Abstract:Urad Middle Banner (Wulatezhongqi) in Inner Mongolia is tectonically located in the northwestern margin of North China Craton, belonging to the LangshanBaiyan Obo epicontinental rifting. Regionally, maficultramafic intrusions are distributed discontinuously along central Inner Mongolia, forming a 400kmlong, 30kmwide magmatic belt. This belt hosts lots of CuNi (PGE) deposits/ occurrences, with the smallmedium sized Kebu CuNi deposit occurring in the Kebu massif. The Kebu massif, cropping out over an area of 45km2, consists of gabbro and olive facies. The gabbro facies is dominant litholgical facies for massif, whereas the olive facies hosts the main orebodies. The two facies occur together and present a transition relation. In this study, LAICPMS UPb dating of zircons yielded an age of 2581±18Ma (MSWD=23) for the Kebu plagioharzburgite, suggesting a Late Permain magmatic event. Geochemical analysis results show that the maficultramafic rocks from the Kebu massif belong to the tholetiitic series. These rocks are relatively enriched in large ion lithophile elements (eg. Rb, Sr, Ba,) and depleted in high field strength elements (eg. Nb, Ta, Zr, Hf, Ti), with rightinclined REE distribution pattern and (La/Yb)N value of 247~1129. According to the Fo and Ni values of olivine which contains the highest Fo, MgO and FeO contents of parent magma were estimated to 101% and 121% respectively, indicating that the parent magma of the Kebu intrusion is a highMgO tholetiitic basalt. The comprehensive analysis shows that the Kebu maficultramafic intrusion might form in the postcollisional tectonic setting, with magmatic source consisting of asthenospheric material and mantle wedge material, both of which were contaminated by previously subducted fluids. Crystallization fractionation of Fe and Mgrich minerals (such as olivine and pyroxene) and contamination of Sirich crust material might have played a key role in Ssaturation and subsequent sulfide segregation.
