摘要
<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The Dehelongwa copper (gold) deposit, located in the north-east part of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, is a magmatic hydrothermal deposit. Three types of inclusions hosted in quartz are found in the ore-bodies, i.e., liquid-rich two-phased aqueous inclusions (type-), vapor-rich aqueous inclusions (type-Ⅱ), and aqueous inclusions with daughter mineral(s) (type- Ⅲ). Based on the fluid inclusion data, three types of ore-forming fluids are deduced, they are strongly overpressured and high salinity magmatic hydrothermal fluid A, medium-high salinity boiling hydrothermal fluid B, and low-medium salinity fluid C. It is suggested that ore-forming elements were transported by high salinity magmatic fluids, with Cu mainly as chlorocomplex such as CuCl2(aq) and CuCl- and Au mainly as sulfur-arsenic complex. The ore-forming components were precipitated due to boiling and fluid mixing as well as the decrease in salinity, temperature, and pressure of the fluids.pt" lang=EN-US>pace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />p>p>
