Abstract
The Panzhihua intrusion represents a feeder/plumbing system related to ELIP volcanism. Picritic magmas fractionate at depth forming the parental basaltic magmas of the Panzhihua intrusion. Furthermore, the main Fe-Ti oxide ore layer, within the section of the intrusion, is not in situ and interpreted to be emplaced along the footwall contact as a result of gravitational instability and slumping of crystal-rich slurries.
