Hydrothermal evolution of gold-bearing pyrite and arsenopyrite from different types of gold deposits
摘要
Abstract
This study investigates the microstructures,geochemistry,and hydrothermal evolution of gold-bearing pyrite and arsenopyrite from Carlin type (both in the USA and China),turbidite hosted gold deposits of China,intrusion related gold deposits,epithermal gold deposits and six orogenic gold deposits in the Archean Eastern Goldfields Province,Western Australia.Scanning electron microscope (SEM),EPMA,and LA-ICP-MS analyses show that the gold-bearing pyrite and arsenopyrite possess a number of similar textural features,including the occurrence of invisible gold within initial phases of growth,and later-stage visible gold associated with alteration rims.The alteration rims are characterized by a higher-than-average atomic mass (mainly owing to arsenic enrichment) and are preferentially located along fractures and grain boundaries in the pyrite and arsenopyrite.These observations suggest that visible gold formation is associated with hydrothermal alteration of preexisting pyrite and arsenopyrite.Textural observations and LA-ICP-MS data suggest that some invisible gold was remobilized from early-formed pyrite and arsenopyrite to form visible gold during the development of these alteration rims and fractures.Based on sulfide stability relations,the authors hold that the development of arsenopyrite alteration rims associated with late-stage visible gold formation was related to an increase in temperature (maximum increase from 310℃ to 415℃) and up to six orders of magnitude increase in sulfur fugacity.It is suggested that the transform from invisible to visible gold depends on the fluid conditions and chemistry.关键词
