Abstract

The South China Block is an important polymetallic metallogenic area mainly related to the W,Sn,Cu and other metals,most of that mineralization is closely related to the Mesozoic magmatism.Based on the analysis of zircon U-Pb dating and trace element of apatite and zircon of the muscovite granite related to mineralization in the Hukeng tungsten deposit,the age,magmatic properties and evolution characteristics of the metallogenic rock was constraint in this study.The results show that the muscovite granite was formed at (152.3±1.73)Ma,which is consistent with the peak period of polymetallic mineralization in South China(170~150 Ma).In addition,trace element of apatite shows that it has a M-shaped REE chondrite normalized pattern,with features of enrich in F[w(F) is 3.52%~4.09%)]and Mn(5 081×10-6~13 948×10-6),and depleted in Cl[w(Cl)<0.012%] and Mg(5.91×10-6~24.08×10-6),which are consistent with that in the high fractionated S-type granite.Besides,trace element of zircon shows that it has high Th/U ratio,LREE-depleted and HREE-enriched REE chondrite normalized pattern.Furthermore,the oxidized state and temperature of the rock were constraint by Ce,U and Ti content in zircon,which shows that zircon was crystallized at the conditions of high temperature(800 ℃) and low oxygen fugacity in the early period of magma.Combined with previous studies,it is concluded that the Hukeng granite experienced strong early fractional crystallization and the formation of the Hukeng deposit may be related to the evolution of reductive highly fractionated magmas.
