Intraplate Magmatism and Metallogeny of North Vietnam

Abstract

The Cenozoic mineralization in structures associated with the Red River shear zone (RRSZ) in northern Viet Nam includes the following mineralized ore types TR- (U-Th)-Pb-Zn and TR- (U-Th) –Ba-F, Au-Cu in the Song Da rift zone. The origin of the mineralizations is spatially and (possibly) temporally related to the formation of Paleogene potassic mafic – ultramafic and silisic associations. Molybdenum –precious metals (Mo-W-Cu-Au) in the along with Cu-Au mineralization in the Phan Si Pan uplift are related to Paleogene granitoidic magmatism in the Ye Yen Sun complex. Beside, Cu-(Au – REE) mineralizationsin the Phan Si Pan Uplift are described.
