文摘

The Jinshajiang-Red River porphyry Cu-Mo metallogenic belt is an important Cenozoic porphyry Cu-Mo mineralization concentrating zone in the eastern Indo©\Asian collision zone. New zircon U-Pb and molybdenite Re-Os ages and compilation of previously published ages indicate that porphyry Cu-Mo deposits in the belt did not form at the same time, i.e., the porphyry emplacement and relevant Cu-Mo mineralization ages of the Ailaoshan-Red River ore belt in south range from 36.3 Ma to 34.6 Ma, and from 36.0 Ma to 33.9 Ma, respectively, which are obviously younger than the porphyry emplacement ages of 43.8-36.9 Ma and the relevant Cu-Mo mineralization ages of 41.6-35.8 Ma of the Yulong ore belt in north. Tectonic studies indicated that the Jinshajiang fault system in north and Ailaoshan-Red River fault system in south of the Jinsjiang-Red river belt had different strike-slip patterns and ages. The right-lateral strike-slip motion of the Jinshajiang fault system initiated at ca. 43 Ma with corresponding formation of the Yulong porphyry Cu-Mo system, whereas the left-lateral strike-slip motion of the Ailaoshan-Red River fault system initiated at ca. 36 Ma with corresponding formation of the Ailaoshan-Red River porphyry Cu-Mo system. Therefore, the different ages of porphyry Cu-Mo systems, between in north and south of the Jinshajiang-Red River belt, indicate that the porphyry Cu-Mo mineralization is closely related to the divergent strike-slip movements between the Jinshajiang and Ailaoshan-Red River strike-slip faulting resulted from the Indo©\Asian collision. The tanslithospheric Jinshajiang-Red River faulting caused partial melting of the enriched mantle sources of alkali-rich porphyries by depressurization or/and asthenospheric heating, and facilitated the migration of alkali-rich magmas and the corresponding formation of alkali-rich porphyries and relevant Cu-Mo deposits in the belt.
