Geochronology and geochemistry of the Bangpu Mo-Cu porphyry ore deposit, Tibet

► The zircon U-Pb ages of adamellite and diorite are 14.07-14.96 Ma and 15.30 Ma, respectively. ► The Re-Os isotope ages of the molybdenite are 14.96-16.61 Ma. ► The geochemistry of the adamellite indicates an adakitic affinity. ► The geochemistry of the diorite is different from that of adamellite. ► The metallic minerals formed in two stages.
