Identification of factors affecting Li-mineralizing potential is crucial for understanding Li pegmatites genesis. This study on the Bailongshan Li pegmatite district reveals that cooling rate plays a significant role in controlling Li isotopic compositions, with high cooling rate favoring the formation of Li pegmatites.
Identification of possible factors that affect Li-mineralizing potential is important to the understanding of the genesis of Li pegmatites. This study provides a comprehensive characterization of the recently discovered Bailongshan Li pegmatite district based on geochronological, petrological, mineralogical, thermal modeling, and Li isotopic data. Columbite-(Fe) U-Pb dating of two pegmatite dikes indicates they were emplaced at 212.3 +/- 0.9 and 213.9 +/- 0.7 Ma. The spodumene-absent pegmatite dikes yield substantially higher delta Li-7 values (+2.0 parts per thousand to +4.9 parts per thousand) than spodumene-bearing dikes (-1.9 parts per thousand to +0.8 parts per thousand). Modeling of Li isotopic fractionation during fractional crystallization, fluid exsolution, and diffusion after pegmatite emplacement indicates that the lighter Li isotopic compositions of spodumene-bearing pegmatites are attributable to fluid exsolution or diffusion-driven fractionation of short duration, whereas the heavier isotopic compositions of spodumene-absent pegmatites can be attributed to longer-duration, diffusion-driven fractionation. Together with the results of thermal modeling, we suggest that the cooling rate of pegmatite dikes was an important factor controlling the Li isotopic compositions of pegmatites and slower cooling caused heavier Li isotopic compositions. It may have important implications for the ore-forming potential of Li in pegmatites that high cooling rate is beneficial for forming Li pegmatites.
