主 题:polymetallic multiple period and stage mineralization overprinting and remobilization,orogenic belt Zhaxikang Tibet
摘 要:The Zhaxikang Pb-Zn-Ag-Sb deposit, the largest polymetallic deposit known in the Himalayan Orogen of southern Tibet, is characterized by vein-type mineralization that hosts multiple mineral assemblages and complicated metal associations. The deposit consists of at least six steeply dipping vein- type orebodies that are hosted by Early Jurassic black carbonaceous slates and are controlled by a Cenozoic N-S-striking normal fault system. This deposit records multiple stages of mineralization that include an early period (A) of massive coarse-grained galena-sphalerite deposition and a later period (B) of Sb-bearing vein-type mineralization. Period A is only associated with galena-sphalerite mineralization, whereas period B can be subdivided into ferrous rhodochrosite-sphalerite-pyrite, quartz -sulfosalt-sphalerite, calcite-pyrite, quartz-stibnite, and quartz-only stages of mineralization. The formation of brecciated galena and sphalerite ores during period A implies reworking of pre-existing Pb -Zn sulfides by Cenozoic tectonic deformation, whereas period B mineralization records extensive open- space filling during ore formation. Fluid inclusion microthermometric data indicate that both periods A and B were associated with low-medium temperature (187-267℃) and low salinity (4.00-10.18% wt. NaCl equivalent) ore-forming fluids, although variations in the physical-chemical nature of the period B fluids suggest that this phase of mineralization was characterized by variable water/rock ratios. Microprobe analyses indicate that Fe concentrations in sphalerite decrease from period A to period B, and can be divided into three groups with FeS concentrations of 8.999-9.577, 7.125-9.109, 5.438-1.460 mol.%. The concentrations of Zn, Sb, Pb, and Ag within orebodies in the study area are normally distributed in both lateral and vertical directions, and Pb, Sb, and/or Ag concentrations are positive correlation within the central part of these orebodies, but negatively correlate in th
