对取自302铀矿床井下与沥青铀矿矿石共生的9件紫黑色萤石、肉红色方解石样品进行了流体包裹体的He同位素测定,3He/4He测定值为0.03~0.57Ra(绝大部分在0.11~0.25Ra之间),位于地幔与地壳的氦同位素值范围之间,显示成矿流体中的氦同位素具有壳、幔两个端元混合的特点,表明有大量幔源挥发性组分参与铀成矿作用。该矿床碳同位素值与流体包裹体证据均表明,地幔挥发性组分确实大规模参与了铀成矿作用。研究显示,几乎华南所有的热液铀矿床都形成于白垩纪-古近纪,且这些矿床的碳同位素组成均显示成矿流体中的矿化剂CO2来自地幔.暗示它们成矿时具有相似的成矿动力学背景:可能均与华南中,新生代岩石圈伸展作用所控制的幔源挥发性组分具有密切的关系。
Helium isotopic compositions from fluid inclusions of 9 pieces of atropurpureus fluorite and pale red calcite intergrowth with pitchblende ores, collected from the underground of the No. 302 uranium deposit, have been determined. The results show that 3He/4He ratios range from 0. 03 Ra to 0. 57 Ra, with most of ratios varying from 0. 11 Ra to 0.25 Ra. These values are significantly lower than that of the Earth's mantle, and higher than that of the crust, indicating that He in the ore-forming fluids is a mixture of mantle- and crust-derived components, and that there were many mantle-derived volatile components involved in uranium mineralization. Recent studies revealed that most of hydrothermal uranium deposits in South China occurred during the Cretaceous to the Paleogene. Previous carbon isotope and fluid inclusion studies suggested that the CO2 as mineralization agent in the ore-forming fluid was derived from the mantle. Therefore, it suggests that most U deposits in South China formed under similar metallogenic geodynamic settings, and possibly has a genetic link with mantle-derived volatile matters, which were controlled by the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic lithosphere extension. Therefore, uranium mineralization and lithosphere extension were closely connected by mantle-derived volatile components.
