Petrogenesis of the Xihuashan granites in southeastern China: Constraints from geochemistry and in-situ analyses of zircon U Pb Hf O isotopes

The Xihuashan tungsten deposit, located in the Nanling tungstentin province, is renowned for being one of the largest and the earliest exploited deposits of tungsten worldwide. It is a vein‐type deposit genetically associated with the Xihuashan granite pluton. The granite was emplaced in four phases, and representative samples from each phase were analyzed using SIMS zircon UPb techniques, and the results indicate ages ranging from 161 ± 3 Ma to...
