The Bailongshan lithium polymetallic pegmatite deposit is geologically situated in the eastern part of Tianshuihai terrane, contains a resource of 5.06 Mt (million tons) Li2O, 160 kt BeO, 316 kt Rb2O, 41 kt Nb2O5, and 11 kt Ta2O5, and belongs to a lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT)-type deposit.
Spodumene is the main Li-bearing mineral and considerable amounts of Li are carried by phosphates (amblygonite-montebrasite and amblygonite-montebrasite series). The Bailongshan deposit is divided into six ore segments (I-VI) from northwest to southeast, among which regional zonation is well-developed in segment β € and VI. According to the different mineral assemblages and textures, seven pegmatite zones (i to vii) could be identified away from the muscovite granite, i.e., (i) quartz-albite-tourmaline, (ii) blocky albite-quartz-tourmaline, (iii) medium-coarse-grained quartz-tourmaline, (iv) layered aplite, (v) quartz-muscovite, (vi) quartz-albite-spodumene, and (vii) quartz-spodumene. Pegmatites from zone i-v are barren, whereas those from zone vi-vii are Li ore-bearing without inner zonation.
The LCT family and the ore-bearing pegmatite.
