Geochemical fingerprinting of typical giant deposits in the Central Asian metallogenic domain: case studies of the Muruntau gold deposit and the Almalyk porphyry copper deposit
-
摘要: 中亚成矿域矿产资源极为丰富。苏联时期通过地球化学金属量测量先后发现世界第二大金矿穆龙套金矿、中亚成矿域最大的阿尔马雷克斑岩型铜矿。因此,建立相应找矿标志对中国寻找类似巨型矿床具有迫切的现实意义。通过区域尺度与矿区尺度地球化学特征研究,系统揭示了2种矿床的多尺度异常结构特征。研究得出:穆龙套金矿区,残坡积物地区土壤岩屑测量和准平原化风积物覆盖区穿透性地球化学测量均可有效圈定异常;区域尺度上巨量元素Au、As、Sb、Hg、Pt、Pd高度叠合,并沿控矿背斜和炭质围岩发生超常富集;矿区尺度上Au、As高值异常位于主矿体上方。阿尔马雷克斑岩铜矿呈现典型的地球化学特征;区域尺度上Cu-Mo-Au-Pb-Zn多元素异常相互叠合,矿区尺度上则表现为明显分带特征,以Mo异常为核心内环、Cu-Au为中环、Pb-Zn为外环的经典环带状分带模式。上述2类矿床分别代表了中亚成矿域2种典型矿床地球化学特征与找矿标志,可为中亚成矿域中国新疆境内寻找同类型矿床从区域选区到矿区勘查提供参照。

Abstract:Objective The Central Asian Metallogenic Domain is rich in mineral resources. Geochemical metal-content surveys conducted during the Soviet era led to the discovery of the Muruntau gold deposit, the world’s second-largest gold deposit, and the Almalyk porphyry copper deposit, the largest porphyry copper deposit in the Central Asian Metallogenic Domain. Research on their geochemical characteristics is of significance for finding similar deposits in China. Methods Geochemical characteristics were investigated at both regional and deposit scales to characterize the distribution and spatial relationships of geochemical anomalies in the two deposits. Results In the Muruntau gold deposit, soil and rock-fragment geochemical surveys in areas covered by residual and colluvial materials, as well as penetrating geochemical surveys in peneplained areas covered by aeolian sand, effectively delineated geochemical anomalies. At the regional scale, Au, As, Sb, Hg, Pt, and Pd anomalies showed strong spatial overlap, with exceptionally high concentrations along the ore-controlling anticline and in carbonaceous wall rocks. At the deposit scale, pronounced Au and As anomalies occurred above the main orebodies. The Almalyk porphyry copper deposit exhibited a distinct geochemical anomaly pattern. At the regional scale, Cu–Mo–Au–Pb–Zn multielement anomalies showed substantial spatial overlap. At the deposit scale, the anomalies displayed a distinct concentric zoning pattern, with Mo forming the inner zone, Cu–Au the intermediate zone, and Pb–Zn the outer zone. Conclusions The two deposits represent distinct types of giant deposits in the Central Asian Metallogenic Domain, each characterized by specific geochemical signatures and prospecting indicators. Significance These findings provide a reference for exploring similar deposits in the Xinjiang region of China, from regional target selection to deposit-scale exploration. -
