Title: The discovery of rare minerals in the Cunqian Cu-Pb-Zn deposit and its geological significance
Abstract: The Qinhang metallogenic belt is an important copper polymetallic ore-forming belt in eastern China,and the Cunqian Cu-Pb-Zn deposit is a typical skarn copper polymetallic deposit in this ore-forming belt.Through sampling based on field geological investigation,microscopic examination,SEM observation,X-ray energy spectrum analysis,and systematic study of material components of ores,the authors found for the first time rare native aluminum and Zn-Cu intermetallic compound in the ores.Both of these two types of metallic minerals have special formation conditions and are hence of important indicative significance for studying the metallogenic environment,formation condition and ore-forming materials of the Cunqian deposit.The results obtained by the authors show that the early metallogenic epoch was characterized by an environment of high temperature,strong reduction and low sulfur fugacity,with the addition of some mantle materials to the ore-forming fluids.
