... Several W-Sn deposits have been discovered in the orogen during the past decade (Li et al., 2006). Exploration began in 2000 resulting in the discovery of the Baiganhu W-Sn ore field in the orogen during 2001 (Li et al., 2006) with a combined reserve of 174,913 t @ $0.15 wt.% WO 3 and 79,091 t @ 0.1 wt.% Sn (Gao et al., 2014 A large number of geological studies, including fluid inclusions, stable isotopes and geochronology, have recently been conducted in the Baiganhu W-Sn ore field, which have significantly enhanced our understanding of the genesis of mineralization in the region (Li et al., 2006;Gao and Li, 2011;Li et al., 2012a;Feng et al., 2013;Gao et al., 2014;Zheng et al., 2016). However, a well-constrained genetic model remains controversial due to the lack of precise dating for the mineralization. ...

... A large W-Sn mineralisation occurred in the Baiganhu area during the post-collisional extension. Various intrusions related to the mineralisation also formed under post-collisional extensional regime at ca. 432-412 Ma between the Middle Altyn and Eastern Kunlun terranes (Supplementary Table S1, Fig. 1, Fig. 12) (Dong et al., 2018;Gao et al., 2010, Li et al., 2012, 2013aWang et al., 2014;Zhang et al., 2014;Zhou et al., 2015). ...
