| Popis: | The Yujiadian F-Pb-Zn-Ag deposit in the South Great Xing’an Range (SGXR) consists of vein-type fluorite and F-Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization associated with granitoid. The orebodies occur in NS-trending extensional faults. Wallrock alterations are characterized by a series of medium-low temperature hydrothermal alteration, including silification, kaolinization, chloritization, sericitization, pyritic and carbonate alteration. Four stages of primary paragenetic sequences are recognized: polymetallic sulfide stage (stage I), sulfide fluorite sub-stage (stage II-1), silver-fluorite sub-stage (stage II-2), pure fluorite stage (stage III) and late carbonate stage (stage IV). Silver mineralization primarily belongs to the stage II. The 139–135 Ma quartz syenite porphyry is metaluminous and peralkalic, and is classified as A-type granite that formed in a post-orogenic extensional setting. The δ34S (1.8‰) of hydrothermal fluid calculated from coeval minerals (barite and galena) is comparable with the majority of adjacent magmatic hydrothermal deposits in the SGXR, implying a magmatic source. Microthermometric measurements show that ore minerals were deposited at intermediate temperatures (109.7–320.1 °C) and had low salinities (0.18–5.62 wt% NaCl equive). Ore-forming fluid originated from post-magmatic hydrothermal fluid and mixed with heated meteoric water. Successive precipitation of base metals occurred with changing physicochemical conditions and boiling of ore fluid. The main precipitation mechanism for fluorite in the late stage is related to fluid-rock reaction. We propose that the A-type granite related to the fracture-controlled hydrothermal vein-type Yujiadian F-Pb-Zn-Ag deposit forms part of the magmatic response to Paleo-Pacific subduction and associated lithospheric thinning, extension and delamination processes. Furthermore, the deposit represents the terminal and distal member of the regional Mesozoic large-scale mineralization events. |
