Abstract:

Baizhangyan tungstenmolybdenum ore deposit is a newly developed deposit which was found on the base of a small exposure of mineralization occurrence. With highly precise dating of the ages of the rockforming and oreforming, the authors obtained a SHRIMP UPb zircon age of (130±15) Ma(n=14,MSWD=069)for finegrained granite and ReOs model ages of (133.5±1.9)(135.6±2.0) Ma and isochron age of (136.3±2.6) Ma(n=5,MSWD=0.64). According to the ages above, the authors concluded that the deposit was formed in the Early Cretaceous; that it was the result of intrusions of the granite which was of crustsource remelting type. The oreforming age is similar to the rockforming age of the granite rock body that was important to the deposit.
