Numerical Simulations of Structural Deformation and Fluid Flow in Xiangshan Deposit
چکیده انگلیسی

The Xiangshan deposit in Jiangxi province is one of the most important uranium deposits in China. The aim of this study is to achieve a better understanding of mineralization in the Xiangshan deposit through numerical simulation. In order to find the most favorable locations of mineralization and to help further mineral exploration, a coupling deformation and fluid flow model has been established to describe the mineralization process. In this model, the simulation reconstructs the strata deformations under fields of compressive stress and thrust structure on the hanging wall of the Zou-Shi fault. Compared with practical information, the simulation results are consistent with the No. 51 exploration section of the western Xiangshan. In addition, on the basis of geological information provided by previous investigators, the model simulates the flow process of fluids under compressive stress fields. The result suggests that many tensional areas are formed, which can help the fluid flowing upward from deeper parts. The fluid is easy to concentrate on the breccia fractured zone between two volcanic layers, especially on the intersection parts with faults, resulting in the formation of favourable locations of mineralization. In addition, the model is significant in guiding the exploration of uranium deposits in the western Xiangshan and provides clues for further exploration of deposits.
