摘要：
Ratios of Na/Br, Br/CI, and I/CI were determined on leachates of fluid inclusions from the Broken Hill Pb-ZnAg deposit in Australia. Paragenetic relations suggest that whereas all analyzed inclusions formed during or after regional metamorphism, ion ratios are not greatly changed from those of the pre-metamorphic ore-forming fluids. Based on relatively high Br/CI and I/CI ratios, and low Na/Br ratios, we suggest that the high salinities that characterize Broken Hill fluid inclusions reflect a source dominated by evaporated seawater and not dissolved evaporites.
