    东昆仑造山带西段锑成矿作用:以黄羊岭–卧龙岗矿集区为例

    Antimony Mineralization in the Western East Kunlun Orogenic Belt: A Case Study of the Huangyangling-Wolonggang Area

    • 摘要: 东昆仑造山带西段发育多处锑矿床,然而目前对其成矿流体演化、成矿物质来源及辉锑矿沉淀机制尚缺乏系统研究。笔者以硝尔库勒、黄羊岭和红山顶锑矿床为研究对象,在详细开展矿床地质特征研究的基础上,开展不同成矿阶段石英流体包裹体显微测温、石英原位微量元素及辉锑矿原位硫同位素分析,探讨区域锑成矿流体性质、成矿物质来源、锑沉淀机制及矿床成因。研究结果表明:3个矿床成矿流体均以气液两相水包裹体为主,属中–低温、低盐度H2O-NaCl体系,主成矿阶段均一温度主要集中于180~200 ℃,成矿深度为1.5~1.9 km;从早阶段至晚阶段,流体温度和成矿深度总体呈协同降低趋势。石英Ti含量整体较低,与流体包裹体测温结果一致;硝尔库勒和黄羊岭主成矿阶段石英Al、Li和Sb含量明显升高,表明流体酸化和锑过饱和对辉锑矿沉淀具有重要作用;而红山顶石英具有高Sb、低Al特征,其辉锑矿沉淀主要受大气降水混合和持续降温控制。辉锑矿δ34S值以负值至低正值为主,其中黄羊岭大多约−4‰,红山顶约为−2‰,硝尔库勒为−1.0‰~+4.9‰,矿石硫主要来自中二叠统黄羊岭组,局部有岩浆硫加入。硝尔库勒和黄羊岭主成矿阶段发生流体沸腾,辉锑矿沉淀主要受减压沸腾、快速冷却和流体酸化共同控制;红山顶则主要受大气降水混合和持续降温控制。综合研究表明,东昆仑西段锑矿床形成于晚三叠世碰撞后–陆内伸展背景,区域岩浆–构造热事件驱动大气降水深循环,热液萃取黄羊岭组中的Sb和S,并沿NE-NNE向断裂向浅部运移,在上述不同机制的联合作用下沉淀成矿,总体属中–低温热液脉型锑矿床。

       

      Abstract: Numerous Sb deposits occur in the western segment of the East Kunlun Orogenic Belt, yet their ore-fluid evolution, sources of ore-forming materials, and mechanisms of stibnite precipitation remain poorly constrained. This study focuses on the Xiaoerkule, Huangyangling, and Hongshanding Sb deposits. Based on detailed deposit-scale geological investigations, we conducted fluid-inclusion microthermometry on quartz, in situ trace-element analyses of quartz, and in situ sulfur-isotope analyses of stibnite from successive mineralization stages, aiming to characterize the ore-forming fluids, trace the sources of metals and sulfur, elucidate the mechanisms of Sb precipitation, and constrain the deposit genesis. The ore-forming fluids in all three deposits are dominated by aqueous liquid-vapor inclusions and belong to medium- to low-temperature, low-salinity H2O-NaCl systems. Homogenization temperatures during the main ore stage are concentrated at 180–200 °C, with estimated mineralization depths of 1.5 to 1.9 km. From early to late stages, both fluid temperature and mineralization depth decrease systematically. Quartz from the three deposits is characterized by generally low Ti concentrations, consistent with the fluid-inclusion microthermometric results. At Xiaoerkule and Huangyangling, Al, Li, and Sb concentrations in quartz of main ore stage increase notably, indicating that fluid acidification and Sb supersaturation played important roles in stibnite precipitation. In contrast, quartz from Hongshanding displays high Sb but low Al concentrations, suggesting that stibnite precipitation was mainly controlled by meteoric-water mixing and sustained cooling. Stibnite δ34S values are predominantly negative to slightly positive, clustering at approximately −4‰ at Huangyangling, −2‰ at Hongshanding, and ranging from −1.0‰ to +4.9‰ at Xiaoerkule. These isotopic compositions indicate that the ore-forming sulfur was mainly derived from the Middle Permian Huangyangling Formation, with local addition of magmatic sulfur. Fluid boiling occurred during the main ore stage at Xiaoerkule and Huangyangling, where stibnite precipitation was jointly controlled by decompression boiling, rapid cooling, and fluid acidification; at Hongshanding, it was governed primarily by meteoric-water mixing and sustained cooling. Collectively, the Sb deposits in the western East Kunlun formed in a Late Triassic post-collisional to intracontinental extensional setting. A regional magmatic–tectonic thermal event drove deep circulation of meteoric water, enabling hydrothermal fluids to leach Sb and S from the Huangyangling Formation and transport them upward along NE–NNE-trending faults. Ore deposition was subsequently triggered by the combined effects of the above mechanisms. The deposits are therefore classified as medium- to low-temperature hydrothermal vein-type Sb deposits.
