Abstract:The Langshan-Zhaertai Mesoproterozoic SEDEX metallogenic belt located in the western part of the northern margin of the North China Platform comprises the Hu ogeq i, Dongshengmiao, Tanyaokou Jiashengpan deposits and some occurrences, which ar e different from the middle Proterozoic typical SEDEX deposits in the world in t he fact that the metabasic volcanic rocks in Huogeqi, the metado ub levolcanic rocks in Dongshengmiao and potassic spilite with blastoporphyritic a nd blasticglomeroporphyritic texture in Tanyaokou deposits have been picked ou t from the only orebearing second formation of the Langshan Group in recent ye ars. The metallogenic process of these deposits are closely relevant to the synsedim entary volcanic activities based on the following facts: ① The SmNd isochron a g e of the basic volcanic rocks varies from 1491 Ma to 1824 Ma(more than or close to the model age of the lead isotope of all sulphide minerals)in these deposits , w ithεNd(t) =(3.48~6.4)±0.8,and the REE composition of them is e n riched in ligh t REEs and depleted in heavy REEs, which indicate these volcanic rocks, formed i n the pullapart basins along the north margin of the North China p l atform during the Mesoproterozoic, were derived from the mantle or lower crust. ② The REE composition of some PbZnPyores is also enriched in light REEs a n d d epleted in heavy REEs. The chondritenormalized REE patterns of them are simila r to the patterns for the basicvolcanc rocks. ③ In the lead isotope compositio n diagram of Doe and Zartman (1979), most of sphalerite, galena, pyrite, pyrrhotit e and chalcopyrite are plotted on both sides of the line for the mantle or betwe en the lin es for the mantle and lower crust. ④ The Cobalt content (ppm) of some pyrites i s much higher than the nickel content of them (Co/Ni=11.91~12.19). ⑤ Some vol canic blocks an d debrises have been picked out from some pyrite and pyrrhotite ores, which sho w the source of ores directly derived from volcanic eruption and the variety and complexity of the metallogenic process. ⑥ All ZnPbCuFe sulfide orebod ies i n t hese deposits occur in the strata overlying the metamorphic volcanic rocks in th e only orebearing second Formation. In the Jiashengpan deposit lacking synsedi mentary volcanic rocks in the host succession only Pb and Zn ores occur without Cu ore, but the D ongshengmiao, Tanyaokou and Huogeqi deposits with synsedimentary volcanic rocks in the host succession contain Cu ore, indicating relatively high oreforming temperatures, besides Pb and Zn ores. The synsedimentary volcanic eruption directly supplied some oreforming metals, and resulted in secular geothermal anomaly which is favorable for the circulation of th e submarine convective hydrothermal system, resulting in the precipitation o f deep mineralizing fluids exhaling into anoxide basins along the synsedimentary fau lt system in the LangshanZhaertai rift.
