摘要
The Tuwu-Yandong porphyry copper belt lies in the eastern Tianshan mountains, eastern section of the Central Asian orogenic belt. The copper mineralization is mainly hosted in plagiogranite porphyries intruded into early Carboniferous volcanic rocks of the Paleozoic Dananhu island arc between the Tarim and Siberian plates. The plagiogranite porphyries have contents of 65-73 wt% SiO2, 14-17 wt% Al2O3, 0.9-2.2 wt% MgO, 3-16 ppm Y, 0.4-1.40 ppm Yb, 347-920 ppm Sr, and positive Eu anomalies. The rocks also exhibit positive epsilon(Nd(t)) values (+5.0 to +9.4) and low initial Sr-87/Sr-86 values (0.70316-0.70378). Such features are similar to those of adakites derived from partial melting of a subduction-related oceanic slab. The mineralization age is early Carboniferous (350-320 Ma), which is close to that of the porphyries. The close relationship between the Cu mineralization and the porphyry is also indicated by their similar Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic compositions. We suggest that the copper porphyry (magma) system in the Dananhu island arc was formed by direct melting of an obliquely subducting early Carboniferous oceanic slab.
