Abstract:

The Dayangshan molybdenum deposit is a newly discovered small deposit in the Huzhong area, northeast of Daxinganling. The ore is mainly hosted by the quartz-monzonite porphyry and hanging wall rock, and its occurrence is controlled by the quartz-monzonite porphyry. U-Pb dating of the quartz-monzonite porphyry using LA-ICP-MS yielded an age of (119.83±0.87) Ma, indicating that the mineralization in the Dayangshan molybdenum deposit occurred in the Early Cretaceous. The geochemical data of the quartz-monzonite porphyry show that the rock is relatively enriched in Al(Al2O3=15.04%-15.31%) and K(K2O/Na2O=1.15-1.21) and depleted in Ti(TiO2=0.36%-0.39%). These characteristics show that the quartz-monzonite porphyry is a potassic basaltic rock, which is normally formed in orogenic belt settings, and magmatic melts which produce these rocks do not interact with mantle. In addition, the rock is relatively enriched in LILEs (e.g., Rb and K), and depleted in HFSEs(e.g.,Nb, Ta, P, Ti and HREE), depleted in mantlephilic elements, enriched in LREE ((La/Sm)N=4.62-4.64), and with medium Eu value (δEu=0.46-0.48), suggesting that it was crystallized from a magma originated from continental crust. Based on the regional geological data, we argue that the source of ore-forming material was derived from the remelted crust related to the subduction and closure of the Mongolia-Okhotsk Ocean, and the mineralization occurred in the extensional tectonic setting. The study supplemented the data of regional metallogenic regularity and provided basis for regional metallogenic prediction.
