The newly-discovered Mayuan Pb-Zn deposit occurs in bedded and stratoid forms and lies in a structural zone of dolomite brecciasin the Sinian Dengying Formation on the northern margin of Yangtze craton.REE geochemistry of hydrothermal gangue minerals and sedimentary strata in the Mayuan Pb-Zn deposit was analyzed in this paper with the purpose of understanding comprehensively the source of ore materials.The North America shales-normalized REE patterns of hydrothermal gangue minerals and sedimentary strata are almost flat and assume linear distribution in Y-∑REE diagram,suggesting that ore-forming materials originated from sedimentary formations.The higher?REE and LREE-enriched REE patterns of the late-stage calcites relative to earlystage hydrothermal dolostone show that they were derived from fluids of different origins.The early-stage hydrothermal dolostone is similar to Sinian dolostone in?REE,REE patterns and the positions in Y-∑REE diagram,indicating that Dengying dolostone might have served as the main material source.The late-stage calcites have higher?REE values than Sinian dolomite and lower?REE values than basement and Paleozoic sedimentary strata,implying that the late-stage ore-forming fluid probably migrated through the basement and Paleozoic sedimentary strata.The positiveδEuNanomalies in hydrothermal gangue minerals show that the deposit was formed in a relatively high temperature(>200℃)and reductive environment.
