Mineralogy, fluid inclusion and stable isotope study of the Jinchanghe Zn-Pb-Fe-Cu skarn deposit in southwestern China
Mineralium Deposita(2023)
Abstract
Jinchanghe is a Zn-Pb-Fe-Cu skarn deposit in the northern Baoshan block, southwestern China. It is a typical distal skarn deposit with orebodies in the Cambrian Hetaoping Formation limestone and calcareous siltstone. The skarn minerals display a vertical zonation with garnet skarn in the lower part and pyroxene skarn in the upper part. Economic metals are also zoned with Fe at the base, Cu in the middle, and Zn-Pb in the upper part. The skarn formation and Zn-Pb-Fe-Cu mineralization is divided into four paragenetic stages: a pre-ore stage dominated by prograde garnet and pyroxene, an oxide stage represented by Fe mineralization associated with retrograde ilvaite, actinolite and epidote alteration, a sulfide stage characterized with Cu–Zn-Pb sulfides, and a post-ore stage with barren calcite, quartz and chlorite. Fluid inclusion microthermometry indicates that the hydrothermal fluids of the Jinchanghe skarn system evolved from the pre-ore stage (450–480 °C and 11.7–15.5 °C wt
