1、高级矿床学-斑岩型矿床,斑岩铜矿,斑岩铜矿(Porphyry copper deposits)为世界提供了 50%以上的铜金属(over 100 producing mines)。Their close relatives the porphyry moly deposits produce 70%of the worlds moly.Both deposit types will be discussed separately,but they share many characteristics and are formed in somewhat similar manners.,全球斑
2、岩铜矿分布图绝大多数斑岩铜矿形成于中新生代，与离散板块边缘上及附近的火山链有关（环太平洋、古地中海和古亚洲洋）。极少数为古生代，分布在古生代板块边缘上，如U.S.S.R、United States。,全球已知最大的88个斑岩铜矿产于美国西南部，成矿时代为58-72 Ma。岩体形态典型斑岩铜矿床呈圆筒状，产于岩株状岩体中，出露面积为1.5 x 2 km（椭圆状），核部为斑岩质，向外到边部为中粗粒等粒的成分相似的岩石。主岩岩石学一般地，容矿主岩为长英质侵入体，成分为石英正长岩、石英二长岩、花岗闪长岩系列；闪长岩正长岩系列,热液蚀变Lowell and Guilbert 总结的斑岩铜矿蚀变模式，围绕

6、e formed by hydrothermal activity,gravitational collapse or later explosive volcanism.,在成矿区带上，斑岩铜矿、钼矿和锡矿明显呈带状分布，与距板块俯冲带的距离有关，铜矿离海沟最近，而钼锡依次分布在海沟内侧。,Vertical Extent of Porphyry Bodies斑岩铜矿与小高位小岩株和陆相钙碱性火山作用有关。因而侵入体为层火山所覆盖，青盘岩化延展到火山岩中，其它蚀变于其界面处。一般地，此模式说明斑岩铜矿是更大的成矿体系的一部分，包括高位浅成低温贵金属矿床。,闪长岩模式斑岩矿床有两个不同的体系：其
7、一为“Lowell and Guilbert type”，以美国西南部以石英二长岩-花岗闪长岩为特征。其二为Andes and Pacific Islands.主岩为闪长岩，偶为正长岩。两者的特征对比见表。闪长岩体系的特征为：低硫逸度，存在磁铁矿，蚀变仅有钾化带和青盘岩化带，金为重要组分，而钼稀有或缺失。,这些差异可以理解为：日本岛弧侵入体没有斑岩铜矿，在岩相学上他们属于两类花岗岩（“S”and“I”type）。前者为陆壳深熔作用形成的，后者为板块俯冲期间部分熔融的最后阶段的分异产物。,S and I type granites 的特征对比，与Lowell and Guilbert and D
8、iorite 斑岩矿床所揭示的特征相似。闪长岩模式的矿床形成于大洋岩石圈俯冲所致的部分熔融作用，而 Lowell and Guilbert 模式矿床代表远离板块边界陆壳的熔融作用。,成因典型斑岩体系的最明显特征是其大小。热液不仅渗透到母侵入体中，而且渗透至围岩中。认为容矿岩体侵入至浅部（0.5-2 km深)。侵入体结晶开始时，岩浆房的蒸汽压随不相容元素进入蒸汽相而增大，当蒸汽压超过上覆岩石的围压时发生退化沸腾。快速沸腾的液体最终克服岩石的拉伸强度从硅酸盐熔体中分离出来，导致强烈的网脉状角砾化(如:water at 2 Kb 压力和5000C的水由于沸腾体积增加至少 10%)。此外，沸腾是吸热反
