The Mingze Cu-Mo deposit is located in the southern margin of the Lhasa block of the Himalayan Tibetan Plateau. Here, we report the geochronological and geochemical data from Mingze monzodiorites, which hosts the Mingze deposit. Zircon dating indicates that the Mingze monzodiorites were emplaced at ca. 31 Ma (i.e., the Oligocene). The monzodiorites have variable SiO2 and MgO contents, strongly negative high field-strength element (HFSE, such as Ta, Nb, Zr and Hf) anomalies on the normalized trace element diagram and show uniform (87Sr/86Sr)i (0.7066–0.7076), εNd(t) (−2.50 to −4.04) and εHf(t) (+1.50 to +7.50). Their geochemical compositions are different from coeval (40–30 Ma) adakite-like rocks but comparable to coeval mafic enclaves and gabbros. We propose that Mingze monzodiorites were derived from partial melting of the lithospheric mantle, which previously metasomatized by the subducted Indian continental plate that probably subducted into the overlying mantle. The concurrency of the genetically related mafic enclaves and associated intermediate to mafic rocks implies the heterogeneity of the Lhasa lower crust.
