Abstract

Tsogttsetsii area, an intrusive complex associated with Cu mineralization, is located in the South Gobi, Mongolia. We performed the cross geochemical and extended exploration survey in Tsogttsetsii area. Cu mineralization in Tsogttsetsii area is porphyry Cu type related with alkali granite intruded in Late Carboniferous to Early Permian. In the concentrated occurring to malachite appears extensively prophylitic alteration zone having a chlorite and epidote. As results of the survey, Cu contents of potable XRF and of chemical composition for altered rocks ranges 1.08 to 18.3% in the 30 points and 1.08 to 32.9% in the 13 points, respectively. Ore minerals identified in XRD analysis and polarizing microscope that samples of copper oxides were composed mainly of malachite, azurite, permingeatite and cuprite and the other minerals are pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrargyrite, dickite, calcite, chlorite and epidote. Mineralization can be considered occurring to selectively some granite of the surrounding aplite and faults in the only upper part coming up the hydrothermal solution of the remaining residual magma after the aplite intrusion.

촉트체치 지역은 남고비에 위치하며 석탄기 후기에서 페름기 초기에 관입한 흑운모 화강암 중 일부가 반암이 관입하면서 알카리 화강암화 된 부분과 관련된 동 광상이다. 말라카이트가 집중적으로 산출되는 지역은 녹니석, 녹렴석으로 변질된 프로필리틱 변질대가 광범위하게 나타난다. 격자지구화학탐사와 연장부 조사 결과 말라카이트가 산출되는 곳은 30개 지점으로 휴대용 XRF로 측정한 동함량은 1.080~18.300%로 나타났으며, 화학분석 결과 동함량은 13개 지점에서 각각 1.080%~32.900로 높게 나타났다. X-선 회전 분석결과와 현미경 관찰결과 동광물은 말라카이트가 주이며, 남동석, 퍼민제타이트, 황철석과 황동석 등이 가끔 산출되며, 그 외에 은 광물인 능홍은석이 산출된다. 또한 열수변질광물인 딕카이트가 산출되며, 변질산물인 방해석, 녹니석, 녹염석 등도 산출된다. 광화작용은 반암관입 후에 남은 잔류마그마에서 열수용액이 올라오면서 반암 주변 일부 화강암과 정단층 상반부에만 선택적으로 일어난 것으로 사료된다.
