The Dalaku’an mafic–ultramafic intrusion, located in the western segment of the East Kunlun, presents conducive conditions for the magmatic Cu-Ni sulfide deposits. According to the detailed petrographic observation, the amphiboles within distinct rock types were analyzed by EPMA analysis. The crystallization conditions, such as temperature, pressure, oxygen fugacity, and water content of the magma, were calculated to explore the genesis of the intrusion. The amphiboles were divided into three types: Amp-I, characterized by low silicon content but enrichment of aluminum, titanium, and alkali, predominantly comprising Tschermakitic hornblende and Magnesio-hornblende with mantle-derived traits; Amp-II, exhibiting elevated silicon content but diminished levels of aluminum, titanium, and alkali, primarily constituted of Magnesio-hornblende; whereas Amp-III manifests as Actinolitic hornblende, indicative of crustal origins. The calculated temperatures of amphiboles ranged between Amp-I (955–880) °C, Amp-II (852–774) °C, and Amp-III (761–760) °C; the pressures ranged between Amp-I (454–274) MPa, Amp-II (194–93) MPa, and Amp-III (101–84) MPa; the oxygen fugacities (△NNO) ranged between Amp-I (0.93–2.17), Amp-II (1.55–2.52), and Amp-III (1.89); and the water contents (H₂O_melt) ranged from (6.69–8.67) to (5.90–7.32). The magma experienced multiple stages of crystallization and underwent complex magma evolution at different depths. The high oxygen fugacity and water content could be attributed to the subduction of the oceanic crust. The magma source of the Dalaku’an intrusion was metasomatized by fluids from subducting plates, thereby originating within a post-collision extension.

The Xingdi No.2 intrusion in the Kuluktag Block of northeastern Tarim Craton, which intrudes into the Palaeoproterozoic basement with an exposed area of ca. 12 km², is an orthopyroxene-rich mafic-ultramafic intrusion in a continental rift setting. It consists of gabbros, pyroxenites, and peridotites, and exhibits a crystallization sequence of the principal rock-forming minerals from olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, to plagioclase. The gabbros show a concordant SHRIMP U-Pb zircon age of 752 ± 5.4 Ma. In addition, the olivine grains have forsterite content values of 78–85 mole% and mostly contain low NiO, MnO, CaO, and Cr₂O₃. The rocks are relatively enriched in large ion lithophile elements and LREE, and depleted in HSFE, have non-radiogenic Pb, low ε_Nd (t) values (−2.8 to −23), initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios (0.7059–0.7130). It could be concluded that the rocks represent an analogue of siliceous high magnesium basaltic magma originated by the partial melting of a hydrous and enriched subcontinental lithospheric mantle and contaminated by the continental crust.
