The Shitouping pluton covers an area of about 200 km2. These granites intruded on the Late Neoproterozoic metamorphic sedimentary rocks, Ordovician weakly deformed biotite granodiorite, and the earliest Cretaceous (145~143 Ma) silica volcanic rocks. This pluton is mainly composed of medium- to coarse-grained biotite monzogranites and syenogranites with limited volume of fine-grained granite occurring as dykes or stocks. The biotite monzogranites mainly consist of plagioclase, K-feldspar, quartz, biotite and minor Fe-Ti oxide mainly enclosed by biotite. Plagioclase (oligoclase) has calcium-rich cores and fresh sodium-rich rims and tends to form clusters. The REE-bearing accessory minerals include zircon, apatite, and monazite as well as a small amount of bastnΓ€site and synchysite-(Ce) associated with sericite. On the contrary, the syenogranites have lower proportions of plagioclase (albite), biotite, Fe-Ti oxide, apatite, and monazite, but higher proportions of hydrothermal HREE- and Nb-bearing minerals closely associated with fluorite. They are co-genetic with monzogranites showing identical Nd-Hf isotope compositions, and should be more evolved units characterized by stronger Ba, Sr, P, Ti, and Eu negative anomalies. Both of the two granites are LREE-type granites and the syenogranites containing abundant hydrothermal HREE-fluorocarbonates and higher total HREE contents can be assumed to be the main bedrock of the large-scale Shitouping ion-adsorption HREE deposits.
