The timing of gold mineralization at Kumishi, however, has been poorly constrained owing to the absence of suitable dating minerals. Hydrothermal activity at Wuzunbulake is divided into the pre-ore stage 1 pyrite-quartz, <em>syn</em>-ore stage 2 quartz(-sulfide) and post-ore stage 3 quartz-calcite alteration/mineralization. Three types of pyrite have been recognized, i.e., Py<sub>1</sub> (stage 1), Py<sub>2</sub> (stage 2), and Py<sub>WR</sub> (from wallrock). Our in-situ Rb<img>Sr dating on stage 2 sericite yielded an isochron age of 351.0 ± 17.4 Ma, indicating Early Carboniferous gold mineralization. Py<sub>1</sub> and Py<sub>2</sub> have δ<sup>34</sup>S<sub>ΣS</sub> = 8.28–15.97 ‰ (avg. 12.88 ‰) and 6.92–8.70 ‰ (avg. 7.67 ‰), respectively, indicating that the sulfur in Py<sub>1</sub> was metamorphic fluid sourced, while that of Py<sub>2</sub> may have a mixed metamorphic fluid and wallrock source (0.84–3.27 ‰; avg. 2.31 ‰). For Py<sub>1</sub>, its contents of Au, As, Ag, Bi, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Tl are the lowest. Py<sub>2</sub> has significantly higher Au-As-Ag, slightly higher Co-Cu-Ni-Sb-Tl, but lower Bi-Mn-Pb contents than those in Py<sub>WR</sub>. Considering also the sulfur isotope features, we considered that Py<sub>1</sub> was primarily originated from the initial ore-forming fluid, and Py<sub>2</sub> was derived from both the ore fluid and Py<sub>WR</sub>, with the former being more important and represents the source of gold. Based on that Py<sub>2</sub> was formed by metasomatism on the Py<sub>WR</sub> margin and the element spatial coupling characteristics shown in EPMA geochemical maps, we inferred that the Au enrichment and precipitation are associated with fluid-rock reactions. The initial ore fluid is likely featured by the enrichments in Au, As, Ag, Co, Cu, Ni, Sb, Tl, and depletions in Bi, Mn, and Pb. The Wuzunbulake is best classified as an orogenic gold deposit based on its tectonic background, wallrock alteration style, and the ore-fluid source and characteristics.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geochemical Exploration","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142167190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, the optimal parameter based geographic detector (OPGD) model was used to identify the driving factors and interactions of natural variables (such as strata, soil organic matter, terrain, etc.) and human activity variables (such as distance from mining sites (DFM), distance from road (DFR), population density (DOP), etc.) on the spatial accumulation of soil HMs in the region. The findings revealed that the average concentrations of all HMs exceeded the corresponding background values of soil in Guizhou Province. Cd had the highest accumulation, followed by Cu, Ni, and Cr. Moran's I and inverse distance interpolation results showed clear clustering trends in the spatial distribution of HMs. The high-high clusters of Cd, Pb, and Zn were concentrated in the northern and southern parts of the study area, while the high-high clusters of Ni, Cr, and Cu were distributed mainly in the eastern and western parts of the study area. OPGD analysis results indicated that soil Cd, Pb, and Zn accumulation was influenced primarily by SOM, DFM, and stratigraphic distribution, followed by pH and soil type. Whereas Ni, Cr, and Cu were mainly affected by stratigraphic distribution. Additionally, DOP, terrain, and soil type were secondary factors affecting the accumulation of these three types of HMs. Notably, the interactive effects among these factors were found to have a more significant impact on HMs accumulation than individual factors alone.

In recent years, substantial advancements have been achieved in Ni-Co resource exploration within China, generating a promising prospect for future discoveries. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of significant Ni and Co mineralization events in China, covering metallogenic provinces, deposit types, metallogenic epochs, and associated tectonic settings. Sedimentary Co deposits predominantly formed during the middle Paleoproterozoic (2200–1800 Ma) and early Mesoproterozoic (1600–1400 Ma) ages. In contrast, magmatic Ni-Co and hydrothermal metasomatic Co deposits are concentrated in the early Neoproterozoic (1100–700 Ma) and Paleozoic (220–430 Ma) ages. The intricate correlation between magmatic Ni-Co and hydrothermal metasomatic Co mineralization is linked to the evolution of primitive komatiitic and tholeiitic basalts. The formation of mineralized mafic-ultramafic intrusive rocks is identified as a key factor in the formation of magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide deposits, with the exception of sedimentary Co deposits, which represent a distinct geological event. The primary source of Ni-Co deposits in China can be attributed to a pyroxene-enriched mantle magma source. This is supported by platinum-group element (PGE) characteristics of magmatic Ni-Co deposits, which consistently indicate mineralization associated with partial melting processes within the mantle. Furthermore, sulfur (S) and rhenium-osmium (Re-Os) isotopes in magmatic Ni-Co deposits reveal that crustal materials played a significant role in sulfur saturation during magmatic differentiation and mineralization. Ni-Co resources in China primarily consist of orogenic Ni-Co deposits, intricately linked to the multi-stage orogenic events that shaped the region's geological history. The orogenic Ni-Co system in China exhibits a distinctive profile marked by multi-stage and diversified mineralization. This includes the accumulation of Ni metal through prior mineralization events and the subsequent superposition of Co within pre-existing ore belts, reflecting complex geological processes and interactions. This review aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of Ni and Co resources in China, facilitating future exploration and resource management strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geochemical Exploration","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142007036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two main zones of mineralization are distinguished: an exposed upper zone composed essentially of smithsonite, hydrozincite, hemimorphite, goethite, and hematite with relics of galena, and a lower zone composed mainly of galena, sphalerite, and pyrite with minor amounts of marcasite. Geochemically, these deposits are depleted in Na, K, Al, Ti, and Nb but are enriched in Mo, Cd, and As. The chondrite-normalized patterns of Pb-Zn-bearing samples show pronounced negative Ce and Eu anomalies, whereas the pattern of the host rocks shows a distinctive pattern with pronounced negative Ce and positive Eu anomalies. The isotope geochemistry analysis of the present lead‑zinc-host rocks shows negative values of δ<sup>18</sup>O and δ<sup>13</sup>C in the saddle dolomite-II, dolomite-III, and Zn-dolomite, all of which reflect the effects of dolomitization by hydrothermal fluids. Based on mode of occurrence, texture, mineralogy, and geochemistry, the studied lead‑zinc deposits were formed in two stages: an early stage marked by the participation of primary sulfide ores from hydrothermal solutions, and a late stage involving the replacement of the precursor primary sulfides by means of surface water. These Pb-Zn ore deposits hosted in carbonate rocks are genetically considered to be of Mississippi Valley-type and could constitute important clues, taking into account their wide distribution, for the exploration of new targets of lead‑zinc in addition to a better understanding of the origin of lead‑zinc deposits in the Middle East area and provides important information to improve future mining in the area.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geochemical Exploration","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141993569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
