Abstract:
The Chiwawu Cu-Mo-W deposit, occurred in the central facies porphyritic granodiorite of Chiwawu rock mass, is a typical porphyry deposit in northern Taihang Mountains, belonging to the high-K calc-alkaline series. With the decrease of σ value, the content of SiO
2 increases. The oxides such as CaO, MgO, Fe
2O
3, TiO
2, and P
2O
5 are negatively correlated with the SiO
2 content, showing the characteristics of quasi-aluminous calc-alkaline I-type granite. Elements of Rb, Ba, Th, U, La, and Nb are relatively depleted, with a slightly positive Eu anomaly. The
87Sr/
86Sr ratio of Chiwawu rock mass is averagely 0.7068, with the initial ratio
εNd(
t) of -20.9 to -16.1, the
206Pb/
204Pb ratio of 16.5, the
207Pb/
204Pb ratio of 15.2 and the
208Pb/
204Pb ratio of 36.8, indicating that the magma is primarily derived from the lower crust mixed with minor mantle materials. Combined with the regional geological background, it is concluded that under the influence of subduction of Paleo-Pacific Plate, the large-scale remelting of lower crust and upper mantle materials occur in North China Craton, leading to the upward invasion along the deep fault zone of Taihang Mountains, eventually forming the Chiwawu Cu-Mo-W deposit. The Chiwawu rock mass and magmatic rock belt in northern Taihang Mountains are promising targets for future mineral exploration.
