(OH,F,Cl), is the most abundant accessory mineral in igneous rocks because of its wide stability in geological processes (Watson, 1980) and can contain a number of other trace elements by substitutions in both anion and cation sites (Sha and Chappell, 1999). In this paper, abundant major and REE concentrations of apatites of six mineralized granitic rocks from southeast Hunan province, i.e. granodiorites associated to Cu-Pb-Zn deposits (Baoshan and Tongshanling) and biotite granites related to skarn W deposits (Xitian and Xintianling) and Sn deposits (Furong and Hehuaping), have been analyzed by using electron microprobe and laser-ablation ICP-MS. The main objective is to figure out whether the chemical compositions of apatite in granitic rock which associated to ore deposit can be the proxy of petrogenesis and mineralization types and to indicate the regional metallogeny and tectonic evolution in southeast Hunan province, China.
