    Abstract:

    The LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating results show that theorebearing granodiorite from the Xiuwacu Mo-W-Cu deposit formed at 202±3.5 Ma during which the GanziLitang oceanic crust subducted westward; and monzonitic granite formed at 83.3 ± 1.7 Ma in a collisional orogenic environment in the Late Triassic. Insite Hf isotope analysis results show that the zircon in granodiorite has εHf(t) of from -2.87 to 4.12 (0.09 on average), TDM1 age of 541 ~ 828Ma, and TDM2 age of 719 ~ 1109Ma. It shows that the intrusion was sourced from the crust with addition of mantle material. The zircons in monzonitic granite have εHf(t) values of -7.96~ -2.75 (-5.54 on average), TDM1age of 820~1019Ma and TDM2age of 1102~1391Ma, indicating that monzonitic granite was the product of partial melting of ancient crust. Zircon UPb dating and insitu Hf isotope analysis of two orebearing intusions in Xiuwacu show that there were twoperiod tectonicmagmaticmineralization activities in the area in Late Triassic and Late Cretaceous respectively. The granodiorite magmatic intrusion and Cu polymetallic mineralization were related to oceanic subduction orogenesis in the Late Triassic, while the monzogranite magmatic intrusion and Mo polymetallic mineralization were mainly formed in the tectonic setting of continentalcontinental collisional orogeny in the Late Cretaceous. The study shows that the tectonicmagmaticmineralization occurred from the subduction of oceanic crust in Late Triassic to the postorogenic extension in Late Cretaceous, and the Late Triassic tectonicmagmatic activity was superimposed by the diagenesis and mineralization in Late Cretaceous. This provides a typical example for the study of compound superimposed diagenetic mineralization.
