Abstract:Duocaidima leadzinc ore deposit, located at the Yushu area of Qinghai, is tectonically situated in the northeastern margin of Tibetan Plateau. Bounded between the Xijir UlanJinshajiang suture zone and BangonghuNujiang suture zone, the deposit belongs to the CuPbZnAg polymetallic mineralization belt in the northern part of the Sanjiang area. Combining with regional geological survey and research status, we carried out CO isotope analysis of carbonatic rock in wall rocks and twostage hydrothermal calcite veins, and S isotope analysis of sulfide minerals and barite. The results are given as follows. The δ13C and δ18O value ranges of calcites in wall rocks are -1.6‰~+3.0‰ and +21.2‰~+27.6‰ respectively, suggesting that calcites belong to normal marine carbonate deposition, with C and O deriving from seawater. The δ13C and δ18O values of calcite veins are -1.5‰~+2.1‰ and +15.2‰~+20.3‰ respectively, while the C derived from the dissolution of carbonate rocks, and the 18O depleted during isotopic exchange of waterrock reaction. The δ34S values of barite range from +12.3‰ to +15.7‰ and δ34S values of galena, sphalerite and pyrite all range from -8.2‰ to +5.7‰ with a peak of -2.0‰~-3.0‰, which reflects a feature of rich light sulfur, and sulfur was derived from extraction of the thermal brine in basin, thermal decomposition and reduction of the organic matters and fractionation of lowvalence sulfur. A relative wide range of δ34S reflects the interaction of oreforming material with wall rocks during the flowing of hydrothermal fluids in the basin. Sedimentary and biogenetic sulfur in organic matterrich strata in the basin may provide partial sulfur source for the mineralization.
