- Abstract
The Duolanasayi gold deposit, 60 km NW of Habahe County in Xinjiang, is a medium-large scale gold deposit controlled by the coupled ore-forming processes involving brittle-ductile shearing, albitite veins, and post-stage magma solution. Fluid inclusion studies indicate that the homogenization temperatures range from 160 Celsius to 315 Celsius with the peak values of 220 - 300 Celsius. Mineralization pressures are from 21.0 MPa to 64.5 MPa. Ore fluid inclusions contain Ca&sup2+;, K[sup+], Na[sup+], Mg&sup2+;; HCO[sup-,sub3], SO[sup2-,sub4], HS[sup-], F[sup-],Cl[sup-] and Au[sup+] (maximum: 5.3 x 10[sup-6], and the mineralizing fluid is a H[sub2]O-CO[sub2] system. Sulfur, hydrogen, oxygen and strontium isotopic compositions (δS = -2.4 ‰ - -7.02 ‰, δ[sup18]O[subH[sub2]O] = 1.65 ‰ - 12.4 ‰, δD = -132.2 ‰ - -51.8 ‰, (Sr/Sr)[subi], = 0.7043 - 0.7073) suggest that the ore-forming fluid is the mixture of magmatic water, meteoric water, metamorphic water and formation water sealed in rocks and strata. It is mainly magmatic water in the early stage, and mixing fluid of water, meteoric water, metamorphic water and formation water that occurred in rocks and strata in the major mineralization stage. The ore-forming materials were derived from the upper mantle or lower crust.
