    Abstract:

    The Tan- Lu Fault Belt (TLFB) on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean is the most important deep fault zone in east China and even northeast Asia. Due to its control on the magmatic activities in eastern China, and the main solid mineral (eg, gold polymetallic, diamond, etc) and energy (oil and gas, uranium, coal, etc) resources, the southern segment of the fault is also called the Yi- Shu fault belt. On the eastern side of the fault zone the most important gold ore belt in China, the Jiaodong gold ore belt is situated. On the western side, the Mengyin kimberlite clusters hosting the diamond ore and the oil fields such as the Shengli oilfield are located. Thus, research on the TLFB is of great theoretical and economic importance. By using Automatic Mineral Identification & Characterization System (AMICS) with support from the field emission scanning electron microscopy, the authors have identified typical mineral assemblages in rocks from deep- source magmatic activities, such as kimberlite belts, carbonatites- alkali complexes. The main results are: (1) the typical mineral assemblage of the kimberlite is pyrope + andradite+perovskite+phlogopite+chromite+chromium- rich magnetite±chlinohumite±native silicon±diamond etc., and its alteration mineral combination: phlogopite+titanium- rich magnetite + ilmenite + titanium- rich spinel, etc., and for the first time native silicon is observed. This kind of mineral paragenesis fully reflects the strong reduced deep fluid conditions; (2) the typical mineral combination of carbonate- alkaline complexes is calcite+bastnaesite+parisite, and its alteration mineral combination: barite+celestine+dolomite, etc. In carbonatites and alkaline complexes rare metal (Au, Co, Pt, Ru, Os, Ir, Re, etc.) mineralization is also observed. The concentration of these metals can reach tens of thousands of times of abundance of the earth’s crust in east China. No negative geochemical anomalies of the metals occur in areas surrounding the mineralized zone indicating that this kind of element enrichment was sourced from deep geological fluid. The magma characteristics of deep source in the southern part of the Tan- Lu fault belt (Yi- Shu fault belt) and the mineral assemblages provide new guidelines in mineralogical research for future deep exploration and studies.
