Two Periods of Porphyry Cu Mineralization and Metallogenic Implications in the Tuwu–Yandong Belt (NW China), Based on Re–Os Systematics of Molybdenite
View through CrossRef
The Tuwu–Yandong belt contains five porphyry Cu deposits (Fuxing, Yandong, Tuwu, Linglong, and Chihu), constituting the largest Cu metallogenic belt in Northwest China. However, the metallogenic framework for porphyry Cu deposits in the belt remains controversial. Rhenium-osmium dating of molybdenite from the Tuwu, Linglong, and Chihu deposits and comparisons with previous geochronological data of five deposits suggest that two episodes (335–330 Ma and 323–315 Ma) of porphyry Cu–Mo mineralization occurred in the Tuwu–Yandong belt, and the metals were mainly sourced from the mantle. Moreover, combined with the geodynamic framework of this belt, the compressional environment may be more favorable for porphyry Cu mineralization, and further exploration into the Early Carboniferous porphyry Cu deposits in this belt is expected.
