The high light rare earth elements contents (up to 412 ppm) in the weathering crust over the REE industrial grade were observed in the Huangmeijian alkaline pluton of the Luzong Volcanic Basin, firstly revealing the mineralization potential of ion-adsorption rare earth elements deposit in central Anhui Province.
