The Mineralized Zone No.Ⅰat the Halasu copper deposit in Qinghe County is situated in Kalaxiange'er porphyry copper belt.The copper-bearing minerals mainly occur in the form of heterogeneous gobbets,veinlets and veinlet-disseminated in the granodiorite porphyry,quartz diorite porphyry,basalt and pyroxene phenocrysts basalt.Two types of fluid inclusions,namely H_2O-NaCl and H_2O-CO_2(±CH_4/N_2)-NaCl types,have been recognized in quartz and calcite from the ore.Homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions vary from 120 to 431℃,with three temperature peaks at 390,290 and 190℃.Salinity ranges from 0.53%to 66.76%NaCl_(eqv),with four peaks at 19.5%NaCl_(eqv),12.5%NaCl_(eqv),9.5%NaCl_(eqv)and 1.5%Na-Cl_(eqv). Ore fluid densities range from 0.55 to 1.11 g/cm~3.Theδ~(18)O_(smow)values of quartz and calcite in the ore vein range from 2.9‰to 12.3‰with correspondingδ~(18)O_(fluid)values of-5.81‰to 4.83‰andδD values of fluid inclusions between-129‰and-80‰.The isotopic data imply that the ore-forming fluids of the Halasu copper deposit were mainly derived from magmatic fluids,with some contributions from meteoric water.Theδ~(13)C_(pdb)values of calcite define a narrow range of-2.4‰to-1.4‰andδ~(18)O_(smow)values range from 8.3‰to 9.2‰indicating that the carbon in the ore fluids was mainly derived from magma.Re-Os dating was performed on molybdenite from molybdenite vein,which yielded isochron ages of(378.3±5.6)Ma.This isochron age is coincident with the age of 381-375 Ma from granodiorite porphyry pluton within error range.Early mineralization formed in the Middle Devonian,which was closely related to porphyry systems.The Late-Middle tectonic-magmatic-hydrothermal-mineralization overlapped the early porphyry mineralization in the Halasu copper deposit.
