Abstract:

The Fengning Ag polymetallic deposit is one of the most important Ag polymetallic deposits located in northern Hebei metallogenic area, north margin of North China Craton. In order to better explore the genesis of the deposit and make predictions for deep and peripheral mineralization of the mining area, the thermoelectric typomorphism of pyrite in different mineralization stages of the Niujuan Ag (Au) mining area of the Fengning Ag polymetallic deposit was studied. The results show that the pyrite thermoelectric coefficient ranges from 26-367 μV·℃-1, mainly in the range of 200-330 μV·℃-1. The pyrite thermoelectric conductivity type is all P type, and the average value of thermoelectric coefficient is 267 μV·℃-1. The gradient of thermoelectric coefficient is 0.74 μV·℃-1·m-1 in the vertical space of about 80 m from 1,190 m depth to 1,110 m depth. In summary, only the shallow ore body has been disclosed in the Niujuan silver (gold) mining area, and the deep ore body has not been disclosed, and the erosion of the ore body is shallow, so there is a great prospect for deep ore prospecting. In addition, the pyrite formation temperature ranges from 147 ℃ to 281 ℃, mainly concentrated in 180 ℃ to 280 ℃, which is basically consistent with the variation range of fluid inclusion homogenization temperature measurement results, indicating that this deposit is a medium-low temperature deposit.
