Abstract
The Tengshan'ao Sn deposit, located at the Dayishan ore field, Nanling Range, is one of the recently explored deposits in this region. In this study, LA-MC-ICP-MS cassiterite U–Pb and muscovite 40Ar-39Ar isotopic dating analyses for altered granite-type Sn ores yielded ages of 156.7 ± 4.3 Ma and 151.1 ± 1.5 Ma, respectively. These ages are consistent to the LA-MC-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb age of the fine-grained two-mica monzogranite (158.2 ± 1.6 Ma), indicating a coeval magmatism and mineralization for the Late Jurassic Tengshan'ao Sn deposit. It is further demonstrated that the formation of this deposit is related to the Early Yanshanian (160-150 Ma) large-scale diagenesis and mineralization in Nanling Range. It is suggested that the late-stage fine-grained two-mica (muscovite) granite has an indicative significance for searching the altered granite type Sn polymetallic mineralization.
