Abstract:The Emeishan mantle plume has always been a research hotspot for scholars at home and abroad, but research on the Emeishan mantle plume has mostly focused on basic theoretical studies, with relatively few studies related to mineralization effects.In order to supplement and improve the Emeishan mantle plume mineralization system, the existing research results are reviewed.Methods: This article systematically summarizes the research results in recent years, and summarizes the characteristics and genesis of various types of mineral deposits.Results:On this basis, the spatiotemporal distribution patterns and evolutionary history of mineral deposits were sorted out, and the research focus and prospecting direction for the future Emeishan mantle plume mineralization system were proposed.Firstly, according to the temporal relationship between mineralization and the upwelling of the Emeishan mantle plume, it can be divided into two types: (1)Along with the upwelling of the Emei Mountain mantle plume, magma mineralization and hydrothermal mineralization occur during the upwelling process, ultimately forming magma deposits and hydrothermal deposits, respectively. These deposits are called the types directly related to the Emei Mountain mantle plume. (2)After the end of the upwelling of the Emeishan mantle plume and a certain period of interruption, the upwelling event of the Emeishan mantle plume provides material sources for mineralization, transport channels, and mineralization space for the deposits, which are called deposit types indirectly related to the Emeishan mantle plume.Secondly, the spatiotemporal distribution pattern and evolutionary history of the mineral deposit were analyzed.The results show that the mineralization age of the deposits directly related to the Emeishan mantle plume is concentrated around 260 Ma.In space, it is mainly distributed on north—south fault zones, closely related to magma channels, and has mineralization zoning in the vertical direction of magma channels.The evolutionary history of mineral deposits directly related to the Emeishan mantle plume is closely related to the magmatic and hydrothermal processes that occurred at different spatial positions in the magma channels during the upwelling process of the Emeishan mantle plume.The mineralization ages of mineral deposits indirectly related to the Emeishan mantle plume are relatively scattered.In terms of space, it is mainly distributed in the middle and outer zones of the Emeishan Large Igneous Province, and has characteristics of dispersion and stratigraphic distribution.The evolutionary history of mineral deposits indirectly related to the Emeishan mantle plume is closely related to the source layers or initial enrichment layers of ore- forming elements, ancient deep faults, and storage spaces provided after the formation of the Emeishan Large Igneous Province, and different types of mineral deposits have different evolutionary characteristics.The Emeishan mantle plume metallogenic system has bred most of the key minerals such as rare, rare earth, scattered, rare and precious metals.Conclusions:The Emeishan mantle plume mineralization system has nurtured abundant rare earth, rare earth, scattered, and precious metals, among the vast majority of key mineral resources. The deposit types are diverse and have great potential for mineralization.It is suggested to strengthen the research on the mineralization theory, mechanism, prediction, comprehensive recovery and utilization technology, and diversified exploration of ore- forming elements in the Emeishan mantle plume mineralization system, which can greatly enhance the guarantee capability of China's key mineral resources.
