The Mesozoic intrusions of the Jiaodong Peninsula, eastern China, host giant gold depos-its. Understanding the genesis of these deposits requires the determination of the source of the parental auriferous fluid and the timing of gold mineralization, which are strongly influenced by the cooling/ uplift histories of the hosting intrusions. We performed an integrated U-Pb geochronology study on both zircon and apatite from four major magmatic episodes of the Jiaodong Peninsula. The zircon and apatite U-Pb ages are 156.9 ± 1.2 and 137.2 ± 2.4 Ma for the Linglong intrusion, 129.9 ± 1.0 and 125.0 ± 3.8 Ma for the Qujia intrusion, 119.5 ± 0.7 and 117.2 ± 1.8 Ma for the Liulinzhuang intrusion, 118.6 ± 1.0 and 111.6 ± 1.6 Ma for the Nansu intrusion, respectively. The coupled zircon and apatite data of these granitoids indicate a slow cooling rate (11.9 ℃/Ma) in the Late Jurassic, and rapid uplift and cooling (35.8-29.2 ℃/Ma) in the Early Cretaceous. The dramatically increased uplift and cooling peri-od in the Early Cretaceous are contemporaneous with large-scale gold mineralization in the Jiaodong Peninsula. This implies that thermal upwelling of asthenosphere and related tectonic extension played an important role in gold remobilization and precipitation.
