Abstract:
       In order to systematically reveal the metallogenic mechanism and distribution patterns of the fluorite deposit in Zhouzhuang, Tianmu Mountain, this study, based on existing exploration data, systematically collected samples using a grid method and conducted research on the material composition and isotopic characteristics of the ore through X-ray diffraction and mass spectrometry. The results show that calcium (52.18%) and fluorine (45.85%) are the main components of the ore, while the contents of other elements are all below 0.5%. The Sm-Nd isotopic system exhibits good consistency, with the metallogenic age concentrated between 120.3 Ma and 124.7 Ma. Vertically, the contents of calcium and fluorine increase with depth, peaking at 39.2 m. The study indicates that the deposit has a high fluorite content, its mineralization is significantly influenced by carbonate rocks, and it exhibits vertical elemental zoning. The findings can provide a basis for regional fluorite resource exploration and research on metallogenic patterns.
