- W2912389541 abstract "Abstract The Arqiale deposit, located in the southern Yili Block of Western Tianshan, Xinjiang, China, is a newly discovered large Zn-Pb deposit with a resource of approximately 10 million tons ore grading 9.65% Zn+Pb, and a certain amount of Cu and Ag. The Zn-Pb orebodies are tabular and lentoid in shape, developed along SW-striking and NW-dipping interlayer structures between the Lower Carboniferous Akeshake (mainly carbonate rocks) and Dahalajunshan (mainly volcanic rocks) formations. Garnet and pyroxene-rich skarn, formed in the early (prograde) stage of skarnization, occurs only locally as lenses within skarn bodies enriched in actinolite, tremolite, ilvaite, biotite, epidote, chlorite, calcite, quartz and fluorite, which were formed in the retrograde stage. Metallic minerals comprise sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and hematite. They mainly occur as disseminations, patches and massive ores, replacing retrograde skarn minerals and crosscut by later stage quartz and calcite veinlets. There is a general trend of increasing Cu contents and decreasing Zn/Pb ratios from the upper and south portion to the lower and north portion of the orebody. Rb-Sr dating of seven sphalerite samples yielded an isochron age of 339.5 ± 2.7 Ma, which is almost identical to the 341.8 ± 2.5 Ma age obtained from Sm-Nd dating of eight actinolite samples. Furthermore, zircon U-Pb dating yielded an age of 343 ± 6 Ma for a gabbro-diorite stock that is located about 600 m south of the Zn-Pb orebody. The age data indicate that the mineralization and retrograde skarnization were contemporaneous, and they are likely related to a magmatic intrusion of similar age which may be linked to the gabbro-diorite stock. Thus, although the direct causative intrusion has not been identified, the Arqiale deposit can be classified as a distal skarn deposit. The δ34SV-CDT values of 26 ore sulfide samples range from −7.1‰ to +1.3‰ with an average of −1.5‰. The 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb and 208Pb/204Pb ratios of 25 ore sulfide samples range from 18.266 to 18.880, 15.577 to 15.668 and 38.068 to 38.720, respectively, which are similar to the Early Carboniferous intrusions of the Wusun Range and partly overlap with the volcanic rocks of the Dahalajunshan Formation, and are different from the carbonate rocks of the Akeshake Formation. Based on these data, we propose that the Arqiale deposit formed from magmatic-hydrothermal fluids emanated from a concealed magmatic intrusion which may be located beneath the northern and deep part of the deposit. Much of the metals and sulfur may have been derived from the magmatic intrusions, although some of them may have also been extracted from the volcanic rocks underlying the deposit. The results of this study indicate that there is a great potential of finding more skarn Zn-Pb mineralization in Western Tianshan, where numerous Early Carboniferous arc-related intrusions with similar ages as the Arqiale deposit, in relation to the subduction of the Southern Tianshan Oceanic plate underneath the Yili-Central Tianshan Block, were emplaced into or beneath carbonate rocks." @default.
