Abstract: The granite from the Guyong region, western Yunnan Province, China is closely associated with Sn deposits. Electron microprobe analyses show that the biotite in the Guyong biotite adamellite is “ferribiotite”, and the biotite from the Xiaolonghe Sn deposits biotite mimophyre adamellite is siderophyllite. Biotite from both plutons are iron-rich (FeOt=22.39%27.91%) and magnesium-poor (MgO=1.08%10.51%, Magnesium coefficient is 0.070.50). Biotite from Guyang granite is magnesium-rich, suggesting I-type granite contaminated by mantle material, while biotite from Xiaolonghe metallogenetic granite is aluminum-rich and magnesium-poor, suggesting typical peraluminous S-type granites of crustal origin. The crystallization temperature for biotite in Guyong granite and Xiaolonghe granite is 700750 ℃ and 620650 ℃ respectively, with the oxygen fugacity lgf(O2) of -14.0-13.8 and -17.5-17.2 respectively. Crystallization pressure for biotite from Guyong granite is 67120 MPa, indicating a crystallization depth of 2.544.55 km. Relatively high temperature, low oxygen fugacity and shallow environments are favored for forming granite in this region. Xiaolonghe granite is more conducive to the formation of Sn deposits and has a higher potential for Sn mineralization than Guyong granite.
