AbstractThe Liwu Cu-rich sulfide deposit occurs within the Jianglang dome in the eastern margin of the Tibetan plateau. The dome consists of a core, a middle slab and a cover sequence. The main deposit is hosted in the core with minor ore bodies in the middle slab. The protolith of the core consists of clastic sedimentary rocks with inter-layered volcanic rocks. All of the ore bodies are substantially controlled by an extensional detachment fault system. The ore bodies within the core are distributed along the S 2 foliation in the hinge of recumbent fold (D 2), whereas ore bodies with en echelon arrangement are controlled by the mylonitic foliation of the lower detachment fault. Ore bodies within the middle slab are oriented with their axes parallel to the mylonitic foliation. Pyrite and pyrrhotite from the ores contain Co ranging from 37 to 1985 ppm, Ni from 2.5 to 28.1 ppm, and Co/Ni ratios from 5 to 71. These sulfides have δ 34S values ranging from 1.5 to 7.5 ‰ whereas quartz separates have δ 18O values of 11.9 and 14.3‰ and inclusion fluid in quartz has δD value of -88.1 ‰. These features suggest that the deposit was of hydrothermal origin. Two ore-forming stages are recognized in the evolution of the Jianglang dome. (1) A low-temperature ore-forming process, during the tectonic transport of the upper plate above the lower detachment, and the initial phase of the footwall updoming at 192-177 Ma. (2) A medium-temperature ore-forming stage, related to the final structural development of the initial detachment at 131-81Ma. Within the core, the ore bodies of the first stage were uplifted to, or near, the brittle/ductile horizon where the ore-forming metals were re-concentrated and enriched. A denudation stage in which a compressional tectonic event produced eastward thrusting overprinted the previous structures, and finally denuded the deposit. The Liwu Cu-rich sulfide deposit was formed during a regional extensional tectonic event and is defined as a tectono-strata-bound hydrothermal ore deposit.
