Mineralization and Fluid Inclusion Study of the Shizhuyuan W-Sn-Bi-Mo-F Skarn Deposit, Hunan Province, China

Mesozoic large magmatic events and mineralization in SE China: oblique subduction of the Pacific plate

“…(3) SE China hosts more than half of the world's W-Sn reserves, mostly concentrated in southern Hunan and Jiangxi, northern Guangdong, and Guangxi provinces (Chen et al 1992;Shen et al 1994;Mao and Li 1995;Yin et al 2002;Lu et al 2003;Li et al 2004bLi et al , 2007dMao et al 2004Mao et al , 2007Zhao et al 2005;Peng et al 2006;Gu et al 2007;Hua et al 2007;Yuan et al 2007;Zaw et al 2007). The W-Sn deposits are represented by Shizhuyuan W-Sn and Furong Sn polymetallic deposits in south Hunan, both of which are among the largest and economically important skarn-greisen-vein tungsten-polymetallic deposits in China (Mao and Li 1995;Yin et al 2002;Lu et al 2003). The Shizhuyuan W-Sn deposit occurs along the contact between a Late Devonian dolomitic limestone and a Jurassic to Cretaceous granitoid pluton .…”

“…The Shizhuyuan W-Sn deposit occurs along the contact between a Late Devonian dolomitic limestone and a Jurassic to Cretaceous granitoid pluton . This deposit contains Downloaded by [Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry] at 00:00 09 February 2012 750,000 t WO 3 , 490,000 t Sn, 300,000 t Bi, 130,000 t Mo, and 200,000 t Be with combined WO 3 grades ranging from 1 to 5% (Wang et al 1987;Zhang et al 1998;Lu et al 2003). In addition, the deposit is rich in fluorine with a reserve of 76 Mt at 2% fluorite, making it one of the largest fluorite deposits in China (Liu et al 1995;Lu et al 2003).…”

In addition, the deposit is rich in fluorine with a reserve of 76 Mt at 2% fluorite, making it one of the largest fluorite deposits in China (Liu et al 1995;Lu et al 2003). The Shizhuyuan deposit is thought to be related to the Qianlishan granite complex, which consists of medium-to coarse-grained biotite-granite (locally porphyritic), fine-grained biotite-granite, granite-porphyry, and quartz-porphyry.…”

Zircon U–Pb, molybdenite Re–Os and muscovite Ar–Ar isotopic dating of the Xitian W–Sn polymetallic deposit, eastern Hunan Province, South China and its geological significance

“…The Shizhuyuan deposit is the largest among the economically important skarn-, greisen-or vein-type WSn polymetallic deposits in South China (Mao and Li, 1995;Mao et al, , 1996aMao et al, , 1996bZaw et al, 2007;Yin et al, 2002). It mainly occurs at the contact between the Late Devonian dolomitic limestone and the Late Jurassic (Yanshanian) granitoid, with 750, 000 t WO 3 , 490, 000 t Sn, 300, 000 t Bi, 130, 000 t Mo and 200, 000 t Be (Lu et al, 2003). Mining activities have been carried out in the Nanling region for several tens of years, but there remains an untouched reserve of 1.7 million tons of tungsten and 1.2 million tons of tin (Che et al, 2005;Peng et al, 2006;Zaw et al, 2007;USGS, 2016).…”

Magmatic–hydrothermal evolution of highly fractionated granites: Evidence from the Kuiqi miarolite in Fujian province, SE China

“…Fluid evolution in shallow intrusions and its genetic link with the commonly associated mineralization were documented in previous fluid inclusion studies (Audétat, 2015;Cathelineau et al, 1988;Hurtig et al, 2014;Roedder, 1984;Weisbrod, 1981). Compositions of the fluid phases and their evolution in many mineralization systems were well investigated through fluid inclusion studies (Fan et al, 2002(Fan et al, , 2003Jiang et al, 2014;Lawrence et al, 2013;Li et al, 2012;Lu et al, 2003;Poros et al, 2012;Xie et al, 2009). Fluid inclusions entrapped in crystals are by far the most representative of the fluids existed during and after crystal growth.…”
