    Abstract:

    Jiama is a giant, high-grade porphyry copper system in the Gangdese metallogenic belt, Tibet. Multistage intermediate–felsic porphyries intruded in this deposit, some of which are strongly associated with copper-polymetallic mineralization. These ore-bearing porphyries include monzogranite, granodiorite, and quartz diorite porphyries. A new granite aplite dyke was found in the south of Jiama. Its age, genesis, and relationship with ore-related magmatism are obscure. Here, its emplacement age and petrogenesis were determined using mineralogy, zircon U-Pb dating, geochemistry, and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope studies. The zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb age of the aplite dyke is 16.66 ± 0.21 Ma (n = 14, MSWD = 0.66), earlier than that of the ore-bearing porphyries (~15 Ma) in Jiama. Furthermore, the aplite exhibits high amounts of silicon (SiO2 = 73.39%–74.74%), potassium (K2O = 5.12%–6.61%), aluminum (Al2O3 = 14.25%–14.69%), and light/heavy rare earth elements (LREE/HREE = 12.12–16.19) as well as negative europium (δEu = 0.47–0.72) and weak negative cerium anomalies (δCe = 0.84–0.93). The aplite dyke is characteristic of metaluminous–peraluminous I-type granite, which is rich in large-ion lithophile elements (Rb, Ba, Th and U) and depleted in high-field-strength elements (Nb, P and Ti). The aplite dyke and ore-bearing porphyries in the Jiama deposit are the results of a partial melting of the juvenile lower crust, according to whole-rock geochemistry and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope data, but the dyke and ore-bearing porphyries were emplaced from the same magma chamber at different times. Thus, the aplite dyke shows the composition of the early evolution stage of shallow magma in the Jiama deposit and is the product of rapid condensation and crystallization.
