Evolution of Rare-Metal Li–F Granite Melts in Sources of Ore-Magmatic Systems of Tigrinoe and Zabytoe Sn–W deposits (Central Sikhote-Alin, Primorye)

Research reveals that the ore-magmatic systems (OMSs) of the Tigrinoe and Zabytoe Sn–W deposits in Central Sikhote-Alin, Primorye, share a common origin linked to rare-metal Li–F granite melts. The study demonstrates that granitoids from the Tigrinoe stock represent more differentiated counterparts of those from the Zabytoe stock, with both evolving under high fluid pressure. Key differences in ore mineralization scales between the deposits are attributed to variations in fluid regimes and the involvement of transmagmatic fluid flows. The research employs detailed petrographic and geochemical analyses, including studies of micas and mineral inclusions in quartz, to elucidate these distinctions.
