Abstract:

Jilongshan Au-Cu deposit is a typical skarn deposit in the southeastern Hubei metallogenic region of the MiddleLower Yangtze River Fe-Cu metallogenic belt. Few studies have been made on the ore forming material sources of this deposit. Fifteen samples were collected from the Jilongshan deposit for Pb isotope analyses. The ranges of the Pb isotopic compositions are from 17.358 to 18.589 for 206Pb/204Pb, 15.414 to 15.745 for 207Pb/204Pb and 37.956 to 39.094 for 208Pb/204Pb, which are anomalous and their single stage model ages cannot be used as a criterion for metallogenic epoch. However, the distributing characteristics of the single stage model ages suggest that the Pb of the ore derives from different sources. The linear distribution of Pb isotope in tectonic model diagram reflects the consistent relation of granodiorite porphyry, skarn, marble and ore, which is also a good proof that the ore forming materials are partly from the magma. The comparison of the Pb isotopic characteristics of Jilongshan Au-Cu deposit, Fengshandong Cu-Mo deposit, Chengmenshan Cu-Au deposit and Tonglushan Cu-Fe deposit shows that the ore forming materials of the four deposits have different characteristics in parts although they are very similar on the whole.
