The Babaoshan granite intrusion in Lushi county, Henan province, is tectonically located in the southern margin of North China Craton, on the western part of East Qinling orogen. The granite intrusion occurs as circular column which might have been the neck of volcanic edifice; while the associated iron ore deposit with accompanying Cu-Mo-Pb-Zn mineralization makes it a unique target for metallogenetic investigation in East Qinling area. The Babaoshan granite intrusion is a zoned granitic stock consisting of syenogranite porphyry in the outer zone and biotite monzogranite porphyry in the inner zone. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb determination indicates that the syenogranite porphyry and biotite monzogranite porphyry are roughly coeval, formed at (146.6±1.6) Ma and (145.9±1.9) Ma, respectively. Zircon Hf isotope compositions of the syenogranite porphyry and biotite monzogranite porphyry are proximately identical, with εHf(t) values vary in ranges of -27.55~-20.71 and -27.30~-21.90, with Hf crustal model ages(tDM2) of 1.80~2.93 Ga and 2.03~2.92 Ga, respectively, indicative of crustal origin. Considering the tectonic evolution and geochemical characteristics of the granite as well as other Mesozoic granites in the southern margin of North China Craton, we suggest that the Babaoshan granite along with other Mesozoic granites was most likely derived from partial melting of subducted crust of Yangtze Craton, and possibly with minor involvement of the Taihua Group and Xiong’er Group under extensional tectonic regime following depression of the subduction-collision between the Yangtze and North China cratons.
