First discovery of highly fractionated tourmaline-bearing leucogranite-pegmatite in Duxiushan, Anqing ore-cluster region, middle and lower Yangtze metallogenic belt: A clue to strategic metal exploration

Abstract

A suite of highly fractionated granites and associated pegmatite, were revealed through drill hole in the Anqing ore-cluster region in the Lower Yangtze River Belt (MLRB), Eastern China, for the first time. The pegmatite has abundant tourmaline. This discovery provides new clues for the prospection of boron and rare metals in this region.
