HREE concentration in the Baerzhe Granites, Inner Mongolia, China

Abstract

The Baerzhe Granites, best known to reveal the tetrad-effect on their REE patterns, are evaluated, on a resource basis. The granites can be significant source for heavy and intermediate REE in future. This mineralization can be comparable to the HREE-mineralized Thor Lake deposits in Canada and leuco-microgranite at Ghurayyah, Saudi Arabia.
