The Chishan REE deposit is located in southwest of western Shandong uplift area. It is a hard rock and ultra-large type light rare earth deposit. Previous studies have found that the rare earth mineralization is closely related to the Chishan alkaline complex. The genesis of the rock mass and the formation age of the de- posit are still scientific issues that need attention. Therefore , a systematic study on the petrography , geochronol- ogy , trace element and isotope geochemistry of the Chishan alkaline complex was carried out in this paper , and Re-Os isotopic dating of the deposit was carried out for the first time using the molybdenite. The results show that the zircon U-Pb age of the Chishan alkaline complex is 119. 9±0. 9 Ma , and the molybdenite Re -Os iso- tope age is 120. 0± 1. 8 Ma , indicating that the diagenesis and mineralization are the products of Early Creta- ceous magmatism. The Chishan alkaline complex rock mass is characterized by rich alkali and poor magnesium , belonging to alkaline rock series. The total amount of rare earth elements is high , and the REE pattern is char- acterized by a strong enrichment of light rare earth elements as a right-leaning direction. The trace elements are enriched in Ba , Th , U and Nd , and depleted in Nb , Ta , Zr and Hf. The whole rock (87Sr/86 Sr) i value is 0. 706 36-0. 711 68 , the εNd ( t) value is from -9. 70 to -8. 82 , and the zircon εHf( t) value is from -6. 75 to - 12. 22 , indicating that the magma source area has the characteristics of mantle enriched in EM Ⅰ. In summa- ry , the diagenesis and mineralization of the Chishan REE deposit should be formed in an extensional tectonic setting , which is closely related to the enriched mantle upwelling caused by the destruction and reduction of North China Craton lithosphere in Early Cretaceous.
