In the research of metal deposits and prospecting and exploration, the source of metal and its metallogenic process are the key issues.

However, from the perspective of metallogeny, these elements are not metallogenic elements themselves. Therefore, the traditional isotope geochemical study of metal deposits is indirect and speculative, and the exploration risk is high.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the invention is to provide a method for judging resource potential based on metal stable isotope fractionation model, which solves the problem that the existing isotope geochemistry research has certain indirection and speculation in metal deposit research and prospecting survey, and reduces the 1

S6. Combined with the study of geological characteristics, mineralogy, mineralogy and petrography of the deposit, the fractionation mechanism of Sb isotope was determined at first. As shown in Figure 6, according to the reduction 9
DESCRIPTION boulangerite, it is determined that the Sb isotope value gradually becomes heavier from the early period to the late period, which corresponds to the trend that the Sb isotope value gradually becomes heavier from deep to shallow along the ore body tendency spatially, which restricts the spatial evolution mode of ore-forming hydrothermal fluid from deep to shallow along the ore body tendency (Figure 6); Then it can be judged that the ore body should extend from the deep part to the surface, and there is still great prospecting potential in the deep part.
S7. Select the fractionation formula and fractionation factor, and establish the Sb isotope redox Rayleigh fractionation model according to the following formula, as shown in Figure 7: SXp; = 8X5 + AXm-ri x InF 5X = SXpiXF +8Xy x (1—F) AXm-r = 8X4 — 8Xh, =1000Inom-r As shown in Figure 8, according to the calculation of Rayleigh fractionation model, the ore collected from 4475m to 4575m is precipitatedin the middle period of the whole mineralization process (42.3% ~ 83.7%). The shallow Sb mineralization has confirmed the existence of the late period (83.7% ~ 100%), and the early period (0% ~ 42.3%)Sb mineralization shows great metallogenic potential in the depth below 4475 m.
Therefore, by adopting the method for judging the resource potential based on the metal stable isotope fractionation model, the invention can solve the problem that the existing isotope geochemistry research has certain indirection and speculation in metal deposit research and prospecting survey, and reduce the exploration risk.
Finally, it should be noted that: The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical scheme of the present invention, but not to limit it.
