2013Keywords:GeologyIsotope geochemistry Ore genesisYindongpo gold deposit Tongbai MountainsThe Yindongpo gold deposit is located in the Weishancheng Au –Ag-dominated polymetallic ore belt in Tongbai Mountains,central China.The ore bodies are stratabound within carbonaceous quartz –sericite schists of the Neoproterozoic Waitoushan Group.The ore-forming process can be divided into three stages,represented by early barren quartz veins,middle polymetallic sul fide veinlets and late quartz –carbonate stockworks,with most ore minerals,such as pyrite,galena,native gold and electrum being formed in the middle stage.The average δ18O water values changed from 9.7‰in the early stage,through 4.9‰in the middle stage,to −5.9‰in the late stage,with the δD values ranging between −65‰and −84‰.The δ13C CO 2values of ore fluids are between −3.7‰and +6.7‰,with an average of 1.1‰.The H –O –C isotope systematics indi-cate that the ore fluids forming the Yindongpo gold deposit were probably initially sourced from a process of metamorphic devolatilization,and with time gradually mixed with meteoric water.The δ34S values range from −0.3‰to +5.2‰,with peaks ranging from +1‰to +4‰.Fourteen sul fide samples yield 206Pb/204Pb values of 16.990–17.216,207Pb/204Pb of 15.419–15.612and 208Pb/204Pb of 38.251–38.861.Both S and Pb isotope ratios are similar to those of the main lithologies of the Waitoushan Group,but differ from other lithologic units and granitic batholiths in the Tongbai area,which suggest that the ore metals and fluids originated from the Waitoushan Group.The available K –Ar and 40Ar/39Ar ages indicate that the ore-forming process mainly took place in the period of 176–140Ma,during the transition from collisional compression to extension and after the closure of the oceanic seaway in the Qinling Orogen.The Yindongpo gold deposit is interpreted as a stratabound orogenic-style gold system formed during the transition phase from collisional compression to extension.The ore metals in the Waitoushan Group were extracted,transported and then accumulated in the carbona-ceous sericite schist layer.The carbonaceous sericite schist layer,especially at the junction of collapsed anti-cline axis and fault structures,became the most favorable locus for the ore bodies.©2013Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionThe concept of orogenic-type gold deposit was first introduced by Bohlke (1982)and then thoroughly addressed by Groves et al.(1998),Kerrich et al.(2000)and Goldfarb et al.(2001)to de fine a class of structurally controlled gold deposits formed by fluids,assumed to have originated mainly from syn-to post-orogenic metamorphic devolatilization.Several structurally-controlled lode gold deposits in China and elsewhere have been assigned to the class of orogenic gold de-posits (Chen et al.,2000a,2000b,2001,2012a,2012b;Chen et al.,2005a,2008;Crispini et al.,2011;Fan et al.,2003;Hart et al.,2002;Jiang et al.,2009a,2009b;Kerrich et al.,2000;Mao et al.,2002;Rui et al.,2002;Zhao et al.,2011;Zhou et al.,2002)and interpreted to have mainly formed during continental collision tectonics.Consequently,a tectonic model for collisional orogeny,metallogeny and fluid flow (CMF model)was established to interpret the metallogenic mechanism and space –time patterns of various genetic types including orogenic gold lodes (Chen and Fu,1992;Chen et al.,2004;Pirajno,2009,2012).Many structurally-controlled Ag±Pb –Zn,Pb –Zn±Ag,Cu and Mo lodes have also been interpreted as orogenic type (Chen,2006),including the Tieluping and Yindonggou Ag deposits in Henan province (Chen et al.,2004,2005b;Sui et al.,2000;Zhang et al.,2009);the Gaojiabaozi Ag de-posit in Liaoning province (Wang et al.,2008;Yu et al.,2009);the Tiemurt Pb

al.,2011a;Ni et al.,2008, 2012)and the Longmendian Mo(Li et al.,2011b)deposits in Henan province.Recent advances have not only improved the understanding of ore genesis and exploration targeting in orogenic belts,but also intro-duced several new uncertainties.One of them is whether the orogenic type deposit can occur as stratabound style;if not,how to clarify the ge-netic type of deposits formed by metamorphic ore-formingfluids that focused in specific lithologies(e.g.,carbonaceous beds,stratigraphic un-conformities);and if so,what are the geochemical signatures and metal sources of these stratabound orogenic-type deposits.Several gold de-posits,such as Muruntau in Uzbekistan,Kumtor in Kyrgyzstan,Sukhoi Log in Russia,Homestake in USA(Bierlein and Maher,2001;Goldfarb et al.,2001)and Sawayardun in Xinjiang(Chen et al.,2012a,b;Liu et al.,2007),Yangshan in Gansu(Yang et al.,2006,2009)and Yindongpo in Henan(Chen,1995;Zhou et al.,2002),show stratabound characteris-tics but alsofit an orogenic-style of mineral system.In this contribution we report the results of studies on the Yindongpo gold deposit,which occurs in the Weishancheng ore belt in Tongbai Mountains,Henan province,central China(Zhang et al., 2011).The Yindongpo deposit contains32,337kg Au at an average grade of7.61g/t,130.5t Ag at an average grade of38.41g/t, and26,792t Pb at an average grade of0.95%(Zhang Guan,pers. comm.).The deposit is characterized by a stratabound to stratiform ge-ometry,and has attracted the interest of geologists for its metallogenic style,ore genesis,spatial distribution and economic potential(Chen and Fu,1992;HBGMR,1985;Hu et al.,1988;Luo,1992;Xu et al.,1995; Zhang et al.,2009).However,an integrated study on the deposit has not been reported as yet.This paper summarizes the geology and H–O–C–S stable and radiogenic isotopic systematics of the Yindongpo gold deposit,and discusses the sources of ore metals andfluids,as well as the ore-forming mechanism(s).2.Geological setting2.1.Regional geologyThe Tongbai Mountains are part of the Central China Orogen (Fig.1A)that was formed during the Mesozoic collision between the Yangtze and North China continents(Wu and Zheng,2012),with the Shang-Dan fault zone being interpreted as main suture(Fig.1B).The Shang-Dan suture zone comprises ophiolite slices and Paleozoic–Triassic sediments,the latter containing radiolarian fossils(Du et al., 1997;Feng et al.,1994).North of the Shang-Dan suture is the northern Qinling accretionary belt(Chen et al.,2009)that includes the Qinling Metamorphic Complex,the Erlangping and Kuanping terranes.These terranes are south of the Luanchuan fault,which is accepted as the boundary between the Qinling Orogen and the reactivated southern margin of the North China Craton(Fig.1B).The Qinling Metamorphic Complex comprises the Qinling Group(pre-Rodinian metamorphic basement)and Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic granitoids which were mostly formed in magmatic-arc settings.The Erlangping terrane, which hosts the Weishancheng ore belt,is bound by the Zhu-Xia fault to south and the Waxuezi fault to north(Fig.1B,C),and mainly com-prises Neoproterozoic–Early Paleozoic volcano-sedimentary succes-sions and associated intrusions that formed in a back-arc basin(Chen et al.,2004;Hu et al.,1988;Sun et al.,2002).In the Kuanping terrane, the Kuanping Group mainly consists of Mesoproterozoic muscovite–biotite(quartz)schists,metagabbros,basaltic rocks and ophiolite slices, and is interpreted as a Mesoproterozoic ophiolite complex accreted to the southern margin of North China Craton(Gao et al.,1991;He etal.,Fig.1.Schematic map showing the geology of the Tongbai Mountains(Zhang et al.,2011).A)Location of the Qinling–Tongbai–Dabie Mountains.B)Tectonic framework of the Qinling–Tongbai–Dabie Mountains.C)Geology of the Tongbai Mountains and the location of the Yindongpo gold deposit.SDF,Shang-Dan suture zone;MLF,Mian-Lue suture

Geology Reviews53(2013)343–3562009;Hu et al.,1988;Luo,1992;Zhao et al.,2004,2009).The Kuanping Group is locally covered by or interleaved with Neoproterozoic to Early Paleozoic metamorphic sediments,and thereby is interpreted to have developed in Neoproterozoic or Early Paleozoic(Chen et al.,2009;and reference therein).The Weishancheng Au–Ag-dominated polymetallic ore belt in the northern Tongbai Mountains,strikes WNW for about20km with a width of ca.1km,and is located in the Erlangping terrane,north of the Zhu-Xia fault(F4in Fig.1C).Its eastern and western extensions are covered by Wucheng and Nanyang Cenozoic basins,respectively. The ore belt contains the Yindongpo Au deposit,the Poshan Ag deposit and the Yindongling Ag-dominated polymetallic deposit,as well as nu-merous small ore deposits or occurrences(Figs.1and2).2.2.Local geologyAll the deposits and occurrences in the Weishancheng ore belt are hosted in low-grade metamorphic carbonaceous rocks of the Waitoushan Group(Figs.1and2),which has a total thickness of about2500m and consists of mica schist,quartz–mica schist,plagioclase–amphibole schist, marble and minor quartzite.The Waitoushan Group is divided into the Upper Waitoushan,Mid-dle Waitoushan and Lower Waitoushan Formations(abbreviated as UWF,MWF and LWF respectively in the following text andfigures), each containing several members(Fig.3).The UWF is mainly composed of quartz–mica schist.The MWF comprises plagioclase–amphibole schist and carbonaceous quartz–sericite schist.The LWF contains more plagioclase–amphibole schist and marble.In the Tongbai Mountains,the Waitoushan Group is unique for its high abundance of organic carbon,Au,Ag and other metallic elements(Chen and Fu, 1992;HBGMR,1994).The Yindongpo gold deposit is hosted in the sec-ond member of MWF(Fig.3).The axis of the Heqianzhuang anticline strikes90°–120°,and is subparallel with the regional faults(Fig.2).This anticline comprises the Waitoushan Group and Dalishu Formation of the Erlangping Group.The anticlinal axis dies to the east and the hinge plunges towards the west.The Waitoushan Group occurs along the axis of the anticline,whereas the Dalishu Formation forms its southern limb.The orebodies are mainly sited in the hinge and/or along the two limbs of the anticline(Figs.2B,4,5A,C).The NW-trending faults are the dominant regional structures,and are crosscut by the ENE-trending,post-ore faults(Fig.2A).The largest fault is labeled F1and controls the Yindongpo deposit(Fig.2B).The anticline was intruded by granitic plutons,such as the Taoyuan Paleozoic granodiorite pluton and Liangwan monzogranite pluton.The Taoyuan granodiorite yields biotite K–Ar ages of390–357Ma,with the magma being sourced from the basement of northern Qinling accre-tionary belt(Zhang et al.,1999,2000).It intruded the Erlangping Group and Early Paleozoic quartz diorite then was intruded by granites,such as the Liangwan pluton,of Mesozoic age(Yanshanian;see below) (Figs.1and2).The Liangwan monzogranite pluton intruded the Dalishu Formation of the Erlangping Group(Figs.1and2)at128–111Ma(bio-tite K–Ar,whole rock Rb–Sr isochrones)and originated from partial melting of the Tongbai complex in southern Qinling terrane,implying that the lower crust of northern Tongbai Mountains(corresponding to northern Qinling accretionary belt)contains the components fromtheFig.2.Schematic map showing regional and

Reviews53(2013)343–356southern Qinling terrane,via a northward-directed continental subducting slab (Zhang et al.,1999,2000,2011).3.Deposit geology3.1.Characteristics of the orebodiesThe Yindongpo gold deposit covers an area 2km long and 0.6–0.9km wide (Fig.2B).The distribution of the orebodies is strictly con-trolled by carbonaceous beds (graphite-rich quartz –sericite schists)and the Heqianzhuang anticline and fault systems (Figs.2and 4A).The orebodies are typically stratabound and lenticular in shape,or occur as saddles and veins,and generally dip with the hosting strata (Fig.2B).The orebodies in the northern limb of the anticline are steeper than those in the southern limb (Fig.2B).The contacts between orebodies and wallrocks are gradational and are determined by a cut-off grade.The depth of orebodies increases from southeast to northwest.Most of orebodies are hosted in the second member of MWF (Figs.2B,3and 4),especially in the silici fied quartz –sericite schist and/or carbonaceous quartz –sericite schist.The No.0exploration line divides the Yingdongpo deposit into east-ern and western sectors.The eastern sector contains 19ore bodies,with Nos.1,2,3and 3–1being thick,long and continuously mineralized (Figs.2B and 4).In the western ore sector,Nos.51,52,54and 55are the most important orebodies,but are thinner,smaller and less contin-uously mineralized than those in the eastern sector (Figs.2B and 4).The No.1orebody is the largest,with Au reserves accounting for 78%of the ore in eastern sector (HBGMR,1994).It is 1600m long,600m deep and 8m wide,with average grades of 6.23g/t Au and 50g/t Ag,respectively.The ores were mined by open pitting and underground operation.3.2.Ore types and ore mineral assemblagesAltered tectonite breccia,fine vein-disseminated silici fied schist,and silici fied (carbonaceous)quartz –sericite schist (Fig.5),are all Au,Ag,Fe,Cu,Sb,As,Bi,Pb,Zn,Co and Sn enriched,but only Au attained suf ficient ore grades to be economically extracted.Ore minerals include sul fides,native elements,sulfates and oxides (Fig.5),such as pyrite,chalcopy-rite,sphalerite,galena,native gold,electrum and argentite,and ac-counting for up to 10%of the ore by volume.Gangue minerals are mainly quartz,sericite and carbonate.Fine-grained graphite is com-monly present in the ores (Fig.5D).Cataclastic textures and fissure-fillings are commonly observed.Stockworks,veinlets,disseminations,and banded ores are the main ore styles (Fig.5).3.3.Mineralization stages and wallrock alterationOn the basis of the paragenetic sequences of minerals (Fig.6),ore petrography and crosscutting relationships,the ore-forming process can be divided into three stages,namely,an early-stage barren quartz veins or replacement with or without pyrite (Fig.5F),a middlestageFig.3.Lithostratigraphy and ore metal concentrations of the Waitoushan Group.From HBGMR (1994).346J.Zhang et al./Ore Geology Reviews 53(2013)343–356with polymetallic sul fides (Fig.5G,H),and a late stage of quartz –carbonate veinlets (Fig.5I).Abundant pyrite,galena,native gold,electrum and other ore minerals formed in the middle stage.Three stage fluid –rock interactions resulted in wallrock alteration,mainly including silici fication,sericitization,carbonation and chloritization.Silici fication is the most prominent and in the early stage it was pervasive.Locally,the wallrocks were completely re-placed by fine-grained quartz with minor sericite,forming sericite-bearing siliceous replacement and/or quartz veins.In this case,the primary fabrics of wallrocks,such as schistosity and cleavage,cannot be observed because they were obliterated by pervasive silici fication.In general,ore grades increase with increasing intensity of hydrother-mal alteration.4.Samples and analytical methodsMost samples in this study were collected from No.1orebody at Levels of 155,145,115and 75(the digits represent the meters above the sea level).Sampling was carried out taking into account the field recognition of lateral zonation and the three-stage evolution of the mineralization.Rock samples collected from different strata were pulverized in an agate mill under 200meshes.Mineral aggregates were taken from the specimens using tweezers and then were crushed into grains with sizes of 0.1–0.5mm.After panning and filtration,clean mineral grains (quartz,calcite,and sul-fides)were handpicked under the binocular microscope.In order to eliminate other interlocking minerals (e.g.sul fides),quartz separates were soaked in HNO 3-solution at a temperature between 60and 80°C for 12h and rinsed with deionized water.Then the separates were treated 6times using supersonic centrifugal clari fier and rinsed with deionized water for a week.The last rinsed water was monitored by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer to con firm that no ions were left.The samples were dried in an oven before analysis.For sul fides,approximately 10to 50mg were first leached in acetone to remove surface contamination and then washed by distilled water and dried at 60°C in the oven.The carbonate separates were only washed by distilled water and dried at 60°C in the oven.The analytical methods were explained in detail by Ding (1988).The carbon isotopic composition of fluid inclusion was measured on CO 2.Separated from fluid inclusions in quartz and calcite during thermal decrepitation,the CO 2gas was collected and condensed using a liquid nitrogen-alcohol cooling trap (−70°C)for analysis on a MAT-252mass spectrometry.Hydrogen isotope analysis of water contained in fluid in-clusions was collected in a similar manner.After collection the water was puri fied and then reduced using zinc to produce hydrogen which was analyzed on a MAT-253mass spectrograph.To measure oxygen iso-tope ratios,quartz separates were reacted with BrF 5at 500–550°C for at least 5h to generate O 2which was condensed using liquid nitrogen.The collected O 2was converted to CO 2at about 700°C with platinum as cat-alyzer,and then the CO 2was analyzed on MAT-252mass spectrometry.Sulfur isotope ratios in sul fides were analyzed on SO 2using Delta-S mass spectrometer.For lead isotope ratios,approximately 10to 50mg of sul fide samples was first leached in acetone to remove surface contamination and then washed by distilled water and dried at 60°C in the oven.Washed sul fides were dissolved in dilute mix solution of nitric acid and hydro fluoric acid.Following ion exchange chemistry,the lead in the solution was loaded onto rhenium filaments using a phosphoric acid –silica gel emitter.The lead isotopic compositions were measured on MAT-261thermal ioniza-tion mass spectrometer with the standard sample NBS 981.The H –O –C isotopes were measured in the State Key Laboratory of Lithosphere Evolution,Institute of Geology and Geophysics,Chinese Academy of Science.Isotopic data were reported in per mil relative to the Vienna SMOW standard for oxygen and hydrogen,and the Peedee Belemnite limestone (PDB)standard for carbon.Both sulfur and lead isotope analyses were finished at the Open Laboratory of Iso-topic Geochemistry,Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences.The Sul-fur isotopic compositions were reported relative to the Canyon Diablo Triolite (CDT)standard.Total uncertainties were estimated to be bet-ter than ±0.2‰for δ18O,±2.0‰for δD,±0.2‰for δ13C,and ±0.2‰for δ34S at the σlevel respectively.Estimated precision for the 206Pb/204Pb,207Pb/204Pb and 208Pb/204Pb ratios is about 0.1%,0.09%and 0.30%at the 2σlevel respectively.The K –Ar isochron age was analyzed by RGA-10dating system in Key Laboratory of Orogen and Crust Evolution,PekingUniversityFig.4.Simpli fied exploration sections showing orebodies of the Yindongpo Au deposit.Modi fied after HBGMR (1994).347J.Zhang et al./Ore Geology Reviews 53(2013)343–356and the systematic error of K –Ar dating is estimated to be b 4%.The 40Ar/39Ar plateau age was analyzed at the Geochronology Research Laboratory of Queen's University,Ontario,Canada.40Ar/39Ar analyses were performed by standard laser step-heating techniques described in detail by Clark et al.(1998).All data have been corrected for blanks,mass discrimination,and neutron-induced interferences.A plateau age is obtained when the apparent ages of at least three consecutive steps,comprising a minimum of 55%of the 39Ar k released,agreeFig.5.Geology,ore type and mineral assemblages of the Yindongpo gold deposit.A)Heqianzhuang anticline axis shown at an open pit;B)ore-hosting fault developed along the

segment.Errors and isotope-correlation diagrams represent the analytical precision at ±2σ.5.Isotope systematics 5.1.Hydrogen –oxygen isotopesThe δD and δ18O values for the Yindongpo ore deposit are listed in Table 1.The δ18O water was calculated according to the δ18O mineral and trapping temperature of fluid inclusion which was estimated according to homogenization temperature and its pressure correlation.The fluids of early-stage quartz (sample 99H09)have an δ18O water value of about +10.6‰,higher than the maximum for magmatic water,suggesting that the fluids were sourced from metamor-phic devolatilization rather than magmatism (Chen et al.,2005b,2008).It is common knowledge that magmatic fluids are generated from the magma above the temperature of 573°C (lowest eutectic point).The δ18O water ratio of the initial magmatic fluids is not higher than the δ18O quartz of the equilibrated magmatic rocks,due to 1000ln αquartz –water >0when T b 724°C.Hence the maximum δ18O water value of magmatic water was estimated to be 9‰(Fig.7).During continuous cooling and water –rock reaction processes,the δ18O water of magmatic water was reduced again along with the formation of hy-drothermal minerals such as quartz.If the fluids forming the Yindongpo deposit were initially magmatic and still kept δ18O water =+10.6‰when the temperature decreased to 414°C,their initial δ18O water must be far higher than 10.6‰.Such δ18O water value is obviously higher than the estimated maximum for magmatic water,also higher than the δ18O values of granitoids in Qinling –Tongbai Mountains,which range 6.1‰–10.4‰(Chen et al.,2000b ).Thus,the early stage fluid must be metamorphic in origin,instead of magmatic or meteoric,which is further supported by sulfur and lead isotope signatures,discussed ahead.The δ18O values of the middle-stage fluids range from +3.1‰to +5.5‰,averaging +4.9‰;whereas the δD values range from −68‰to −84‰,and average −75‰.Compared to the early-stage fluids,sam-ples of the middle-stage fluids clearly shift towards the meteoric water line (Fig.7),suggesting a signi ficant input of meteoric water into the fluid system.The δ18O water values of late-stage quartz and calcite are between −8.1‰and −3.7‰,averaging −5.9‰.Such low δ18O water values strong-ly indicate that the fluids were mainly sourced from meteoric water.Con-sidering the δD ratios in fluids vary in a narrow range (−65to −85‰)in early and middle stages,we estimate that the late stage δD water values are similar to the middle stage.These measured and estimated δD water values are close to that of Mesozoic meteoric water in Qinling Moun-tains (Fig.7).Assuming that the average δD water value of the late stage is same to that of the middle stage,the late stage samples are close to or shift towards the meteoric water line,especially to the domain of Mesozoic meteoric water in Qinling mountain range (Fig.7),which was drawn by Zhang (1989)from a H –O isotope geochemical study of numerous meteoric hydrothermal deposits formed in Mesozoic.This suggests that the late stage fluids are of meteoric origin.In conclusion,the average δ18O Water values changed from 9.7‰in the early stage,through 4.9‰in the middle stage and −5.9‰in the late stage,with the δD values ranging between −60‰and −90‰,strongly support that the ore fluids of the Yindongpo gold deposit were initially sourced from metamorphic devolatilization,and later changed to mainly meteoric water,from the early to the late stages of the mineralization process.5.2.Carbon isotopesThe δ13C CO 2values of the early-and middle-stage fluids forming the Yindongpo Au deposit widely vary between −3.7‰and +6.7‰,with an average of 1.1‰(Table 1).These values are higher than those of organic matter (ca.−27‰),atmospheric CO 2(−7to −11‰;Hoefs,2004),freshwater carbonate (−9to −20‰:Hoefs,2004),igneous rocks (−3to −30‰:Hoefs,2004;Zheng,1999),continental crust (−7‰:Faure,1986)and the mantle (−5to −7‰:Hoefs,2004);and therefore,the CO 2in the fluids forming the Yindongpo mineral system cannot independently have been supplied by any one or a mixture of the above-mentioned reservoirs.The marine carbonate,which is the carbon reservoir with highest δ13C value (ca.0.5‰;Schidlowski,1998),must be considered as the source of CO 2in the ore fluids,at least as a necessary end-member,considering that released CO 2via decarbonation could have higher δ13C than the residue carbonates (Jiang et al.,2004;Tang et al.,2011,in press ).The δ13C values of the carbonates in Waitoushan Group range from +1.9‰to +2.9‰(Table 1),suggesting that they most likely provided CO 2(with the highest δ13C value of 6.7‰)for the Yindongpo ore fluid-system via metamorphic de-carbonation.The δ13C values of calcite in late-stage veins at Yindongpo deposit range from −2.4‰to −0.6‰(Table 1),and correspond to the δ13C CO 2values of −2.8‰to −1.0‰calculated using the carbon isotope fractionation equation of for calcite –CO 2system (Chacko et al.,1991).The calculated δ13C CO 2values are lower than the δ13C CO 2values of ore-forming fluids in early and middle stages,suggesting that the fluid system was mixed

文章编号:0258-7106(2024)01-0177-18Doi:10.16111/j.0258-7106.2024.01.011粤东金坑锡铜多金属矿燕山期岩浆热液叠加成矿*孙海瑞1,2,吕志成1,2**,李永胜1,2,韩志锐3,于晓飞1,2,杜轶伦1,2(1中国地质调查局发展研究中心,北京100037;2自然资源部矿产勘查技术指导中心,北京100037;3中国工程科学杂志社,北京100029)摘要金坑锡铜多金属矿位于广东莲花山断裂带北东段,是近些年来在粤东地区新发现的典型锡铜多金属矿,关于该矿床的成因类型和成矿机制一直存在较大争议。
矿区勘查工作在马山矿段首次发现伴有明显铜矿化的热液隐爆角砾岩,对于揭示矿床成因具有重要意义。
LA-ICP-MS 锆石U-Pb 年代分析结果显示,花岗质角砾成岩年龄约为150Ma ,εHf (t )值为-8.20~-4.55,二阶段Hf 模式年龄值为1.73~1.49Ga ,指示岩浆主要来自于中元古代地壳物质,并有地幔物质加入。
硫化物原位硫同位素分析结果显示,不同阶段硫化物硫同位素组成具有明显差别。
第一阶段(Py-Ⅰ)和第二阶段(Py-Ⅱ)黄铁矿存在显著的硫同位素变化,前者为-0.65‰~1.11‰(n =5),后者为1.30‰~1.93‰(n =5),与Py-Ⅱ共生黄铜矿同位素值为1.42‰~1.87‰(n =16)。

锂辉石具有多种用途,包括作为锂资源的来源、电池材料以及陶瓷和玻璃工业的原料等。
本文将介绍锂辉石的密度及其相关知识。
2. 密度定义密度是物质单位体积内所含质量的量度。
在国际单位制中,密度的单位为千克每立方米(kg/m³)或克每立方厘米(g/cm³)。
密度可以通过测量物体质量和体积来计算。
3. 锂辉石的密度锂辉石是一种具有相对较高密度的矿物。
根据实验数据和文献资料,锂辉石的密度约为2.6-3.1 g/cm³。

锆石成因矿物学与锆石微区定年的综述发布时间:2021-05-31T13:49:05.760Z 来源:《基层建设》2021年第3期作者:李璇[导读] 摘要:锆石是一种硅酸盐矿物,在中酸性火成岩中很常见,也存在于变质岩和其他沉积物中。
河北地质大学河北石家庄 050031摘要:锆石是一种硅酸盐矿物,在中酸性火成岩中很常见,也存在于变质岩和其他沉积物中。
锆石是地球上形成最古老的矿物之一,因其稳定性好而成为同位素地质年代学最重要的定年矿物。
通过微区原位定年技术,能够给出有关寄主岩石的地质演化历史等重要信息,这可以为地质过程的精细年代学格架的建立提供有效的证据。
文章主要对锆石的微区原位测试技术、锆石的成因类型进行综述,并阐述其存在问题和发展方向。
关键词:锆石成因;微区原位测试;锆石U-Pb法引言传统意义上,锆石一直被视为具有高度稳定性的矿物,能持久保持矿物形成时的物理和化学特征,特别是元素和同位素特征。
普通铅含量低,富含U,Th等放射性元素,离子扩散速率低,封闭温度高等特点,因此被广泛应用于岩石学、矿物学和地球化学研究中。
以精细的锆石矿物学研究为基础,开展同位素定年工作,锆石已成为U-Pb法定年的理想对象。
1.研究现状对锆石的研究现状从以下几个方面进行讨论:锆石按照成因分类分为岩浆锆石、变质锆石和热液锆石。
第一类为岩浆岩中的锆石,岩浆锆石是指在岩浆中结晶形成的锆石,一般锆石自形程度较高,在双目镜下呈现无色透明。
锆石在硅中等饱和-饱和的岩浆岩中较多,在硅不饱和的岩浆岩中则较少,变质岩、沉积岩中可以保留部分原岩岩浆锆石残留核。
岩浆锆石一般具有岩浆振荡环带,通过观察发现一般中基性的岩浆锆石具有较宽的振荡环带,这是因为高温条件下微量元素扩散快;而酸性的岩浆锆石形成的振荡环带较窄,是因为低温条件下微量元素的扩散速度慢。
第二类为变质岩中的锆石,在变质作用过程中形成的锆石。
具有变质成因的锆石可以分为以下三类,包括变质结晶锆石,变质增生锆石和变质重结晶锆石。

锆石结构特征及其研究内容与意义锆石作为一种副矿物广泛存在于各类岩石中,具有耐熔、耐腐蚀的特性,化学性质极其稳定,当原岩经历后期地质作用发生改变时,锆石可以被很好地保存下来。
此外,锆石是U、Th、Hf、REE等微量元素的主要富集矿物,这些元素可以作为测定岩石形成年龄的母同位素或探讨原岩形成过程的重要指示物(Hoskin and Schaltegger, 2003)。
人们对于锆石的研究和利用由来已久且应用广泛,主要包括利用其U-Th-Pb同位素进行年龄计算,Lu-Hf同位素体系和O同位素结合示踪原岩源区,近几年来还增加了对其Zr同位素的研究,这些在地壳和岩石圈地幔的时间演化过程中具有重要意义(Dhuime et al., 2012; Harrison et al., 2005; Valley et al., 2005; Wilde et al., 2001)。
1. 锆石化学成分和内部结构锆石是一种硅酸盐矿物,化学式为Zr[SiO4],除了主要含Zr外,还包括Hf、Nb、Ta、Th和REE等元素。
化学成分是ZrO2一般为67.2wt%,SiO2约32.8wt%。
主要存在于酸性岩和变质岩中,沉积岩中的锆石也是来自风化的火成岩和变质岩,多为碎屑锆石。
根据成因,锆石可以被分为岩浆锆石和变质锆石,观察其内部结构的常用方法有HF酸蚀刻图像、背散射电子(BSE)图像和阴极发光电子(CL)图像。
在CL图像中,部分锆石可见清晰的核边结构。
岩浆锆石通常具有震荡环带结构(图1(a)),少部分有扇形分带的结构。

Copper isotope ratios in magmatic and hydrothermalore-forming environmentsPeter rson *,Kierran Maher,Frank C.Ramos,Zhaoshan Chang,Miguel Gaspar,Lawrence D.MeinertDepartment of Geology,Washington State University,Pullman,WA 99164-2812USAAccepted 7August 2003AbstractMulti-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry nowaccurate measurements of Cu isotope ratios.Copper minerals prepared by direct dissolution with and without purification yield identical Cu isotope ratios within analytic precision of about 0.04x (1r ).Cu isotope ratios have been measured for copper minerals from worldwide magmatic and hydrothermal copper deposits,and for several weathered deposits.Natural variations in d 65Cu values,relative to NBS976,range over 9x .Chalcopyrite samples from mafic intrusions lie within a narrow range of about 1.5x ,and most cluster tightly between À0.10x and À0.20x .This range lies within the broader black smoker chalcopyrite and iron meteorite ranges,and possibly represents a bulk mantle Cu isotope ratio.Most values for hydrothermal native copper from the Michigan native copper district also show a narrow range just larger than 0.1x and suggest a common homogeneous source for Cu in this large hydrothermal ter copper sulfide and arsenide minerals from this district range to values more than 2x lower than native copper.Ratios for chalcopyrite and bornite from moderate to high-temperature porphyry,skarn,and replacement deposits as a group and within individual deposits exhibit a broad range of values.Variations of nearly 1x are observed over distances on the order of 1m.In some cases,these variations may result from multiple mineralization events or copper remobilization during retrograde or later hydrothermal activity.Fractionations between chalcopyrite and bornite,where they occur in the same sample or in related samples,cluster near 0.4x ,suggesting equilibrium Cu isotope fractionation between them at moderate temperatures.In addition,weathering of hydrothermal copper minerals produces a wide range of values in secondary copper phases.In the supergene environment,cuprite typically has higher values than associated native copper.Therefore,redox states appear to exert a significant control over fractionation at low temperatures.Significant questions remain to be answered.Before the source of copper in hydrothermal environments can be fully addressed,source reservoir Cu ratios need to be determined,and chemical and physical factors that control Cu isotope fractionation must be quantitatively defined.D 2003Elsevier B.V .All rights reserved.Keywords:Cu;Isotope geochemistry;Hydrothermal;Mass fractionation1.IntroductionNatural variations in transition metal stable isotopesare now known to be widespread.Isotope ratios for Cr (Ellis et al.,2002),Fe (Beard and Johnson,1999;0009-2541/$-see front matter D 2003Elsevier B.V .All rights reserved.doi:10.1016/j.chemgeo.2003.08.006*Corresponding author.Tel.:+1-509-335-3095.E-mail address:plarson@ (rson)./locate/chemgeoChemical Geology 201(2003)337–350赤铜矿Anbar et al.,2000;Bullen et al.,2001),and Cu (Mare´chal et al.,1999;Zhu et al.,2000)range over several per mil.Variations in the isotope ratios for transition metals may be produced by either abiotic or biotic processes(Bullen et al.,2001).Mass-dependent abiotic fractionations are predicted by molecular vi-bration theory,where heavier isotopes are preferential-ly partitioned into more tightly bonded sites in minerals and aqueous species(Bigeleisen and Mayer, 1947;Urey,1947).Biotic fractionation is produced when microbial activity selectively uses lighter iso-topes to maximize free energy.The magnitudes and relative importance of abiotic and biotic fractionations for transition metal isotopes in earth systems are not well known,nor are their functional dependencies on temperature or other parameters such as redox states.Modern advances in multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(MC-ICPMS) now allow for precise and accurate measurement of transition metal isotope ratios.This has generated a renewed research interest in transition metal isotopes. Walker et al.(1958)and Shields et al.(1965)first used thermal ionization mass spectrometry(TIMS)to in-vestigate the distribution of Cu isotopes in natural samples.They found a range of about12x among both hypogene(primary hydrothermal)and supergene (secondary weathering)Cu ore minerals,although their analytical precision was about1.5x.Precision of Cu ratios measured by MC-ICPMS are typically 0.03–0.04x(1r)for both Zn doping and sample–standard bracketing techniques(Mare´chal et al.,1999; Zhu et al.,2000;Mare´chal and Albare`de,2002). Equilibrium mass-dependent abiotic Cu isotope frac-tionations should decrease with increasing tempera-ture,and,at high hydrothermal and magmatic temperatures(>300j C),equilibrium fractionations are most likely small.Therefore,highly precise meas-urements are required if such small variations among Cu mineral ratios are to be investigated.Cu mineral ratios measured by MC-ICPMS instruments have recently been published(Mare´chal et al.,1999;Zhu et al.,2000),and,together with the data reported here, show a range in d65Cu values(relative to NBS976)of more than9x,comparable to the range in early data reported by Walker et al.(1958)and Shields et al. (1965).Transition metal isotope ratios can provide insight into some longstanding questions associated with hy-drothermal systems.A specific focus of our research explores one such question:what are the sources of metals,in this case Cu,in ore-bearing hydrothermal deposits?There are two significant aspects of this problem.First,are metals derived from magmatic sources or are they leached from wall rocks?Hydro-thermal fluids in porphyry Cu deposits are known,for example,to be derived from two sources.Oxygen and hydrogen isotope analyses of hydrothermal minerals have shown that magmatic fluids dominate the central parts of these systems and that meteoric ground waters can be important in their exterior(Sheppard et al., 1969,1971;Larson,1987;Larson and Taylor,1986; Taylor,1997).Although many workers agree that most, if not all,of the Cu in these systems is contributed by the magma(e.g.,Gustafson and Hunt,1975),the porphyry environment demonstrates that multiple fluid sources could potentially provide distinct sources of Cu to some hydrothermal systems.Second,since Cu in a magma is inherited from the magmatic source(e.g., mantle,crustal,and/or subducted slab),Cu isotope ratios in magmatically derived copper deposits may help to distinguish Cu contributions to such magmas if those sources can be shown to be isotopically distinct. Farmer and DePaolo(1997)have used heavy radio-genic isotope ratios(Sr,Nd,and Pb)in hydrothermal systems to address this question.Their results are interpreted to show that hydrothermal components indeed can be traced back to magmatic sources.We report our first results for Cu isotope ratio measurements on Cu minerals from ore deposits. These data,together with other published Cu isotope ratios on ore minerals,can be used to evaluate the sources of Cu in hydrothermal ore deposits.However, there are many questions that need to be addressed before such data can be fully applied to assessing copper sources in hydrothermal environments.First, how precisely can MC-ICPMS measure Cu isotope ratios and do such ratios appear to vary in any systematic way?Second,the Cu ratios of potential source reservoirs are generally unknown or not well constrained,thus,they need to be characterized.And third,mechanisms that control Cu isotope fraction-ation,such as redox reactions and equilibrium thermo-dynamic fractionations among solids or dissolved aqueous species,and their temperature dependencies, must be known but are only beginning to be experi-mentally investigated.Here,we show that systematicrson et al./Chemical Geology201(2003)337–350 338variations in Cu ratios exist in hydrothermal depositsand report preliminary data on Cu ratio characteristicsof common terrestrial reservoirs.2.Analytical methodologyMC-ICPMS now allows for high-precision isotopeanalysis of Cu,an element which is not normallymeasured by more established techniques(e.g.,TIMS)as a result of its poor ionization efficiency(Walker etal.,1958;Shields et al.,1965).MC-ICPMS overcomessuch limitations by injecting Cu into an argon plasmawhile using multiple collectors to simultaneously mea-sure63Cu and65Cu.In doing so,MC-ICPMS has beenthe catalyst for a resurgence of interest in the field ofCu isotope geochemistry.Initial MC-ICPMS applica-tions(Mare´chal et al.,1999;Zhu et al.,2000)confirmthat naturally occurring Cu isotope fractionations areobserved.Such natural fractionations are,however,limited and require that65Cu/63Cu measurements beboth highly precise and highly reproducible.In an effort to obtain these critical characteristics,two methods of analysis have been pursued.The firstutilizes zinc isotopes(68Zn/64Zn)to constrain andcorrect65Cu/63Cu measurements for mass bias as iscustomary for analyses undertaken by MC-ICPMS(Mare´chal et al.,1999;Mare´chal and Albare`de,2002).Alternatively,a sequence of analyses can beundertaken which brackets a natural sample withanalyses of standards(Zhu et al.,2000)as is custom-arily done for light stable isotopes such as hydrogenand oxygen.Both methods have advantages and draw-backs.When using68Zn/64Zn to correct65Cu/63Cu formass bias,the potential isotopically variable natural Znof a sample must be removed and Zn with a known 68Zn/64Zn must be introduced prior to analysis.This process is essential because natural Zn may not havethe same68Zn/64Zn ratio as the known Zn introducedto the sample.Mixing these two variable Zn isotopereservoirs alters the known68Zn/64Zn normalizingratio and results in inaccurate mass bias correctionsfor Cu isotopes.Typically,Zn is removed from sam-ples using chromatography.Chromatography,howev-er,must be well calibrated and monitored because it canalso fractionate65Cu from63Cu(Mare´chal et al.,1999;Mare´chal and Albare`de,2002).If,however,natural Zncan be successfully removed without fractionating 65Cu/63Cu,normalizing to a known68Zn/64Zn ratio should reasonably correct for mass bias,assumingmass bias is completely a function of mass.In additionto mass bias,isotopic variations resulting from machinedrift(i.e.,variations occurring in the plasma,tempera-ture variations,electronic variations,etc.)will alsoaffect Zn isotopes,and,thus,can be accounted for inthe68Zn/64Zn normalizing process.In contrast,sample–standard bracketing does notrequire either introduction of known Zn or removal ofnatural Zn in a sample.Thus,chromatography is onlyrequired for samples that contain molecular or isobaricinterferences that cannot be successfully stripped fromthe measured results,or that cause matrix effects whichsignificantly impact measured ratios.Sample–stan-dard bracketing,however,may not readily accountfor machine drift,as exemplified by large,non-con-sistent fluctuations in standard values,and,therefore,is best used on machines that either have constant ornegligible drift.The Finnigan Neptune R in the GeoAnalytical Lab-oratory at Washington State University is a newlydesigned MC-ICPMS.It allows for high-precisionmeasurements of both stable and radiogenic isotopeswith minimal instability and machine drift.We haveundertaken an extensive evaluation to constrain theaccuracy and reproducibility of65Cu/63Cu measure-ments on this machine using Cu minerals from a varietyof environments.We have utilized sample–standardbracketing(independent of Zn)to constrain and correct 65Cu/63Cu for mass bias and machine drift.As is critical for sample–standard bracketing,machine drift must beconstant(or absent)to ensure the highest in-run preci-sion and external reproducibility of results(an exampleof a single day’s run is shown in Fig.1).The criticalaspect of these variations is that machine drift of theNeptune is constant(or absent)within analytical un-certainty and can be accurately assessed and correctedfor using bracketed NBS976analyses(note that ourmeasured value for NBS976varies with date,but suchvariations are eliminated during standard normaliza-tion).A line fit to the first NBS976standard suite,April24,2002,reflects0.16x drift over a period of greaterthan8h.The run on June4,2002(Fig.1)shows evenless drift.Drift is relatively constant over this periodand allows for samples to be very accurately correctedfor both machine drift and mass bias.In fact,select daysare characterized by an apparent absence of machinerson et al./Chemical Geology201(2003)337–350339drift over a period of 12h.As a result,sample–standard analyses on the Neptune can successfully measure 65Cu/63Cu independent of Zn.Prior to analysis,Cu minerals were carefully hand-picked and visually inspected to ensure purity.Miner-als were first dissolved in distilled aqua regia for at least 3days.These solutions were then evaporated to dryness and their residual were redissolved in 2%nitric acid and diluted to about 100ppb Cu.Cu ratios are reported in d notation in per mil relative to NBS976(63Cu/65Cu =2.24F 0.0021)which is prepared identi-cally to unknown minerals and used as an operating standard.Each analysis consists of 50isotope ratio

addition to constraining machine drift,results illustrate daily and monthly reproducibility of 65Cu/63Cu.External reproducibility has been evaluated using replicate analyses of two native copper samples,Ray-1(10analyses,Table 5)and LS-10(8analyses,Table 2),run over about a 2-month time span.Means of the replicate analyses are À0.04x and 0.29x ,respec-tively,with standard deviations (1r )of 0.04x for both samples.We have also analyzed two samples purified using anion exchange chromatography (modified fromMare´chal et al.,1999).Results from chalcopyrite (GAC 12PO)have confirmed the absence of both Fe and S in the chromatographically prepared Cu sample,and are well within analytical reproducibility (<0.04x )of non-purified samples.Two analyses of the unpurified sample,run on the same solution,yielded values of À0.01x and À0.07x .Chro-matographically purified Cu from the sample pro-duced a value of À0.03x .Additionally,NBS976copper was chromatographically purified,and yielded a value of 0.05x .Together,these results suggest that the chemical preparation procedures do not result in Cu isotope fractionation,at least for one chalcopyrite sample.Matrix effects resulting from Fe and S on Cu isotope ratios have been evaluated,since both are major con-stituents in chalcopyrite and bornite.100ppb NBS976solutions were doped with Fe and S,at 1and 9ppm,respectively,and analyzed.Neither Fe nor S at these concentrations had any apparent effect on the Cu isotope ratio of the standard,within analytical error.It is important to note that these Fe and S concentrations are much higher (>10times)than would be expected from any diluted copper mineral sample.Also,both native copper and chalcopyrite samples have been doped with Pb.10ppb,100ppb,and 1ppm Pb were added to solutions of native copper sample Ray-1(À0.04x ,n =10,1r =0.04x ),and yielded results of À0.07x ,À0.02x ,and 0.08x ,respectively.10ppb,100ppb,and 1ppm Pb were also added to chalcopyrite sample SUP-1(0.54x ,n =6,1r =0.01x ),and yielded results of 0.57x for both the 10and 100ppb solutions,and 0.61x for the 1ppm solution.These Pb-doping experiments suggest that heavy metal concentrations in the solutions produce negligible matrix effects.3.ResultsSamples from a variety of ore deposit types encom-pass a range in depositional environments and poten-tial Cu sources.Cu isotope ratios for all analyses(Tables 1–5;Mare´chal et al.,1999;Zhu et al.,2000;Luck et al.,2002)vary over a range of about 9x in natural samples,although,with the exception of sev-eral high and low samples,most analyses fall within a range of about 4.0x from À1.5to 2.5.This range shows clearly that Cu isotope fractionation is im-portant in nature.Samples include chalcopyrite from mafic igneous rocks (Table 1),and primary hypo-gene hydrothermal (Tables 2–4)and secondary supergene (Table 5)Cu ore minerals.These data,together with data recently published by Mare´chal et al.(1999);Zhu et al.(2000),and Luck et al.(2002),provide a preliminary basis in which to evaluate the Cu isotope ratios in mafic rocks and perhaps the mantle,add insight into the source of Cu in hydrothermal ore-forming systems,and lead to an assessment of chemical factors that most likely control Cu isotope fractionation in natural environments.Table 5Cu isotope composition of Cu minerals supergene environments in ore deposits

mineral in large mafic intrusions,such as Sudbury, Canada,the Stillwater Complex,Montana,USA,and the Bushveld Complex,South Africa,where it occurs in ore grade concentrations in association with nickel and iron sulfides.Mafic magmas are produced in the mantle.Cu isotope ratios of these mafic magmas could thus represent mantle values if fractionation did not occur during mantle melting or crustal sulfide precip-itation.Assimilation of crustal rocks could potentially add Cu to the magma and modify the mafic magmatic Cu isotope ratios.Indeed,S isotope ratios(Ripley et al.,1999,2000)of magmatic sulfides in layered mafic intrusions often correlate with wall rock values and suggest deep crustal assimilation.Copper in these magmas also may be derived in part from crustal sources.Regardless,it is useful to look at Cu isotope ratios in mafic igneous rocks to constrain their poten-tial for defining mantle Cu ratios.We have analyzed chalcopyrites from two samples from the Sudbury Complex,Canada,(Table1)and compare them to recently published results for this body(Fig.3).We have also analyzed a chalcopyrite from the Stillwater Complex,but this sample has been affected by post-crystallization hydrothermal activity and it will not be discussed further.Zhu et al.(2000)analyzed five chalcopyrite sam-ples from the Sudbury Cu–Ni deposit,Canada.Our two Sudbury analyses,À0.25x and0.16x,lie within the range found by Zhu et al.(2000).The overall range of the analyses is fromÀ0.57to0.40 (four are in the rangeÀ0.25toÀ0.18)with a mean ofÀ0.12x and a standard deviation of0.31.One sample from the Bushveld Complex,South Africa, yielded a value ofÀ0.15x(Zhu et al.,2000).It is interesting to note the similarity between the mean Sudbury value ofÀ0.12and the single Bushveld À0.15value,but the data base is much toolimited Fig.3.Histograms comparing the distribution of d65Cu values for chalcopyrites from mafic igneous rocks and Cu minerals from the Michigan native copper district(Tables1and2).Additional native copper and chalcopyrite data from Mare´chal et al.(1999)and Zhu et al.(2000)are included.For comparison,the range in black smoker chalcopyrite(Mare´chal et al.,1999;Zhu et al.,2000)and meteorite(Luck et al.,2002) d65Cu values are shown.rson et al./Chemical Geology201(2003)337–350343at this time to draw significant conclusions from it.These preliminary data do,however,show that mafic magmas exhibit a range of Cu ratios that is more restricted than the overall terrestrial range.It is unclear if this represents a narrow range of mantle values,variable degrees of crustal assimilation in the magmas,or some combination of source and assimilant varia-tion.Cu ratios in MORBs might also represent mantle values.Although no MORB analyses are available,chalcopyrites from black smoker vents have beenanalyzed (Mare´chal et al.,1999;Zhu et al.,2000).Cu in these hydrothermal deposits is derived through leaching of oceanic crust by deeply circulating heated seawater.Their values range from À0.48x to 1.16x ,and overlap the lower end of the mafic intrusion values,but also extend more than half a per mil higher (Fig.3).The broad range of these values could result from temperature related fluid–mineral Cu isotope fractionation during leaching and/or precipitation.Some meteorites likely represent primordial mate-rial from which the earth formed,and it is interesting to compare their Cu ratios to the mafic sulfide data.Cu ratios from carbonaceous chondrites and iron meteor-ites vary from À1.5x to 0.5x (Luck et al.,2002).Iron meteorites lie in the higher end of this range (À0.5to 0.5x ),and chondrites on the lower end (À1.5x to 0.0x ),with overlap between them.The mafic intrusion Cu ratios span nearly the same range as the iron meteorites (Fig.3).Variations in the meteorite ratios are attributed by Luck et al.(2002)to mixing between two isotopically distinct primordial reservoirs.3.2.Michigan native copper districtThe Proterozoic Michigan native copper deposits were formed by hydrothermal fluids migrating up-dip along permeable horizons in steeply dipping interbed-ded basalts and conglomerates (Butler and Burbank,1929;White,1968).Mineralization is found along nearly 100km of strike length in the Portage Lake lava series,although historically economic zones are restricted to specific intervals (Fig.4).Nearly all of the Cu in the deposits occurs as native copper,although late stage Cu sulfides and arsenides cross cut the earlier native copper in several locations (Butler and Burbank,1929).Fluid inclusion measurements suggest that the hydrothermal alteration and mineralization formed in the interval 150–200j C (Livnat,1983).Six native copper samples from six different mines wereana-Fig.4.Simplified geologic map of the Michigan native copper district,Keweenaw Peninsula,showing d 65Cu values (per mil relative to NBS976)for native copper samples (Table 2).The geology is modified from White (1968).The heavy line running along the center of the peninsula is the near-vertical Keweenaw fault (KF).The Portage Lake lava series (PLLS)west of the fault consists of interbedded basalt and conglomerate and dips steeply to the northwest.The PLLS is overlain by less steeply dipping Nonesuch Shale and Freda Sandstone (NS –FS).The nearly horizontal and younger Jacobsville Sandstone (JS)lies east of the fault.Hydrothermal alteration and copper mineralization are found in the PLLS.The lined areas designate the most economically productive zones,although mineralization can be found throughout the PLLS exposures.P rson et al./Chemical Geology 201(2003)337–350344。
