封面故事:西藏阿里改则县多龙矿集区拿厅铜多金属矿床深部发现世界级富金铜矿体, 封面图片展示其金品位1 g/t以上的富金铜矿体, 厚度近400 m。勘查和研究发现该铜(金)矿已成为国内第一、世界前二十的世界级富金斑岩铜多金属矿。高品位铜、金矿体赋存于黄铁绢英岩化与钾硅化蚀变过渡带, 并发育大量磁铁矿、硬石膏等指示性矿物。矿床特征与同一矿集区的 铁格隆南矿床相似, 但金品位更高, 矿床类型为斑岩-高硫化浅成低温热液叠加型矿床。正在勘查的地堡那木岗铜(金)矿是拿厅铜(金)矿体的西延部分, 经成矿预测, 拿厅—地堡那木岗铜(金)矿共伴生金将超40个大型金矿规模, 铜资源规模将超千万吨。详见本期951-959页。(图片提供: 杨超)
Cover Story:A world-class high-grade gold orebody is dis-covered at depth in the Nating porphyry copper polymetallic deposit, Duolong district, Xizang. The photo shows the high-grade gold orebody of over 1 g/t, with nearly 400 m thickness. Explo-ration and research have revealed that its gold resources have become the 1st in China and among top 20 in the world. The high-grade copper and gold orebodies occur in the transition zone be-tween phyllic alteration and potassic- silicic al-teration, and contain abundant indicator minerals such as magnetite and anhydrite. The deposit is classified as a porphyry-high sulfi-dation epithermal overprinting deposit, similar to the Tiegelongnan deposit in the Duolong dis-trict, but has a higher gold grade. The Dibaonamugang copper (gold) deposit is the western extension of the Nating orebody, fu-ture exploration will increase the associated gold resources of the Nating–Dibaonamugang copper (gold) deposit to around 40 times over large-scale gold deposit, with copper resources over 10 million tons. Therefore, the global ranking of the copper-gold resources of the Nating–Dibaonamugang deposit will be further elevated. Research on the mechanisms for gold enrichment and the modification- preservation of the deposit will be the focus of further studies. For further details, see pp. 951-959 of this issue.
