THE GEOCHEMISTRY RESEARCH ON FLUID OF THE DAXIGOU GOLD MINE, FENGNING, HEBEI PROVINCE

Full text

Using temperature in microscope, composition and hydrogen and oxygen isotope testing, this study provides an in-depth analysis on fluid inclusions’ parameters of the Daxigou gold mine and the characteristics of the ore-forming fluid. The results show that the inclusions in the quartz which displays close relations with Daxigou gold mineralization contain three types of inclusions: gaseous inclusion, gas-liquid inclusion and liquid inclusion, of which the latter two types are most common. The homogenization temperatures of the inclusions are mainly concentrated in 175°C ~ 275°C, with the salinity of 2% to 7%, the fluid density of 0.804 ~ 0.959g/cm³, and the mineralization depth of 1.01 ~ 2.24km. The vapor in fluid inclusions is mainly composed of H₂O and CO₂; in fluid inclusions liquid, the main cations are Na+ followed by Ca²⁺, K⁺, and the anions are SO₄^2- and Cl^- followed by only traces of F^-. The δ¹⁸O water values in quartz are 2.1 ‰ ~ 5.8 ‰, and the δD values are -87‰ ～ -103.67%, reflecting the ore-forming fluids coming from magmatic water and atmospheric precipitation. By calculating the gas fugacity, gold in the Daxigou gold ore-forming fluids mainly migrates in the form of complex [Au (HS)₂]^-. The complex process and hydrothermal alteration are the major factors for gold precipitation and enrichment.
