Abstract:Volcanic edifice of Linzizong Group in the Nanmulin basin of Lhasa Block host the Sinongduo cryptoexplosive brecciastype and hydrothermal veintype AgPbZn deposit. The deposit consists mainly of sphalerite and galena, with minor amount of chalcopyrite and argentite. Altered minerals are sericite, illite, chalcedony, montmorillonite, jasper, calcite, rhodochrosite and siderite, which are consistent to the basic feature of lowsulfidation epithermal deposit. This study carried out the Si, H and O isotopic analysis of siliceous bands and quartz veins cutting orebodies in vents of terrigenous volcanic rock. The results show that (1) the single mineral quartz in the siliceous bands has δ30SiNBS28 of -1.2‰~-0.4‰, which 〖JP3〗records geochemical features of hydrothermal sedimentary Si isotope, suggesting a sinter genesis of ancient hot spring. (2) Whole rock analysis of hydrothermal sedimentary siliceous bands reformed by late volcanic hydrothermal process has 30SiNBS28of -0.2‰~+0.3‰,indicating a mixing feature of volcanic rock and hydrothermal sedimentary rock. (3) Quartz veins cutting through orebodies have δ30Si NBS28value of -0.8‰~-0.1‰, which is consistent to that of mineral quartz in hydrothermal sedimentary siliceous bands, showing high Δ30Si feature of low temperature origin. (4) O and H isotopic features of fluid inclusions from quartz veins and siliceous bands suggest O isotopic shifting due to waterrock reaction between meteoric water and volcanic rocks, indicating that oreforming fluids experienced longterm recycling within volcanic rocks strata. Therefore, SiHO stable isotopic values indicate the existence of ancient hot spring in the mining area. This study shows that despite the low degree of denudation in this area, there are still great potential for lowsulfidation epithermal AuAg type deposits, with quartz veins of low δ30SiNBS28 and silicification being the important indicators for exploring lowsulfidation epithermal AuAg type deposits.
