都龙锡锌多金属矿床LA-MC-ICPMS锡石U-Pb测年及其意义

云南都龙锡锌多金属矿床是我国最大的锡石硫化物矿床之一。缺乏精确可靠的成矿年代学判据,是该矿床成因认识存在较大分歧的重要原因之一,严重制约了地质勘探工作的深入。本文应用LA-MC-ICP-MS微区原位U-Pb同位素测年技术,对都龙矿区曼家寨矿段的锡石样品进行了研究,获得DL12-716、DL12-722、DL12-740等三件样品的206Pb/207Pb-238U/207Pb等时线年龄分别为89.2±4.1Ma(N=22,MSWD=4.5)、88.0±1.6Ma(N=24,MSWD=2.3)和87.2±3.9Ma(N=31,MSWD=14),207Pb/206Pb-238U/206Pb谐和年龄分别为96.6±3.5Ma(MSWD=8.1)、93.6±1.6Ma(MSWD=5.8)和82.0±2.5Ma(MSWD=11)。结合矿床地质特征和前人成岩-成矿年代学成果,表明都龙矿区锡成矿作用主要发生在晚白垩纪,与燕山晚期岩浆热液活动关系密切,结合地质事实,表明燕山晚期岩浆热液活动是老君山矿集区锡钨多金属成矿的关键。通过区域地质及年代学对比,表明滇东南地区晚白垩世存在大规模花岗岩成岩-锡成矿事件。     

粤北连平地区钨锡多金属矿床成矿时代研究

粤北连平地区钨锡多金属矿床类型主要为石英脉型.采用云母Ar-Ar法和石英包裹体Rb-Sr法.分别获得:锯板坑含钨锡石英脉中的云母Ar-Ar坪年龄为(139.2±1.5)Ma(等时线年龄为143.6±3.9 Ma,MSWD:0.30):鸡啼石含钨石英脉中石英包裹体Rb-Sr等时线年龄为(155.4±5.1)Ma(MSWD=2.1).结果表明该区存在燕山早期和燕山早晚过渡期两期钨锡多金属成矿作用,并且认为:(1)鸡啼石钨矿为南岭地区中生代大规模成岩成矿作用高峰期(150～160 Ma)的产物;(2)南岭地区140 Ma左右也有大型钨锡多金属矿的形成.这一成果为研究区域成矿规律,指导区域找矿提供了重要同位素年代学依据.     

大兴安岭南段维拉斯托锡多金属矿床LA-ICP-MS锡石和锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

维拉斯托锡多金属矿床位于大兴安岭南段西坡的内蒙古克什克腾旗,是近年来发现的一个以锡为主,共伴生钨、锌、铜、钼、铷、铌和钽的大型矿床。矿化类型包括深部以锡为主,伴生锌、铷、铌和钽的蚀变花岗岩型矿体;中部以锡为主,伴生铜和锌的隐爆角砾岩型矿体及浅部锡、钨、锌、铜和钼的石英大脉型和网脉型矿体。该矿床的主要工业矿体为石英脉型,呈北北东向产于古元古界宝音图群和华力西期石英闪长岩中的断裂破碎带内,而蚀变花岗岩型和隐爆角砾岩型矿石的品位较低。文中选取1件石英脉型锡矿体中的锡石样品进行了LA-ICP-MS锡石U-Pb定年,获得锡石的206Pb/207Pb238U/207Pb等时线年龄为(136.0±6.1) Ma(MSWD=0.94),207Pb/206Pb238U/206Pb谐和年龄为(132.3±5.4) Ma(MSWD=2.8),表明维拉斯托锡多金属矿床形成于早白垩世;选取1件与成矿相关的北大山岩体花岗岩样品开展了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年,获得206Pb/238U年龄为(140±2) Ma(MSWD=0.10),表明成矿岩体亦形成于早白垩世。维拉斯托锡多金属矿床属于与花岗岩有关的岩浆热液型矿床。通过统计大兴安岭南段主要锡多金属矿床的成矿年龄和成矿岩体的年龄,发现几乎所有的锡多金属矿床均形成于140～135 Ma期间,表明早白垩世是大兴安岭南段锡多金属矿床成矿高峰期。     

内蒙古道伦达坝铜钨锡矿床LA-ICP-MS锆石和锡石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

道伦达坝矿床位于大兴安岭南段,是一个铜钨锡矿床,其铜、钨、锡储量均达中型。矿体呈脉状,主要产于二叠系砂板岩中的断裂破碎带中,华力西期黑云母花岗岩中的断裂破碎带中亦赋存有矿体。文章选取2件石英-萤石-白云母-电气石-锡石-黑钨矿阶段的矿石样品对其中的进行了LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年,获得2件样品的~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb-~(238)U/~(206)Pb谐和年龄分别为(134.7±6.6)Ma(MSWD=1.4)和(136.8±7.4)Ma(MSWD=1.7),~(206)Pb/~(207)Pb-~(238)U/~(207)Pb等时线年龄分别为(132±12)Ma(MSWD=0.76)和(135±13)Ma(MSWD=0.9)。锡石定年结果表明,道伦达坝矿床形成于早白垩世。对矿区外围张家营子岩体中的斑状细粒花岗岩进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年,获得的~(206)Pb/~(238)U加权平均年龄为(135±1)Ma(MSWD=1.3),该岩体的形成年龄与道伦达坝矿床的成矿年龄在误差范围内一致。本次定年结果表明道伦达坝矿床形成于早白垩世,与同期的花岗质岩浆活动有密切的成因联系,该矿床属于与花岗岩有关的岩浆热液脉型矿床。     

赣西北大湖塘钨矿床辉钼矿Re-Os同位素定年及其意义

江西省武宁县大湖塘钨矿位于武宁县西南方向41km,赣西北地区武宁、靖安、修水3县交界处,矿区处于下扬子成矿省之江南隆起东段成矿带之西部,是与燕山期花岗质岩浆活动有关的钨矿床, 也是最近刚勘查出的我国规模最大的钨矿床。本文采用辉钼矿Re-Os同位素定年技术,测得大湖塘石门寺矿段辉钼矿Re-Os等时线年龄为143.7±1.2Ma(n=6,MSWD=0.84); 狮尾洞矿段辉钼矿Re-Os等时线年龄为140.9±3.6Ma (n=6,MSWD=2.30)。说明其成矿于早白垩世,与其北侧的、同处于下扬子成矿省的长江中下游成矿带九瑞-鄂东南矿集区的铜多金属矿床成岩成矿年龄非常一致,但与华南成矿省之南岭成矿带的钨矿成矿作用有诸多不同。下扬子成矿省主要为早期两大古陆碰撞对接、构造格局开始大转换时期成矿,而华南成矿省为地壳重熔形成的花岗质岩浆经过多期次和多阶段分异演化在最晚阶段富集成矿。     

华南与花岗岩有关大规模钨锡成矿作用的时空分布、成矿模式及找矿方向

华南是我国重要的钨锡成矿区。本文围绕华南与花岗岩有关的大规模钨锡成矿作用,系统收集了区内130余个主要矿床的地质和同位素年代学资料,初步总结了与花岗岩有关大规模钨锡矿床的主要类型和时空分布特征。统计结果表明,矽卡岩型和石英脉型是华南最重要的钨成矿类型,而矽卡岩型和锡石硫化物型(或碳酸盐岩交代型)是华南最主要的锡成矿类型。华南与花岗岩有关钨锡成矿作用具有多时代特点,但大规模成矿均集中于燕山期。以南岭和赣北成矿带为主要代表的钨成矿作用主要集中爆发于晚侏罗世至早白垩世早期(160～120Ma),而右江盆地晚白垩世(110～80 Ma,峰期为90～80 Ma)和南岭成矿带晚侏罗世(160～150 Ma)锡矿床则共同构成了华南最主要的锡成矿作用。多种不同矿化或金属类型在同一矿床或矿田尺度上组合产出是华南与花岗岩有关钨锡矿床的重要特征之一,对指导找矿具有重要意义。对此,文章结合华南地区近年来的一些重要成矿机制研究成果和找矿勘查进展,分别以瑶岗仙、川口、茅坪、柿竹园、大厂和个旧等矿床或矿田为例,论述了华南与花岗岩有关大规模钨锡成矿作用的几种成矿模式和找矿方向。此外,本文在钨、锡成矿花岗岩的岩石学、地...     

南岭地区大规模钨锡多金属成矿作用:成矿时限及地球动力学背景

南岭位于华南地区中部,是我国乃至全球最主要的钨锡金属成矿省.本文基于最近几年的高精度成岩成矿测年资料和地球动力学研究进展,提出南岭地区大规模成矿作用出现于中晚侏罗世(165～150Ma),相应的构造背景是古太平洋板块向大陆俯冲,在大陆边缘弧后地区出现一系列NE向壳幔相互作用强烈的伸展带,这些伸展带与东西向古断裂的交汇部位是岩浆活动和成矿作用中心区,NE向十杭带与南岭中脊部EW向古深大断裂的交汇处形成湘南最大的钨锡矿集区.在中晚白垩世.古太平洋板块向NNE方向走滑,导致大陆岩石圈大面积伸展,相应大规模的火山活动主要出现在武夷山以东地区,但在包括南岭地区在内的华南地区广泛出现盆岭构造,NNE向的白垩纪红层-火山盆地与以花岗岩为代表的隆起相间分布,在一些盆地可见130～90Ma侵位的、面积不大却广泛分布的花岗岩及其锡多金属矿化,构成华南地区大规模锡多金属矿化作用,但这次成矿作用在南岭地区并不十分强烈.     

滇东南官房钨矿床石榴子石原位LA-SF-ICP-MS U-Pb定年及地质意义

官房矽卡岩型钨矿床位于滇东南薄竹山W多金属矿集区,大地构造上处于扬子地块、华夏地块、印支地块三大构造单元的接合部位。白钨矿呈浸染状赋存于石榴子石-辉石矽卡岩中。矽卡岩一般不直接与岩体接触,呈脉状或透镜状产于围岩中。精确的成岩成矿年龄的测定对于研究滇东南W-Sn矿床成岩成矿地质背景、矿床成因、成矿预测均具有重要意义。根据电子探针分析结果,石榴子石属钙铁榴石-钙铝榴石固溶体系列。石榴子石原位LA-SF-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学研究获得T-W图下交点年龄分别为101.3±5.4Ma(MSWD=2.0)、87.6±2.3Ma(MSWD=1.5),暗示该区可能存在早白垩世和晚白垩世两期矽卡岩成岩事件。综合研究表明,石榴子石原位U-Pb定年对于限定矽卡岩型W矿床的成矿时代是可行的。结合区域燕山晚期成岩成矿事件,认为～88Ma为该区W-Sn多金属矿主要成矿期,成矿作用与同期花岗岩密切相关;～101Ma可能为另外一期矽卡岩成岩事件,这一认识和发现对于区域找矿部署有很强的实践意义。     

云南老君山矿集区的晚侏罗世-早白垩世成矿事件

云南省老君山矿集区产出南秧田、花石头、茶叶山等众多钨矿床, 是南岭成矿带西段为数不多的以钨为主的矿集区.由于受到多期构造热事件的影响, 该矿集区的成矿年龄存在较大的争议.为此, 选择白钨矿Sm-Nd同位素体系测定了南秧田钨矿田中长石石英脉型矿体的年龄, 用白云母和黑云母Ar-Ar方法厘定了区域花岗伟晶岩的形成时代及其变质围岩的变质时限.研究表明, 南秧田钨矿田中长石石英脉型白钨矿矿体的形成年龄为159±14 Ma, 明显晚于印支期形成的矽卡岩型矿体; 两花岗伟晶岩及其围岩变质作用的时代分别为144~141 Ma和121~112 Ma, 说明老君山矿集区存在晚侏罗世-早白垩世的构造热事件和成矿作用.综合前人的研究成果, 老君山矿集区受到区域花岗片麻岩和花岗岩产出特征的制约, 成矿时代分布与南岭成矿带一致, 存在晚三叠世、晚侏罗世-早白垩世和晚白垩世3个成矿高峰期.而且, 老君山矿集区的成矿特点与南岭东段的钨矿床有一定的可类比性, 是"东钨西扩"的典型实例, 这可能与老君山矿集区遭受了较高的剥蚀程度有关, 暗示南岭西段的高剥蚀区是寻找晚侏罗世钨矿床的远景区.      

Geochronology of granite and associated Sn mineralization in the Shuangyuanchong Sn deposit and its implication for Sn-W prospecting potential in the Shizhuyuan-Hehuaping area,the Nanling region,South ChinaSCIEI北大核心CSCD

南岭成矿带是全球最重要的钨锡成矿带之一,区内钨锡成矿条件优渥,是开展钨锡找矿勘查的重要目标区。然而如何开展钨锡找矿工作,尤其是在已有矿床周缘圈定成矿远景区,是钨锡成矿作用研究以及找矿勘查工作关注的重要科学问题。双园冲矿床位于南岭成矿带中西段,处于荷花坪与柿竹园两个大型锡钨多金属矿田中间,并与两个矿田处于同一构造体系,但目前对该矿床的研究程度较低,由此也制约了其矿床成因研究及该区的找矿部署。本次研究获得双园冲云英岩化花岗岩的锆石和独居石原位LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄分别为161.2±2.5Ma和157.1±1.8Ma,与云英岩型矿石中锡石原位LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄(158.9±2.9Ma)一致,二者均形成于晚侏罗世,表明其具有密切的成因关系,这一年龄也与南岭成矿带钨锡成矿大爆发时代(150-160Ma)一致。综合对比双园冲锡矿及与其空间相邻的柿竹园和荷花坪锡多金属矿田特征显示,三者成岩成矿时代一致,岩体侵位和矿体分布均受NE向断裂控制,矿体也均赋存于中-上泥盆统碳酸盐岩地层中,并且成矿花岗岩具有相似的岩石学特征和岩浆源区。综合以上信息,本文提出三个矿床可能形成于同一次岩浆热液活动,成矿岩体可能来自地壳深部同一个大岩浆房,柿竹园和荷花坪之间的区域具有发育晚侏罗世花岗岩体及相关钨锡矿的较大潜力。根据双园冲锡矿及其周缘大型锡钨矿床浅部脉状Pb-Zn-Fe-Mn矿化和深部矽卡岩-云英岩型Sn-W矿化的特征,提出研究区乃至整个南岭地区浅部脉状Pb-Zn-Fe-Mn矿化是深部Sn-W找矿勘查的有利部位。     

LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon dating of the Bozhushan granite in Southeast Yunnan

The LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon dating of eight typical samples from four units of the Bozhushan granite intrusion in southeastern Yunnan Province, constrains the age of acidic magmatic intrusion in this area. Both the oscillatory zoning and chondrite-normalized REE patterns characterized by LREE-depletion and HREE-enrichment with positive Ce anomaly and negative Eu anomaly indicate the magmatic genesis of these zircons. Eight zircon samples from the Bozhushan granite yielded a mean 206 Pb/ 238 U age of (85.58±1.0) Ma (MSWD=4.1) to (88.10±0.66) Ma (MSWD=1.8). These chronology data suggest an accurate isotopic age for the intrusion of the Bozhushan granite, and are different from the published age data of 48 to 111.5 Ma. The geochronology data of the Gejiu, Dulong and Dachang super-large deposits and related Yanshanian granites indicated that there occurred large-scale granitic magmatism and mineralization events in western Nanling region during the Late Cretaceous.     

滇西松山锡矿锡石LA-SF-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学及其对区域锡成矿作用的指示

松山锡矿位于滇西临沧花岗岩基的西北侧。矿体主要赋存于临沧黑云母二长花岗岩与松山组绢云石英片岩接触带矽卡岩以及花岗岩和围岩的裂隙中。由于缺乏精确的成矿年代学数据,在一定程度上限制了对矿床成因的认识,并制约了进一步的找矿勘查工作。本文首次利用LA-SF-ICP-MS微区原位U-Pb同位素测年技术对松山锡矿床矽卡岩型和电气石石英脉型矿石中的锡石矿物开展了 U-Pb年代学研究获得2件锡石样品的~(207) Pb/~(206)Pb-~(238) U/~(206) Pb谐和年龄分别为76.6±1.5Ma和79.6±3.6Ma,说明松山锡矿锡的成矿作用主要发生在晚白垩世,与临沧花岗岩主体侵位时间(三叠纪)明显不同。结合地质特征和前人年代学研究成果本文认为该地区存在明显的晚白垩世锡的成矿事件,研究区下一步的找矿工作应围绕岩体与围岩接触带,以及岩体和围岩中的断裂展开。     

Cassiterite LA-MC-ICP-MS U/Pb and muscovite 40Ar/39Ar dating of tin deposits in the Tengchong-Lianghe tin district,NW Yunnan,China

The Tengchong-Lianghe tin district in northwestern Yunnan, China, is an important tin mineralization area in the Sanjiang Tethyan Metallogenic Domain. There are three N–S trending granite belts in the Tengchong-Lianghe area, with emplacement ages ranging from Early Cretaceous to Late Cretaceous and Early Cenozoic. Tin mineralization is spatially associated with these granitic rocks. However, the petrogenetic link between the tin deposits and the host granites is not clear because of the lack of age data for the tin mineralization. We investigate the possibility of direct dating of cassiterite from three typical tin deposits in the Tengchong-Lianghe tin district, using laser ablation multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICP-MS). In situ LA-MC-ICP-MS dating of seven cassiterite samples from the Lailishan (LLS-1 and LLS-2), Xiaolonghe (XLH, WDS, DSP, and HJS), and Tieyaoshan (TYS) tin deposits yielded well-defined ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁷Pb–²³⁸U/²⁰⁷Pb isochron ages. To assess the accuracy of the in situ U/Pb dating of cassiterite, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of coexisting muscovite (in samples LLS-1, DSP, and TYS) was also performed. The cassiterite in situ U/Pb ages (47.4?±?2.0, 71.9?±?2.3, and 119.3?±?1.7 Ma, respectively) are in excellent agreement with the coexisting muscovite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages (48.4?±?0.3, 71.9?±?1.4, and 122.4?±?0.7 Ma, respectively). The U/Pb ages of cassiterite combined with the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages of muscovite indicate that there are three tin mineralization events in this district: the Lailishan tin deposit at 47.4?±?2.0 to 52?±?2.7 Ma, the Xiaolonghe tin deposit at 71.6?±?2.4 to 3.9?±?2.0 Ma, and the Tieyaoshan tin deposit at 119.3?±?1.7 to 122.5?±?0.7 Ma. These ages are highly consistent with the zircon U/Pb ages of the host granites. It is su.ggested that the Cretaceous tin mineralization might have taken place in a subduction environment, while the Early Tertiary tin metallogenesis was in a postcollisional geodynamic setting.     

U–Pb dating of zircon and cassiterite from the Early Cretaceous Jiaojiguan iron-tin polymetallic deposit,implications for magmatism and metallogeny of the Tengchong area,western Yunnan,China

The newly discovered Jiaojiguan deposit, a medium-scale skarn iron-tin polymetallic deposit on the Sino-Burma boundary of Yunnan Province (SW China), is spatially associated with the biotite monzonitic granite. Here, we report new in situ zircon LA-MC-ICP-MS U–Pb ages, trace element and Hf isotope data from the granite, and U–Pb dating ages of cassiterite from the ore bodies. In this study, we obtain a weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 124.1 ± 1.4 Ma for the zircon and a ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb-²³⁸U/²⁰⁶Pb intercept age of 123.8 ± 2.2 Ma for the cassiterite. The granite crystallized during the Early Cretaceous, with zircons exhibiting εHf(t) values from ?5.8 to ?0.6 and two-stage Hf model ages (T_DM2) of 1.21–1.54 Ga. The close temporal and spatial links between pluton emplacement and ore-forming events suggest that magmatic-hydrothermal events were the key factors that triggered the genesis of the iron-tin polymetallic deposits in the area. Regional geochronological data show that tin mineralization took place three times during the Cretaceous–Palaeogene in the Tengchong block due to re-melting of the underlying supposed Proterozoic (1.5 ± 0.5 Ga) Sn-rich strata/materials. Compared with those in the Bangong–Nujiang metallogenic belt (BNMB), we propose that the Cretaceous iron-tin polymetallic mineralization events in Tengchong–Baoshan closely resemble those of the Bangong–Nujiang belt in northern Tibet, both of which have experienced similar tectono-magmatic-metallogenic histories since the Mesozoic.     

A precise U–Pb age on cassiterite from the Xianghualing tin-polymetallic deposit (Hunan,South China)

We report the first precise U–Pb isotope data on cassiterite from the large Xianghualing tin-polymetallic deposit in the central Nanling district, South China. The results show that four separates from sample XF-51 have a relatively narrow range of ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U apparent ages, varying from 152 to 157 Ma, and the three ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U apparent ages yield a weighted average value of 156 ± 4 Ma (MSWD = 0.32). Separates from two other cassiterite samples do not have sufficient radiogenic Pb to generate a reliable ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age. Seven separates from the above three cassiterite samples define a well-constrained ²³⁸U–²⁰⁶Pb isochron corresponding to an age of 157 ± 6 Ma (MSWD = 34). A comparison of the U–Pb cassiterite ages with published Ar–Ar dates on muscovite from this deposit and K–Ar age data on biotite from the pluton genetically related to the tin mineralization in this area demonstrates that the U–Pb isotope system of cassiterite is a potential geochronometer. Combined with the Ar–Ar dates of muscovite from this deposit, we can constrain the absolute age of tin-polymetallic mineralization in Xianghualing at 154–157 Ma. The dates obtained in this study, consistent with the published geochronological results from other important deposits in this region, reveal that the large-scale tungsten–tin mineralization in the central Nanling region was predominantly emplaced during 150–161 Ma.     

A LA-ICP-MS Comparison of Reference Materials Used in Cassiterite U-Pb Geochronology

Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is used to compare the suitability of four cassiterite (SnO₂) materials (SPG, Yankee, AY-4 and Jian-1), and three matrix-mismatched reference materials (NIST SRM 612, NIST SRM 614 and 91500 zircon) for normalisation of U-Pb and Pb-Pb isotope ratios in cassiterite. The excess variance of ages determined by LA-ICP-MS is estimated to be ±0.33% for ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb vs. ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁶Pb isochron ages and ± 1.8% and for U-Pb ages. Incorporation of this excess variance in cassiterite ages is necessary for realistic uncertainties. ²⁰⁷Pb-²⁰⁶Pb ages are advantageous for dating Precambrian cassiterite such as SPG compared with U-Pb ages as matrix effect on instrumental mass fractionation of Pb isotopes are generally considered to be minor. We note minor bias in ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb vs. ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁶Pb isochron ages (~ 0.6%) when using either the NIST SRM 614 or 91500 zircon reference materials and emphasise the requirement for uncertainty propagation of all sources of error and reference materials with comparable U and Pb mass fraction to the cassiterite. The ²³⁸U/²⁰⁶Pb isotopic ratios from normalisation to matrix-mismatched reference materials show varied results, which emphasises the need to use matrix-matched reference materials for calculating U-Pb ages. When cross-calibrated against each other, LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ages of the ca. 1535 Ma SPG, ca. 245 Ma Yankee and ca. 155 Ma Jian-1 cassiterites are all consistent with their ID-TIMS values.
