Genesis of the Bieyesamas Monzogranite of the Altay Mountain, Xinjiang, Northwestern China, and Its Rare Metal Resource Potential by Gengbiao Qiao, Xiaoyan Chen, Wenming Li

“…The mineral assemblage, geochemical characteristics, and zircon Hf isotope indicate the pluton experienced the highly fractionated process and belongs to highly fractionated S-type granite, which was formed by partial melting of the Meso- to Neoproterozoic crustal material. In the Bieyesamas monzogranite, the average contents of rare metals are obviously higher (Li=550×10−6, Be=10.18×10−6, Nb=18.91×10−6, Ta=2.14×10−6, Rb=500×10−6, and Cs=149.9×10−6) than the other rocks and Clark values of crust, which indicates that the Bieyesamas pluton has the enrichment potential of rare metals. …”
