Against the backdrop of the vigorous development of new energy, the development and utilization of lithium resources is essential. Currently, the level of investigation and research on anticline structural fissure-pore-type brine lithium resources in my country is relatively low. The vast majority of anticline structural fissure-pore-type brine lithium deposits were discovered and studied to a limited extent during the exploration, investigation, and research of boron and potassium minerals, which are urgently needed by the country. Given the current low level of research on lithium resources in my country, a mineralization model is being constructed for existing anticline structural fissure-pore-type brine lithium resource deposits in order to guide future exploration and development of anticline structural fissure-pore-type brine lithium resources. Anticline structural fissure-pore-type brine lithium resources currently represent the lithium resource with the greatest potential in my country.

[0061] Taking the Nanyishan structural fissure-pore brine potassium-lithium deposit in Qinghai Province (Nanyishan brine deposit) as an example, the present invention provides a method for constructing a mineralization model for anticline structural fissure-pore brine lithium deposit, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0062] Step 1: Collect and organize the existing exploration and research data of the Nanyishan structural fissure-pore brine potassium-lithium deposit (Nanyishan brine deposit) in Qinghai Province.
[0063] Systematically collect exploration and research data on the Nanyishan tectonic fissure-porous brine potassium-lithium deposit (Nanyishan brine deposit) in Qinghai Province. Analyze, summarize, and redevelop previous data to fully grasp the basic data of the Nanyishan tectonic fissure-porous brine potassium-lithium deposit (Nanyishan brine deposit) in Qinghai Province. Verify the reliability of data from different sources and identify supplementary work and missing data in previous work. Collect previous research data and reports related to the deposit's metallogenic geological background, geological characteristics of the deposit, hydrogeological characteristics of the mining area, sedimentary structure, sedimentary environment, mineralization conditions, ore-controlling factors, and lake basin evolution.
[0064] Step 2: Analyze and determine the basic elements of lithium mineralization in the Nanyishan tectonic fissure-pore brine potassium-lithium deposit (Nanyishan brine deposit) in Qinghai Province.
[0065] The basic elements for constructing the mineralization model are analyzed and determined, including the geological characteristics of the ore deposit, the mineralization era, the tectonic environment, the mineralization structure, the characteristics of the brine occurrence, the source of the material, the physical and chemical conditions, the lake basin evolution and the geological process.
[0066] Step 3: Conduct field geological survey and sample collection on the Nanyishan structural fissure-pore brine potassium-lithium deposit (Nanyishan brine deposit) in Qinghai Province.
[0067] A field geological survey was conducted on the Nanyishan structural fissure-pore brine potassium-lithium deposit (Nanyishan brine deposit) in Qinghai Province, and a regional mineralization geological background survey was carried out. The Nanyishan is generally divided into five layers. The base is mainly the Lower Ganchaigou Formation of the Oligocene Series, the middle part is the Upper Ganchaigou Formation of the Miocene Series, the Lower Youshashan Formation, the Upper Youshashan Formation of the Pliocene Series, and the uppermost is covered by the Shizigou Formation of the Pliocene Series. The ore-controlling structure was determined. The structure in the Nanyishan brine deposit is developed, mainly including fold structure, complex fold structure and fissure structure. The fold structure is mainly the Nanyishan regional fault. The place where the fissure structure is developed is the main place for the formation of continuous brine ore bodies with high mineralization. The stratigraphic determination of the ore-bearing anticline structure was determined by the drilling data of the Nanyishan brine deposit. The brine occurrence characteristics were studied. The brine characteristics of the Nanyishan brine deposit are mainly chloride type, and the brine has Na + Mg 2+ , K + 、Cl -. According to the basic elements of lithium mineralization of the Nanyishan tectonic fissure pore brine potassium-lithium deposit (Nanyishan brine deposit) in Qinghai Province determined by the analysis in step 2, including the geological characteristics of the Nanyishan brine deposit, the mineralization age, tectonic environment, mineralization structure, brine occurrence characteristics, material sources, physical and chemical conditions, lake basin evolution and geological effects, etc., combined with the results of field investigations, brine samples were systematically collected, including hydrochemical analysis samples, pore depth samples, isotope analysis and age determination samples. The field investigation and sample collection work refer to the "Mineral Geological Exploration Specifications for Salts" (DZ / T0212.1-2020 standard).
[0068] Step 4: Use analytical test data and field survey information to determine the elements of each metallogenic model.
[0069] The samples collected in step 3 are analyzed and tested separately, and the analysis and test data are obtained through a professional geological laboratory, including major and trace element analysis data, borehole depth measurement of borehole depth samples, isotope analysis and age determination.
[0070] Based on field survey results and various analytical test data, the mineralization geological background of the Nanyishan tectonic fissure-pore brine potassium-lithium deposit (Nanyishan brine deposit) in Qinghai Province is concluded to be that since the Paleogene, under arid paleoclimatic conditions, surface evaporation caused a large amount of original surface water to continuously concentrate and crystallize into salt. Some of the uncrystallized groundwater formed highly mineralized brine, which was stored in the pores of the rock salt. The underground brine used pre-formed fault fissures as migration channels and was preserved in fault fissures and stratigraphic pores. This determined that the ore-controlling structure of the brine mineralization was a fissure structure, and the strata of the ore-bearing anticline structure were carbonate rocks.
[0071] Based on the brine mineralization research, the brine mineralization characteristics and associated elements were analyzed. According to the results of multivariate statistics and the analytical test data of the main elements of the samples, Li + , K + The correlation coefficient with trace elements is calculated as follows:
[0072]
[0073] Where cov(x, y) is the covariance of x and y, var[x] is the variance of x, and var[y] is the variance of y.
[0074] According to geological work experience, the correlation coefficient is less than 0.37 and is not considered. + , K + The correlation coefficients with various trace elements are shown in Table 1.
[0075] Table 1
[0076] r <![CDATA[K + ]]> <![CDATA[Na + ]]> <![CDATA[Ca 2+ ]]> <![CDATA[Mg 2+ ]]> <![CDATA[Cl - ]]> <![CDATA[SO4 2- ]]> <![CDATA[Li + ]]> <![CDATA[K + ]]> 1.00 <![CDATA[Li + ]]> 0.66 0.38 0.37 0.00 0.42 -0.17 1.00
[0077] The results in Table 1 show that the Nanyishan brine deposit is characterized by anticline structural fracture brine. + With SO4 2- and Mg 2+ The correlation coefficients are 0.00 and -0.17, showing a certain degree of negative correlation, indicating that the magnesium sulfate content of brine is low under the runoff conditions in a closed reducing environment. + With K + 、Na + , Ca 2+ 、Cl - The correlation coefficients are 0.66, 0.38, 0.37 and 0.42 respectively, showing a certain degree of positive correlation; this indicates that the hydrochemical action of brine is the migration and accumulation of salt in a long-term closed environment, and the hydrochemical type belongs to chloride type. + The high content indicates the addition of deep-source materials and good sealing properties. Through the research and analysis of the Nanyishan brine mineralization, it was determined that the anticline structural fissure-pore brine is the prospecting hallmark of the Nanyishan brine deposit. At the same time, the isotope analysis and age determination were used to determine the source of mineralization, the mineralization age, the lake basin evolution and the mineralization structure, and to study the mineralization process of the anticline structural fissure-pore brine deposit.
[0078] The isotope analysis and age determination study involved first collecting brine samples from the fissures and pores of anticline structures. Each brine sample was collected in a 500ml high-density polyethylene (HDPE) narrow-mouth bottle. The bottle was soaked in 10% nitric acid solution for 24 hours, then drained, rinsed with ultrapure water (18.25 MΩ×cm2, 5°C), and dried at 30°C. The bottle was rinsed three times with the sampled water. Samples for trace element analysis were then added with pure nitric acid to a pH of <1 and sealed for subsequent laboratory analysis. The brine samples were photographed, numbered, and labeled. Each brine sample was analyzed using an isotope mass spectrometer. Data from all brine samples were collected in the Rock and Mineral Identification Laboratory of the Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources, Beijing Research Institute of Geology, using a Picarro L2140-i water vapor isotope analyzer from Picarro, USA. The samples were sealed and collected.
[0079] The results show that the isotope analysis and age determination of brine samples show that the δ 18O values vary from -3.27‰ to +8.03‰, with an average of +4.90‰; δD values range from -49.6‰ to -36.9‰, with an average of -41.9‰. This suggests that the Nanyishan brine deposit may have been formed by syngenetic sedimentary brine, possibly formed by magmatic water intruding into formation water since the Tertiary Period, or by paleolaustic water or intercrystalline brine buried with sediments. The Nanyishan anticline was later formed by the control and compression of deep faults in the surrounding mountain range. Formed in the late Pliocene, the Nanyishan anticline developed longitudinal, transverse, oblique, and bedding-parallel faults, as well as corresponding structural fractures, providing storage space for deep brine. Mineralization in the Nanyishan brine deposit progressed through deep lacustrine, semi-deep lacustrine, shallow lacustrine, and tidal flat facies from the Oligocene to the Pliocene. Therefore, the deep brine layer of the Nanyishan anticline structure is distributed in the shallow anticline structure, where fractures are relatively developed in the lower Ganchaigou Formation (E3g), upper Ganchaigou Formation (N2g), and lower Youshashan Formation (N2y).
[0080] Step 5: Conduct comprehensive research to construct the mineralization model of the Nanyishan tectonic fissure-pore brine deposit (Nanyishan brine deposit) in Qinghai Province.
[0081] Through the above research results and data analysis, the mineralization process of the Nanyishan structural fissure pore brine deposit (Nanyishan brine deposit) in Qinghai Province was simulated and analyzed, the key anticline structural fissure pore type brine lithium mineralization geological elements were extracted, the deposit genesis was analyzed, and a four-stage mineralization model diagram of the Nanyishan structural fissure pore brine potassium-lithium deposit (Nanyishan brine deposit) in Qinghai Province was compiled, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 shown.
[0082] This mineralization model map, based on the research conducted in Steps 1-4, identified the various metallogenic elements of anticline-tectonic fissure-pore brine lithium mineralization and was compiled using the theory of anticline mineralization. The evolution of the Nanyishan brine deposit is generally characterized by the following: Beginning 65 million years ago, the Himalayan movement caused rapid uplift of the southern Qilian and eastern Kunlun Mountains surrounding the basin, as well as the western Altun Mountains. The depocenter shifted from the Lenghu-Nanbaxian Delingha region on the northern edge of the Qaidam Basin to the Xiaoliangshan-Nanyishan-Dafengshan region in the southwest of the Qaidam Basin. Rapid erosion of K- and Na-rich intermediate-acidic rocks during the Hualixi and Indosinian periods carried mineralizing materials into the Qaidam Basin via water bodies during the Paleocene-Oligocene epochs. Hot springs rising along basement faults introduced elements such as boron and lithium into the lake basin, thus establishing the first stage of paleo-lake basin formation and the migration and replenishment of mineralizing elements.
[0083] During the Oligocene, the surrounding mountain ranges blocked warm, moist air from entering the basin. Consequently, the Qaidam Basin has generally experienced a colder climate than in the early Cenozoic, characterized by low recharge and high evaporation. This led to increased evaporation and concentration of paleolake water, resulting in a rapid increase in salinity. This resulted in the deposition of gypsum, halite, and other solid salt minerals within the strata. In the western basin, sedimentary centers such as Shizigou, Nanyishan, Xiaoliangshan, and Dafengshan gradually concentrated water to form highly mineralized brines, marking the second phase of evaporation and concentration, and the enrichment of ore-forming elements.
[0084] Under the influence of cyclical climate change, changes in recharge, and shifts in the sedimentary environment, a sedimentary sequence with alternating coarse-medium-fine distribution was formed during the sedimentation of the paleo-lake basin. The coarse-grained facies is a favorable reservoir for brine deposits. As sedimentation continued and the sedimentary environment changed, the brine deposits initially contained within the coarse-grained strata were sealed by fine-grained caprocks, forming sedimentary metamorphic brines. This marked the third stage of reservoir formation and brine storage.
[0085] Since the Pliocene, the central and western parts of the basin have been subject to north-south compression, resulting in overall fold uplift, forming the predominantly northwest-west-trending fold belts, including the Kunbei-Xiongxiongling open fold belt, the Yingbei parallel linear fold belt, and the central en echelon fold belt. During the formation of these fold structures, compressional stresses dominated in synclines and tensile stresses in anticlines. Potassium-, boron-, and lithium-rich brines trapped in the strata were squeezed and migrated toward the anticlines, forming deep-seated fissure-pore brine deposits. This marked the fourth stage of tectonic uplift and migration mineralization.
[0086] This metallogenic model diagram comprehensively reflects the metallogenic process of the Nanyishan tectonic fissure-pore brine deposit (Nanyishan brine deposit) in Qinghai Province, and has guiding significance for prospecting and prediction of resources of this type of brine deposit.
[0087] The present invention is applicable to the basic research of anticline structural fissure-pore type brine lithium resources in my country, and can provide the most direct and accurate information for the development and utilization of anticline structural fissure-pore type brine lithium resources in my country.
[0088] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
