摘要

摘要。地球化学制图是阐明具有重要经济意义的元素的分布和行为的基本工具,并为地质过程提供了宝贵的见解。然而,与地球化学制图相关的不确定性量化问题直到最近才受到广泛关注。本研究提出了一种程序,主要包括确定同质群组、识别每个群组的元素关联以及识别地球化学异常,目的是考虑地球化学制图中元素关联的不确定性。为了说明和验证该程序,我们进行了一项案例研究,对来自中国四川省西北部地区的地球化学溪流沉积物样本进行了处理,以绘制与散生金矿化相关的异常图。结果表明:(1) 元素关联对基础地质过程的代表性是地球化学制图不确定性的重要来源;(2) 本文介绍的程序可有效解决地球化学制图中元素关联的不确定性问题;(3) 研究区域可划分为两个群组,每个群组都有独特的元素关联,分别与古生代和三叠纪岩性单元的分布十分吻合。此外,该地区仍具有发现金矿床的巨大潜力,尤其是在已知矿化点附近的地区。

Mapping geochemical anomalies by accounting for the uncertainty of mineralization-related elemental associations
Abstract. Geochemical mapping is a fundamental tool for elucidating the distribution and behaviour of economically significant elements and providing valuable insights into geological processes. Nevertheless, the quantification of uncertainty associated with geochemical mapping has only recently become a subject of widespread concern. This study presents a procedure that primarily consists of the determination of homogeneous clusters, the recognition of elemental associations for each cluster, and the identification of geochemical anomalies, with the aim of accounting for the uncertainty of elemental association in geochemical mapping. To illustrate and validate the procedure, a case study was conducted wherein geochemical stream-sediment samples from the northwestern region of the province of Sichuan, China, were processed to map anomalies associated with disseminated gold mineralization. The results indicate that (1) the representativeness of elemental association for the underlying geological process is an important source of uncertainty for geochemical mapping; (2) the procedure presented here is effective in addressing the uncertainty of elemental associations in geochemical mapping; and (3) the study area can be classified into two clusters, each characterized by unique elemental associations that align well with the distribution of Paleozoic and Triassic lithological units, respectively. Furthermore, the region still holds great potential for the discovery of gold deposits, particularly in areas proximal to known mineralization sites.

期刊介绍: Solid Earth (SE) is a not-for-profit journal that publishes multidisciplinary research on the composition, structure, dynamics of the Earth from the surface to the deep interior at all spatial and temporal scales. The journal invites contributions encompassing observational, experimental, and theoretical investigations in the form of short communications, research articles, method articles, review articles, and discussion and commentaries on all aspects of the solid Earth (for details see manuscript types). Being interdisciplinary in scope, SE covers the following disciplines: geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, volcanology; geodesy and gravity; geodynamics: numerical and analogue modeling of geoprocesses; geoelectrics and electromagnetics; geomagnetism; geomorphology, morphotectonics, and paleoseismology; rock physics; seismics and seismology; critical zone science (Earth''s permeable near-surface layer); stratigraphy, sedimentology, and palaeontology; rock deformation, structural geology, and tectonics.
