Since the concept of mineral systems was first proposed, there have been growing calls for
their use in deriving holistic genetic models and in assisting in exploration targeting in a …

Although most economic geology research is concentrated at the deposit or mineral-system
scale for a single well-defined deposit group with a consistent metal association, there are …

Jiaodong gold deposits are mainly sited along faulted contacts between Upper Jurassic
Linglong granite and Precambrian basement metamorphic rocks or Lower Cretaceous …

Abstract Concept-based orogenic gold exploration requires a scale-integrated approach
using a robust mineral system model. Most genetic hypotheses for orogenic gold deposits …

The Jiaodong gold province in northeastern China is the country's premier gold resource
and globally one of the most important gold provinces. The late Early Cretaceous gold …

Abstract The Qiyugou Au deposit, located in the **ong'ershan ore cluster of central China,
consists of breccia pipe hosted Au ore bodies (> 60 t Au) and newly discovered porphyry ore …

Global gold deposit classes are enigmatic in relation to first-order tectonic scale, leading to
controversial genetic models and exploration strategies. Traditionally, hydrothermal gold …

The construction and destruction of continents, cratons and supercontinents on the globe
involved multiple events of plume, rifting, subduction-accretion, and collision through the …

The genesis of hypozonal orogenic gold deposits is highly controversial, with both crustal
metamorphic fluids and variously derived sub-crustal fluids suggested as fluid and metal …

Abstract The North China Craton (NCC) hosts the world's most typical example of
“decratonic” gold deposits including lode, porphyry, cryptoexplosive breccia, and skarn …
