Zinc Deposits

Small iron-formations in Grenville metasediments have been examined as possible lateral stratigraphic equivalents of stratiform zinc deposits located along the western margin of the Mount Laurier Basin in the Maniwaki–Gracefleld area, Quebec. Similarities in carbonate and amphibolite units hosting the iron and zinc deposits tend to confirm this concept. Sphalerite sparsely disseminated along a dolomitic bed adjacent to the iron-formations, and the iron-formations themselves, are interpreted as the distal extremities of the massive sphalerite lenses found in the proximity of thick amphibolitic strata close to the (fault-bounded?) basin margin. A submarine exhalative model generating proximal zinc and distal iron deposits is proposed to explain this metal zoning. Originally the iron-formations probably consisted of sedimentary siderite that has been transformed under intense metamorphism to the present magnetite–graphite assemblage.

Exploration And Development

Diagenetic evolution is an important controlling factor of shale gas reservoirs. In this study, based on field outcrop and drilling core data, analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope combined with a focused ion beam (FIB-FESEM), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses were performed to determine the diagenetic evolution of the Longmaxi Formation shale and reveal the effect of diagenetic evolution on the shale gas exploration and development in the Sichuan Basin, Southwest China. The eodiagenesis phase was subdivided into two evolution stages, and the mesodiagenesis phase was subdivided into three evolution stages in the basin margin and center. Absorbed capacity and artificial fracturing effect of the Longmaxi Formation shale gas were related to mineral composition, which was influenced by sedimentary characteristics and diagenetic evolution. The diagenetic system in the basin margin was more open than that in the basin center due to a different burial history. The more open diagenetic system, with more micro-fractures and soluble constitute (e.g., feldspar), was in favor for the formation and preservation of secondary dissolved pores and organic pores in the basin margin. The relatively closed diagenetic system with stronger compaction resulted in deformation of pore space in the central basin.
