| Abstract/Notes | The gold deposit offshore of Northern Sanshandao is an ultra-large-scale gold deposit discovered in the Jiaodong ore area in recent years. This deposit is a fractured-zone altered-rock-type gold deposit; however, its ore genesis and precise mineralization processes are still highly controversial. Based on petrographical observation, the trace elements, sulfur isotopes, and rubidium–strontium isotopes of the gold-bearing pyrite were analyzed using LA-MC-ICP-MS to obtain the source of the ore-forming fluids and ore genesis. The results show that Au has a good positive correlation with Ag, As, and Cu. It is speculated that the As in the pyrite of the gold deposit offshore of Northern Sanshandao is in the form of As−, replacing S− and entering the pyrite, causing its lattice defects, and thus promoting the entry of Au+ into the gold-bearing pyrite. The Co/Ni ratios mainly range between 0.1 and 10, indicating that the mineralization process has experienced different forms of hydrothermal evolution and the mixing of different fluids. The results of the in-situ sulfur isotope analysis show that pyrite δ34S in the mineralization period is characterized by a high sulfur value. The authors of this study believe that the initial sulfur isotope composition has mantle-derived components. The large-scale, deep cutting, and high degree of fragmentation in the Sanshandao fault zone are conducive to the interaction between fluids and rocks, as well as the mixing and addition of seawater, resulting in the characteristic high δ34S value. The Sr isotopic compositions indicate a crust–mantle mixing attribute of the mineralized material source. The Rb–Sr isochron age of the pyrite is 118.5 ± 0.65 Ma, which represents the age of gold mineralization. According to the characteristics of the trace elements and sulfur isotopes, it is inferred that the gold deposit minerals offshore of Northern Sanshandao originated from deep magmatic-hydrothermal reservoirs, and the mixing of seawater and Au–As-rich hydrothermal fluids was the formation mechanism of huge amounts of gold precipitation. |
