Early Cretaceous high-Mg adakites associated with Cu-Au mineralization in the Cebu Island, Central Philippines: Implication for partial melting of the paleo-Pacific Plate

Early Cretaceous arc volcanic rocks, diorite intrusions and an associated large porphyry deposit occur in the Cebu Island, Central Philippines. In this paper, we studied the diorite porphyries associated with Cu-Au mineralization in the Kansi region, where Early Cretaceous arc volcanic rocks are widely distributed. Zircon U-Pb age reveals that the diorites were formed at ca. 110 Ma, close to the formation age of Lutopan diorites in the famous...
