Abstract

The mineralization of collision orogeny is an important part of continental dynamics. For the process of continental dynamics of Shandong, adoption of tectonic facies mapping is main carrier and specific expression form to these researches such as divergence of continental mass, convergence, collision and orogeny. Shandong tectonic facies mapping of 1:500000 scale worked out by author shows that there are two very important events of collision orogeny in Mesozoic this areaIndochina and Yanshan collision orogeny. The Indochina orogeny is mainly characterized as subduction from Yangtze to North China Plates, based on which Sulu high-ultra high pressure zone of metamorphism, syn-orogenic granite and post-orogenic high alkali sinaite are formed. Continental dynamics environment of the Yanshan orogeny derives from transformation from Central Asia-Tethys tectonic domain to marginal-Pacific tectonic domain and subduction of Pacific plates, and it appears as three orogenys and three stretching in the east of Shandong. Magmatic rocks of orogeny related with gold ores can be divided into four combinations as follows: Linglong gneissic granite of the early orogenic period (J3), Guojialing granodiorite-granite of the middle orogenic period (K1), Weideshan diorite-granodiorite-granite of the late orogenic period (K1) and A-type Laoshan geode parlkaline alkali granitesyenogranite of the post orogenic period. For combination of Guojialing granodiorite-granite of the middle orogenic period, SHRIMP U-Pb ages concentrate in 130~126Ma, which are closely related with emplacement of gold ores, and formed ages of gold ores this area concentrate in 115~120Ma, which basically stand for the age of main mineralization period. Polymetallic ores are related with combination of Weideshan diorite-granodiorite-granite of the late orogenic period, and it was also the superimposed mineralization period in the east of Shandong. Tectonics-magma activities and gold ores mineralization are controlled by interaction of three tectonic domains that are tethys, Paleo-Asian Ocean and Pacific. Dynamics background of gold ores this area is transition of tectonic system and lithospheric thinning in Mesozoic, which is related with collision of North China and Yangtze Plates and subduction of Pacific Plates.
