The Miao’ershan–Yuechengling composite granite, located in northern Guangxi at the western section of the Nanling Range, is a multi-period and multi-stage composite pluton with an exposed area of more than 3000 km (Fig. 1). Paleozoic and Proterozoic strata are exposed around it, and magmatic activities mainly occurred during the Caledonian and Indosinian periods. Till now, more than one hundred W-Sn-Mo-Pb-Zn-Cu (U) deposits and ore occurrences have been discovered along the inner and outer contact zones of this granite. Through recent years’ research, we infer that this area is not only a preferred area for studying granite and mineralization in Caledonian and Indosinian periods, but also a potential CaledonianIndosinian ore-concentrated area.
