By use of acoustic emission (AE), convergence inspection, pressure monitoring,level measurement techniques and the modem signal analysis technology, as well as scan electronmicroscopy (SEM) experiment, various aspects of nonlinear dynamic damage of composite rock masssurrounding the transport roadway in Linglong gold mine are discussed. According to the monitoringresults, the stability of the rock mass can be synthetically evaluated, and the intrinsic relationbetween the damage and the characteristic parameters of acoustic emission can be determined. Thelocation of the damage of rock mass can also be detected based on the acoustic emission couplemonitoring signals. Finally, the key factors which influence the stability of the transport roadwaysupported by composite hard rock materials are found out.展开更多

The results show that there exist three-phase CO2-bearing and two-phase aqueous inclusions in gold ore; the fluid of NaC1-H2O-CO2 system went through immiscibility in ore-forming process. Ore-forming fluids were of low salinity （0. 82%- 5.40% NaCleqv）, low density （0. 54-0.93 g/cm3 ） ; mineralization temperature were concentrated in 320℃-340℃ , with ore-forming pressure in 62-126 MPa and mineralization depth in 6.34-9.35 kin. The fluid inclusions in quartz are generally characterized by a small amount of CO2 and Na. Combined with recent results of the isotopic analysis for fluid inclusions and dating data, it was indicated that the main ore-forming fluids derived mainly from source of mantle-derived fluids with a small amount of magmatic fluid and meteoric water. The genetic type was mesothermal gold deposits involved by mantle-derived fluids.展开更多

These gold deposits can be divided into: a) the pyrite-gold-quartz vein type (Linglong type), which is controlled by brittle-ductile to ductile deformation structures, and b) the alteration-zone type (Jiaojia type), characterized by small veinlets, or the disseminated type recognized in brittle shear zones. Lode gold deposits in the Jiaojia area occur in NE brittle fracture zones, formed in a dominantly simple shear deformation regime, mainly in thrust attitude with a minor sinistral strike slip component. In the Linglong area, the lode gold deposits are located at the intersection of three types of structures: NNE and NE brittle-ductile fault zones and the ENE ductile reverse shear zone in the south of the area. The structural characteristics of these brittle shear zones are consistent with a tectonic NNW-SSE principal stress field orientation. Similar stresses explain the ENE Qixia fold axes, the Potouqing and several other ENE reverse ductile shear zones elsewhere in the region, the Tancheng-Lujiang fault zone and its subsidiaries in the vicinity of the Linglong-Jiaojia district, as well as the southern ENE suture zone north of Qingdao. Therefore these structural systems occurred as part of different major tectonic events under NNW-SSE compression principal stress fields in the area. Gold deposits are hosted in smaller-scale structures within the brittle fault zones and brittle-ductile shear zones. Although ore bodies and, on a smaller scale, quartz ore veins often seem to be randomly oriented, it is possible to explain their distribution and orientation in terms of the simple shear deformation process under which they were developed. The progressive simple shear failure is characterized by various fracture modes (tension and shear) that intervene in sequence. The tension and shear fractures are influenced by the stress level (depth of burial beneath the paleosurface) in their structural behavior, show variable dilatancy (void openings) and extend on all scales. By making use of these characteristics, a progressive failure analysis can be applied to predicting the shape and extent of ore bodies as well as the styles of mineralization at any given location.展开更多

The Rb-Sr data of pyrites yield an isochron age of (121.6±8.1) Ma, whereas those of ore and ore-pyrite spread in two ranges from 120.0 to 121.8 Ma and from 110.0 to 111.7 Ma. Studies of characteristic of gold deposit and microscopy of pyrite and quartz indicate that the apparent ages of ore and ore-pyrite are not isochron ages, only mixed by two end members, i.e. the primitive hydrothermal fluids and wall rocks, whereas the isochron age of pyrite sub-samples constrains the age of gold mineralization (121.6±8.1) Ma, i.e. early Cretaceous, which is in good agreement with the published SHRIMP zircon U-Pb ages.展开更多

Thanks to its weight of over 29 kg, exceeding the limit weight (5 kg) of super large nugget, it is named “Superlarge-Linglong” nugget (Superlarge-Linglong). Observed by either naked eye or microscopy, both the Superlarge-Linglong and adjacent scattered-veinlet visible gold are composed of high-purity (903) native gold, exnclud-ing any other minerals. The Superlarge-Linglong does not cut the other types of gold ore bodies made up of high-purity micro electrum. There is, in other ore bodies and siliceous sericitolite, visi-ble gold with similar purity to it and close space-time and genetic relation to it, indicating that it is younger than other ore bodies and siliceous sericitolite. The Superlarge-Linglong and adjacent visible gold are caused by the independent nugget-visible gold metallogenetic stage.展开更多
