Located in Zhongdian island arc belt in northwestern Yunnan Province, the Pulang superlarge porphyry copper deposit was formed in Late Triassic during the westward subduction of the Ganzi-Litang ocean plate below Zhongdian microplate. The mineralized rocks of the Pulang porphyry copper deposit mainly include quartz dioritic porphyries and quartz monzonitic porphyries in a complex pluton, and economic ores are mainly preserved in the quartz monzonitic porphyries. The quartz dioritic porphyrites were intruded by later quartz monzonitic porphyries, but the two kinds of rocks display similar geochemical characteristics, such as similar REE patterns, incompatible trace element patterns and initial 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd ratios, suggesting that they were cogenetic products or were derived from similar sources. Therefore, the authors hold that the Pulang porphyry copper deposit was probably related to the westward subduction of Ganzi-Litang oceanic plate during Late Triassic.
