Early Cretaceous A-type granites and Mo mineralization, Aershan area, eastern Inner Mongolia, Northeast China: geochemical and isotopic constraints

<div><p>The Jiazishan porphyry-type molybdenum deposit is located in the eastern Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China. Mineralization occurs mainly as veins, lenses, and layers within the host porphyry. To better understand the link between mineralization and host igneous rocks, we studied samples from underground workings and report new SHRIMP II zircon U–Pb and Re–Os molybdenite ages, and geochemical data from both the molybdenites and the porphyry granites. Seven molybdenite samples yield a Re–Os isochron weighted mean age of 135.4 ± 2.1 Ma, whereas the porphyry granite samples yield crystallization ages of 139 ± 1.5 Ma (Jiazishan deposit) and 133 ± 1 Ma (Taolaituo deposit). The U–Pb and Re–Os ages are similar, suggesting that the mineralization is genetically related to Early Cretaceous porphyry emplacement. Re contents of the molybdenite range from 21.74 ppm to 52.08 ppm, with an average of 35.92 ppm, whereas δ³⁴S values of the sulphide vary from 1.3‰ to 4.2‰. The ores have ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios of 18.178–18.385, 15.503–15.613, and 37.979–38.382, respectively. We also obtained a weighted mean U–Pb zircon age of 294.2 ± 2.1 Ma for the oldest granite in Jiazishan area. All granites are A-type granites. These observations indicate that the molybdenites and the porphyry granites were derived from a mixed source involving young accretionary materials and enriched subcontinental lithospheric mantle. A synthesis of geochronological and geological data reveals that porphyry emplacement and Mo mineralization in the Jiazishan deposit occurred contemporaneously with Early Cretaceous tectonothermal events associated with lithospheric thinning, which was caused by delamination and subsequent upwelling of the asthenosphere associated with intra-continental extension in Northeast China.</p></div

Nickel-Catalyzed C(sp³)–H Arylation of Diarylmethane Derivatives with Aryl Fluorides

A novel nickel-catalyzed C­(sp³)–H arylation with nonactivated aryl fluorides is reported. The use of 1,3-bis­(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)­imidazol-2-ylidene (IMes) as a ligand was found to be critical to the success of the reaction. This new method enables the synthesis of a wide range of triarylmethane derivatives

Early Cretaceous adakitic granites and mineralization of the Yili porphyry Mo deposit in the Great Xing’an Range: implications for the geodynamic evolution of northeastern China

<div><p>The Yili porphyry-type molybdenum deposit is located in the Northeastern Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China. Mineralization occurs mainly as veins, lenses, and layers within the host porphyry. In order to better understand the link between mineralization and host igneous rocks, we studied samples from underground workings. We report new Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe II (SHRIMP II) zircon U–Pb and Re–Os molybdenite ages and geochemical data from the Yili granitoids. Five molybdenite samples yield a Re–Os isochron weighted mean age of 131.1 ± 3.4 Ma, while two Early Cretaceous adakitic porphyry granite samples yielded crystallization ages of 128.1 ± 1.6 Ma and 129.0 ± 3.5 Ma. The U–Pb and Re–Os ages are analytically indistinguishable, suggesting that mineralization was genetically related to Early Cretaceous magmatism in northeastern China. δ³⁴S_V-CDT values of the sulphide vary from 0.3‰ to 3.8‰. We obtained two weighted mean U–Pb zircon ages of 287.7 ± 1.8 Ma for early Permian fine-grained granite and 349.8 ± 2.3 Ma for Early Carboniferous monzogranite in Yili area, respectively. A synthesis of geochronological and geological data reveals that porphyry emplacement and Mo mineralization in the Yili deposit occurred at the same time as Early Cretaceous lithospheric thinning, which was caused by the delamination and subsequent upwelling of the asthenosphere under the intra-continental extension in northeastern China.</p></div
