西藏嘎波锂矿床白云母花岗岩及电气石地球化学:对喜马拉雅后碰撞伸展背景下稀有金属成矿作用的启示

Geochemical characteristics of tourmaline-muscovite granite and tourmaline from the Gabo lithium deposit, Xizang: Implications for rare metal metallogenesis in the post-collision extensional setting of the Himalayas

  • 摘要: 西藏嘎波锂矿是喜马拉雅成矿带首个经钻探验证的伟晶岩型锂矿床,具大型规模找矿潜力。该伟晶岩型锂矿体主要赋存于古生界雇孜组变质岩系中,受伸展拆离滑脱构造控制,与下伏电气石白云母花岗岩具有紧密的空间关系与成因联系,但目前对这套岩体的岩浆性质与成矿潜力仍缺乏深入研究。基于此,本文开展了电气石白云母花岗岩地球化学、电气石矿物学及同位素分析。结果显示,电气石白云母花岗岩富硅(SiO2含量为73.34%~74.46%),高铝(Al2O3含量为14.52%~14.94%),贫CaO(0.92%~1.06%),富集大离子亲石元素,亏损高场强元素,具有高Rb(605×10-6~633×10-6)、高Rb/Sr比值(8.01~8.59)特征,表明这套花岗岩起源于变泥质岩白云母脱水熔融,且经历了高度分异。电气石白云母花岗岩中电气石硼同位素δ11B值介于(-11.61±0.38)~(-10.47±0.35),指示其来自较为单一的壳源源区。电气石原位微量元素分析显示,电气石具显著的高Li(900×10-61821×10-6)、Zn(1835.39 ×10-62871.81 ×10-6)及Sn(31.56 ×10-6~87.83 ×10-6)特征,且元素含量从核部至边部具有逐渐升高的趋势,表明岩浆分异演化过程对稀有金属的富集具有促进作用,而电气石则可以作为稀有金属富集的“指针矿物”。综合研究表明,嘎波伟晶岩型锂矿床稀有金属的富集受控于岩浆分异演化,就位则受控于伸展拆离滑脱构造,该矿床是喜马拉雅成矿带后碰撞伸展背景下稀有金属成矿作用的典型代表。

     

    Abstract: The Gabo lithium deposit in Xizang Autonomous Region is the first verified pegmatite-type lithium deposit within the Himalayan metallogenic belt, showing significant potential for large-scale exploration. The pegmatite-type lithium bodies are primarily hosted in the metamorphic rock series of the Paleozoic Guzi Formation, with their distribution controlled by extensional detachment structures. They have a close spatial relationship and genetic link with the underlying tourmaline-muscovite granite. However, further study on the magmatic properties and metallogenic potential of this granite remain lacking. To address this, this study conducted geochemical, mineralogical, and isotopic analyses on the tourmaline-muscovite granite. The results reveal that the granite is characterized by high silica content (SiO2: 73.34%–74.46%), elevated alumina levels (Al2O3: 14.52%–14.94%), low CaO content (0.92%–1.06%), enrichment in large ion lithophile elements, and depletion in high field strength elements. It exhibits notably high Rb concentrations (605×10-6–633×10-6) coupled with high Rb/Sr ratios (8.01–8.59), indicating that the granite was derived from the dehydration melting of phyllitic muscovite and underwent extensive differentiation. The boron isotopic compositions (δ11B) of tourmaline within the granite range from -11.61±0.38 to -10.47±0.35, suggesting a relatively homogeneous crustal source. In-situ trace element analyses of tourmaline show remarkably high contents of Li (900×10-6–1821 ×10-6), Zn (1835.39×10-62871.81×10-6), and Sn (31.56×10-6–87.83×10-6), with a gradual increase from the core to the rim. This indicates that magmatic differentiation and evolution drove the enrichment of rare metals, with tourmaline acting as a mineral indicator for rare metal concentration. Comprehensive research demonstrates that the enrichment of rare metals in the Gabo pegmatite-type lithium deposit is controlled by magmatic differentiation and evolution, while its occurrence is governed by extensional detachment structures. This makes it a typical example of rare metal mineralization in the post-collisional extensional setting of the Himalayan metallogenic belt.
