Abstract:

 Through research on lead and sulfur isotopic characteristics of different media (earthgas, finegrained soil, surrounding rock, ore) in two known concealed deposits (Jinwozi gold deposit in Xinjiang, Bairendaba Weilasituo polymetallic deposit in Inner Mongolia), the following conclusions are drawn in this paper.In these two deposits, lead isotopic ratios (208Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb and 206Pb/204Pb) generally increased from the earthgas, ores, surrounding rocks to the soil.The δ34S of anomaly zones was higher than that of soil background areas.The test of variance analysis on the lead isotopic compositions of earthgas, the lead and sulfur isotopic characteristics of soil proved no significant isotopic differences between background and abnormal areas, which preliminarily proved that it is inappropriate to trace the source of abnormal substances by lead, sulfur isotope of earthgas and soil in these two deposits.But the Pb isotopic compositions of ores and surrounding rocks in these two deposits were significantly different.That is, the surrounding rocks obviously have accumulation of radiogenic lead.However, this difference was not significantly reflected in the earthgas of background and abnormal areas.This paper discussed its reasons only from the perspective of the capture fluids.Lead, sulfur isotopic compositions in the soil were analyzed to trace the source of abnormal substances in this paper, which was not successful.Further research will adopt partial extraction method to measure lead, sulfur isotopic compositions in active phase of soil.
