英文摘要 | Nurkazgan gold-rich porphyry copper deposit, located in Central Kazakhastan, is an important Early Paleozoic porphyry copper-gold deposit in the western Central Asian Metallogenic Domain. Copper and gold mineralization is strongly linked with the emplacement of Early Silurian granodiorite porphyry and quartz diorite porphyrite. Ore-bodies, composed of disseminations, stockworks and widespread hydrothermal breccias of sulfides, are occurred in granodiorite porphyry, quartz diorite porphyrite and quartz diorite, as well as the outer volcanic rocks of Zhasor Formation. Within the deposit,it is characterized by abundant of hydrothermal magnetite and anhydrite, as well as rutile. Intensively hydrothermal alteration in Nurkazgan deposits is similar to other gold-rich porphyry copper deposits in the world, including early potassic-calcic silicate alteration (K-feldspar + actinolite) and propylitic alteration, then intermediate argillic alteration which widely developed within all intrusions, and late sericitic alteration. Copper mineralization is accompanied by potassic-calcic and intermediate argillic alterations and is consist of chalcopyrite, minor bornite and digenite. However, most gold mineralization is closely associated with intermediate argillic alteration, only minor occurred in potassic-calcic silicate alteration. Based on the scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation, the occurrence of gold is mainly as fine-grained native gold and electrum. In general, the grain size of them is less than 10 m. Native gold usually occurre in alteration rocks and is closely associated with silicate minerals in spatial (such as chlorite and illite) where native gold is mainly on their surface, among their grain boundaries, as inclusions in the crystal and minor within microfractures, while electrum is mainly encapsulated by chalcopyrite that cemented the breccias with intermediate argillic alteration. Our research suggest that the magma-hydrothermal fluid system in Nurkazgan is highly oxidized and sulfur -rich, in which the decrease of SO42-/H2S ratio and pH values by crystallizition of magnetite and anhydrite and disproportionation of SO2 dissolved in the highly oxidized fluids is likely to be responsible for most of gold deposition. |
