Abstract:
      BACKGROUND: The Songlinkou pluton is located in the eastern margin of the Songpan-Ganzi orogenic belt, which is adjacent to the pegmatite-type lithium deposit of Jiajika.
OBJECTIVES: To explore the similarities and differences between Songlinkou pluton and Jiajika mineralized intrusive rocks, and to study geological conditions of mineralization and magma sources of the pluton.
METHODS: Major and trace elements were determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), respectively. Zircon U-Pb age and Hf isotopes were analyzed by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and multiple collector-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS), respectively.
RESULTS: The Songlinkou pluton contained diorite enclaves, and has SiO2 contents of 56.56%-68.99%, total alkali of 3.78%-6.82%, K2O/Na2O of 1.02-1.93, and Rittmann indices of 1.01-1.93. The rock has relative high Mg# values (Mg#=46.73-61.27). The rock belongs to the high-potassium calcium-alkaline type I granite series showed light rare earth enrichment with LREE/HREE ratios of 2.67-8.31, LaN/YbN of 2.11-9.74. All samples have strongly negative Eu anomaly. It was rich in LILE, and depleted in Ta, Nb, P and Ti. The zircon U-Pb results of the granodiorite and monzogranite were 212.6±1.0Ma (MSWD=0.55) and 222.4±1.1Ma (MSWD=0.39), respectively. The εHf(t) of zircon in monzogranite ranged from -9.09 to -6.86, and TCDM ranged from 1524.874Ma to 1666.002Ma.
CONCLUSIONS: The Songliankou pluton is produced by the partial melting of the middle Proterozoic Yangtze craton basement mixed with the enriched upper mantle. The Jiajika S-type granite is formed by partial melting of the upper crust, and is different from Songliankou pluton in terms of magma sources, evolution and mineralization tectonic conditions; this may be the main reason why the Songlinkou pluton does not have lithium rare metal mineralization.
