Abstract

Monzonitic granite porphyry and quartz-phyric porphyry are related to hydrothermal alteration and Fe-Cu-Pb-Zn mineralization at the Qiagong skarn deposit in the middle part of the Gangdese mineralization belt, Tibet, China. Both of the intrusions are peraluminous. The monzonitic granite porphyry has a high-K calcalkaline composition whereas the quartz-phyric porphyry is shoshonitic. Zircons from these two porphyries were dated using the LA-ICP-MS method and the U-Pb ages are 68.8 ±2.2 Ma and 64.6 ±1.6 Ma, respectively. The ages and metal associations for these two intrusions are unique in the Gangdese belt, and may lead to new understandings of the geodynamic setting.
