The Luxi and Xiazhuang granitic plutons are parts of the Guidong granite belt in northern Guangdong Province, China. They occur next to each other and have similar crystallization ages. However, the Xiazhuang pluton hosts several important uranium (U) ore deposits, whereas the Luxi pluton does not....
