| Abstract/Notes | The evolution of ore-forming fluids in gold precipitation is a key aspect in understanding the genesis of orogenic gold deposits. Traditional fluid inclusion analyses are often limited in revealing the fluid property changes during mineralization, leading to significant debates on the mineralization temperature and fluid sources. In this study, we selected the Liba gold deposit in the West Qinling orogen and employed scanning electron microscopeācathodoluminescence (SEM-CL) and laser ablationāinductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) to analyze the microstructure and trace element characteristics of quartz veins, revealing the multi-stage evolution of ore-forming fluids and the mineralization mechanisms. SEM-CL imaging identified five distinct quartz stages. The pre-mineralization (Qz0) and early-stage mineralization (Qz1) fluids were predominantly magmaticāmetamorphic in origin, as indicated by relatively high Ī“18O and Ī“D values. During the primary metallogenic (Qz2a, Qz2b) and late-stage mineralization (Qz3), temperatures progressively decreased, and the gradual mixing of meteoric water and formation water was observed, which promoted gold precipitation. And the content of trace elements in post-mineralization quartz (Qz4) is significantly lower and similar to that in the Qz0 stage. Through the analysis of quartz trace elements (e.g., Al/Ti, Ge/Al ratios) and isotope data (Ī“18O = 8.25ā° to 12.67ā°, Ī“D = ā119.1ā° to ā79.8ā°), the results indicate that the Liba gold deposit is a medium- to low-temperature orogenic gold deposit. Furthermore, the gold enrichment process was primarily driven by a hydrothermal system, with variations in the fluid composition during mineralization contributing to the concentration of gold. |
