“…The Qinling and Central Asian orogenic belts formed on both sides of the North China Plate. This caused the uplift and denudation of the plate edge, which provided the provenance (mainly siliciclastic rocks) for the bauxite deposition (Wang et al., 2016; Yu et al., 2020; Zhao et al., 2021). The South China Plate was also affected by this tectonic event, leading to regional uplift, such as the Qianzhong uplift in Central Guizhou Province (Deng et al., 2020; Du & Xu, 2012).…”

“…In addition to questioning the existence of an Early Jurassic Eastern Plateau, we also rule out sourcing in the Huangshi and Yueshan basins from the 1.8 Ga Dongling Complex in the Lower Yangtze region immediately east of the Yueshan Basin (Figure 1b) and the southern margin of NCC. This is because (i) the exhumation of the Dongling complex to shallow crustal levels occurred in the Early Cretaceous (Grimmer et al., 2003; Zhu et al., 2007, 2010), and thus postdates the time of sediment deposition and (ii) the Trans‐North China Orogen on the southern margin of the NCC was subjected to high‐temperature and locally high‐pressure granulite‐facies conditions at 1.85 Ga (Zhao & Cawood, 2012), which would result in rutile formation; this is clearly recorded in the Carboniferous bauxite deposits of the southern margin of the NCC (Zhao et al., 2021; Zhao & Liu, 2019). Thus, a large amount of 1.85 Ga metamorphic rutile is expected when considering an Upper Palaeozoic source from the southeastern margin of the NCC, but this is not observed (Figures 6 and 11).…”

The timing of the initiation of the present‐day tectonic architecture and drainage systems in eastern China remains debated. This study presents a comprehensive provenance study of the Early Jurassic peripheral basins surrounding the Dabie orogen including framework petrography, heavy‐mineral analysis, single‐grain chronology and chemistry. Clasts of high‐grade schist, muscovite grains, rare gneissic fragments, abundant metamorphic garnet and phengite (Si > 3.3 pfu), combined with a main 216–256 Ma rutile U–Pb population found in these Early Jurassic sandstones, indicate a source from the Triassic (U)HP belt in the Dabie orogen. Sedimentary lithics and ultra‐stable heavy‐mineral assemblages indicate an additional source of recycled sedimentary rocks. Combined with the continuous shift of the youngest detrital rutile age population toward younger ages toward the north that mimics the pattern of metamorphic bedrock ages in the Dabie orogen, we infer that the present surface tectonic architecture and paleodrainage patterns of the Dabie orogen were established in the Early Jurassic. Thus, the Early Jurassic exhumation of the Dabie orogen marked the development of the watershed between Northern and Southern China, namely the Huai River and several principal tributary systems of the middle‐lower Yangtze River.

“…The content variation in Ni in the horizontal and vertical directions is contrary to that of other elements, and the content of Ni in each sample is very different. Zr, Hf, Nb and Ta are positively correlated with TiO 2 , and the correlation is better than that of Al 2 O 3 , indicating that Zr, Hf, Nb and Ta have been kept in a relatively stable state during the mineralization of bauxite [24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Through reading and secondary analysis of the documents related to the comprehensive utilization of gallium, lithium and scandium bauxite in northern Guizhou, it is known that, since the first discovery of bauxite in the Xiaoshanba area in 1941, after more than 70 years of prospecting and exploration work, 17 deposits have been explored, 25 deposits have been explored in detail, 36 deposits have been prospected, and 2 extra-large deposits and 12 large deposits have been proven.…”

As a developing country, China is also a major producer and consumer of mineral resources. At present, China is still in a critical period of rapid development of industrialization and urbanization, which will inevitably lead to huge resource consumption. It is only 30 years between the peak carbon consumption and the timepoint planned to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality. Coming from a background of dual pressure in terms of the total amount and intensity of “carbon neutrality”, the development and utilization of mineral resources has become one of the important factors in affecting and realizing carbon neutrality in China, and comprehensive utilization has become increasingly important. There are abundant bauxite resources in northern Guizhou, more than 700 million tons, and an industrial resource chain could be built around bauxite. The ore-forming process of bauxite is very complex, and there are enrichment phenomena of other useful elements in the ore-bearing rock series, among which the enrichment of associated Ga, Li and rare earth elements is very obvious. It is of great economic and scientific significance to study the migration law of associated Ga, Li and rare earth elements and to find out whether these elements in bauxite have development value. On the basis of systematically collecting and sorting previous research results, this study carried out supplementary tests on some areas with insufficient data; summarized and studied the migration law of associated Ga, Li and rare earth elements in the Wuzhengdao bauxite deposit in northern Guizhou; and conducted a feasibility analysis on the development and utilization prospects of associated Ga, Li and rare earth elements.
