Abstract:The East Qinling molybdenum ore belt is located on the southern margin of North China plate, and the distribution of molybdenum ore deposits are controlled by the NW—NWW trending GushiLuanchuan deep fault zone.The Huangshuian Mo (Pb) deposit is defined to one of the carbonatite veintype by the authors in this paper, thus we have one more example of this type in addition to the existing diposits as Dashigou, Shijawan and Taoyuan etc.in the Huanglongpu area.The molybdenum metal reserves of the ore belt occupies the first place for a singular molybdenum ore belt known in the world. Moreover, the coexistence of the oreforming system for carbonatite veins and that for graniteporphyry is an important characteristic different from other molybdenum ore belts. The results of the study show that the carbonatite veintype Mo (Pb) deposits of Huangshuian and Huanglongpu have δ13C values ranging from-5.3‰ to-7.0‰ and 87Sr/86Sr ratios ranging from 0.7049 to 0.7065. At the same time, the calcites are enriched in light REE(LREE/HREE ratios vary from 1.8∶1 to 2.9∶1). Moybdenit is characterized by high Re content (average value ranging from 110 to 244 ppm). Based on the diagrams showing 87Sr/86Sr vs. 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb vs. 206Pb/204Pb and 143Nd/144Nd vs. 87Sr/86Sr of calcites from the orebearing carbonatite veins, the authors consider that EMI might exist below the continental crust in the region of the ore belt, and these orebearing carbonatite veins are crystalfractionational products of alkaline silicatecarbonate meltsolution originated from the EMI, and molybdenum and lead as oreforming metals should come mainly from EMI. In consideration of the oreforming ages of Huangshuian and Huanglongpu (Dashigou) Mo (Pb) deposits (ReOs ages are 209.5Ma and 221Ma, respectively ), the carbonatite veintype Mo (Pb) deposits should be formed in the extension stage of late Triassic which is postcollisional orogenesis of the North China and Yangzi plates, while the porphyryand porphyryskarntype Mo deposits should be formed in late Jurassicearly Cretacous (ReOs ages ranging from 147Ma to 116Ma) which is also an extension stage after Jurassic intracontinental orogenesis.
