Geology and Geochemistry of Molybdenum Deposits in the Qinling Orogen, P R China

Part of the book series: Modern Approaches in Solid Earth Sciences ((MASE,volume 22))

Abstract

Porphyry Mo deposits (PMDs) are classified as Endako-, Climax-, and Dabie-types, occurring in continental arcs, rifts or back-arc basins, and continental collision orogens, respectively. PMDs in Qinling Orogen include Endako- and Dabie-types. The Indosinian PMDs belong to Endako-type, as exemplified by Wenquan deposit. They are limited to the South Qinling Fold Belt, associated with (high-K) calc-alkaline granitic porphyries developed in a continental arc related to the northward subduction of the Mianlue oceanic plate. The ore fluids are characterized by high-salinity and are CO2-poor, resulting in intense phyllic, propylitic, and argillic alteration, but weak potassic alteration. The Yanshanian PMDs have developed in post-collisional setting, and cluster in the Huaxiong Block. They are characterized by high-K calc-alkaline intrusions, CO2-rich fluids, and strong K-feldspar, carbonate and fluorite alteration, but weak phyllic and propylitic alteration, and thus assigned to Dabie-type. Four giant PMDs are introduced, which are hosted in granite (Yuchiling), high-grade metamorphic rocks (Leimengou), unmetamorphosed volcanics (Donggou), and volcanic-sedimentary rocks (Jinduicheng). Location of their ore bodies ranges from in-porphyry (Yuchiling and Leimengou), through both the porphyry and host rocks (Jinduicheng), to out-porphyry host rocks (Donggou). Porphyry-type mineralization generally includes four stages: (1) magmatic fluids, (2) magmatic fluid boiling, (3) magmatic-meteoric mixing, and (4) meteoric water circulating.
