Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mineral exploration, and in particular to a quantitative simulation method for the enrichment of ore-forming elements in a metamorphic-anatexilic process. Background Art

[0002] Metamorphism refers to the process in which the mineral composition, structure and texture of rocks in the earth's crust change under changes in physical and chemical conditions such as temperature and pressure. Deep melting is an advanced stage of metamorphism, which is manifested as partial or complete melting of rocks to form melts. During the metamorphism-deep melting process, ore-forming elements such as lithium, beryllium, gold, and silver tend to be enriched to form economically valuable deposits. The evolution of the earth's crust is accompanied by geological events such as plate tectonic movements, magmatic activities, and metamorphism. These events provide conditions for the enrichment of ore-forming elements. As an important link in the evolution of the earth's crust, the metamorphism-deep melting process has an important influence on the enrichment of ore-forming elements and the formation of ore deposits. By quantitatively simulating the enrichment process of ore-forming elements in the metamorphism-deep melting process, the mineralization mechanism can be revealed, providing a theoretical basis for finding new mineral resources. Quantitative simulation methods can help scientists predict the location, scale and grade of potential deposits, and provide important references for mineral exploration and development.

[0003] Traditional rock geochemical analysis methods have obvious limitations and shortcomings when dealing with the multi-stage migration and enrichment process of ore-forming elements in the source area, from pre-enrichment, partial melting to fractional crystallization and fluid activity. It is difficult to obtain continuous sample data, resulting in missing information in key evolutionary stages. At the same time, the multi-solution nature of whole-rock geochemical results also makes the judgment of the behavior of ore-forming elements remain at a qualitative level, making it difficult to conduct in-depth quantitative analysis. Therefore, a quantitative simulation method for the enrichment of ore-forming elements in the metamorphic-deep melting process is proposed. Summary of the invention

The geological units include metamorphic rocks, mixed rocks, and ore-bearing rock bodies. The main ore-forming element minerals include biotite, titanite, and ilmenite. The representativeness and integrity of the samples must be ensured during sampling to avoid contamination and confusion. The collected samples must be pre-processed by cleaning, drying, cutting and grinding, and prepared for in-situ single mineral analysis. The single mineral samples must be observed under a polarizing microscope to analyze the morphology, structure and distribution of the minerals, identify and locate the mineral areas that require in-situ single mineral analysis, and mark the selected mineral areas. To facilitate the subsequent in-situ single mineral analysis, use a high-precision electron probe micro-area analyzer to prepare for in-situ single mineral analysis. According to the type and nature of the mineral, adjust the voltage, current, and laser frequency parameters of the electron probe micro-area analyzer to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the analysis results. Perform in-situ analysis on the selected mineral area, collect geochemical data on the content, distribution, and isotope ratio of ore-forming elements, record the analysis results and analysis conditions, including the type, content, isotope ratio, and instrument parameters of the ore-forming elements, and organize and classify the collected geochemical data. Establish a data table to record the geochemical data for subsequent data processing and analysis. Standardize the obtained geochemical data to eliminate deviations in the analysis process.

According to the composition of the metamorphic rock, use Perple_X software combined with the thermodynamic model to construct the corresponding The pressure-temperature (PT) phase diagram is used to analyze the stability of minerals and melts under different temperature and pressure conditions. Different water content conditions are set in the thermodynamic model to simulate the melting behavior of metamorphic rocks under different fluid environments. The simulation calculation is started.

[0074] Step 6: Quantitatively analyze the multi-stage migration and enrichment process of ore-forming elements and their controlling factors during the process from source melting to magma evolution. Based on the quantitative simulation results, explain the ore-forming mechanism and output an analysis report, including the source of ore-forming materials and element pre-enrichment mechanism.
