柴达木盆地东部新生代构造演化及其对砂岩型铀矿的控制作用
Cenozoic structural evolution of the eastern Qaidam basin and its control on the formation of sandstone-type uranium deposits
摘要
Abstract
Qaidam basin,located at the northeastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,is one of China's major large-scale oil-and gas-bearing basins.The results of uranium exploration in recent years show that it has good prospects of uranium mineralization.However,compared to the western Qaidam basin,research on the fundamental geology and uranium exploration in the eastern Qaidam basin remains relatively underdeveloped.Based on systematic summary of low-temperature thermochronological data,provenance and growth strata characteristics,the Cenozoic tectonic evolution history of the east Qaidam area was reviewed.We investigated the control of Cenozoic structural evolution on uranium mineralization in the eastern Qaidam,through comprehensive analysis of typical uranium occurrences surface(field observations)and near-surface(seismic profiles)data.The results indicated that fault systems exert primary control over uranium mineralization,with uranium occurrences predominantly distributed within the flank of gentle anticlinal near the thrust faults,and the Olongbulak North Fault and its secondary faults may work as the principal ore-controlling faults.The uranium mineralization in the east Qaidam occurs predominantly by exudative uranium metallogeny,with Carboniferous hydrocarbon source rocks potentially serving as significant provider of abundant uranium for the mineralization processes.The fault systems within the basin provide effective channels and driving force for the upward migration of deep uranium-rich reduction fluid,and the regional intense compression and hydrocarbon generation control the spatial position of uranium mineralization.The findings in this paper are meaningful for the following uranium exploration work in the east Qaidam basin.关键词
