Les granitoïdes associés aux skarn à Cu-Pb-Zn et au W, dérivent, respectivement, de la fusion partiellede roches mafiques à amphiboles dans la croute inférieure et de roches métas-édimentaires riches enmuscovite dans la croute moyenne-supérieure. Ces sources fertiles mobilisées pour la formation de cesplutons a permis la formation de gisements à Cu-Pb-Zn, et W au cours du Jurassique moyen. L’originedans la croûte moyenne de la granodiorite de Tongshanling, associée aux minéralisations à Cu-Pb-Zn, aété montrée par l’étude des enclaves microgranulaires dioritiques qui sont des restites remaniées issuesde la fusion partielle des amphibolites de la croûte inférieure. Le Cu et le Zn associées à ces plutons sontprobablement issus de la croûte inférieure et ces métaux ont probablement étés remobilisés au cours dela fusion partielle. Le Pb issue de la croute supérieur a été collecté lors de l’ascension du magma qui adonné la granodiorite. Lors de leur mise en place ces granitoïdes ont exprimé leur potentielminéralisateur. L’étude structural montre que la géométrie des corps minéralisés et en lien avec ladéformation induite par la mise en place des plutons. Les différentes expressions de la minéralisationdans le district à Cu-Mo-Pb-Zn-Ag de Tongshanling sont génétiquement lié à l’hydrothermalisme et à sonévolution lors du développement du skarn. Le granite de Weijia a cristallisé à partir d’un magma saturéen eau et riche en Fluor. Les facteurs qui ont contrôlé la formation de ce skarn magnésien riche en W,suppose l’existence d’une source enrichie en W dans les sources métasédimentaires et d’un magmariche en Fluor très différentia par cristallisation fractionnée. / The Middle-Late Jurassic Cu-Pb-Zn-bearing and W-bearing granitoids in the Nanling Range were mainlyderived from non-simultaneous partial melting of the mafic amphibolitic rocks in the lower crust and themuscovite-rich metasedimentary rocks in the upper-middle crust, respectively. The fertile sources in theNanling Range are beneficial to the formation of Cu-Pb-Zn and W deposits during Middle-Late Jurassic.The lower-crust origin of the Cu-Pb-Zn-bearing granodiorites is further demonstrated by the dioriticmicrogranular enclaves in the Tongshanling granodiorite which are reworked restite enclaves derivedfrom partial melting of the mafic amphibolitic source. The Cu and Zn associated with these intrusionswere most probably released from the mafic amphibolitic lower crust by partial melting, whereas, Pb wasextracted from the upper crust by ascending granodioritic magmas. The emplacement of these orebearinggranitoid magmas may have a structural connection with the subsequent polymetallicmineralization in some way. For instance, the exoskarn and sulfide-quartz veins in the Tongshanling Cu-Pb-Zn deposit are evidently controlled by magma emplacement-induced wall-rock deformation. Thedifferent mineralization types and ore deposits in the Tongshanling Cu-Mo-Pb-Zn-Ag ore district aregenetically linked together in the same skarn system as the productions of evolution and zonation. TheWeijia granite was crystallized from a F-rich and water-saturated magma. The key factors controlling theoccurrence of unusual magnesian skarn W mineralization during Late Jurassic in the Nanling Rangemainly include a W enriched metasedimentary source, a fluorine-rich magma, a strong crystalfractionation, and a fluorine-rich hydrosaline melt

The structural lineament mapping of southern India along withgeological, geochronological datasets help in redefining the Precambrian crustal blocks.The newly proposed Kumta and Mercara suture zones welding Archean crustal blocks in western peninsular India offer critical insights into the crustal evolution of Gondwana. The Kumta suturemainly consists of schistose rocks including quartz-phengite, garnet-biotite, chlorite, fuchsite and marble, whereas the Mercara suture contains mylonitic quartzo-feldspathic gneiss, garnet-kyanite-sillimanite gneiss, calc-silicate granulite and metagabbro. Metamorphic pressure-temperature estimations (Kumta suture: 11-18 kbar at 790-550oC; Mercara suture: 13 kbar at 825oC) suggest that, the sediments have undergone subduction to greater depths. The K-Ar age of biotite, phengite and U-Pb dating of zircon yields consistent metamorphic age of 1100-1400 Ma. In situ zircon 176Lu/177Hf isotope analysis shows wide range of εHf (t) values indicating the protolith sediments were derived from Paleo-Neoarchean juvenile crust that mixed with recycled older crust. The Bondla ultramafic-gabbro complex, northwest of the Kumta suture contains basalt, dolerite, gabbro, serpentinite, chromitite, peridotite and chromian spinel chemistry suggests evolution in a supra-subduction zone arc tectonic setting.The Sirsi shelf towards east of the Kumta suture, contains weakly deformed sedimentary rocks (limestone, shale, banded iron formations, greywacke, sandstone and quartzite) unconformable on relatively high-grade ca. 2571 Ma gneisses of the Dharwar craton. The Karwar block to the west is composed of weakly metamorphosedca. 3200 Ma tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) with enclaves of amphibolite. In situ zircon 176Lu/177Hf isotope analysis and whole-rock 143Nd/144Nd isotopic analysis of TTGs show positive εHf and εNd values indicating ca. 3200 Ma juvenile crust. The Coorg block consists of ca. 3200 Ma charnockite, mafic granulites, hornblende-biotite gneiss, garnet-hornblende gabbro and anorthosite.In situ zircon 176Lu/177Hf isotope analysis indicates source as mixture of juvenile crust and older recycled crustal materials. Synthesis of the above results with published data suggests that Kumta and Mercara suture zones incorporate Paleoarchean to Mesoproterozoic sedimentssubjected to high-pressure metamorphism in the late Mesoproterozoic. Metamorphic P-T estimations of mafic granulite and U-Pb zircon geochronology of pelitic gneisses from Betsimisaraka suture zone, Madagascar suggests the rocks were underwent metamorphism at c. 24 kbar and c. 780°C during Mesoproterozoic suturing of Antongil-Masora blocks with the Antananarivo block.From the integration of above results with the new geophysical results and published data Mesoproterozoic Kumta-Mercara suture is interpreted as eastern extension of the Mesoproterozoic Betsimisaraka suture of Madagascar into western India.

The Station Creek Igneous Complex (SCIC) is one of the largest Middle-Late Triassic plutonic bodies in the northern New England Orogen of Eastern Australia. The igneous complex comprises of five plutons - the Woonga Granodiorite (237 Ma), Woolooga Granodiorite (234 Ma), Rush Creek Granodiorites (231 Ma) and Gibraltar Quartz Monzodiorite and Mount Mucki Diorite (227 Ma respectively), emplaced as high-level or epizonal bodies within the Devonian-Carboniferous subduction complex that resulted from a westward subduction along the east Australian margin. Composition of the SCIC ranges from monzogabbro to monzogranite, and includes diorite, monzodiorite, quartz monzodiorite and granodiorite. The SCIC has the typical I-type granitoid mineralogy, geochemistry and isotopic compositions. Its geochemistry is characteristics of continental arc magma, and has a depleted-upper mantle signature with up to 14 wt% supracrustal components (87Sr/86Srinitial = 0.70312 to 0.70391; Nd = +1.35 to +4.9; high CaO, Sr, MgO; and low Ni, Cr, Ba, Rb, Zr, Nb, Ga and Y). The SCIC (SiO2 47%-76%) has similar Nd and Sr isotopic values to island-arc and continentalised island-arc basalts, which suggests major involvement of upper mantle sourced melts in its petrogenesis. SCIC comprises of two geochemical groups - the Woolooga-Rush Greek Granodiorite group (W-RC) and the Mount Mucki Diorite-Gibraltar Quartz Monzodiorite group (MMD-GQM). The W-RC Group is high-potassium, calc-alkalic and metaluminous, whereas the MMD-GQM Group is medium to high potassium, transitional calc-alkalic to tholeiitic and metaluminous. The two geochemical groups of the SCIC magmas are generated from at least two distinct sources - an isotopically evolved Neoproterozoic mantle-derived source with greater supracrustal component (10-14 wt%), and an isotopically primitive mafic source with upper mantle affinity. Petrogenetic modeling using both major and trace elements established that the variations within respective geochemical group resulted from fractional crystallisation of clinopyroxene, amphibole and plagioclase from mafic magma, and late fractionation of alkalic and albitic plagioclase in the more evolved magma. Volcanic rocks associated with SCIC are the North Arm Volcanics (232 Ma), and the Neara Volcanics (241-242 Ma) of the Toogoolawah Group. The major and trace element geochemistry of the North Arm Volcanics is similar to the SCIC, suggesting possible co-magmatic relationship between the SCIC and the volcanic rock. The age of the North Arm Volcanics matches the age of the fractionated Rush Creek Granodiorite, and xenoliths of the pluton are found within epiclastic flows of the volcanic unit. The Neara Volcanics (87Sr/86Sr= 0.70152-0.70330, 143Nd/144Nd = 0.51253-0.51259) differs isotopically from the SCIC, indicating a source region within the HIMU mantle reservoir (commonly associated with contaminated upper mantle by altered oceanic crust). The Neara Volcanics is not co-magmatic to the SCIC and is derived from partial melting upper-mantle with additional components from the subducting oceanic plate. The high levels emplacement of an isotopically primitive mantle-derived magma of the SCIC suggest periods of extension during the waning stage of convergence associated with the Hunter Bowen Orogeny in the northern New England Orogen. The geochemical change between 237 to 227 Ma from a depleted-mantle source with diminishing crustal components, to depleted-mantle fractionate, reflects a fundamental change in the source region that can be related to the tectonic styles. The decreasing amount of supracrustal component suggests either thinning of the subduction complex due to crustal attenuation, leading to the late Triassic extension that enables mantle melts to reach subcrustal levels.
