Characteristics Analysis

The Eastern Tianshan is a type of mineralization belt, Shilipo copper, deposit is new discoveried one at Eastern Tianshan, bearing in maroon basaltic tuff. Some basalt shows red color, which has certain similarity to hematite mineralization development in the Jiweinuo copper deposit. From geochemical characteristics analysis, it is proven that the formation of Eastern Tianshan copper relates to the mineralization of the mantle plumes. That only the Emeishan basalt in Sichuan Province contains the copper in China, which shows the preliminary scale was reported and after that, caused the heated debates. The most thought that the copper has the relation to the mantle plumes. Similar deposit was reported in America as well, such as the Jiweinuo Cu deposit in Subilier Lake. Such make us consider if the formation of the belted copper deposit in Dongtianshan has the relation to the mantle plumes. For confirm this result, we respectively chose two basalt samples from Shilipo and Heilongfeng mineral occurrences in order to analyze their constant, trace and rare earth element content and preliminarily research their geochemical characteristics.

ABSTRACTBi2-xPbxSr2CaCu2O8+d solid solutions with substitution of Sr or Ca by Y, Nd or La were fabricated at 760 - 79°C in N2-flow. The as-synthesized solutions were oxidized in air under isothermal condition and tested with XRD, TGA chemical analysis, TEM, XANES. Effect of rare-earth element content on oxidation kinetics and microstructure of the product is discussed.

AbstractGeochemical characteristics and rare-earth element (REE)-bearing minerals of calc-alkaline granites in southern Myanmar were investigated to identify the minerals controlling fractionation between light and heavyREE(LREE and HREE) during magmatic differentiation and weathering. The granites were classified on the basis of the mineral assemblages into two contrasting groups: allanite-(Ce)- and/or titanite-bearing granites; and more HREE-enriched granites characterized by hydrothermal minerals including synchysite(Y), parisite-(Ce), bastnäsite-(Ce), xenotime-(Y), monazite-(Ce), Y-Ca silicate, waimirite-(Y) and fluorite. This suggests that allanite-(Ce) and titanite are not stable in differentiated magma and HREE are eventually preferentially incorporated into the hydrothermal minerals. The occurrence of theREE-bearing minerals is constrained by the degree of magmatic differentiation and the boundary of two contrasting granite groups is indicated by SiO2contents of ∼74 wt.% or Rb/Sr ratios of ∼3–8. Fractionation between LREE and HREE during weathering of the granites is influenced by weathering resistance of theREE-bearing minerals, i.e. allanite-(Ce), titanite, theREEfluorocarbonates and waimirite-(Y) are probably more susceptible to weathering, whereas zircon, monazite-(Ce) and xenotime-(Y) are resistant to weathering. Ion-exchangeableREEin weathered granites tend to be depleted in HREE relative to the whole-rock compositions, suggesting that HREE are more strongly adsorbed on weathering products or that HREE remain in residual minerals.

Stage Stage

The Tuwu porphyry copper deposit is located on the Dananhu-Haerlik island arc in eastern Tianshan, NW China. Based on geology, petrology, and in situ trace element studies of pyrite and chlorite, we redefined the characteristics of hydrothermal fluids and the following three mineralization stages: premineralization stage (stage Ⅰ), porphyry metallogenic stage (stage Ⅱ), and superimposed transformation stage (stage Ⅲ). Pyrite stage Ⅰ (Py-I) has the highest Co/Ni ratios, and the precipitation crystallization of chlorite (Chl-I2) has the similar rare earth element distribution patterns with those of volcanic rocks Carboniferous Qieshan (CQ), indicating intense volcanic hydrothermal activity. The Co/Ni ratios of Py-II1 and Py-II2 (stage Ⅱ) tend to decrease over time. Moreover, the rare earth element (REE) distribution patterns of Chl-II have similar LREE enrichment, and the Eu anomalies in Chl-II1, Chl-II2, and Chl-II3 range from positive to negative. The initial ore-forming fluid was mainly magmatic hydrothermal fluid, and with the late-stage addition of meteoric water and continuous sulfide precipitation, the trace element composition of the fluid changed, and the whole system became more oxidizing. Py-III (stage Ⅲ) has the lowest Co/Ni ratios, and the REE distribution pattern of Chl-III is characterized by LREE enrichment. Moreover, the Chl-III shows obvious shear deformation characteristics. The results indicate that the host rocks experienced intensely superimposed reformation. By combining and integrating our results with the regional evolution processes in the eastern Tianshan, we propose that the Tuwu porphyry deposit has undergone magmatic hydrothermal and metamorphic hydrothermal processes. Volcanism (stage Ⅰ) provided the space and initial conditions for the emplacement of the metallogenic body. With the emplacement of the plagiogranite porphyry (stage Ⅱ), the main copper mineralization occurred in the porphyry and surrounding rocks. After porphyry mineralization (stage Ⅲ), regional ductile shearing and collisional compression led to a copper reaction, and its accumulation along the faults formed an ore shoot.
