The dating of LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb was carried out for granodiorite porphyries at Dabaoshan polymetallic ore deposit in North Guangdong Province. In cathodoluminescence (CL) image, most zircons in two granodiorite porphyry samples exhibit oscillatory zoning, which is typical for magmatic zircon. The dating of LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb of two samples shows the results that 12 points of oscillatory zoned domains of Dabaoshan granodiorite porphyry sample yields a group of weighted mean 206Pb/238U ages at (175.8±1.5) Ma (MSWD=0.037) and 16 points of oscillatory zoned domains of Chuandu granodiorite porphyry yields a group of weighted mean 206Pb/238U ages at (175.0±1.7) Ma (MSWD=0.41). So the epoch of granodiorite porphyry emplacement is nearly 175 Ma, belonging to the first stage of the early Yanshanian (180~170 Ma).
