Evolution Sequences of Granitic Magma and Uranium Mineralization in the Nanling Region,China

Granites are widespread in the Nanling region of Chian ,which were emplaced in different tectonic environments as a result of frequent and intense magmatic activity.Two evolution sequences have been distinguished:the extrusive-hypabyssal and plut onic-hypabyssal sequences.Different mecha-nisms governing the evolution,especially the differentiation, of the two sequences may account for the different mechanisms of uranium mineralization leading to the formation of various types ura-nium deposits in the Nanling region.     

On the Genesis of Uranium Deposit 720 with Special Reference to the Double Solution—Mixing Model

Presented in this paper is an approach to the analysis of “series-stage“division.The processes of hydrothermal evolution involved in ore deposition,the factors affecting the enrichment of uranium and the source of ore forming elements in uranium deposit 720 are also discussed .In addition,the ore-forming tem-perature and pressure as well as the pH,Eh and chemical composition of ore-forming medium are studied with reference to the fluid inclusion data available.A double solution-mixing model has been proposed to explain the genesis of the uranium deposit studied.     

Sr Isotope Constraints on the Age and Source of Ore—Forming Materials of Gold Deposits,Southwestern Hunan

We have measured Rb and Sr concentrations in fluid inclusions of quartz in gold deposits, southwestern Hunan. The Rb-Sr isochron ages of 435±9Ma and 412±33Ma are respectively determined, revealing that gold mineralization in this area took place in the Caledonian period rather than in the Wuling-Xuefeng period as traditionally considered. Sr isotope geochemistry of the hydrothermal fluid indicates that the ore-forming materials are of crust origin, derived largely from the ore-hosting strata rather than from the basic dikes.     

Ore—Forming Conditions and the Process of Gold Mineralization of Wendeng Gold Deposit,Shandong—Application of Cathodo—Luminescence in Fluid Inclusion Studies

The Wendeng gold deposit is located 30 km northwest of Wendeng City,Shandong Province, occurring in a brecciated alteration zone in the foot wall of the NNE-striking fault(F1). It consists of quartz, pyrite, specularite, potash feldspar, sericite, carbonates and chlorite hosted in Proterozoic biotite-plagioclasee gneiss. Three generations of quartz are recognized based on cathodoluminescence and micro morphology. Systematic studies of fluid inclusions provide data to establish P-T-V-X relations for the fluid evolution in mineralization process.It is concluded that the ore-forming solution was evolved from meteoric water through ghermal events during Mesozoic tectonics. The precipitation of gold was related to two boiling events.     

Geochemical Characteristics of Jinwozi Gold Deposit,Xinjiang

The Jinwozi gold deposit consists of gold-bearing quartz veins in a biotite granodiorite of Hercynian age (zircon U-Pb age ≈ 335.7 Ma). Ore mineralogy is simple. In addition to native gold, there are only small amounts of sulfides, mainly pyrite and minor sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena. δ³⁴S values average 6.69‰, and δ¹⁸O 13.99‰ Abundant CO₂ is contained in fluid inclusions from quartz. Homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions are between 186 and 262 °C. REE distribution patterns indicate that the igneous mass may have been derived from a common initial material of calcareous-argillaceous sediments and alkali basalts as the country rocks. In other words, the Jinwozi granodiorite is of remelting origin from crustal material. Isotopic evidence of S, O and Pb shows that the ore-forming material is genetically related to magmatic hydrothermal activity.     

Metallogenesis of Devonian—Carboniferous Strata—bound Carbonate—type Uranium Deposits in South China

This paper deais with the geological conditions.mineralization characteristics,genetic types and space-time distribution of the Devonian-Carboniferous strata-bound carbonate-type uranium deposits in South China.These ore deposits are genetically classified as the leaching type and the leaching-hydrothermal superimposed type,These ore deposits are confined mainly to the strata (D2-3,C1)of platform-lagoon carbonate facies.Unique tectonic settings are a vital factor leading to the formation of these uranium deposits.A metallogenetic model for these uranium deposits has been proposed.     

Genetic Type and Metallogenic Mechanism of Bankuan Gold Deposit in Special Reference to the Studies of Fluid Inclusions and Isotopes in Minerals

Auriferous quartz veins in the Bankuan gold deposit occur in the interlayer broken zone of the basal conglomerate of the Tietonggou Formation or at the unconformity between the Tietonggou Formation and the crystalline basement.The composition of fluid inclusions in the minerals indicates that the nature and composition of ore-forming hydrothermal solutions show a drastical change soon after the solutions reached the Tietonggou Formation from the crystalline basement,resulting in gold precipitation.So the Bankuan gold deposit can be assigned to the conglomerate stata-bound-type deposits.137 thermometric data are concentrated in the three ranges 400-340℃,330-220℃ and 180-160℃,representing three episodes of metalogenesis,Oxygen isotope studies demonstrate the evolution of ore-forming hydrothermal solutions from early metamorphic to late meteoric,Diversity of ore-forming materials dominated by deep-source material is supported by sulphur and lead isotope data.From the above discussions it may be concluded that the deposit formed by metamorphism induced as a result of Mesozoic northward intracontinental subduction along the Machaoying fault.     

Geochemical Characteristics of the Sandstone—type Uranium Deposits in Northern Sichuan Province

Described in detail in this paper are the geochemical characteristics of the sandstone-type uranium deposits in northern Sichuan Province .Favorable and unfavor-able conditions for the enrichment of uranium are explored on the basis of the elemental abundances and ratios of U,Th and K determined by gamma-ray spectroscopy. Gamma-ray spectroscopic(U, Th and K) and XRF analyses(As, Ba) are helpful to distinguish U-bearing light-colored sandstones from U-barren light-colored ones and red sandstones (red claystone) from light-colored sandstones. Therefore, the favorable target area for prospecting the sandstone-type uranium deposits can be difined in northern Sichuan Province.     

Assessment of Prospecting Potentiality for Superlarge Continental Volcanic Rock—Type Uranium Deposits in China

The superlarge continental volcanic rock-type uranium deposits,which were discovered abroad long ago,have not ye been reported up to now in China.This is an important problem that needs to be urgently solved by uranium geologists at present.In this paper,on the basis of analyzing the metallogenic settings and geological conditions of the superlarge continental volcanic rock-type uranium deposits discovered in the world along with the metallogenic characteristics of those of the same type in China,the space-time distribution patterns of continental volcanics and the metallogenic potential of main tectono-volcanic belts in China are discussed,and a synthetic conclusion has been drawn that there is a possibility to discover the superlarge continental volcanic rock-type uranium deposits in China.Moreover,it is evidenced that the Ganhang,Nanling,Yanliao,Da Hinggan Ling and other tectono-volcanic belts possess favorable geological conditions for the formation of ssuperlarge ore deposits of the continental volcanic rock type.The intersecting and overlapping locations of the aforementioned main belts with other tectono-volcanic(-intrusive)belts are the most potential areas where the superlarge continental volcanic rock-type uranium deposits would be found.     

Hydrothermal Mobilization and Enrichment of Iron in the Iron Deposits of the Middle—Lower Yangtze Valley District

There are two main types of iron deposits in the Middle-Lower Yangtze Valley district.Both of them underwent post-magmatic hydrothermal processes during ore formation.Iron in the hydrothermal ore bodies was derived largely through mobilization from substantially consolidated diroitic intrusives.Wall-roch alteration zonation indicates that iron-mobilizing hydrothermal fluids evolved in a trend of decreasing alkalinity,which is suggested by regularly distributed wall-rock alterations formed by iron-mobilizing hydrothermal fluids and is in contradiction with the current chloride,chloride complex and bicarbonate models for iron mobilization.The close association of carbonatization with iron ores and the high concentrations of reduced gases such as CO,CH4 and H2 in fluid inclusions suggest that iron is most probably transported in the form of iron carbonyls during post-magmatic hydrothermal processes. In the light of the iron carbonyl mobilization model,explanations are made of the constraints on ores of some geologic factors such as melanocratic alteration,carbonatization,carbonate strata,structural fractures,cyptoexplosive pipes and embryo ores.

龙首山地区是西北重要的花岗岩型热液铀矿产区之一,区内控矿条件复杂。研究选取甘肃省龙首山芨岭矿区内的矿床和部分矿点的热液碳酸盐样品并测定其C、O同位素组成：δ13C VPDB的值在-1.50‰～-6.33‰之间,δ18OSMOW值为-2.577～5.051‰之间。进一步研究结果表明,成矿流体中矿化剂ΣCO2主要来源于与区域深大断裂有关的幔源脱气作用,同时伴有海相碳酸盐来源;成矿同时期伴随的强烈流体脱气(CO2)作用对矿质沉淀至关重要。成矿热液的水源主要为岩浆热液与大气降水混合特征,但以大气降水形成为主。     

华南花岗岩型铀矿地质特征及成矿作用

Potassic alteration in French hydrothermal uranium deposits

A comprehensive study of alteration minerals, especially clays, developed around or within French hydrothermal uranium ore bodies (Vendée and Margeride), generally associated with leucogranitic rocks, using optical examinations, classical methods of clay mineralogy and electron microprobe determinations, demonstrates the general feature of potassic minerals as products of reaction between ore forming fluids and host rocks. Six stages of alteration follow the typical metallogenic sequence established for numerous deposits: early stages and uranium stages 1) 2) 3) with phengites, illite, mixed layered illite and K-montmorillonites; 4), early reworking of pitchblende 1 to pitchblende 2 with complex zoning around ores: illite, illite-K-montmorillonites; 5) then to coffinite-smectites; 6) sooty pitchblende, during supergene weathering, with smectites and kaolinite. Potassic metasomatism by fluids in desequillibrium with the minerals of the granitic host rocks, essentially albite, explains the complex alterations in K-smectites, mixed layered minerals and adularia. Variety of alteration products in each alteration zone indicate incomplete reactions of the solids and chemical potential gradients on a small scale.

Marcasite precipitation from hydrothermal solutions

Pyrite and marcasite were precipitated by both slow addition of aqueous Fe²⁺ and SiO₃²⁻ to an H₂S solution and by mixing aqueous Fe²⁺ and Na₂S₄ solutions at 75°C. H₂S₂ or HS₂⁻ and H₂S₄ or HS₄⁻ were formed in the S₂O₃²⁻ and Na₂S₄ experiments, respectively. Marcasite formed at pH < pK₁ of the polysulfide species present (for H₂S₂, pK₁ = 5.0; for H₂S₄, pK₁ = 3.8 at 25°C). Marcasite forms when the neutral sulfane is the dominant polysulfide, whereas pyrite forms when mono-or divalent polysulfides are dominant. In natural solutions where H₂S₂ and HS₂ are likely to be the dominant polysulfides, marcasite will form only below pH 5 at all temperatures.

The pH-dependent precipitation of pyrite and marcasite may be caused by electrostatic interactions between polysulfide species and pyrite or marcasite growth surfaces: the protonated ends of H₂S₂ and HS₂ are repelled from pyrite growth sites but not from marcasite growth sites. The negative ions HS₂ and S₂²⁻ are strongly attracted to the positive pyrite growth sites. Masking of 1π_g^* electrons in the S₂ group by the protons makes HS₂ and H₂S₂ isoelectronic with AsS²⁻ and As₂²⁻, respectively ( et al., 1981). Thus, the loellingitederivative structure (marcasite) results when both ends of the polysulfide are protonated.

Marcasite occurs abundantly only for conditions below pH 5 and where H₂S₂ was formed near the site of deposition by either partial oxidation of aqueous H₂S by O₂ or by the reaction of higher oxidation state sulfur species that are reactive with H₂S at the conditions of formation e.g., S₂O₃²⁻ but not SO₄²⁻. The temperature of formation of natural marcasite may be as high as 240°C ( and , 1985), but preservation on a multimillion-year scale seems to require post-depositional temperatures of below about 160°C ( , 1973; and , 1985).

华南中生代花岗岩型、火山岩型、外接触带型铀矿找矿思路（I）

华南中生代铀成矿作有处于中国东部燕山期强烈火山岩浆作用、壳幔作用及流体作用时期,铀具有大规模聚集成矿的前景。因此,中生代花岗岩型、火山岩型、外接触带型铀矿找矿必须引进深源成矿理论,淡化“浅成低温活化成矿理论”,充分认识铀矿既可形成于浅源浅成条件,也能形成于深源深成高温条件及深源浅成中温条件的特点,重视早阶段（130－95Ma）铀矿化,打破以主岩类型找矿的人为界限,加强白垩纪岩浆岩体系的研究。     

华南中生代花岗岩型、火山岩型、外接触带型铀矿找矿思路(Ⅱ)

笔者认为,对华南中生代富大铀矿成矿背景的研究要强调壳幔交换的深部作用,强调构造体制变革对成矿的制约,以及两条火山岩带和一个岩浆活动区的成矿地位.构造研究中要引进伸展构造理论,研究盆岭构造、热隆构造及与变质核杂岩构造配套的常见构造型式,研究盆岭耦合特点.成矿模式要考虑岩浆定位部位深浅及形成构造环境差异、地化环境差异,要探索大型、超大型铀矿形成的岩浆定位部位与层圈构造、地壳韧脆性构造转换面、地球化学转换面的耦合条件.
