Geochronology, Geochemistry, and Sr–Nd–Hf Isotopes of the Balazha Ore-Bearing Porphyries： Implications for Petrogenesis and Geodynamic Setting of Late Cretaceous Magmatic Rocks in the Northern Lhasa Block, Tibet

The study of Late Cretaceous magmatic rocks, developed as a result of magmatism and related porphyry mineralization in the northern Lhasa block, is of significance for understanding the associated tectonic setting and mineralization. This paper reports zircon chronology, zircon Hf isotope data, wholerock Sr–Nd isotope data, and geochemistry data of Balazha porphyry ores in the northern Lhasa block. Geochemical features show that Balazha ore-bearing porphyries in the northern Lhasa block belong to high-Mg# adakitic rocks with a formation age of ～90 Ma; this is consistent with the Late Cretaceous magmatic activity that occurred at around 90 Ma in the region. The age of adakitic rocks is similar to the molybdenite Re–Os model age of the ore-bearing porphyries in the northern Lhasa block, indicating that the diagenesis and mineralization of both occurred during the same magmatism event in the Late Cretaceous. The Hf and Sr–Nd isotope data indicate that these magmatic rocks are the product of crust–mantle mixing. Differing proportions of materials involved in such an event form different types of medium-acid rocks, including ore-bearing porphyries. Based on regional studies, it has been proposed that Late Cretaceous magmatism and porphyry mineralization in the northern Lhasa block occurred during collision between the Lhasa and Qiangtang blocks.

New Zircon U-Pb Age of the Ore-bearing Porphyry from the Kuga Copper Deposit in the Eastern Bangongco–Nujiang Matallogenic Belt, Tibet

Objective As the third most important copper polymetallic metallogenic belt in Tibet, the Bangongco-Nujiang metallogenic belt （BNMB） has attracted much attention among geoscientists all over the world （Lin Bin et al., 2017a）. There are two ore clusters in the westem of BNMB, the Duolong giant porphyry-epitherrnal Cu （Au, Ag） ore cluster and the Ga＇erqiong-Galalelarge porphyry- skarn Cu （Au） ore cluster （Lin Bin et al., 2017a; 2017b）. Now, the latest exploration advances show that the Kuga project is the first economic porphyry-skam copper deposit in the eastern of BNMB, with over 0.4 Mt melt copper （333＋334） @ 0.9%. However, the Kuga deposit is poorly studied about its diagenetic age. In this study, we present a zircon U-Pb LA-ICP-MS dating of ore-bearing biotite granite, in order to identify the time of the ore- related magmatism and reveal the relationship with the westem of BNMB.

Geology,Geochemistry and Zircon U-Pb Geochronology of Porphyries in the Dabate Mo-Cu Deposit,Western Tianshan,China:Petrogenesis and Tectonic Implications

The Dabate Mo-Cu deposit is a medium-sized porphyry-type deposit in the Sailimu Lake region, western Tianshan, China. We present the geology, geochemistry and zircon U-Pb geochronology of granite porphyries from the Dabate district with the intent to constrain their tectonic setting and petrogenesis. Porphyries in the Dabate district include granite porphyry I（gray white color with large phenocrysts）, granite porphyry II（pink color with small phenocrysts） and quartz porphyry. Granite porphyry II is the Cu and Mo ore-bearing granitoid in the Dabate deposit. LA-ICPMS zircon U-Pb analyses indicate that granite porphyry II was emplaced at 284.2±1.8 Ma. Granite porphyry I and II have similar geochemical features and are both highly fractionated granites：（1） They have high SiO2 content（70.93–80.18 wt% and 72.14–72.64 wt%, respectively）, total alkali（7.58–8.95 wt% and 9.35–9.68 wt%, respectively）, mafic index（0.95–0.98 and 0.93–0.94, respectively） and felsic index（0.79–0.94 and 0.89–0.91, respectively）;（2） They are characterized by pronounced negative Eu anomaly, ＂seagullstyle＂ chondrite-normalized REE patterns and ＂tetrad effect＂ of REE;（3） They are rich in Rb, K, Th, Ta, Zr, Hf, Y and REE, but depleted in Sr, P, Ti and Nb. The magma of granite porphyries in Dabate can be interpreted to have been generated by partial melting of the upper crust due to mantle-derived magma underplating in a post-collisional extensional setting.

Isotope Geochemical Characteristics and Material Sources of Tin--Bearing Porphyries in South China

Tin-bearing porphyries in South China can be divided into the F-rich and F-poorsubtypes. They are high-silica (SiO_2>71%), peraluminous (A/NKC>1.0) and rich inincompatible elements (Rb, Zr, U, W, Sn) and have weak Ce (δCe=0.68-0.82) and strong Eu(δEu=0.01-0.38) negative anomalies. Meantime, they also have low δ_(Nd)(-6.3- -8.4), high^(207)Pb/^(204)Pb (15.588-15.790), medium to high (^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr)_i (0.7084-0.7287) and relatively highδ^(18)O(9.1-10.3‰). These characteristics clearly suggest that the two subtypes of tin-bearingporphyries were derived from the crustal materials. Their differences lie only in the existence ofcertain different components in their source materials. Therefore, there is only one type oftin-bearing prophyry in South China. that is continental crust transformation type.

Indosinian Tectonic Setting of the Southern Yidun Arc: Constraints from SHRIMP Zircon Chronology and Geochemistry of Dioritic Porphyries and Granites

A mass of granitoid and dioritic intrusions are distributed in the southern Yidun Arc, among which the representative Indosinian intrusions include the Dongco and Maxionggou granitoid intrusions in Daocheng County and hypabyssal intrusions intruding into arc volcanic rocks near the Xiangcheng town. The Dongco and Maxionggou granitoid intrusions consist mainly of porphyraceous monzogranites, megacryst monzogranites and aplite granites. The Xiangcheng hypabyssal intrusions are composed dominantly of dioritic porphyries. SHRIMP zircon ages of 224±3 Ma and 222±3 Ma have been obtained for the Dongco granitoid intrusion and the Xiangcheng dioritic porphyries, respectively. The Xiongcheng dioritic porphyries show a calc-alkaline geochemical feature, and are characterized by higher Sr/Y ratios, depletive Nb, Ta, P and Ti, enriched LILEs, and lower εNd （t） （=-3.27）, suggesting that they might be derived from mantle source magmas that were obviously contaminated by continent crustal materials. However, the Dongco and Maxionggou granitoids belong to high-potassium calcalkaline series with a per-metaluminous feature, and are characterized by higher CaO/（∑FeO＋MgO） and Al2O3/（∑FeO＋ MgO） ratios, lower （La/Yb）n and Sr/Y ratios, depletive Nb, Ta, Sr, P and Ti, enriched LILEs, and very low εNd （t） （=-8.10）, indicating that the granitoids might be derived from partial melting of continental crust materials mainly of graywacke. Petrogenesis of Dongco and Maxionggou granitoids implies that there was an oceanic crust between the Zongza continental block （ZCB） and western margin of the Yangtze Craton （WMYZC）. And the oceanic crust slab subducted westward during the Indosinian Epoch, producing an Andes-type continent marginal arc and a backarc basin at the WMSCC. Then the oceanic basin closed and a sinistrally lateral collision occurred at ca. 224 Ma-222 Ma between the ZCB and the WMYZC, causing partial melting of sediments in the back-arc basin to generate granitoid magmas of the Dongco and Maxionggou intrusions.

As we know there is a famous East Qinling-Dabie molybdenum belt in china,where many molybdenum deposits located such as super giant Jinduicheng,Sandaozhuang,Shangfanggou and Nannihu molybdenum deposits(Li,2008) ;The molybdenum mineralization in the East Qinling-Dabie belt clusters into three groups or mineralization pulses:233-221,148-138 and 131-112 Ma(Mao et al,2008).

Ore-bearing Formations and Mineral Resource Prospects of the Peripheral Areas of the Tarim Block

The tectonic development of the Tarim block has experienced four stages, i. e. Earth's core accretion and block formation in the Precambrian, margin splitting, opening-closing and piecing up in the Early Palaeozoic, rift formation and plate unification in the Late Palaeozoic, and basin-mountain coupling and landform shaping in the Meso-Cenozoic, forming six ore-bearing formations and ore deposits of various genetic types in the Tianshan Mountains, Kunlun Mountains and Altun Mountains. In the peripheral areas of Tarim there are four giant intercontinental metallogenic belts passing through, the Central Tianshan and southwestern Tianshan belts in the former USSR and the Qinling-Qilian-Kunlun and Palaeo-Tethys belts in China. According to the macro-analysis on the nearly one thousand known deposits (occurrences) and geophysical-geochemical anomalies, and the information from reconnaissance in some areas, the region has very good prospects for mineral resources. Some of the metallogenic belts may well become the reserve bases for exploration of mineral resources in China.

Ore-Bearing Formations of the Precambrian in South China and Their Prospects

In the Precambrian System of the Yangtze and Cathaysian plates six ore-bearing formations can be identified: the Cu-Pb-Zn-bearing formations in volcanic rocks of marine facies of the Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic, Cu-Au-bearing formations and Pb-Zn-bearing formations in volcanic rocks of marine facies of the Mesoproterozoic, Pb-Zn-bearing formations in volcaniclastic rock and carbonate rock of the Neoproterozoic, Fe-Mn-bearing formations in the volcaniclastic rock of the Neoproterozoic, and Ni-Cr-serpentine-bearing formations in ophiolite and ultrabasic rock of the Meso- and Neoproterozoic. They were mostly formed in the marginal rift valleys of the Yangtze and Cathaysian plates, where occur stratabound and stratiform ore deposits, thermal deposits and porphyry polymetallic deposits. The six regions with ore-bearing formations have good prospects for ore deposits.

Geochronology and geochemistry of the ore-bearing intrusion in the Longgen Lead-Zinc deposit in Tibet and its geological significance

Late Jurassic adakitic ore-bearing granodiorite porphyry intrusions in the Xiaokele porphyry Cu(–Mo)deposit,Northeast China:implications for petrogenesis and tectonic setting

The Xiaokele Cu(–Mo)deposit is a recently discovered porphyry deposit in the northern Great Xing’an Range(GXR)of northeast China.The ore bodies in this deposit are mainly hosted within granodiorite porphyry intrusions.Potassic,phyllic,and propylitic alteration zones develop from center to edge.In this paper,we present zircon LA–ICP–MS U–Pb ages,zircon Hf isotopic compositions,and whole-rock geochemistry of the ore-bearing granodiorite porphyries from the Xiaokele Cu(–Mo)deposit.Zircon U–Pb dating suggests that the Xiaokele granodiorite porphyries were emplaced at 148.8±1.1 Ma(weighted-mean age;n=14).The Xiaokele granodiorite porphyries display high SiO2,Al2O3,Sr,and Sr/Y,low K2O/Na2O,MgO,Yb,and Y,belonging to high-SiO2 adakites produced by partial melting of the subducted oceanic slab.Marine sediments were involved in the magma source of the Xiaokele granodiorite porphyries,as indicated by enriched Sr–Nd isotopic compositions(eNd(-t)=-1.17–-0.27),low positive zircon eHf(t)values(0.4–2.2),and high Th contents(4.06–5.20).The adakitic magma subsequently interacted with the mantle peridotites during ascent through the mantle wedge.The Xiaokele granodiorite porphyries were derived from slab melting during the southward subduction of the Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean.

THE GENETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CUPREOUS PORPHYRIES IN SHANYANG DISTRICT, SHANXI PROVINCE

The cupreous porphyries occurring in Shanyang District, Shanxi Province, were geotectonically developed in Qinling orogenic belt during Yenshan epoch. Their K/Na= 0. 84～ 2. 74, δ=2. 48～3. 70, DI =70. 19 ～80. 69,δEu≈1,δ34S is approximately consistent with

Petrogenesis of Quebrada de la Mina and Altar North porphyries (Cordillera of San Juan, Argentina): Crustal assimilation and metallogenic implications

We investigate the geology of Altar North(Cu-Au) and Quebrada de la Mina(Au) porphyry deposits located in San Juan Province(Argentina), close to the large Altar porphyry copper deposit(995 Mt,0.35% Cu, 0.083 g/t Au), to present constraints on the magmatic processes that occurred in the parental magma chambers of these magmatic-hydrothermal systems. Altar North deposit comprises a plagioclase-amphibole-phyric dacite intrusion(Altar North barren porphyry) and a plagioclaseamphibole-biotite-phyric dacite stock(Altar North mineralized porphyry, 11.98 ± 0.19 Ma). In Quebrada de la Mina, a plagioclase-amphibole-biotite-quartz-phyric dacite stock(QDM porphyry,11.91±0.33 Ma) crops out. High Sr/Y ratios(92-142) and amphibole compositions of Altar North barren and QDM porphyries reflect high magmatic oxidation states(fO_2= NNO+1.1 to+1.6) and high fH_2O conditions in their magmas. Zones and rims enriched in anorthite(An_(37-48))), SrO(0.22-0.33 wt.%)and FeO(0.21-0.37 wt.%) in plagioclase phenocrysts are evidences of magmatic recharge processes in the magma chambers. Altar North and Quebrada de la Mina intrusions have relatively homogeneous isotopic compositions(^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr_(t)= 0.70450-0.70466, ε_(ND)(t) = +0.2 to +1.2) consistent with mixed mantle and crust contributions in their magmas. Higher Pb isotopes ratios(^(207)Pb/^(204)Pb=15.6276-15.6294) of these intrusions compared to other porphyries of the district, reflect an increase in the assimilation of high radiogenic Pb components in the magmas. Ages of zircon xenocrysts(297,210,204,69 Ma) revealed that the magmas have experienced assimilation of Miocene, Cretaceous, Triassic and Carboniferous crustal rocks.Fluids that precipitated sulfides in the Altar deposit may have remobilized Pb from the host rocks, as indicated by the ore minerals being more radiogenic(207Pb/204 Pb = 15.6243-15.6269) than their host intrusions. Au/Cu ratio in Altar porphyries(average Au/Cu ratio of 0.14 ×10^(-4)by weight in Altar Central)is higher than in the giant Miocene porphyry deposits located to the south: Los Pelambres, Rio Blanco and Los Bronces(Chile) and Pachon(Argentina). We suggest that the increase in Au content in the porphyries of this region could be linked to the assimilation of high radiogenic Pb components in the magmas within these long-lived maturation systems.

Petrogenesis of Paleoproterozoic diorite porphyries inLuojiazhuang, western Shandong： constraints fromLA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb geochronology and geochemistry

Based on the study of LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb geochronology and whole-rock geochemistry for theLuojiazhuang diorite porphyries in Menying , western Shandong , the analyzed zircons exhibit oscillatory zoning in the cathodoluminescence images and have high Th/U ratios （0. 15-1.53） , indicating a magmatic origin.In addition, most of the zircons have narrow metamorphic edges, suggesting that late metamorphic eventsmay exist. The youngest group of magmatic zircon 207Pb/206Pb ages rangng from 2 384 Ma to 2 234 Ma, yieldinga weighted mean age of 2 353 ± 14 Ma, which represents the forming age of the diorite porphyries, as theEarly Paleoproterozoic. Geochemically , the samples are characterized by low Si〇2（54. 54% and 55. 47% ）,high MgO （5.22% and 5.49% ） and Mg# values （58 and 59） . Moreover , they show enrichment of light rareearth elements and large ion lithophile elements （ Rb , Ba and K） , depletion of heavy rare earth elements andhigh field strength elements （Nb, Ta , Zr and Hf） , positive anomaly of Pb , and negative anomaly of Ti. Thefact implies that the Luojiazhuang diorite porphyries might derive from partial melting of mantle and mixed with an amount of continental crust material. In summary , they may tectonic setting that stretching along the east-＂west direction at the North China Craton in the Early Paleoproterozoic.

Geochronology and geochemistry of Dongxigao diorite porphyries: implications for Late Neoarchean tectonic evolution of eastern North China Craton

Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb age and whole-rock geochemistry data are presented for the Dongxigao diorite porphyries in Pingyi,western Shandong,to restrict its petrogenesis. The zircons from the Dongxigao diorite porphyries exhibit striped absorption and oscillatory growth zoning in the cathodoluminescence images,which have upward-type characteristics of rare earth elements( REEs) with positive anomaly of Ce and negative anomaly of Eu,and have high Th / U ratios( 0. 06--0. 91),indicating its magma origin. Zircon LA-ICP-MS UPb dating indicates that^(207) Pb /^(206) Pb ages of 16 spots of zircons are between 2476 Ma and 2701 Ma,yielding a weighted mean age of 2 481 ± 8 Ma,which represents the formation age of Dongxigao diorite porphyries,i. e.Late Neoarchaean. Geochemically,the samples have low contents of SiO_2( 54. 94% and 54. 86%) and high amounts of MgO( 7. 19% and 7. 58%) and Mg~#values( 66. 47 and 67. 59). Additionally,the Dongxigao diorite porphyries show enrichment of LREEs and prominent negative Eu anomaly( δEu = 0. 89 and 0. 91),and they are characterized by enrichment of large ion lithophile elements( LILEs)( e. g. Cs,Rb and Ba),depletion of high field strength elements( HFSEs)( e. g. Nb,Ta,Zr,Hf and Ti),and positive anomaly of K and Pb. The results imply that the Dongxigao diorite porphyries dominantly derived from partial melting of enriched lithospheric mantle with attributes of arc magma,and the magma source area was mixed with amounts of continental crust material,it suggests that they formed in transformation tectonic setting changing from compression to intraplate extension.

Petrogenesis and tectonic implications of the Early Cretaceous Dagushan adakitic porphyries in the Anshan area,North China Craton

The eastern part of the North China Craton suffered significant lithospheric thinning since the Mesozoic,and petrogenesis of the Dagushan adakitic diorite porphyries provides an excellent opportunity to investigate the lithospheric thinning mechanism and geodynamic setting.The zircon LA-ICP-MS U–Pb geochronology reveals that the representative Dagushan adakitic porphyry was formed at 120.5±0.5 Ma.The Dagushan diorite porphyries are characterized by the relatively high contents of SiO_(2)(64.25–65.70 wt%),Al_(2) O_(3)(15.00–15.38 wt%),Sr(333–491 ppm),low contents of Y(6.50–10.3 ppm),and Yb(0.57–0.85 ppm),and resultant high Sr/Y(47–57)and La/Yb(37–55)ratios,exhibiting geochemical characteristics of typical adakites.Moreover,the relatively high Mg O contents(MgO=2.23–2.29 wt%)and Mg numbers(Mg^(#)-=54–56)of the Dagushan adakitic rocks imply that the pristine adakitic magma interacted with mantle peridotite.However,the zircon Hf isotopic signatures(εHf(t)=-19.0 to-28.0;TDM2=2378–2944 Ma)suggest an ancient lower crustal source.Therefore,it is proposed that the Dagushan adakitic rock was probably generated by partial melting of delaminated lower crust which was triggered by the Tan-Lu Fault Zone,and the interaction of pristine adakitic magma with mantle peridotite during the ascent finally generated the Dagushan high Mg^(#)adakitic rocks.It is suggested that delamination was an important mechanism for lithospheric thinning of the NCC.

GEOTECTONIC BACKGROUND OF PYROPHYLLITE MINERALIZATION AND ORE-BEARING VOLCANIC FORMATION IN SOUTHEASTERN COASTAL AREAS,CHINA

The volcanic gas-liguid type of pyrophyllite deposits in the SoutheasternCoastal areas, China are the product of tectono-magama-volcanism in Diwa regions. The pyro-phyllite ore-bearing volcanic formation were formed in the maximum-mobility period of Diwa, which are mainly the Late Jurassic strata and are secondly the Early Cretaceous volcanic-sedi-mentary rock series strata. The lithology of the host rock is mainly rhyolitic crystal-vitric tuff, and the chemical composition is characterized by high silicon rich alumium and low iron, be-longing to the acid-intermediate-acid rock and the kalicalc-calc-alkalic series and the rhyo-lite-rhyodacite assemblage. They play an important role in the pyrophyllite mineralization.

Geochemical Characteristics and Genesis of Topaz-Bearing Porphyries in Yangbin Area of Taishun County, Zhejiang Province

The host rocks of the porphyry tin deposits in the Yangbin area are prince-pally topaz-bearing porphyry dikes about 2 km long and 2-20m wide.Three lithologic types are identified for the dikes:topaz-bearing potassium feldspar granitic porphyry,topaz-bearing monzonitic granitic porphyry and topaz-bearing quartz porphyry.The con-tent of topaz in the rocks ranges from 10 to 20 vol.%.Porphyritic texture is characteristic,with quartz,potassium feldspar and albite as main phenocryst minerals.The phenocryst occupies 10-20vol% of the rocks.The rock groundmass consists of subhedrak topaz,quartz and protolithionite.Topaz has a unit-cell parameter b=8.797(A)^°,and F:OH=1.92:0.18, indicating a F-rich variety formed at high temperature .The topaz-bearing porphyries occurring in this area are strongly peraluminous (A/NKC=1.574-12.94)，with high ra-tios of F/C1(146-303) and Rb/Sr(5-122).They are rich in incompatible elements (Sn,313×10^-6-1042×10^-6;W,6×10^-6-218×10^-6;Nb,27×10^-6-54×10^-6),but poor in compatible elements (Sr,10×10^-6-28×10^-6;Ba,58×10^-6-73×10^-6;V,3×10^-6-10×10^-6,Cl,150×10^-6-226×10^-6).The rocks are also characterized by high total REE amount (281.69×10^-6-319.76×10^-6);with strong Eu depletion (&Eu=0.01-0.03)and low ratio of LREE/HREE(0.78-0.84).In summary ,the authors propose propose an idea of S-type genesis for the topaz-bearing porphyries with tin mineralization,instead of I-type.
