The enrichment of heavy rare earth elements (HREE) in the granitic host-rocks is crucial for
generating ion-adsorption HREE deposits in South China. The Shitou** pluton, located in …

Tin mineralization in the Dachang Sn-polymetallic district, South China, is inferred to be
associated with the Late Cretaceous Longxianggai pluton, which is primarily composed of …

The compositional record of accessory minerals can provide insights into the character and
petrogenesis of the parental magma. We demonstrate apatite's applicability to petrogenetic …

There are more than 80 porphyry (or skarn) Mo deposits in northeastern China with Jurassic
or Cretaceous ages. These are thought to have formed mainly in a continental arc setting …

Apatite is a common accessory mineral in igneous rocks, and its ability to readily
accommodate a wide range of trace elements means that it may provide a useful record of …

Porphyry deposits are the main source for global Cu and Mo production. The generation of
hydrous silicate magmas and subsequent separation of volatile-rich magmatic fluids with …

Apatite is a ubiquitous mineral in carbonatites, and incorporates a variety of trace elements
including rare earth elements (REEs). In this study, the textural and chemical variations of …

Apatite has the ability to fingerprint its geological environment of formation due to the fact
that it can incorporate a variety of trace elements. As such, there is a growing interest in …

As a robust accessory mineral in igneous rocks, the mineralogical and geochemical
characteristics of zircon can record the lithological differentiation and magmatic …

With the aim of constraining the influence of the surrounding plates on the Late Paleozoic–
Mesozoic paleogeographic and tectonic evolution of the southern North China Craton …
