    Abstract:

    Abstract:The Nannihu-Sandaozhuang molybdenum deposit is the largest porphyry-skarn type deposit in eastern Qinling region. This paper reports new LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb age data of granitoids (including granitic veins) and ICP-MS molybdenite Re-Os isotopic age data of the samples from the mining area. The obtained formation ages of granitoids are 145.2±1.5 ~ 146.7±1.2Ma, and the model ages of 5 molybdenite samples from stockwork in the Nannihu mining area and 5 molybdenite samples from disseminated skarn in the Sandaozhuang mining area are 143.4±2.0 ~ 146.5±2.3Ma with isochron age of 146.0±1.1Ma. These new geochronological data show explicitly that the granitoids and ores were formed simultaneously, suggesting their genetic relationship. Furthermore, these new data have confirmed the existence of magma-thermal event at about 158Ma revealed by previous dating work, and also for the first time revealed that the eastern Qinling area once underwent another magma-thermal event at about 175Ma. The published weighted average age data are of distinct deviation from the real intrusive age of the Nannihu magmatic body, which results from 1) nonhomogeneous origin of zircons in magmatic rock and 2) unrepresentative dating of zircon group.
