Abstract:

The Yangshan fluorite deposit is located in Luanchuan County,Western Henan Province.The orebody is developed in the bottom of the Heyu granite,and is mainly controlled by NW- and NE-trending faults.Based on the study of rare earth elements and fluid inclusions of fluorite,the source of ore-forming materials,the ore-fluid properties and the ore genesis at Yangshan are discussed.The ΣREE content of stage Ⅱ fluorite ranges from 22.61×10-6 to 287.94×10-6,LREE/HREE is of 0.64 to 5.24,and there are negative Eu anomalies(δEu=0.50-0.92)and Ce anomalies(δCe=0.88-1.06).With depth increases,ΣREE decreases,whereas LREE/HREE and LaN/YbN increase,and δEu and δCe do not change significantly.This indicates that the overall metallogenic time sequence is from deep to shallow,and the vertical oxygen fugacity is relatively stable.From the purple fluorite to green fluorite,ΣREE increases,LREE/HREE and LaN/YbN decrease,and δEu and δCe increase,indicating that recrystallization evolves from purple fluorite to green fluorite.The fluid inclusions of fluorite are mainly gas-liquid two phases.The homogenization temperature and salinity of these inclusions are concentrated in the range of 80-155 ℃ and 0.3%-6.3%(NaCleqv.).Comprehensive analysis shows that the ore-forming fluid is mainly mixed with magmatic water and meteoric water,belonging to a low-temperature,low-salinity and low-density NaCl-H2O system.Thus,Yangshan deposit is a low-temperature and low-salinity hydrothermal deposit.Comprehensive analysis of REEs and fluid inclusion characteristics of fluorite shows that the fluorite precipitation may have been controlled by water-rock reaction.
