摘要:

斑岩矿床的成矿机制是一种典型的力-热-流多物理场耦合的岩浆-热液过程,因而从成矿动力学数值计算模拟的角度研究斑岩矿床成矿作用过程,对揭示斑岩岩浆-热液系统动力学演化机制及其成矿响应情况具有十分重要的意义。德兴铜矿(包括朱砂红、铜厂和富家坞)作为目前中国华南已发现的最大斑岩型铜矿床,是研究(大型/超大型)斑岩矿床成矿作用过程的一个典型的重要窗口。前人已在矿床地质、地球化学、年代学、同位素以及成矿流体等诸多方面开展了大量的研究工作,但从成矿动力学数值模拟的角度对德兴铜矿成矿作用过程进行的研究目前相对较少。为此,本文以德兴斑岩铜矿床为主要研究对象,首先通过总结分析其成矿过程的地质概念模型,进而将侵入体形态(包括长轴及短轴长度)和倾伏角、控矿断裂倾角与宽度作为几何模型中的变量,构建由这些变量组合控制的几何实体模型。在此基础上,进一步分析斑岩矿床成矿过程数值模拟中应力场、流体场以及热力场三者的耦合关系及其数学-物理方程,构建德兴斑岩铜矿床的成矿动力学模型,建立相应的有限元数值模拟模型。最终,设置不同的岩石物理参数、边界条件与初始条件,进行力-热-流三场耦合的数值模拟实验,并根据不同侵入体产状及断裂构造条件下的模拟结果探究德兴铜矿床断裂和侵入体产状对成矿的控制作用。主要结论如下:(1)较小的断裂构造宽度更易造成岩矿石局部破裂,便于流体弥散而形成浸染状或微-细脉状的斑岩矿化;(2)较大体积的岩体以及较小的岩体倾伏角度对斑岩铜矿床的形成相对有利;(3)朱砂红矿床较铜厂和富家坞矿床岩体体积小,而倾伏角相对较大,导致岩体冷却速度快,表面及附近扩容空间小,因而成矿深度大,而金属储量小。揭示了德兴铜矿床斑岩侵入体与断裂构造产状的控矿机制,增进了对德兴铜矿矿床成因和控矿要素的认识。

Abstract:

The metallogenic mechanism of porphyry deposit is a typical multiphysics magmatic-hydrothermal process affected by stress deformation, heat transfer and fluid flow. Therefore, it is important to study the metallogenic process of porphyry deposits from the perspective of numerical modeling of metallogenic dynamics to understand the dynamic evolutionary mechanism of porphyry magmatic-hydrothermal system and its ore-forming response. The Dexing porphyry copper deposit, including the Zhushahong, Tongchang and Fujiawu orebodies, is the largest porphyry copper deposit in South China and considered to be a critically important case for studying the mineralization process of large or/and super-large porphyry deposits. Previous studies mainly addressed the ore geology, geochemistry, geochronology, isotope and ore-forming fluids of the Dexing porphyry deposit; however, only a few studies investigated the mineralization processes by numerical modeling of metallogenic dynamics. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the fault and intrusion controlls on mineralization in the Dexing porphyry copper deposit through numerical metallogenic modeling. Firstly, based on a geological conceptual model of copper mineralization, a geometric model characterizing the magmatic-hydrothermal system was constructed, which contains variables of shape (lengths of long and short axes) and dip angle of porphyry intrusion as well as dip angle and width of ore controlling fault. Next, based on the analysis of the coupling relationships among stress, fluidic and thermal fields affecting porphyry copper mineralization, the corresponding mathematical-physical equations were derived and a metallogenic dynamic computing model was constructed. Then, a numerical model simulating the metallogenic dynamic process was established by finite element numerical simulation. Finally, by constraining rock properties, boundary and initial conditions, stress deformation-heat transfer-fluid flow coupled numerical simulation was carried out to investigate fault and intrusion control on the copper mineralization. The main conclusions are: (1) small fault width is more likely to result in localized fractures, thereby facilitating fluid dispersion and formation of disseminated or micro-vein porphyry mineralization. (2) Larger volume and smaller dip angle of porphyry intrusion are beneficial to porphyry mineralization. (3) Compared with the Tongchang and Fujiawu orebodies, the smaller Zhushahong orebody has greater ore-forming depth but smaller mineral reserve, as its large dip angle led to faster post-magmatic cooling (therefore limiting its surface expansion), and porphyry intrusion of the nearby Zhushahong orebody limited its expansion space. This study revealed the ore-controlling mechanism of porphyry intrusion and fault structure in the Dexing porphyry copper deposit, helping to further our understanding of its genesis and ore controlling factors.
