伊朗浅成低温热液矿床时空分布规律与矿床类型

特提斯成矿域是地球上三大成矿域之一,矿产资源丰富.文章综述了特提斯域内伊朗高原浅成低温热液矿床的地质特征,讨论了成矿事件的时空分布规律以及主要矿床类型.研究表明,伊朗浅成低温热液矿床大部分位于乌兹密尔-杜克塔尔岩浆弧和阿尔博兹岩浆弧.其中,前者主要产出高硫型Cu-Au±Ag矿床和低硫型Au±Ag±Cu矿床,分布较为稀疏,成矿与始新世和中新世热液活动有关,部分高硫型矿化可能与临近的斑岩型铜矿化构成一套斑岩铜成矿系统;后者主要发育高硫型Cu-Au±Ag矿床、低硫型Au±Ag±Cu矿床、中硫型Pb-Zn±Cu±Au±Ag矿床,它们集中分布在西部的Tarom-Hashtjin带和东部Torud-Chah Shirin带,成矿主要发生在始新世,矿体均赋存在火山岩中且明显受断裂控制,但在矿石矿物和脉石矿物的种类、组构特征以及蚀变类型等方面存在差异,金属沉淀均与降温、沸腾和流体混合等密切相关.     

东疆卡拉塔格梅岭铜(金)矿床地质和流体包裹体特征及其与紫金山式铜金矿床的对比

卡拉塔格成矿带梅岭铜(金)矿床位于新疆吐哈盆地南缘的古生代隆起带中,在大地构造位置上处于大南湖—突苏泉晚古生代岛弧带北段的上叠火山盆地中。其成矿阶段形成的石英中的流体包裹体类型较为单一,多为气液两相包裹体,数量少,个体较小(3~10μm),气相百分数小(4%~10%),零星随机分布。均一温度变于化106.6~259.8℃,成矿流体盐度w(NaCleq)为0.18%~8.41%,成矿压力为3~16MPa,估算的成矿深度为0.4~0.8km。结合野外观察以及火山-次火山岩石组合、热液蚀变组合及矿石结构构造与矿化特点,提出梅岭铜(金)矿区为高硫化物浅成低温热液型与斑岩型铜金矿之间的过渡类型,相当于福建紫金山式或台湾金瓜石式。     

Presence of native gold and tellurium in the active high-sulfidation hydrothermal system of the La Fossa volcano (Vulcano, Italy)

Grains of native gold and tellurium were found in siliceous hydrothermally altered rocks in the high-temperature (170–540°C) fumarolic field of the La Fossa volcano (Island of Vulcano). In addition to Au and Te, Pb–Bi sulfides (cannizzarite) and Tl-bromide chloride were found as sublimates in the hottest fumarolic vents of the crater rim. The chemical composition of altered rocks associated with sublimate deposition indicate the presence of a significant concentration of Te (up to 75 ppm), while gold concentrations are very low (<9 ppb). Pb, Bi and Tl are strongly enriched in the hottest and less oxidized fumarolic vents, reaching concentrations of 2186, 146 and 282 ppm, respectively. These elements are transported (generally as chloride complexes) to the surface by volcanic gases, and several of these (Bi, Te, Tl) are originated from magma degassing. The silicic alteration is produced by the flow of fluids with pH<2. High acidity results from introduction of magmatic gases such as SO₂, HCl and HF released by the shallow magmatic reservoir of La Fossa volcano. The silicic alteration found at Vulcano may represent an early stage of the `vuggy silica' facies which characterizes the high-sulfidation epithermal ore deposits, confirming the analogies existing between this type of ore deposit and magmatic-hydrothermal systems associated with island-arc volcanoes.     

西藏多龙矿集区铁格隆南超大型Cu(Au、Ag)矿床硫锡砷铜矿研究及其地质意义

铁格隆南矿床位于班公湖-怒江成矿带西段多龙矿集区,是青藏高原发现的首例具有典型高硫型浅成低温热液矿化特征的超大型Cu(Au、Ag)矿床。笔者通过对该矿床进行系统的矿相学研究,结合电子探针显微分析,首次在该矿床发现了硫锡砷铜矿,虽然其总量不多,但其与不同矿物组合特征可反演其形成时的物化条件,对矿床成因类型判别具有一定指示意义。该矿床中的硫锡砷铜矿多为粒径约10μm的不规则细粒,无内反射,均质性,与硫砷铜矿、砷黝铜矿等Cu-As-S体系矿物伴生产出时呈乳黄色-淡黄色,与斑铜矿、黄铁矿、蓝辉铜矿等CuFe-S体系矿物伴生产出时呈乳褐色-浅褐色。根据矿物之间的交代关系发现,硫锡砷铜矿形成于黄铁矿、斑铜矿、砷黝铜矿、硫砷铜矿之后,蓝辉铜矿、铜蓝之前。电子探针分析显示,硫锡砷铜矿的基本成分包括Cu、As、V、S、Sn、Sb,普遍含有少量Fe、Ge、Zn,部分样品中含少量W、Au、Ag,以S原子数为32为基础,计算得出其分子式为Cu_(23.71～26.92)V_(1.43～2.10)(As_(2.55～5.86),Sb_(0～0.63))_(3.15～5.95)(Sn_(0～2.6),Ge_(0～0.7))_(0.01～2.60)(Fe_(0～2.4),Zn_(0～0.24))_(0～2.4)S_(32),其中,存在Sb~(5+)?As~(5+)和Sn~(4+)?Ge~(4+)、(As,Sb)~(5+)+Cu~+?(Sn,Ge)~(4+)+(Fe,Zn,Cu)~(2+)以及V~(5+)?V~(4+)+Cu~+等复杂的元素耦合置换。结合矿石矿物组合及蚀变组合分析指出,酸性或略偏中性的、中低温高硫化态环境是促使硫锡砷铜矿生成的关键控制因素。     

Exploration Techniques at the Thorn Ag-Au-Cu High-Sulfidation Epithermal Prospect, Northern British Columbia, Canada

Abstract. The Thorn prospect is an El Indio-style high-sulfidation epithermal prospect in a little-explored belt of Late Cretaceous subaerial volcanics and subvolcanic intrusions in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. More than 30 massive sulfide (pyrite-enargite-tennantite/tetrahedrite) veins, quartz-sulfide (quartz-pyrite-enargite-tennantite/tetrahedrite) veins and quartz-vuggy silica-alunite veins/breccias fill ENE fractures and faults over an area of 1,600 times 1,900 m. They are hosted within a Late Cretaceous feldspar-quartz-biotite granodioritic porphyry stock and flanked by alteration envelopes a few meters to tens of meters wide: an inner envelope of intense sericite-clay-pyrite and an outer one of weak clay-sericite-chlorite. Where several veins are close together, the sericite-clay-pyrite alteration envelopes coalesce into zones up to 150 m wide.
The most successful exploration techniques have been prospecting, silt and soil geochemistry, airborne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys and diamond drilling. Silt and soil geochemical anomalies for Au, Ag, As, Cu, Pb, Sb and Zn mark the known veins and indicate prospective areas where veins have not yet been discovered. Magnetics and resistivity outline the gross property-wide structure and lithologies. Most of the sericite-clay-pyrite alteration and known veins are outlined by the <264 ohm-m resistivity contour, which covers an area of 800 times 2,300 m. Weak EM conductors are thought to represent undiscovered massive sulfide and quartz-sulfide veins, and their flanking sericite-clay-pyrite alteration.     

Fluids in early stage hydrothermal alteration of high-sulfidation epithermal systems: A view from the Vulcano active hydrothermal system (Aeolian Island,Italy)

High-sulfidation (HS) epithermal systems have elements in common with passively degassing volcanoes associated with high T, acid fumarole fields or acid crater lakes. They are considered to form in two stages, the first of which involves advanced argillic alteration resulting from intense, strongly acidic fluid–rock interaction. The La Fossa hydrothermal system (Vulcano Island) represents a classic example of such an active HS system and can be considered as a modern analogue of this early stage of alteration, resulting in a core of intense silicic (90–95% pure SiO₂) alteration surrounded by alunitic alteration zones.     

Some Aspects Regarding the Tectonic Setting of High– and Low-sulfidation Epithermal Gold Deposits of Chile

Abstract: In Chile the principal gold deposits of the low- and high-sulfidation types occur in the middle Creataceous-early Eocene Precordillera and in the middle to late Miocene Andean Cordillera, respectively. In both areas their related magma-tism migrates south-east with time. This feature suggests that the metallogenic integrity is greatly affected by a change in the tectonic regime from a transpressive oblique subduction to a weakly-compressive normal subduction. Moreover, certain differences in the geologic setting, such as the structure of host rocks are recognized between the two types of Chilean epither-mal gold deposits. This data provide us not only with genetic implications regarding epithermal gold deposits, but also an important guide for gold exploration in the Chilean Cordillera.
