Abstract
Using the high-precision (±0.02%) MC-ICP-MS method, the lead isotopic composition of galena from four Late Cretaceous (95-85 Ma) tin ore deposits of the Khingan-Bajal-Komsomolskaya metallogenic zone (KhBKZ), which is part of the Khingan-Sikhote-Alin ore province (KhSAP), was studied. In comparison with other previously studied KhSAP tin deposits, the KhSAP ore lead has lower isotopic ratios ranging as 206Pb/204Pb = 18.359-18.497, 207Pb/204Pb = 15.565-15.588, and 208Pb/204Pb = 38.369-38.404. In the 206Pb/204Pb-207Pb/204Pb diagram, the points of the KhBKZ lead isotopic compositions of the are located significantly below of orogenic evolution curve (according to the Zartman-Doe model) and the average crustal curve (µ2 = 9.74) according to the Stacey-Kramers model. According to these evolutionary characteristics, as well as the values of the Th/U parameter and the Tm model age, the KhBKZ ore lead differs from KhCAP lead, indicating a significant difference in the geochemical and geodynamic conditions of the KhBKZ deposits formation. In particular, it indicates a limited contribution of the continental crust, a significant role of mantle lead origin and the participation of a regional mantle source in the formation of tin-bearing granitoid magmas. Model calculations of the lead balance of mantle and crustal sources in the ore lead of KhCAP and KhBKZ show that for KhCAP the contribution of the mantle source was less than 50%, and, in the case of KhBKZ, it could reach 70-90%. Perhaps the main geological factor that caused the noticeable participation of mantle lead in the KhBKZ deposits was the environment of their formation: unlike the KhCAP, these deposits were formed in the environment of a transform margin, when due to the interaction of moving plates, a larger admission of mantle into the zone of granite formation and ore deposition occurred. Under these conditions, the oceanic plate could breakaway with the admission of the hot asthenosphere into the accretion prism.
