Late Cretaceous granitic magmatism and mineralization in the Yingwuling W–Sn deposit, South China: Constraints from zircon and cassiterite U–Pb geochronology and whole-rock geochemistry

Numerous Late Cretaceous W–Sn deposits associated with granitic rocks were developed in the southern part of South China. However, the relationship among granitic magma, mineralization and tectonic setting remains disputed. The Yingwuling W–Sn deposit is spatially associated with K-feldspar granite and biotite granite in the southwestern part of Guangdong province, South China. LA-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb dating of K-feldspar granite, biotite granite...
