Abstract

The age of alkali-rich porphyries in the western margin of Yangtze Platform is 30–50 Ma; the minerals mainly are orthoclase, quartz, plagioclase; the chemical composition is alkali-rich [(K2O+Na2O)>8%], highpotash[(K2O+Na2O)=5.09%−8.30%]; the content of ΣREE is relatively low, LREE is concentrated, without anomaly of europium; the average initial ratio of 87Sr/86Sr is 0.7073; the value of δ34S similar to that of the meteoritic sulfur; the ratio of Pb isotope corresponds to that of upper mantle; metallogenic types belong to Cu, Mo, Au, Ag, Pb, Zn polymetal mineralization and rare, rare-earth metal mineralization.
