1987, Mountain Pass reserves were calculated at 29 Mt of ore with 8.9% rare earth oxide based on a 5% cut‐off grade. Current reserves are in excess of 20 Mt at similar grade. The ore mineral is bastnasite, and the ore has high light REE/heavy REE (LREE/HREE). The carbonatite is a moderately dipping, tabular 1.4‐Ga intrusive body associated with ultrapotassic alkaline plutons of similar age. The chemistry and ultrapotassic alkaline association of the Mountain Pass deposit suggest a different source than that of most other carbonatites. Elsewhere in the western USA, carbonatites have been proposed as possible REE sources. Large but low‐grade LREE resources are in carbonatite in Colorado and Wyoming. Carbonatite complexes in Canada contain only minor REE resources. Other types of hard‐rock REE deposits in the USA include small iron‐REE deposits in Missouri and New York, and vein deposits in Idaho. Phosphorite and fluorite deposits in the USA also contain minor REE resources. The most recently discovered REE deposit in North America is the Hoidas Lake vein deposit, Saskatchewan, a small but incompletely evaluated resource. Neogene North American placer monazite resources, both marine and continental, are small or in environmentally sensitive areas, and thus unlikely to be mined. Paleoplacer deposits also contain minor resources. Possible future uranium mining of Precambrian conglomerates in the Elliott Lake–Blind River district, Canada, could yield by‐product HREE and Y. REE deposits occur in peralkaline syenitic and granitic rocks in several places in North America. These deposits are typically enriched in HREE, Y, and Zr. Some also have associated Be, Nb, and Ta. The largest such deposits are at Thor Lake and Strange Lake in Canada. A eudialyte syenite deposit at Pajarito Mountain in New Mexico is also probably large, but of lower grade. Similar deposits occur at Kipawa Lake and Lackner Lake in Canada. Future uses of some REE commodities are expected to increase, and growth is likely for REE in new technologies. World reserves, however, are probably sufficient to meet international demand for most REE commodities well into the 21st century. Recent experience shows that Chinese producers are capable of large amounts of REE production, keeping prices low. Most refined REE prices are now at approximately 50% of the 1980s price levels, but there has been recent upward price movement for some REE compounds following Chinese restriction of exports. Because of its grade, size, and relatively simple metallurgy, the Mountain Pass deposit remains North America’s best source of LREE. The future of REE production at Mountain Pass is mostly dependent on REE price levels and on domestic REE marketing potential. The development of new REE deposits in North America is unlikely in the near future. Undeveloped deposits with the most potential are probably large, low‐grade deposits in peralkaline igneous rocks. Competition with established Chinese HREE and Y sources and a developing Australian deposit will be a factor.  相似文献
