松辽盆地钱家店砂岩铀矿田热驱动对流成矿模型构建及找矿方向研究

Construction of Thermal-driven Convective Mineralization Model and Exploration Indicators for Qianjiadian Sandstone UraniumOre Field in Songliao Basin

  • 摘要: 松辽盆地钱家店地区砂岩型铀矿勘查取得重大突破,区内广泛发育的基性侵入岩及其与砂岩铀成矿内在成因的联系越来越受到关注,但现阶段还未见基性岩浆侵入改变流体运移方式并影响砂岩铀成矿方面的相关报道。本文通过精细岩相学研究,结合热液蚀变矿物C-H-O同位素测试与氧化带空间展布特征系统分析,查明了基性岩浆侵入背景下成矿热液来源、运移机制及对砂岩铀成矿的作用机制。结果表明,与基性岩浆侵入有关的成矿热液为大气降水来源的富CO2增温建造水,其与砂岩相互作用可形成高岭石-片钠铝石-铁白云石-含铀铁白云石等标志性热液蚀变矿物组合,为基性岩浆侵入参与砂岩铀成矿过程提供了直接的矿物学证据;来源于盆地南缘的区域含氧增温建造水与来源于古隆起的局部含氧增温建造水受基性岩浆侵入热驱动,呈热对流方式运移,形成了研究区独特的上下双层氧化带以及铀矿化,并表现出热液改造和受层间氧化带控制的双重特征。据此建立了钱家店砂岩铀矿田基性岩浆侵入热驱动对流成因的成矿模型,该模型整体呈现出基性岩浆侵入热驱动、区域与局部地下水双向补给、增温地下水对流运移及构造天窗集中排泄的特点,显示该区找矿类型应以层间氧化带型为主,寻找受区域和局部层间氧化联合控制或单独控制的铀矿化是研究区后续铀矿勘查的新方向。

     

    Abstract: Significant breakthroughs have been made in the exploration of sandstone uranium deposits in the Qianjiadian area of the Songliao basin. The widespread development of basic magma intrusions in the region, along with their increasing relevance to the inherent genetic relationship with uranium mineralization, has attracted growing attention. However, at present, there have been no reports regarding how basic magma intrusion change fluid migration patterns and influence sandstone uranium mineralization. In this paper, the source and migration mechanism of ore-forming hydrothermal fluids and their genetic mechanism for sandstone uranium mineralization under the background of basic magma intrusion were explored through detailed petrographic research, combined with systematic analysis of C-H-O isotope testing of hydrothermal alteration minerals and spatial distribution characteristics of oxidation zones. The results indicate that the ore-forming hydrothermal fluids associated with basic magma intrusion are CO2-enriched warming formation water originating from atmospheric precipitation, which can interact with sandstone to form hydrothermal alteration mineral assemblages, such as kaolinite, dawsonite, dolomite and uraniferous dolomite. These mineral phases provide direct mineralogical evidence for the involvement of mafic magmatic intrusions in sandstone uranium mineralization processes. A new understanding of the thermal-driven convection migration of the regional oxygen-containing warming formation water originating from the southern edge of the basin and the local oxygen-containing warming formation water originating from ancient uplifts driven by the heat of basic magmatic intrusion was proposed. This process leads to the formation of the unique upper and lower double-layer oxidation zones and uranium mineralization features, which are controlled by both hydrothermal alteration and interlayer oxidation zones. Based on these findings, a new thermal-driven convective mineralization model associated with basic magmatic intrusion for the Qianjiadian sandstone uranium ore field was established, which characterized by thermal-driven convection induced by mafic magmat intrusion, dual recharge from both regional and local groundwater systems, convective migration of heated groundwater, and focused discharge through geologic windows. The model displays that uranium exploration in this area should primarily focus on interlayer oxidation zones, particularly targeting mineralization controlled by either combined or individual effects of regional and local interlayer oxidation processes. This study provides innovative exploration strategies and new directions for sandstone uranium deposits in mafic magma-modified terranes, significantly advancing the theoretical understanding of sandstone uranium mineralization.
