Formation of the Jinchuan ultramafic intrusion and the world's third largest Ni-Cu sulfide deposit: Associated with the -825 Ma south China mantle plume?

We report here SHRIMP U-Pb geochronological, geochemical, and Nd isotopic data for the Jinchuan ultramafic intrusion (Gansu Province, China), which hosts the world’s third largest magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide deposits. U-Pb baddeleyite analyses yield an age of 812 ± 26 Ma for the ultramafic intrusion. Th...
