Different rock varieties can be distinguished among the two main categories: (1) country rocks (granodiorites and monzogranite), and (2) BRC (syenogranite and alkali feldspar granites). Generally, the granodiorites are medium- to coarse-grained and show hypidiomorphic and porphyritic texture. They are essentially composed of quartz, plagioclase, microcline, and biotite with some minor zircon and allanite as accessory minerals. Plagioclase crystals are euhedral to subhedral prisms that show variable degrees of sericitization while the biotite flakes are slightly altered to chlorite with some fine apatite inclusions. The monzogranite, syenogranite, and alkali feldspar granites are holocrystalline and show hypidiomorphic texture, and they are composed essentially of K-feldspar, plagioclase, quartz, biotite and hornblende while kaolinite and sericite represent secondary minerals. The percentage of mafic minerals in the three granite varieties range from 4% to 8%. They are represented by ferromagnesian minerals such as hornblende and biotite.
