Sulfide Rb-Sr and Zircon U-Pb Dating of the ~825 Ma Liujiaping Cu-Zn deposit in the Northwestern Yangtze Block (China) and its tectonic implications

The Neoproterozoic Liujiaping Cu-Zn deposit is a typical VMS (volcanic massive sulfide) deposit in the northwestern Yangtze Block, which is located at the convergent region of different blocks in China. The tectonic setting could provide some implications for the Neoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the Yangtze Block. Both the metallogenic chronology and isotope geochemistry of the Liujiaping deposit are tested. Sulfides and zircons from this...
