“…Molybdenite of Tsagaan Suvarga porphyry Cu-Mo deposit, Mongolia, yielded Re-Os isochron ages of 370 ± 0.8 Ma, and zircon SHRIMP U-Pb dating of the monzogranite porphyry yielded weighted average age of (365.7 ± 3.6) Ma, suggesting that mineralization took place in Late Devonian, coeval with that of the monzogranite porphyry (Watanabe and Stein, 2000;Hou et al, 2010). In the western segment, the mineralization ages in the Balkhash region of Kazakhstan range from 330 to 316 Ma; for example, the age of the Aktogai deposit is $320 Ma and that of the Kounrad copper deposit is 330 Ma (Seltmann and Porter, 2005), and that of the Borly copper deposit is 315.9 Ma (Chen et al, 2010). The age of the Mengxi copper-molybdenum deposit is similar to that the age of the early-stage mineralization of the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold deposit and the age of the Yelekenhalasu and Halasu deposits are close to that the age of the main-stage mineralization of the Oyu Tolgoi deposit, and the age of the Baogutu copper deposit is close to that of porphyry copper deposits in the Balkhash region.…”
