Granitoid magmas have been widely used as a natural probe for tracing the crustal evolution process (Martin et al., 2005). Mesozoic granitoids are widespread in the Dabie Orogen. Comprehensive investigations of these granitoids represent a promising opportunity to obtain deeper insight into the petrogenesis, mechanism of magma formation, geodynamic evolution and metallogeny of the associated mineral deposits. The Dabie Orogen contains tens of granitic complexes, which occur either as individual plutons with an areal extent of tens to hundreds of km or as small stocks (generally of <1 km) (Liu et al., 2017). The Mesozoic granitoids in the Dabie Orogen are of particular geological interest as indicators for Mesozoic lithospheric evolution. The Baishipo Ag deposit is located in Luoshan County, Henan Province, China. In this paper, we report the geochronology and geochemistry data to define the timing of magmatism, origin of the magmas, and geodynamic setting.
