摘　　要：The muscovite granites at the study area are being emplaced into biotite granites and ophiolitic mélange settings. They occur in four exposures namely;Umm Seleimat, Sikait, Umm El Kheran and Umm Addebaa exposure. The presence of garnet and muscovite flakes may reflect the peraluminous nature of the studied muscovite granites. Petrographically, the studied granites are mostly subsolvus and consist of plagioclase, K-feldspars, quartz, muscovite and biotite. Garnet, zircon, allanite and opaques are accessories. The textural features of these granites are expressed by bent plagioclase lamellae, distorted microcline twinning, deformed mica flakes and development of myrmekite and recrystallization of feldspars into fine-grained aggregates. Umm Seleimat and Sikait exposures are more differentiated due to the presence of high content of K-feldspar and LREEs. The REE budget decreased from Umm Seleimat-Sikait exposures to Umm El Kheran-Umm Addebaa exposures as (514.5 - 495.6) to (195.9 - 197.7), respectively. Umm Seleimat-Sikait exposures have lower HREE/LREE (0.12 - 0.67), relative to Umm El Kheran-Umm Addebaa exposures (0.99 - 2.06). The studied granites revealed that the chondrite normalized REE patterns are the normal M-type of tetrad effect, where TE1,3 tetrad effect is higher than 1 in all samples which implies that there was an interaction between melt and water-haloid-rich fluid when these granites are crystallized from magma. Spectrometric values of Umm Seleimat and Umm Addebaa indicate that U content is more than Th content. Applying the U mobilization equation proved that the studied granites have been originated from a late magmatic phase of magma very rich in radioelements, also the majority of measurements lie above the zero line indicating that the studied granites affected with hydrothermal solutions rich in uranium than thorium which indicates uranium addition.The muscovite granites at the study area are being emplaced into biotite granites and ophiolitic mélange settings.
