    摘要:

    The Talate Pb–Zn deposit, located in the east of the NW–SE extending Devonian Kelan volcanic-sedimentary basin of the southern Altaides, occurs in the metamorphic rock series of the upper second lithological section of the lower Devonian lower Kangbutiebao Formation (D1k12). The Pb–Zn orebodies are stratiform and overprinted by late sulfide–quartz veins. Two distinct mineralization periods were identified: a submarine volcanic sedimentary exhalation period and a metamorphic hydrothermal mineralization period. The metamorphic overprinting period can be further divided into two stages: an early stage characterized by bedding-parallel lentoid quartz veins developed in the chlorite schist and leptite of the ore-bearing horizon, and a late stage represented by pyrite–chalcopyrite–quartz veins crosscutting chlorite schist and leptite or the massive Pb–Zn ores. Fluid inclusions in the early metamorphic quartz veins are mainly CO2–H2O–NaCl and carbonic (CO2±CH4±N2) inclusions with minor aqueous inclusions. The CO2–H2O–NaCl inclusions have homogenization temperatures of 294–368°C, Tm,CO2 of ?62.6 to ?60.5°C, Th,CO2 of 7.7 to 29.6°C (homogenized into liquid), and salinities of 5.5–7.4 wt% NaCl eqv. The carbonic inclusions have Tm, CO2 of ?60.1 to ?58.5°C, and Th, CO2 of ?4.2 to 20.6°C. Fluid inclusions in late sulfide quartz veins are also dominated by CO2–H2O–NaCl and CO2±CH4 inclusions. The CO2–H2O–NaCl inclusions have Th,tot of 142 to 360°C, Tm,CO2 of ?66.0 to ?56.6°C, Th,CO2 of ?6.0 to 29.4°C (homogenized into liquid) and salinities of 2.4–16.5 wt% NaCl eqv. The carbonic inclusions have Tm, CO2 of ?61.5 to ?57.3°C, and Th, CO2 of ?27.0 to 28.7°C. The aqueous inclusions (L-V) have Tm,ice of ?9.8 to ?1.3°C and Th,tot of 205 to 412°C. The P–T trapping conditions of CO2-rich fluid inclusions (100–370 MPa, 250–368°C) are comparable with the late- to post-regional metamorphism conditions. The CO2-rich fluids, possibly derived from regional metamorphism, were involved in the reworking and metal enrichment of the primary ores. Based on these results, the Talate Pb–Zn deposit is classified as a VMS deposit modified by metamorphic fluids. The massive Pb–Zn ores with banded and breccia structures were developed in the early period of submarine volcanic sedimentary exhalation associated with an extensional subduction-related back-arc basin, and the quartz veins bearing polymetallic sulfides were formed in the late period of metamorphic hydrothermal superimposition related to the Permian–Triassic continental collision.

    Abstract:

    The Talate Pb–Zn deposit, located in the east of the NW–SE extending Devonian Kelan volcanic-sedimentary basin of the southern Altaides, occurs in the metamorphic rock series of the upper second lithological section of the lower Devonian lower Kangbutiebao Formation (D1k12). The Pb–Zn orebodies are stratiform and overprinted by late sulfide–quartz veins. Two distinct mineralization periods were identified: a submarine volcanic sedimentary exhalation period and a metamorphic hydrothermal mineralization period. The metamorphic overprinting period can be further divided into two stages: an early stage characterized by bedding-parallel lentoid quartz veins developed in the chlorite schist and leptite of the ore-bearing horizon, and a late stage represented by pyrite–chalcopyrite–quartz veins crosscutting chlorite schist and leptite or the massive Pb–Zn ores. Fluid inclusions in the early metamorphic quartz veins are mainly CO2–H2O–NaCl and carbonic (CO2±CH4±N2) inclusions with minor aqueous inclusions. The CO2–H2O–NaCl inclusions have homogenization temperatures of 294–368°C, Tm,CO2 of ?62.6 to ?60.5°C, Th,CO2 of 7.7 to 29.6°C (homogenized into liquid), and salinities of 5.5–7.4 wt% NaCl eqv. The carbonic inclusions have Tm, CO2 of ?60.1 to ?58.5°C, and Th, CO2 of ?4.2 to 20.6°C. Fluid inclusions in late sulfide quartz veins are also dominated by CO2–H2O–NaCl and CO2±CH4 inclusions. The CO2–H2O–NaCl inclusions have Th,tot of 142 to 360°C, Tm,CO2 of ?66.0 to ?56.6°C, Th,CO2 of ?6.0 to 29.4°C (homogenized into liquid) and salinities of 2.4–16.5 wt% NaCl eqv.

The P–T trapping conditions of CO2-rich fluid inclusions (100–370 MPa, 250–368°C) are comparable with the late- to post-regional metamorphism conditions.
