摘要
The Huzhagaitu molybdenum deposit is a newly discovered porphyry deposit in the middle segment of the Derbugan metallogenic belt in Inner Mongolia. The molybdenum orebodies are mainly hosted within the Early Yanshan granodiorite, and its contact zone with rhyolite. The deposit is dominated by molybdenum mineralization and pyrite mineralization, accompanied by lead-zinc mineralization and a small amount of copper mineralization. The ore-forming process can be divided into four stages: silicification stage, quartz-molybdenum stage, quartz-polymetallic sulphide stage, and quartz-calcite stage. There are four types of fluid inclusions: liquid-rich phase inclusions, vapor-rich phase inclusions, multiphase inclusions including daughter minerals and CO2-bearing three-phase inclusions. With the main mineralization stage as the focus of our research, this study carried out microscopic temperature measurement and laser Raman microprobe analysis for the inclusions in quartz or calcite in different mineralization stages (stage II to IV). The results show that the homogenization temperatures of the inclusions in the quartz-molybdenum-pyrite stage are mainly concentrated between 280℃ and 400℃, and the salinities vary from 2.57% to 51.68%. In this stage, vapor-rich phase inclusions and multiphase inclusions including daughter minerals coexist with CO2-bearing three-phase inclusions. The liquid phase composition of L-type inclusions is mainly H2O-NaCl. The gas phase composition of V-type inclusions is mainly H2O, and some of them also contain CO2. Characteristic peak of laser Raman shift of daughter mineral chalcopyrite was detected in halite-bearing three phase inclusions. In the quartz-pyrite stage with lead-zinc mineralization and chalcopyrite mineralization, the homogenization temperatures of the inclusions are concentrated between 180℃ and 280℃, and the salinities vary from 0.18% to 9.73%. In late stage, only L-type inclusions occur in quartz-calcite veins, with the homogenization temperatures mainly ranging between 140℃ and 240℃, salinities varying from 0.35% to 7.17%. Combined with the latest research results, this paper suggests that the initial fluid of the deposit was magmatic fluid characterized by medium salinity and medium density. In the main stage of mineralization, the boiling of ore-forming fluid due to pressure release resulted in sudden change of the physical and chemical conditions of the ore-forming fluid system and the oxidation-reduction environment, causing the unloading and precipitation of molybdenite and other sulfide minerals in vein fractures. © 2019, Science Press.
