Summary: The Sidingheishan porphyry Cu-Mo deposit is located in the northeastern margin of the Kanggur-Huangshan Shear Zone of the Eastern Tianshan Terrane in Xinjiang Province, northwestern China. The ore-bearing rocks in the area have been dated to around 427 million years ago, with granodiorite and gabbro formations showing distinct geochemical characteristics. The granodiorite and monzogranite are enriched in light rare earth elements and large ion lithophile elements, depleted in heavy rare earth elements and high field strength elements, and have slight positive europium anomalies.

Summary: The Lakang'e porphyry Mo (Cu) deposit is located in the eastern part of the southern Gangdese metallogenic belt, with mainly potassic and phyllic alteration styles. The ore-bearing GDP and postmineralization QDP show differences in geochemical compositions and formation ages, indicating a more continental crust source for the GDP. Oxygen fugacity, fluorine and sulfur richness, and a molybdenum-rich crustal source were crucial factors for the formation of the deposit.

Summary: The Hongling Mo deposit in the eastern Tianshan is part of the molybdenum metallogenic belt in the southern margin of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). The granitic rocks associated with the Mo-mineralization have similar characteristics to fertile granitoids in other molybdenum deposits, indicating a possible formation in an intraplate extensional setting through the partial melting of juvenile lower crustal materials.

Summary: The Heishishan skarn Cu-Pb-Zn deposit is located in the East Kunlun Orogenic Belt and is associated with the Heishishan monzogranite and marble of the Jinshuikou Group. Geochemical analysis indicates that the monzogranite represents a crust-mantle magma mixing origin, while the granodiorite originated from partial melting of the lower crust. The ore-forming rock is determined based on the spatial contact relationship, geochemistry, and magma fertility. The metallogenic epoch of 241.7 Ma is under the subduction tectonic setting of the PaleoTethys Ocean.

Summary: The Quanzigou Mo deposit in the western part of the North China Craton was formed around 170.8 million years ago, coinciding with the formation of porphyritic biotite granite. The mineralization involved high oxygen fugacity magmas, likely derived from a mixture of ancient lower continent crust material and high oxygen fugacity lithospheric mantle material.

Summary: The Ermi porphyry Cu deposit is a medium-sized copper deposit located on the northeastern margin of the North China Craton. The copper mineralization mainly occurs within intrusions of various rock types and is thought to have formed in an active continental margin environment related to plate rollback during the Cretaceous period.

Summary: The Bailingshan deposit in the Eastern Tianshan region of Xinjiang, northwest China is an economically important Fe deposit located in the southern margin of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. The Late Carboniferous dacitic tuff at Bailingshan is consistent with calc-alkaline arc magmatism and suggests a fractional crystallization dominated origin from melting of a juvenile lower crust mixed with depleted mantle materials. Changes in subduction angles led to the rupture of magma chambers and the release of iron-rich fluids, causing the iron mineralization and relevant alterations in the deposit.

Summary: This study investigates the age, genesis, and tectonic setting of the Sayashk tin deposit in the Eastern Junggar region of Xinjiang Province. The results show that the deposit is closely related to granite porphyry and medium-fine-grained granite and formed in a post-collision extensional tectonic setting after the late Carboniferous.

Summary: The Qiyugou Au deposit in central China consists of breccia pipe hosted Au ore bodies and a newly discovered porphyry ore body with close spatial relationship and mixed source components. The integrated study reveals that the mineralization likely resulted from multiple pulses of fluid exsolution from a large, deep-seated magma chamber.

Summary: The origin of the Dexing porphyry Cu deposit has been determined to be partial melting of the subducting Paleo-Pacific plate based on the analysis of zircon and apatite in the deposit. The zircon and apatite in the porphyry show distinct characteristics different from the wall rocks.

Summary: The Lubei Ni-Cu-Co deposit is located in the eastern Tianshan region of the CAOB, with an estimated reserve of approximately 9.11 million tons containing nickel, copper, and cobalt, formed in the early Carboniferous tuffaceous clastic rocks. Research indicates that the primary magma of the ore deposit was derived from the partial melting of metasomatized lithospheric mantle previously modified by subduction events.

Summary: The recently discovered Banjing tungsten deposit is located in the northernmost part of the Dabu pluton in southern Jiangxi Province, China. This study reveals that the tungsten deposit was formed during the early Yanshanian period in an extensional intracontinental environment caused by the subduction of the Palaeo-Pacific Plate. The deposit originated from partial melting of the Middle Proterozoic metamorphic supracrustal rocks in South China, with a minor contribution from juvenile crust.

Summary: In-situ analysis of minerals is crucial for investigating geological evolution and ore formation processes. Apatite, with its advantages over zircon, can provide valuable information complementing the data from zircon analysis. Using isotopic analysis of both zircon and apatite, we have studied the petrogenesis of Cu-porphyries and related ore formation processes in southern Tibet.

Summary: In this study, detailed geochronological and geochemical analyses were performed on different types of igneous rocks in the Qingdao area, Jiaodong Peninsula to understand their petrogenesis and tectonic setting. The results suggest that quartz monzonite may have formed through the partial melting of phengite-bearing eclogites, while monzogranite and syenogranite were most likely produced through partial melting of granitic gneisses. The alkali feldspar granite is consistent with A-type granite and may have formed through fractional crystallization from a non-adakitic granitic magma. These granitoids were formed in a lithospheric extensional setting via the rollback of the subducted Paleo-Pacific slab.

Summary: The study presents new data on Early Permian mafic intrusions and related sulfide Cu-Ni deposits in the Dananhu arc of the eastern Tianshan in NW China, suggesting that these deposits were derived from mafic intrusions and underwent processes of crustal contamination and fractionation during their formation.
