Study on fluid inclusions and stable isotopics of W-Mo ore deposits in the Ningshan-Zhen'an area, South Qinling, China.

The study of the fluid inclusions of W-Mo deposits in the mineralization area of Ningshan-Zhen'an , Shaanxi Province, China shows that the gas-liquid two-phase inclusions are mainly present in W-Mo deposits, and the ore-forming fluid can be divided into four types: high-temperature type, middle-high-temperature type, middle-temperature type and low-temperature type. The formation depths of the W-Mo mineralization range from 4.2 to 8.4 km. The boiling and mixing of fluid may have been important mechanisms for the formation of W-Mo mineralization. The skarn-type mineralization is dominated by magmatic water, the quartz-vein-type mineralization includes both magmatic water and meteoric water, and the meteoric water is more involved in the quartz-fluorite-vein-type, beryl-quartz-vein-type and pegmatite-type mineralization. Magma is the main source of sulfur; that is, magma is the main source of mineralization. Combined with the metallogenic setting and geological characteristics of typical ore deposits, in the process of structural system transformation in South Qinling, the ore-forming magma fluid in the Late Indosinian-Yanshanian period was uplifted and emplaced along the NW-WNW direction and NE-NNE direction, and eventually, NW-WNW fault-controlled skarn-type W-Mo mineralization and quartz-vein-type W-Mo deposits accompanied by greisenization, albitization and potash feldspathization formed.
