青藏高原东南缘玉龙斑岩铜矿床表生氧化富集过程及剥蚀保存程度研究

This proposed research involves detail field observations and intensive investigations on the mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, Fe-Cu isotopes, and (U-Th)/He and 4He/3He geochronology to understand the chemical weathering, supergene enrichment, and erosion processes in the Yulong porphyry copper deposits, southeastern Tibet Plateau. Mineralogical and geochemical results are important to determine the spatial and temporal distribution of supergene minerals and geochemical zones in weathering profiles of the Yulong porphyry deposit. Iron-copper stable isotopes will be used to investigate the chemical weathering processes that are related to supergene enrichment of sulfide ores in oxidation zones. Apatite and iron-oxides (U-Th)/He and 4He/3He geochronology will provide the precisely and directly timing constraints on chemical weathering and exhumation history in southeastern Tibet Plateau, and serve as an excellent tool to quantify and evaluate the degree of the preservation and erosion of porphyry deposits. These new data, in combination with the previous weathering geochronological, tectonic, paleoclimatic, and geomorphological data in this district and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, will be used to understand the regional controls on the supergene oxidation and enrichment. This is important to discuss and reconstruct the regional chemical weathering history, geomorphological evolution, and tectonic and paleoclimatic changes during the late Cenozoic in southeastern Tibet Plateau. This project has potential to provide the new method for studies on economic geology and earth's critical zone.
