The Qianlishan complex, located in Hunan Province of South China, is closely associated with intense W-dominated polymetallic mineralization. The Qianlishan complex is composed of three phases: the main-phase porphyritic and equigranular granites, granite porphyry, and mafic dykes. Geochronologically, the zircon U-Pb dating results show that the porphyritic and equigranular granites have ages of approximately 159 and 158 Ma, respectively, similar to those of mafic dykes (approximately 158 Ma), while the granite porphyry was formed later at approximately 145 Ma. Geochemically, the mafic dykes are characterized by calc-alkaline high-Mg andesite (HMA) with high MgO, TiO2, Mg#, and CA/TH index. They exhibit significantly depleted εNd(t) and εHf(t) with high Ba/La, La/Nb, and (La/Yb)N, indicating that they formed from mixing melts of depleted asthenospheric mantle and metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM). The main-phase granites are peraluminous and are characterized by high SiO2, low (La/Yb)N ratios, and relative depletion in Ba, Sr, Ti, and Eu. They also display negative correlations between La, Ce, Y, and Rb contents, suggesting that they are highly fractionated S-type granites. Furthermore, they show high εNd(t) and εHf(t), CaO/Na2O ratios, HREE, and Y contents, indicating that they were produced by parental melting of ancient basement mixed with mantle-derived components. In contrast, the granite porphyry shows A-type signature granites, with higher εNd(t) and εHf(t) and CaO/Na2O ratios than the main-phase granites but similar Zr/Nb and Zr/Hf ratios to the mafic dykes, suggesting that they are the products of partial melting of a hybrid source with ancient basement and the mafic dykes. We thus infer that the slab roll-back led to generation of Qianlishan back-arc basalt and HMA and further triggered the formation of the Qianlishan granite.
