    Abstract:

    Habo porphyry Cu (MoAu) deposit, located in west of southern AilaoshanRed River Cenozoic metallogentic belt, is a newlydiscovered deposit. The Habo intrusion complex cropping out in this district is characterized with multiple intrusions. Granite based on this intrusion sequence can be divided into Pingshan granite, Sandaoban granite, Ashu granite and Habo South granite intrusion (c. 37.3 Ma), then followed by four porphyries intruding into the Habo South granite, i.e. biotieKfeldspar porphyry, quartzKfeldspar porphyry, quartzmonzonitic porphyry and later biotieKfeldspar porphyry dykes. LAICPMS UPb dating of zircons from biotieKfeldspar porphyry and quartzmonzonitic porphyry yields ages of c. 36.20±0.20 Ma and c. 36.19±0.22 Ma, respectively. The Habo South granite intrusion and four stages of porphyry are of the similar geochemical features (high K and alkaline, high oxidization and arc granite) as the porphyry belt in Eastern Tibet, indicating that both have a same origin. ReOs dating of molybdenum mineralization shows an age of c. 35.47±0.16Ma for the Habo deposit. The extremely similar intrusive age may suggest that diagenesis and mineralization in the Habo deposit was a continuous magmatic hydrothermal process, similar to the Yulong porphyry copper deposit. Basing on the lithological and geochemical characteristics of the Habo deposit, the authors in combination with previous research results in this area believe that the alkaline porphyry deposit in eastern Tibet is the extension of Yulong metallogenic belt and the product in a latecollisional transform regime in Eastern Tibet.
