Based on the structure, lithology, and contact relationships, the pluton is divided into four lithological units from the margin to the centre. (1) Medium-grained monzogranite, primarily distributed along the northern and southern margins of the pluton, accounting for ∼ 3 % of its area, containing fine-grained leucocratic enclaves and aplite dikes. (2) Coarse-grained porphyritic biotite granite (CPG) constitutes the main body of the pluton (∼76 % area). (3) Medium-grained porphyritic biotite granite (MPG) intrudes the central part of the CPG (∼17 % area), displaying a fine-grained contact zone with CPG. (4) Fine-grained porphyritic biotite granite (FPG) occurs as small stocks and dikes intruding three units (∼4% area).
