REE deposit, consisting of tens of NW-trending bastnäsite-baryte-carbonate veins (K-Ar age of vein muscovite: 110 Ma), hosted by syenite, quartz syenite and aegirine-augite syenite (K-Ar age: 140 Ma).
Located on the eastern shore of Weishan Lake. The deposit has been mined since the 1970s.

Weishan has been mined for REEs since the 1980s. The REE concentrates produced here are characterized be being less radioactive than at many other deposits.
May be same as Weishan Mine.

The Weishan REE deposit is located at the southern LXB, which is mainly hosted by the Neoarchean gneisses and early Cretaceous alkaline complex. The alkaline complex is mainly composed of quartz syenite, aegirine pyroxene–bearing quartz syenite and alkali granite, with an outcrop area of approximately 0.5 km2. The REE mineralization is closely related to the alkaline complex, with the common alteration types of potassic feldsparization, silification and sericitization. Other alteration types such as carbonatization, sulfation and sulfidation also occur locally.

Mineralization age: Early/Lower Cretaceous : 140 Ma to 110 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
