Weakly fractionated I-type granitoids and their relationship to tungsten mineralization: A case study from the early Paleozoic Shangmushui deposit, Dayaoshan area, South China

Tungsten deposits related to weakly fractionated granitoids are scarce worldwide. The geological significance of early Paleozoic magmatism and associated mineralization in South China remains poorly understood compared with well-documented Mesozoic magmatism and related mineralization. Early Paleozoic magmatic rocks, previously thought to be only rarely associated with mineralization, crop out widely in the Dayaoshan area, South China, and have...
