文章报道了宁芜矿集区内姑山矿浆型铁矿床中的铁氧化物、辉石闪长玢岩和赋矿围岩的Fe同位素组成,其δ57Fe的总体分布范围为-0.05‰~0.79‰.结果显示,姑山铁矿床的铁氧化物赤铁矿和镜铁矿均比硅酸盐岩浆结晶产物(辉石闪长岩)富集重的Fe同位素,并且硅酸盐岩浆的Fe同位素组成比已报道的火山岩的平均Fe同位素组成更富集轻的Fe同位素,表明在岩浆不混溶的过程中Fe同位素发生了分馏,富铁熔体相对富集重的Fe同位素,而硅酸盐熔体相对富集轻的Fe同位素;相对于赋矿地层(黄马青组石英砂岩)和辉石闪长玢岩,赤铁矿和镜铁矿更富集重的Fe同位素,围岩地层和闪长岩岩体则富集轻的Fe同位素.因此,姑山铁矿床的铁质不大可能来自于地层或闪长玢岩岩体,而主要来源于深部岩浆房.
Fe isotope compositions of Fe-oxide minerals and pyroxene-diorite porphyry as well as ore-hosting wall rocks from the Gushan ore magma deposit in Anhui Province are reported in this paper. An overall variation in 357Fe values from - 0.05%0 to 0.799'oo has been observed. Fe-oxide minerals have higher 357Fe values than pyroxene- diorite porphyry, whereas the pyroxene-diorite porphyry is slightly enriched in light iron isotopes relative to average Fe isotopic composition of igneous rocks reported both in China and abroad, indicating that Fe isotope fractionation occurred during the process of fluid immiscibility. Fe-rich melts are enriched in heavy Fe isotopes while Fe-poor silicate melts are enriched in light Fe isotopes. Moreover, Fe isotope compositions of Fe-oxide minerals, pyroxene-diorite porphyry and wall-rock are comparatively studied. Both pyroxene-diorite porphyry and wall rocks have lower 647Fe values than the Fe-oxide minerals, and the Fe isotopes distribution characteristics are consistent with melt immiscibility and also accordant with the basic theory of Fe isotopic fractionation, suggesting that the Fe in the Gushan iron deposit was most probably derived from deeper chamber rather than from strata and pyroxene-diorite porphyry. Field observations and Fe isotopic studies conducted by the authors strongly suggest that the main orebodies in the Gushan deposit were subjected to ore-magma type mineralization.
