Wells CXD1 and CX2 have uncovered high-concentration potassium-and lithium-containing brines and substantial layers of halite-type polyhalite potash deposits within the 4th and 5th members of the Triassic Jialingjiang...Wells CXD1 and CX2 have uncovered high-concentration potassium-and lithium-containing brines and substantial layers of halite-type polyhalite potash deposits within the 4th and 5th members of the Triassic Jialingjiang Formation and the 1st Member of Leikoupo Formation(Jia 4 Member,Jia 5 Member,and Lei 1 Member)in the Puguang area,Sichuan Basin.These discoveries mark significant breakthroughs in the exploration of deep marine potassium and lithium resources within the Sichuan Basin.Utilizing the concept of“gas-potassium-lithium integrated exploration”and incorporating drilling,logging,seismic,and geochemical data,we have investigated the geological and enrichment conditions,as well as the metallogenic model of potassium-rich and lithium-rich brines and halite-type polyhalite.First,the sedimentary systems of gypsum-dolomite flats,salt lakes and evaporated flats were developed in Jia 4 Member,Jia 5 Member,and the 1st member of Leikoupo Formation(Lei 1 Member)in northeastern Sichuan Basin,forming three large-scale salt-gathering and potassium formation centers in Puguang,Tongnanba and Yuanba,and developing reservoirs with potassium-rich and lithium-rich brines,which are favorable for the deposition of potassium and lithium resources in both solid or liquid phases.Second,the soluble halite-type polyhalite has a large thickness and wide distribution,and the reservoir brine has a high content of K+and Li+.A solid-liquid superimposed“three-story structure”(with the lower thin-layer of brine reservoir in lower part of Jia 4 Member and Jia 5 Member,middle layer of halite-type polyhalite potash depositS,upper layer of potassium-rich and lithium-rich brine reservoir in Lei 1 Member)is formed.Third,the ternary enrichment and mineralization patterns for potassium and lithium resources were determined.Vertical superposition of polyhalite and green bean rocks is the mineral material basis of potassium-lithium resources featuring“dual-source replenishment and proximal-source release”,with primary seawater and gypsum dehydration as the main sources of deep brines,while multi-stage tectonic modification is the key to the enrichment of halite-type polyhalite and potassiumlithium brines.Fourth,the ore-forming process has gone through four stages:salt-gathering and potassium-lithium accumulation period,initial water-rock reaction period,transformation and aggregation period,and enrichment and finalization period.During this process,the halite-type polyhalite layer in Jia 4 Member and Jia 5 Member is the main target for potassium solution mining,while the brine layer in Lei 1 Member is the focus of comprehensive potassium-lithium exploration and development.展开更多
