摘要
Detailed field investigation and petrological observation on the Tudiping Pb-Zn deposit indicated that the mineralization could be subdivided into three stages: (Ⅰ) sphalerite-dolomite, (Ⅱ) sphalerite-galena-barite-fluorite and (Ⅲ) galena-calcite stages. A comparative investigation was performed on fluid inclusions trapped in sphalerite and coexisting gangue minerals, by (infrared) microthermometry and laser Raman analysis. The results reveal that the ore-forming fluid is a moderate-low temperature, moderate-high salinity NaCl-MgCl2-H2O system with considerable amounts of CaCl2 at stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ, and a low temperature and moderate salinity NaCl-H2O system at stage Ⅲ. The vapor phase composition comprises H2O, CH4 and H2S, and the concentrations of the reductive gas increase from stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ and decrease from stage Ⅱ to Ⅲ. Both fluid inclusions trapped in sphalerite and coexisting gangue minerals are featured by fluid mixing and oxygen fugacity change, indicative of being derived from the same fluid system. However, an evolution delay was found in fluid inclusions trapped in sphalerite. The ore deposition is related to thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) under the background of fluid mixing at stages Ⅰ and Ⅱ, and influenced by dilution and cooling resulting from meteoric water at stage Ⅲ. The coupling effect between TSR and carbonate dissolution plays a significant role in the ore deposition mechanism of the Tudiping Pb-Zn deposit. © 2018, Science Press. All right reserved.
