Hydrocarbon-rich Basin Fluid with Reductibility and Metallogenic Mechanism for Glutenite-type Cu-Pb-Zn-U Deposits in the Western of Tarim Basin

The important Mesozoic-Cenozoic glutenite-type Cu-Pb-Zn-U metallogenic belts are located at the western of Tarim Basin. The large-size Sareke glutenite-type Cu deposit and Wulagen Pb-Zn deposit are in the development period. They still have high potential exploration; however, the metallogenic mechanism is not clear, so that it is difficult for metallogenic prediction and prospecting. The tectonic and geochemical lithofacies show that the basin system including foreland, intermountain and hinterland basins around Southwest Tianshan orogenic belt, has different controls on glutenite-type Cu, Pb-Zn and U deposits. Firstly, the Mesozoic intermontane pull-apart graben basin in Sarekebayi, which is a secondary basin attached to Tuoyun Mesozoic-Cenozoic hinterland basin, is located at the northern of Southwest Tianshan orogenic belt. The Sareke glutenite-type Cu deposit is hosted by amaranthine irony conglomerate in the upper part of the Upper Jurassic Kuzigongsu Formation in this basin. Secondly, Wulagen glutenite-type Pb-Zn deposit is hosted between the upper part of the Lower Cretaceous Kezilesu Group and the bottom of Palaeogene located at the foreland basin of the southern part of Southwest Tianshan orogenic belt. However, Bashibulake large-size glutenite-type U deposit is hosted in the Cretaceous Kezilesu Group of Jiashi foreland basin. Finally, the glutenite-type Cu deposit is hosted in the Oligocene-Miocene and the top of the Palaeogene in the foreland basin system. Tectonic petrography features identifying the hydrocarbon-rich basin fluid include bituminization alteration, bituminization-discolorous alteration, and multiple coupling patterns between cataclastic lithification and bituminization alteration. Nevertheless, the geochemical petrography features include the rich total organic carbon (TOC), and the hydrocarbon-bearing salt-water, gas-liquid-gas/liquid hydrocarbon, light oil and asphalt from organic matter inclusions in the mineral inclusions, and the ore-forming fluids with low and middle salinities, and the orebody of Cu-Ag-Mo intergrowth, and the oxidized facies Cu, sulfured facies Cu and Mo sulfides. Therefore, the metallogenic mechanism of glutenite-type Cu-Pb-Zn-U deposits is clear. Firstly, the hydrocarbon source rocks have given off the hydrocarbon feeders by the sny-faults after tectonic inversion from the strike-slip sag to compressional deformation. Secondly, the tectonic lithofacies zones, including tectonic inversion zones, regional uncomformity, detachment tectonic belts, conglomerates with high porosity and permeability, are the tectonic tunnels for the large-scale migration of hydrocarbon-rich basin fluid. Thirdly, the argillaceous siltstones and gypsum-bearing mudstones from the conglomerates with high porosity and permeability are the signs of tectonic petrography for lithostratigraphic traps. Finally, large-scale hydrocarbon-rich basin fluid and Cu-bearing amaranthine irony conglomerate (oxidized Cu) have multiple-phase fluids and multiple-coupling structure, and maybe the mechanism for the large-scale enrichment mineralization of glutenite-type Cu deposit; the mineralization of brine with lower temperature superimposed by hydrocarbon-rich basin fluid maybe the mechanism for the enrichment mineralization of glutenite-type Pb-Zn deposit; the multiple mixing of hydrocarbon-rich basin fluid and the reduction of oxidized U maybe the mechanism for the enrichment mineralization of glutenite-type U deposit.
