Abstract:

Located in the inside and outside contact zone of granite porphyry, the Getingkeng molybdenum deposit is a mediumsized porphyry deposit in southern Jiangxi Province. ReOs isotopic dating of 7 molybdenite samples from the mineralized quartz veins of Getingkeng deposit has yielded a precise isochron age of (1594±16) Ma and a weighted average model age of (1588±13) Ma. The intercept of isochron is (0001±0055)ng/g, and the MSWD is 17. Getingkeng molybdenum deposit formed in the MidLate Middle Jurassic, the mineralization age corresponds to the second mineralization stage (170150 Ma) in the Late Jurassic of South China, consistent with the tungstentin mineralization around 160 Ma within the region. South molybdenum mineralization occurred in a row of 16590 Ma.

Key words: Getingkeng molybdenum deposit, molybdenite, Re-Os isotope, Southern Jiangxi Province
