Abstract:
The Xinxikou pluton is mainly consists of medium-to fine-grained granite, was emplaced at 121.31± 0.67 Ma. The granites have high SiO
2(75.97%~76.49%)and K
2O(4.84%~5.28%)contents with K
2O/Na
2O ratios from 1.61 to 2.05, and show weakly peraluminous nature with
A/CNK values from 1.05 to 1.06. The granites have high total REE contents ranging from 261.90 to 329.83 ppm. On the chondrite-normalized patterns, they all show markedly LREE-enriched patterns with(La/Yb)
N ranging from 3.26 to 5.15 and significant troughs of Eu anomalies(
δEu=0.018~0.063). Normalized to primitive mantle, the granites are enriched in large ion lithophile elements(e.g. Rb)and high field strength elements(e.g. Th and U)but depleted in Ba and Sr showing affinity to A
2 granites. Together with the regional geology, the granites formed in a extensional environment, related to asthenospheric mantle upwelling triggered by roll-back of the Paleo-Pacific oceanic slab. The Xinxikou pluton is widely exposed and have a shallow denudation. These granites are rich in metallic elements(W, Sn, Bi and etc)which diffused into surrounding rocks by high temperature gas-liquid alteration such as greisenization, indicating a good prospect of ore exploration.
