Early Cretaceous arc magmatism and high-sulphidation epithermal porphyry Cu–Au mineralization in Yanbian area, Northeast China: the Duhuangling example

Abstract: Yanbian area (Northeast China) is part of the Western Pacific porphyry-epithermal gold-copper metallogenic belt. Here, we present the results of a detailed study of Early Cretaceous mineralization-associated magmatic events in this region and, based on the results, identify the geological setting and mineralizing processes involved in mineral deposit formation. We focus on the timing and geodynamic mechanisms of hydrothermal alteration and metallogenesis of the Duhuangling highsulphidation epithermal gold depo… Show more

“…The Sishanlinchang gold deposit has molybdenite Re–Os age of 111 ± 2 (Huang, Liu, & Gao, ), and the Sandaowanzi, Tuanjiegou, and Yongxin gold deposits have pyrite Rb–Sr isochron ages of ~119 to ~107 Ma (Wang et al, ; Zhai et al, ). The Duhuangling and Naozhi deposits have 40 Ar/ 39 Ar ages of 107 ± 6 and 124 ± 3 Ma, respectively, for fluid inclusions within auriferous quartz veins (Chai, Sun, Xing, Men, & Han, ; Men, ; Meng, Zhou, & Chai, ). The Shangmachang deposit has a Sm–Nd isochron age of 114 ± 4 Ma for hydrothermal calcite (Gao, ).…”

“…5). The Re-Os date of molybdenite from the Xiaoxi’nancha deposit is 111.1 ± 3.1 Ma 11 ; the Nongping deposit has a sericite 40 Ar/ 39 Ar date of 95.0 ± 3.1 Ma 13 ; a sulfide-bearing quartz vein from the Duhuangling deposit yielded a 40 Ar/ 39 Ar isochron age of 107 ± 6 Ma by laser probe techniques 14 ; in the Jiusangou deposit, metallogenic porphyritic quartz diorite yielded a zircon U-Pb age of 108.1 ± 1.4 Ma 31 ; Sun et al . 12 considered the Ciweigou and Wufeng-Wuxingshan deposits formed after 108 Ma based on the ages of mineralized intrusives and host volcanic rocks.…”

“…Ballard et al (2002) measured the major and trace element compositions of zircons and whole rock samples from the porphyry Cu belt in northern Chile and deduced that porphyry Cu mineralization is directly associated with intrusions with zircon Ce (IV)/Ce (III) N 300 and Eu N / Eu N * N0.4; this signature provides a useful tool for evaluating the rock fertility for magmatic-hydrothermal Cu-Au mineralization. Given that the Ce (IV)/Ce (III) and Eu N /Eu N * ratios of zircon are good indicators of magmatic oxygen fugacity, most magmatic-hydrothermal Cu-Au deposits exhibit a strong relationship to intrusions with high oxygen fugacities (Blevin and Chappell, 1992;Candela, 1992;Sun et al, 2007;Liang et al, 2009;Chai et al, 2014). High oxygen fugacities change the valence state of sulfur in melts and suppress saturation of an immiscible sulfide phase that scavenges Cu (and Au) from a fractionating melt (Sun et al, 2004;Liang et al, 2006Liang et al, , 2010, which would favor the enrichment of chalcophile elements in magma during fractionation.…”
