Li–Nb–Ta mineralization in the Jurassic Yifeng granite-aplite intrusion within the Neoproterozoic Jiuling batholith, south China: A fluid-rich and quenching ore-forming process

The Neoproterozoic Jiuling batholith in northwestern Jiangxi Province, south China, is one of the largest batholiths in the Nanling Range, and it is intruded by Mesozoic granitic intrusions associated with mineralization. The Jurassic Yifeng granitic pluton intrudes to the southern part of the Jiuling batholith and comprises Li-rich muscovite (Li-Mus) granite, trilithionite (Tri) granite, and aplite dikes. The granitic rocks are enriched in rare...
