We recognize eight types of ferroan granitoid that can be distinguished on the basis of major element chemistry. These include alkalic granitoids that may be metaluminous or …
Rare elements include rare-earth elements (REE), Nb, Ta, Zr, and Hf. As a group, these elements are concentrated in the crust and are incompatible (remain in the melt rather than …

Abstract The Thor Lake rare metal (Zr, Nb, REE, Ta, Be, Ga) deposits in Canada's Northwest Territories represent one of the largest resources of zirconium, niobium, and the heavy rare …
Abstract Despite Nb and Ta being considered as 'geochemical twins', most Ta mineral deposits are associated with muscovite-bearing peraluminous granites and related …
Petrological and geochemical observations of pegmatites in the Strange Lake pluton, Canada, have been combined with numerical simulations to improve our understanding of …
The IGCP 510 project Global Correlation of A-type Granites and Related Rocks, their Mineralization, and Significance in Lithospheric Evolution (or, in short, A-type Granites and …
There are widespread Neoproterozoic (830–740Ma) calc-alkaline intrusive rocks in the South China Block, which has been considered a part of the Precambrian supercontinent …
We present major and trace elemental geochemical data, Sr–Nd–Hf isotopes and zircon U– Pb ages for igneous rocks of the Mufushan complex (~ 2400 km 2 outcrop area) in South …
