Abstract:

The Daping-Jinling barite deposit is located in southern wing of the Qinling compound anticline in the southern Qinling Mountain, on the southern and western edge of the Pingli dome of Daba Mountain. The geochemical characteristic and ore-forming material sources of Daping-Jinling barite deposit in northern Daba Mountain were studied on geological background, deposit geological characteristics, carbon and oxygen isotopic and rare earth elements. The oxygen isotope compositions showed that the δ18OV-SMOW ranged from 1.44‰ to 2.20‰, indicating that the ore-forming temperature was low-or-medium temperature(60.72-122.87 ℃). The ore and surrounding rock had similar rare earth element characteristics to reveal that the material sources of barite and surrounding rock may be the same, with high ratio of HREE/LREE, anomaly negative europium, anomaly negative cerium. The analysis of petrogenesis and tectonic environment indicates that the horizon of barite deposit is hosted the Cambrian Liujiaping Formation. The sedimentary environment is the slope facies of continental margin and provides superior conditions for the formation of $SO_{4}^{2-}$. The Sinian Dengying Formation in the underlying strata contained high abundance of Ba, which may be the main source of barium in the barite deposit.
