Abstract

Neoproterozoic granitic magmatism and associated mineralization in the western Yangtze Block (WYB), South China, records the assembly and breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent, making it a key window for understanding the tectonic evolution and associated dynamic process of the Rodinia supercontinent. In this paper, we present an integrated study on petrology, petrography, geochemistry, zircon U-Pb-Hf isotope, vesuvianite U-Pb and muscovite Rb-Sr geochronology for the W-rich granitic plutons (Xiacun and Shunhe plutons) and ore-bearing granitic dikes from the newly discovered Neoproterozoic Huili tungsten deposit in the WYB. Our objective is to provide vital constraint on the mineralization age and metallogenic geodynamic setting of the Neoproterozoic Huili tungsten deposit in the WYB. The ore body is characterized by skarn-type and quartz vein-type mineralization with main ore mineral of scheelite and gangue minerals of vesuvianite, muscovite and diopside. Zircon U-Pb dating indicates the granitic plutons and granitic dikes emplaced at ca. 845 Ma and 824 Ma, respectively. The vesuvianite U-Pb age and muscovite Rb-Sr isochron age are ca. 826–818 Ma and 822 Ma, respectively, indicating the tungsten mineralization was coeval with the crystallization of the granitic dikes. Petrology and geochemical studies reveal that the granitic dikes and the Shunhe pluton are highly fractionated S-type granite, while the Xiacun pluton belongs to unfractionated S-type granite. The granitic plutons have uniform and weakly enriched zircon Lu-Hf isotopes (εHf(t) = -3.08 ∼ -0.22), while the granitic dikes have varied zircon Hf isotopes (εHf(t) = -10.57 ∼ 4.64). Zircon Lu-Hf isotopes, as well as their varied whole-rock geochemical compositions, indicate that the Xiacun and Shunhe granitic plutons mainly originate from partial melting of Middle Paleoproterozoic crust, while the ore-bearing granitic dikes are mainly derived from the melting of heterogeneous Middle Paleoproterozoic crust, followed by significant fractional crystallization of feldspar, biotite and accessory minerals. Petrological, geochronological and geochemical data compilation reveals that the studied ca. 845 Ma granitic plutons and ca. 824 Ma W-mineralized granitic dikes were formed in a progressive subduction and a back-arc extension setting, respectively, and the Neoproterozoic back-arc extension-related granitic magmatism during the breakup of Rodinia supercontinent may be beneficial for the tungsten mineralization.

华南扬子地块西部新近新生代钨矿化及相关花岗岩岩浆活动:成矿时代、岩石成因和地球动力学影响
华南西部扬子地块的新近新生代花岗岩岩浆活动及相关成矿作用记录了罗迪尼亚超大陆的组装和解体过程,是了解罗迪尼亚超大陆构造演化及相关动力过程的重要窗口。在本文中,我们综合研究了WYB新近发现的新元古代会理钨矿床中富W花岗质柱岩(下村柱岩和顺河柱岩)和含矿花岗岩岩脉的岩石学、岩相学、地球化学、锆石U-Pb-Hf同位素、蛭石U-Pb和蕈云母Rb-Sr地质年代。我们的目标是为瓦屋湾新新生代会理钨矿床的成矿时代和成矿地球动力学环境提供重要的约束。该矿体以矽卡岩型和石英脉型矿化为特征,主要矿石矿物为白钨矿,夹杂矿物为白钨矿、黝帘石和透辉石。锆石 U-Pb 测定结果表明,花岗岩柱岩和花岗岩尖晶石的形成年代分别约为 845 Ma 和 824 Ma。845 Ma 和 824 Ma。蛭石的 U-Pb 年龄和黝帘石的 Rb-Sr 等时线年龄分别约为 826-818 Ma 和 822 Ma。分别为 826-818 Ma 和 822 Ma,表明钨矿化与花岗岩尖晶石的结晶同时发生。岩石学和地球化学研究表明,花岗质岩峰和顺河岩体属于高度分馏的 S 型花岗岩,而下村岩体则属于未分馏的 S 型花岗岩。花岗质岩体的锆石Lu-Hf同位素均匀且富集程度较弱(εHf(t) = -3.08 ∼ -0.22),而花岗质岩体的锆石Hf同位素变化较大(εHf(t) = -10.57 ∼ 4.64)。锆石Lu-Hf同位素及其不同的全岩地球化学成分表明,下村和顺河花岗岩柱岩主要源于中古生界地壳的部分熔融,而含矿花岗岩尖晶岩则主要源于中古生界异质地壳的熔融,其次是长石、斜长石和附属矿物的大量分块结晶。岩石学、地质年代学和地球化学数据汇编显示,所研究的约 845 Ma 花岗岩柱岩和约 824 Ma W 矿化花岗岩埂岩分别形成于渐进俯冲和弧后延伸环境中,罗迪尼亚超大陆解体过程中与新元古代弧后延伸相关的花岗岩岩浆活动可能有利于钨矿化。

期刊介绍: Precambrian Research publishes studies on all aspects of the early stages of the composition, structure and evolution of the Earth and its planetary neighbours. With a focus on process-oriented and comparative studies, it covers, but is not restricted to, subjects such as: (1) Chemical, biological, biochemical and cosmochemical evolution; the origin of life; the evolution of the oceans and atmosphere; the early fossil record; palaeobiology; (2) Geochronology and isotope and elemental geochemistry; (3) Precambrian mineral deposits; (4) Geophysical aspects of the early Earth and Precambrian terrains; (5) Nature, formation and evolution of the Precambrian lithosphere and mantle including magmatic, depositional, metamorphic and tectonic processes. In addition, the editors particularly welcome integrated process-oriented studies that involve a combination of the above fields and comparative studies that demonstrate the effect of Precambrian evolution on Phanerozoic earth system processes. Regional and localised studies of Precambrian phenomena are considered appropriate only when the detail and quality allow illustration of a wider process, or when significant gaps in basic knowledge of a particular area can be filled.
