The Late Hercynian granitoids of the Agadyr' tungsten-molybdenum ore d
istrict, Central Kazakhstan, are classified into seven geologic and pe
trographic types: #0 - latite dikes, #1 and #2 - monzonite and granodi
orite, #3 and #4 - biotite granite, #5 - leucogranite 1, and #6 - leuc
ogranite 2. The leucogranite 1 (#5) is the end member of the monzonite
-granite-leucogranite differentiation series, a fact inferred from the
REE and LILE patterns inherited by the leucogranite, and typical of t
he more melanocratic members of the series. The same features of the l
eucogranite 2, along with the chemistry of their biotite and the assem
blage of their accessory minerals, indicate that the leucogranite 2 (#
6) have no relation to the rock series #0 - #5, but compose a genetica
lly independent type of granite. Magmatic-stage metasomatics occur alo
ng the contacts of granitoids #1, #2, and #6 with the host rocks. The
metasomatics formed due to the infiltration of a magmatic fluid into t
he host rocks, as follows from the specific mineralogical and geochemi
cal features of the altered near-contact rocks. The calculated T-f(O2)
, T-f(HF)/f(H2O) ratios indicate that the #0 - #5 series of granitoids
(from mafic to silicic rocks) is a sequence of magma crystallization
products formed at oxygen and fluorine fugacities increasing with diff
erentiation grade (oxidized type). Conversely, the leucogranite 2 (#6)
show features of reduced granitoids (reduced type) with low oxygen an
d high fluorine fugacities. The magmatic-stage metasomatic aureoles ne
ar the contacts of the oxidized magmas contain the Bt(Mg) + Mag assemb
lage, whereas the magmatic-stage metasomatic aureoles near the reduced
leucogranite bear the Bt(Fe) + Ilm assemblage. These parageneses char
acterize, respectively, the oxidized and the reduced type of the magma
tic-stage metasomatic alterations.
