The Nanling metallogenic belt in South China has complex geologic conditions and rich mineral resources. The Baoshan Pb–Zn–Cu polymetallic deposit is located in the west part of the Nanling metallogenic belt that has experienced intensive Yanshanian magmatism, resulting in a large-scale mineralization. Mineralization in the Baoshan deposit is mainly skarn type, but hydrothermal vein type is also present. Igneous rocks in the Baoshan mining area are mainly hypabyssal granodiorite porphyry with porphyritic textures. In the present study, we conducted systematic in-situ LA-ICP-MS zircon trace elements to assess the metallogenic potential for granodiorite porphyry.
