    Abstract:

    The Deep Drilling Pprogram, namely SinoProbe-03-06, was implemented at Zhuanqiao, Lujiang City, Anhui Province, where thorium and uranium anomalies were found, which might indicate a high temperature mineralization style of uranium deposit in the depth of the basin. Abundant tourmaline-group minerals were found in the core, which could be classified into at least three types. The minerals exhibit some general features: ① sector and oscillatory chemical zoning of crystals; ② formation in high temperature; ③ Fe-Al, Fe-Mg coupled substitution; ④ high Mg content and evolution of varieties from Al-rich to Fe3+-rich through Fe-Al coupled substitution caused by the increase of fO2. Tourmalines usually occur in high-temperature hydrothermal deposits and can be taken as efficient indicators for both prospecting and exploration of these important mineral deposits. The study indicates that the fO2 of the fluids was rising and the fluids carried plenty of volatile materials such as F, B and H2O with the evolution of the tourmaline, which provided a favorable environment for the formation of U6+ and the migration of some useful elements. These data also present some constraints on features of the fluids in the deep basin.
