摘要
The Qimantage area,located on the southwestern margin of Qaidam Basin,is not only a characteristic intrusive magmatic tectonic belt,but also a very important poly-metallic metallogenic belt.In this paper,detailed geochronological,element geochemical,Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic studies were carried out for the Middle to Late Triassic granitoids,and relationship between granitoids and poly-metallic mineralization was discussed.The Middle to Late Triassic granitoids in Qimantage area are characterized by the metaluminous to peraluminous and high-K calc-alkaline rocks.Of them,the Late Triassic granitoids is much enriched in K2O/Na2O ratio,LILE and LREE,and poor in HFSE.The rocks exhibit moderate initial 87Sr/86Sr values and comparatively negative εNd(t) values,which indicate that they were derived from ancient crust sources and mixed probably by mantle material.The precise U-Pb zircon dating results define emplacement of the mianthite-riched granodiorite occurred during 230~237Ma,Late Triassic porphyritic granitiods intruded at 228~204Ma.It is inferred that the tectonic transformation from crustal compression to extension was produced at about 240Ma,and was accompanied by mantle source magmatism.The occurrence of Late Triassic high differentiated and high-K calc-alkaline granitoids indicates that this area had evolved into post-collisional environment.The large numbers of porphyry and skarn-type poly-metallic deposits are temporally and spatially related to Middle to Late Triassic granitic intrusions.
