Abstract
The Lianhuashan porphyry tungsten deposit occurs in the coastal area of southeast China, where volcanic rocks are extensively developed. Its regional geology is related to the Benioff belt along the west Pacific Ocean during Mesozoic. Alteration-mineralization is genetically connected with quartz porphyry of Upper Jurassic age. The isochron age of the quartz porphyry was estimated at 135.8±7.3–137.8±2.4×106 yr, with an initial strontium ratio of 0.70668±0.00038. From the quartz porphyry outwards developed such alterations as potashalteration, phyllitization and propylitization. Tungsten mineralization occurs in the phyllitization zone. The mineral associations are characterized by the paragenesis of wolframite with scheelite, and high sulfides, especially pyrite, pyrrihotite and arsenopyrite. Stable isotope data are presented as follows: Evidence developed from fluid inclusions indicates that the temperature of alteration-mineralization ranges from 650° to 150°C. Ore fluids are high in salinity and rich in Cl. The geological-geochemical characteristics of the deposit permit a conclusion that the studied deposit is a porphyry-tungsten deposit.
