      Abstract
    • To clarify the deformation sequence and ore-controlling structures of the Longwangjiang Au-Sb ore-field in West Hunan, as well as to reveal the age and tectonic setting of its formation, it conducted detailed structural analyses and LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating of ore-bearing quartz vein hydrothermal zircon. Additionally, it comprehensively analyzed regional tectonic evolution and age data. The study area underwent six stages of structural deformation events, progressing from early to late: Late Silurian NW-NWW compression, late Middle Triassic NW-NWW compression, late Late Triassic near SN compression, late Middle Jurassic NWW compression, Cretaceous regional NW-SE extension, and Mid-Late Cenozoic NEE-NE compression. The LA-ICP-MS U-Pb age of the quartz vein hydrothermal zircon was determined to be (211.8±4.8) Ma. The comprehensive analysis suggests that: mineralization primarily occurred during the Late Triassic (211-206 Ma) and the formation of the Longwangjiang ore-field is associated with late-stage hydrothermal activity triggered by the collision of the Indochina period with the South China margin during the intracontinental collision phase. The ore-field is situated within a block confined by the reverse thrust of the Longwangjiang fault (F1) and the Heitupo fault (F2). The F1 and F3 faults serve as ore-guiding structures, while the NE-NNE-trending strong foliated zones (shear zones) and the Jiangdongwan fault serve as ore-distributing and ore-bearing structures simultaneously. The ore-distributing and ore-bearing structures in the deep parts of the ore deposit have great mineral exploration potential; the Taojinping-Huomaotang area is a key region for exploration due to concentrated structural stress.
