LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb analyses suggest that syenogranite has a weighted mean 2±6pb/23SU age of 86±1 Ma （mean square weighted deviation=0.37）, which is in accordance with the muscovite Ar-Ar age （85±1 Ma） of Cu-Au ore-bearing skarns and the zircon U-Pb age （84±1 Ma） of adamellite. This suggests that the Jiangla＇angzong magmatism and Cu-Au mineralization events took place during the Late Cretaceous. The granite contains hornblende, biotite, and pyroxene, and does not contain Al-bearing minerals, such as muscovite, cordierite, and garnet. It has high contents of SiO2 （65.10 -70.91wt%）, K20 （3.44-5.17wt%）, and total K20＋Na20 （7.13-8.15wt%）, and moderate contents of A12Oa （14.14-16.45wt%） and CaO （2.33-4.11wt%）, with a Reitman index （δ43） of 2.18 to 2.33, and A/ CNK values of 0.88 to 1.02. The P205 contents show a negative correlation with SiO2, whereas Pb contents show a positive correlation with SiO2. Th and Y contents are relatively low and show a negative correlation with the Rb contents. These characteristics suggest that the Jiangla＇angzong granite is a high K calc-alkaline metaluminous I-type granite. It is enriched in light rare earth elements （LREE） and large ion lithofile elements （LILE）, and depleted in heavy rare earth elements （HREE） and high field strength elements （HFSE）, with LREE/HREE ratios of 11.7 to 18.1. The granite has negative Eu anomalies of 0.58 to 0.94 without obvious Ce anomalies （δCe=l.00-1.04）. The relatively low initial a7Sr/a6Sr ratios of 0.7106 to 0.7179, positive ε±nt（t） values of 1.0 to 4.1, and two-stage Hf model ages （TDM2） ranging from 889 Ma to 1082 Ma, These geochemical features indicate that the granite derived from a juvenile crust. The （143Nd/144Nd）t values from the Jiangla＇angzong granite range from 0.5121 to 0.5123, its eNd（t） values range from -10.17 to -6.10, its （^206pb /^204pb）t values range from 18.683 to 18.746, its （^207pb /^204pb）t values range from 15.695 to 15.700, and its （^208pb /^204pb）t values range from 39.012 to 39.071. These data indicate that the granite was formed by melting of the upper crust with the addition of some mantle materials. We propose that the Jiangla＇angzong granite was formed during the post- collision extension of the Qiangtang and Lhasa terranes.展开更多

Two orogenic gold mineralisation belts have been recognized in this collision belt, which are as follows： the Indus-Yarlung Zangbo suture zone orogenic gold belt （IYOG）, represented by the Mayoumu and Bangbu gold deposits, and the Ailaoshan orogenic gold belt （AOG）, whose typical cases include the Zhenyuan and Chang＇an gold deposits. The IYOG formed during 54-45 Ma corresponds to the compressional deformation during the early stages of the collision of the plates of India and Eurasia, whereas the AOG formed in 38-29 Ma corresponds to that during the later stage of the collision. Recently, several medium- to large-sized gold deposits （e.g., the Dacha and Shangxu deposits） have been discovered along the Bangong Co-Nujiang suture belt, which indicates that another orogenic gold mineralisation belt existed within the Tibetan Plateau. However, the lack of a mineral suitable for dating or for altering the minerals that were affected by various tectonic thermal events causes difficulty to perform accurate dating. This study is based on the Shangxu gold deposit and analyses the genesis of zircon in gold-bearing quartz veins as well as the accurate gold-forming age by hydrothermal zircon micro probe analysis using the U-Pb （LA-ICP-MS） method.展开更多
