The recently discovered Halatumiao magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide deposit is located in the western part of the Baolidao terrane, which represents the middle-eastern segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), Inner Mongolia, NE China. This deposit is an important case of a magmatic sulfide deposit related to Early Permian subduction magmatism in an arc setting. In this contribution, we report in-situ zircon U-Pb ages, whole-rock major and trace element and PGE data, and Os and S isotope compositions from the Halatumiao ore-bearing intrusion to constrain its genesis and relationship to the Early Permian subduction-related magmatism. The Halatumiao mafic-ultramafic intrusion is composed of wehrlite, olivine websterite and gabbro. Semi-massive and disseminated sulfide mineralization with a pentlandite + pyrrhotite + chalcopyrite assemblage occurs in both mafic and ultramafic rocks of the intrusion. In-situ dating of magmatic zircon grains separated from an ultramafic rock sample yielded a U-Pb age of 292.3 ± 1.5 Ma. This age is very close to the age of the Erbutu Ni-Cu sulfide deposit (294.2 ± 2.7 Ma) located in the western part of the northern margin of the North China craton. The high Ni/Cu ratios (6.7 in average, except one sample) of ore samples indicate that the parental magma to the Halatumiao deposit was a primitive basalt. The good positive correlation between IPGEs (Ir vs. Os, Ru and Rh) indicates that fractional crystallization of MSS is the key factor for the PGE tenors. The positive γOs(t) values (from +46 to +68) and mantle-like S isotopic compositions (δ34S mostly between −1.5 and 0.5‰), The trace element characteristics show that a minor to moderate degree of crustal contamination (5–10%) has occurred in the magma. Fractional crystallization and crustal contamination were likely the key factors for sulfide saturation in the Halatumiao mafic magma. The relatively high Ni tenors of sulfides (avg. 6.4 wt%) indicate that the Late Paleozoic mafic-ultramafic intrusions abounding in the Xing’an-Inner Mongolia region have a good potential for hosting economic Ni-Cu sulfide mineralization.
