安庆铜铁矿床是长江中下游成矿带内重要的矽卡岩型矿床之-。本文对该矿床中的成矿流体进行了系统研究,分析了成矿流体性质、来源及其演化过程,探讨了成矿机制。流体包裹体岩相学观察显示,矿床中的包裹体类型有I型含子矿物三相包裹体(L+V+S)、Ⅱ型气液两相包裹体(L+V)及少量Ⅲ型气相包裹体(V);气成-高温热液期的透辉石与石榴子石中流体包裹体数量相对较少,以I型包裹体为主;而热液期的石英与方解石中流体包裹体大量发育,以Ⅱ型包裹体为主。激光拉曼探针分析和流体包裹体显微测温结果表明,成矿流体可近似地看作不饱和的NaCl-H2O体系。从早矽卡岩阶段至碳酸盐阶段,成矿流体经历了从高温(456.1—578.1℃)、高盐度(39.37%~54.58%NaCleq)向低温(112.3—312.4℃)、低盐度(7.59%-31.75%NaCleq)的持续演化。演化过程中经历了流体沸腾作用和岩浆热液与大气降水的混合作用,其中,早矽卡岩阶段的水-岩作用、沸腾作用与矽卡岩成岩作用有关,水-岩作用,而石英-硫化物阶段的沸腾作用与混合作用可能是铜矿形成的重要机制。氢、氧同位素研究表明气成-高温热液期的成矿流体以岩浆水为主,而在热液期中石英-硫化物阶段至碳酸盐阶段大气降水在成矿流体中的比重逐渐增大。
Anqing copper-iron deposit is one of the most important skarn-type deposits along the Middle and Lower Yangtze River metallogenie belt. In this study, the ore-forming fluids of this deposit are systematically researched by analyzing their properties, and evolution, and discussing the ore-forming mechanism. The petrographic observation of fluid inclusions shows that inclusions of the deposit consist of I-type daughter mineral-bearing three-phase inclusions (L+V+S), Ⅱ-type gas-liquid two-phase inclusions (L+V), and a few Ⅲ-type gas-phase inclusions (V). Diopside and garnet during the pneumatolytic-hydrothermal period contain a relatively small number of fluid inclusions which are mainly I-type; while quartz and calcite during the hydrothermal period developed large quantities of Ⅱ-type inclusions. The results of laser Raman microprobe analysis and microthermometry of fluid inclusions show that ore-forming fluids could be approximated as an unsaturated NaCl-H20 system. From the early skarn stage to the carbonate stage, ore-forming fluids experienced a continuous evolution from high temperature (456.1±578.1 ℃), high salinity (39.37%-54.79% NaCleq) conditions to low temperature (112.3-312.4℃), low salinity (7.59%N31.75% NaCleq) conditions. During this evolution of water-rock interaction, boiling and mixing of magmatic hydrothermal and meteoric water occurred, respectively. The water-rock interaction and boiling in early skarn stage was related to the diagenesis of skarn. Boiling and mixing in quartz-sulfide stage may be a significant mechanism for the formation of chalcopyrite. Hydrogen and oxygen isotopic studies indicate that ore-forming fluids during the pneumatolytic-hydrothermal period is composed mainly of magmatic water with an increasing proportion of meteoric water into the fluids from the quartz-suffide stage to the carbonate stage during the hydrothermal period.
