A precise U–Pb age on cassiterite from the Xianghualing tin
We report the first precise U–Pb isotope data on cassiterite from the large Xianghualing tin-polymetallic deposit in the central Nanling district, South China. The results show that four separates from sample XF-51 have a relatively narrow range of 206Pb/238U apparent ages, varying from 152 to 157 Ma, and the three 206Pb/238U apparent ages …

In situ U–Pb isotopic dating of columbite–tantalite by LA–ICP–MS
In this study, we performed columbite-group minerals (CGM) and cassiterite U–Pb dating on seven different pegmatite veins with different occurrences and deformation styles in the Jiajika deposit. These pegmatites yield CGM U–Pb ages of 213 to 208 Ma and cassiterite U–Pb ages of 199 to 192 Ma, regardless of their occurrences and deformation.
