The Zhubu mafic-ultramafic intrusion of the Permian Emeishan large igneous province (LIP), SW China hosts a magmatic Ni, Cu and platinum-group element (PGE) deposit. It consists of a layered sequence with sub-horizontal modal layering wrapped by a sub-vertical marginal zone. Our new zircon U-Pb isotopic dating gives a mean age of 263.2 ± 5.6 Ma for the layered sequence. The volatiles extracted from the mineral separates of the Zhubu intrusion are composed of predominant H2O (11,769.84 mm3·STP/g, STP-standard temperature and pressure) and minor H2and CO2. The layered sequence has lower H2O but higher H2, CO2, H2S and SO2contents than the marginal zone. The CO2and CH4extracted at 400–900 °C and 900–1200 °C have light δ13CCO2varying from − 17.45‰ to − 7.10‰ and δ13CCH4varying from − 41.35‰ to − 22.88‰. The pyroxene separates have significantly lower (87Sr/86Sr)ivalues (0.705882 to 0.708912) and slightly higher εNd(t = 263 Ma) values (− 2.8 to 0.7) than the whole rocks. The εHf(t = 263 Ma) values of zircon crystals vary from − 3.05 to + 1.90. The chemical compositions of volatiles from the Zhubu intrusion indicate a slightly reduced condition and a H2O-rich parental magma. The C-Hf-Sr-Nd isotopes for the Zhubu intrusion are consistent with ~ 15 wt% assimilation of the upper crust by a mantle-derived magma. The carbon isotopes indicate that a thermogenic component from sedimentary organic materials was present in the contaminated magma. A weak positive correlation between volatile and PGE contents, together with the C-Hf-Sr-Nd isotopes, indicates that sulfide saturation in the Zhubu magma was triggered by crustal contamination including the addition of volatiles.
