This research aims to determine the age and genesis of molybdenum deposits in the Taipingcun area, focusing on the magmatic processes involved.
Integrated LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb geochronology for age dating.
Trace-element and whole-rock geochemical analyses to assess mineralization processes.
Estimation of magma redox state and analysis of crustal thickness related to Mo deposits.
Zircon U–Pb dating shows a mean age of 163 ± 3 Ma, aligning with a Re-Os molybdenite age of 164 ± 1 Ma.
Strong correlation between Mo anomaly intensity and crustal thickness, indicating geological relationships.
Taipingcun intrusion linked to magmatism during the compressional–extensional transition of Yanshan Orogeny.
