| Abstract: | 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. |
