Abstract
Shizhuyuan is a world-class W-Sn supergiant polymetallic deposit, with a large area of potential mineralization around it.
Dicranopteris dichotoma,
widely distributed in the Shizhuyuan mining area, were sampled. Biogeochemical and Number-Size fractal methods were used to evaluate the biogeochemical characteristics of trace elements in the samples and the feasibility of indicating subsurface mineral deposits. The results reveal that
D. dichotoma
not only has strong uptake of the active state of metal elements (Zn, Mo, Cd, Sn, etc.) in the soil, but also shows the geochemical anomalies of Zn, Fe, Tl, Ag, Pb, U, As, Bi, Cd, Mo and Sn in the study area. The Number-Size fractal method can effectively identify the concentration populations of biogeochemical target elements and obtain convincing anomaly thresholds. Analysis of the metal content of
D. dichotoma
is an effective tool for biogeochemical exploration of Pb-Zn-U hydrothermal deposits in the study area. Zinc as well as U are target elements, and Tl appears to be an effective pathfinder element for Zn-Pb-U mineralization. In addition, 260-340 m of Line 3
#
and 1100-1200 m of Line 8
#
are the key areas for future exploration of lead-zinc-uranium hydrothermal deposits.
期刊介绍:
Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment, Analysis (GEEA) is a co-owned journal of the Geological Society of London and the Association of Applied Geochemists (AAG).
GEEA focuses on mineral exploration using geochemistry; related fields also covered include geoanalysis, the development of methods and techniques used to analyse geochemical materials such as rocks, soils, sediments, waters and vegetation, and environmental issues associated with mining and source apportionment.
GEEA is well-known for its thematic sets on hot topics and regularly publishes papers from the biennial International Applied Geochemistry Symposium (IAGS).
Papers that seek to integrate geological, geochemical and geophysical methods of exploration are particularly welcome, as are those that concern geochemical mapping and those that comprise case histories. Given the many links between exploration and environmental geochemistry, the journal encourages the exchange of concepts and data; in particular, to differentiate various sources of elements.
GEEA publishes research articles; discussion papers; book reviews; editorial content and thematic sets.
