Geochronology and geochemistry of the five magmatic rocks in the Ningzhen region, China

The Ningzhen region of China is located in the easternmost part of the middle-lower Yangtze River Cu–Fe polymetallic metallogenic belt. From west to east, it comprises five main intermediate–acidic intrusive complexes: the Qilinmen, Anjishan, Xiashu–Gaozi, Shima, and Jianbi complexes. Geochemical investigations show that these five intrusive complexes exhibit high contents of SiO2, at 64.74–73.40 wt%, Al2O3, at 14.15–17.37 wt%, and K2O + Na2O,...
