The Tethyan tectonic domain hosts numerous world-class mineral deposits. Among these, the Dewulu skam copper deposit in Western Qinling, China belongs to the Paleotethys ore belt The skarn and orebodies here occur as stratoids or lenses at the contact between the Triassic Dewulu intrusive complex and Permian marine clastic and carbonates. Alteration minerals include prograde skarns (garnet, diopside, wollastonite), plagioclase, hornblende, actinolite, tremolite, epidote, chlorite, calcite, quartz and sericite. The main ore types include early disseminated skam-type replacement orebodies and late-stage quartz-sulfide veins. Chalcopyrite is the major ore mineral, along with pyrite, bornite and sphalerite. The Dewulu intrusive complex comprises quartz diorite, quartz diorite porphyry and dioritic mafic microgranular enclaves (MME). The MMEs are spheroidal in shape, and have igneous mineral assemblages, acicular apatites, complex oscillatory zoned plagioclase and quartz megacrysts surrounded by mafic minerals. The MMEs are metaluminous and calc-alkaline to high-K calc-alkaline, and possess relatively high Ni, Cr and MgO contents and Mg# values. They display sub-parallel patterns in trace element spider diagrams and rare earth element (REE) plots. They are also characterized by the enrichment of Rb, U and Th, depletion of Ba, Sr, Nb and Ta and negative Eu anomaly. Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating of the dioritic MME yields an age of 247.0 +/- 2.2 Ma, coeval with the host quartz diorite, quartz diorite porphyry and ore-related sericite 40Ar/39Ar plateau ages within analytical uncertainties. Oxygen fugacity estimated from trace element compositions of zircons from the dioritic MME shows FMQ +/- 33. The zircons have negative epsilon(Hf)(t) values in a range of -8.0 to -33, corresponding to two-stage model ages ranging from 1.48 to 1.78 Ga. The integrated data from petrology, geochronology and bulk geochemistry suggest that the Early Triassic granitoids associated with Cu skarn mineralization at Dewulu were products of arc magmatism and involved magma mixing in an active continental margin setting. The magma was sourced through partial melting of enriched sub-continental lithospheric mantle that had been previously modified by slab-derived melt during the continuous northward subduction of the Paleotethys oceanic slab.
