The Zhuxi ore deposit is a super-large scheelite（copper） polymetallic deposit discovered in recent years. It grew above copper/tungsten-rich Neoproterozoic argilloarenaceous basement rocks and was formed in the contact zone between Yanshanian granites and Carboniferous-Permian limestone. Granites related to this mineralization mainly include equigranular, middle- to coarse-grained granites and granitic porphyries. There are two mineralization types： skarn scheelite（copper） and granite scheelite mineralization. The former is large scale and has a high content of scheelite, whereas the latter is small scale and has a low content of scheelite. In the Taqian-Fuchun Basin, its NW boundary is a thrust fault, and the SE boundary is an angular unconformity with Proterozoic basement. In Carboniferous-Permian rock assemblages, the tungsten and copper contents in the limestone are both very high. The contents of major elements in granitoids do not differ largely between the periphery and the inside of the Zhuxi ore deposit. In both areas, the values of the aluminum saturation index are A/CNK1.1, and the rocks are classified as potassium-rich strongly peraluminous granites. In terms of trace elements, compared to granites on the periphery of the Zhuxi ore deposit, the granites inside the Zhuxi ore deposit have smaller d Eu values, exhibit a significantly more negative Eu anomaly, are richer in Rb, U, Ta, Pb and Hf, and are more depleted in Ba, Ce, Sr, La and Ti, which indicates that they are highly differentiated S-type granites with a high degree of evolution. Under the influence of fluids, mineralization of sulfides is evident within massive rock formations inside the Zhuxi ore deposit, and the mean SO_3 content is 0.2%. Compared to peripheral rocks, the d Eu and total rare earth element（REE） content of granites inside the Zhuxi ore deposit are both lower, indicating a certain evolutionary inheritance relationship between the granites on the periphery and the granites inside the Zhuxi ore deposit. For peripheral and ore district plutons, U-Pb zircon dating shows an age range of 152–148 Ma. In situ Lu-Hf isotope analysis of zircon in the granites reveals that the calculated e_（Hf）（t） values are all negative, and the majority range from -6 to -9. The T_（DM2） values are concentrated in the range of 1.50–1.88 Ga（peak at 1.75 Ga）, suggesting that the granitic magmas are derived from partial melting of ancient crust. This paper also discusses the metallogenic conditions and ore-controlling conditions of the ore district from the perspectives of mineral contents, hydrothermal alteration, and ore-controlling structures in the strata and the ore-bearing rocks. It is proposed that the Zhuxi ore deposit went through a multistage evolution, including oblique intrusion of granitic magmas, skarn mineralization, cooling and alteration, and precipitation of metal sulfides. The mineralization pattern can be summarized as ＂copper in the east and tungsten in the west, copper at shallow-middle depths and tungsten at deep depths, tungsten in the early stage and copper in the late stage＂.

The Niutangjie tungsten deposit is a bedded skarn-type scheelite deposit and is located at the junction between Ziyuan and Xingan counties in the north of Guangxi, China. The deposit is genetically related to a fine-grained two-mica granite within the orefield. Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating of the granite yielded a Silurian （Caledonian） age of 421.8±2.4 Ma, which is con- temporaneous with the adjacent Yuechengling batholith. Mineralization within the skarn is associated with a quartz, garnet, and diopside gangue, and scheelite is present in a number of different mineral assemblages, such as quartz-scheelite and quartz-sulfide-scheelite; these assemblages correspond to oxide and sulfide stages of mineralization. Sm-Nd isotope analysis of scheelite yielded an isochron age of 421±24 Ma. Although the uncertainty on this date is high, this age suggests that the scheelite mineralization formed during the Late Caledonian, at a similar time to the emplacement of the Niutangjie granite. Zircons within the granite have εHf（t） values and Hf two-stage model ages of-6.5 to -11.6, and 1.79 to 2.11 Ga, respectively. These data suggest that the magma that formed the granite was derived from Mesoproterozoic crustal materials. Scheelite εNd（t） values range from -13.06 to -13.26, also indicative of derivation from ancient crustal materials. Recent research has identified Caledonian magmatism in the western Nanling Range, indicating that this magmatism may be the source of contemporaneous tungsten mineralization.
