The Luoyang Fe polymetallic deposit is a well‐known Makeng‐type ore deposit in a late Paleozoic basin in southwest Fujian, southeast China. To investigate the generation of Makeng‐type Fe deposits, we conducted an integrated study of geochronology and S–Pb–O–H isotope compositions of the Luoyang Fe deposit. The LA–ICP–MS zircon U–Pb ages of the granite and Re–Os ages of the molybdenite suggest that the emplacement of the granite was coeval with the mineralization of the Luoyang deposit at 133–131 Ma. The H–O and S–Pb isotope compositions indicate that the metallogenic material of the Luoyang deposit had a magmatic hydrothermal source, and was derived mainly from the upper crust with a low degree of contamination of mantle material. The Pb isotope analyses of the ore minerals show that the Luoyang Fe deposit formed in an orogenic setting.
