Abstract:

 Leimengou Mo deposit in Western Henan Province is a typic porphyry Mo deposit in East Qinling Molybdenum belt. The deposit pervasively develops K-feldspar alteration,including vein type and whole rock alteration. The whole rock alteration charactered as the porphyry and the gneiss being potassic altered absolutely. Vein type alteration is represented by the K-feldspar slevage, K-feldspar fluorite vein amd K-feldspar halo beside the margin of quartz molybdenum veinnet. This paper analyzed the alteration features of K-feldspar, composition of altered minerals, X-ray powder diffraction and Pb isotope composition of types of altered K-feldspar. The compositions of feldspar show that K2O is the main compontent; X-ray powder diffraction data suggest that K-feldspar are andesine microcline with alteration temperatures of 310-418 ℃.Pb isotope composition show that K in K-feldspar originates from mantle. According to the  mantle derived characteristics of the ore forming fluid, combining with the geochemistry of Mo, we conducted that the K-feldspar alteration has a good interpretation on the metallogenic process.
