Abstract:

Rubidium,as one of the rare metals,plays an increasingly prominent role in military and civilian fields.The granite rubidium deposit is the main type of rubidium ore with high economic value.Recently,lots of exploration achievements and research progress have been made in the granite rubidium deposit,but there is no systematic summary and review.In addition,as the national strategic resource and an important reserve base of critical metals,the prospecting direction of rubidium deposit in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are still unclear.This paper summarized and reviewed the granite type rubidium deposit from the metallogenic age,geological background,ore-controlling structure,ore-bearing rocks,geological characteristics of deposit and metallogenic mechanism.Then,combined with the new exploration achievements of rubidium deposit in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,reveal its metallogeny and exploration direction of rubidium deposit. For the subsequent exploration evaluation and theoretical research of granite-type rubidium deposits,the occurrence state,fluid characteristics and source of rubidium can be identified by mineralogical evidence,such as microscopic identification,backscattering and scanning electron microscopy,combined with current cutting-edge analytical techniques and methods,such as electron probe,LA-ICP-MS analysis and in-situ O isotope analysis.Furthermore,the process and genesis mechanism of rubidium mineralization were revealed.According to the specific geological characteristics of different metallogenic zones,based on the study of regional geological background,magmatic activity,rock properties and tectonic interpretation,the metallogenic dynamic background of different zones was summarized.A systematic comparative study was carried out on the ore-bearing and non-ore-bearing rock masses of several large and ultra-large granitic rubidium deposits to reveal their petrogeochemical characteristics in detail and clarify the mineralization specificity.At the same time,it is recommended to use the frontier conventional and unconventional isotope analysis,such as micro situ oxygen isotope,lithium isotope,etc.,to explore the source of ore-forming materials (rubidium,fluid) in detail.According to the research results,three prospecting direction are recommended.The first is by looking for the high differentiation granite as the rubidium vision area.The second is,by combining with the comprehensive analysis of infrared spectral characteristics,to explore albitization,greisenization,Tianhe petrochemical altered minerals and fluorite,topaz and other fluorides.The last is to use geophysical prospecting method for delineating magnetic anomaly and IP anomaly center,these methods have a good indicative significance for finding granitic rubidium deposits.

Key words: granite type rubidium deposit, critical metals, Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, metallogenic potential, prospecting direction
