| Abstract: | Gold deposits of the meso-epithermal carbonate type were first proposed based on the study of the Baguamiao gold deposit.
This new type of gold deposits has many unique characteristics as follows: (1) Obviously strata-bound. The gold deposits are
hosted in Middle Devonian turbidite formations; (2) Structurally controlled. Structure is an important factor leading to metallogenesis
of this type of gold deposits. The shape and distribution of orebodies are controlled by brittle-ductile shear zones; (3)
Multistage wall-rock alteration. According to the characteristics of mineral assemblage, gold mineralization can be classified
into three stages in association with various wall-rock alterations. Wall-rock alterations closely genetically related to
the gold mineralization are ankerization, silicification, pyrrhotization and pyritization; (4) Mineral compositions of the
orebodies are mainly pyrrhotite, pyrite, marcasitolite, chalcopyrite, quartz, ankerite, and sericite. Gold mineralization
is associated closely in space and time with iron sulfides; (5) Rare elements and REE in ores are low in contents relative
to those of the crust. Au content varies from 1.91g/t to 11.15g/t, averaging 5.5g/t; (6) Studies of sulfur, hydrogen, oxygen
and carbon isotopes in main gangue minerals (quartz and ankerite) indicate that fluids and ore-forming materials came from
deep-seated sources; (7) Three types of inclusions are recognized in terms of their composition and the vapor amounts of inclusions.
The homogenization temperatures of inclusions range from 210° C to 310° C, averaging 230° C, showing that this type of gold
deposits belongs to the meso-epithermal type; (8) Metallogenic age of this type of gold deposits is similar to that of the
collision between the Yangtze Plate and the North China Plate, indicating that gold deposits of this type are genetically
related to continental-margin plate activity. |
