Research on Characteristics of Ore-Forming Fluids of Dahongshan Copper Ore Deposit

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper analyzes the fluid inclusions, micro-thermometry, the pressure, salinity and pH of ore-forming solution, and isotopes of H and O, C and O of the Dahongshan copper deposit in Yunnan Province. The result shows that these inclusions are dominated by liquids (LH2O), gases and liquids (LH2O+VH2O), and daughter mineral-bearing (LH2O+VH2O+SNaCl) three-phase ones and the liquid inclusion accounts for about 50%, and the liquid composition mainly include Na+,K+,F-,Cl-. Homogenization temperatures at the early stage vary from 290°C to 330°C, with the peak value around 350°C, while at the late stage the figures vary from 160°C to 250°C, with the peak value 250°C. The general salinity ranges from 16.0 wt% to 35.9wt%, and the maximum reaches 45wt%. The value of δ18OH2O and δD in the mineral inclusion ranges from-1.15% to 6.61% and from-58% to-78% respectively. These isotopic data imply that the ore-forming fluids were mainly derived from the magmatic water, the metamorphic water and the meteoric water.
