Although the term orogenic gold has become widely accepted over the past 20 years for
disseminated-to lode-style gold deposits that formed in a variety of tectonic environments …

Accretionary orogens function as crucial sites for the generation of arc igneous rocks and
continental crust, but the spatial and temporal distribution of arc igneous rocks and the link …

Abstract The Eastern Tianshan and East Junggar orogenic belts are major constituents of
the southwestern Central Asian Orogenic Belt. This study applies low-temperature …

The Altaids accreted around, and grew southward, from the Siberian craton, but the time of
final amalgamation of this orogen is still controversial. The Eastern Tianshan in the …

Abstract The Sanchakou Cu deposit is located in the eastern section of the Dananhu
magmatic arc in the Eastern Tianshan orogenic belt, northwest China. Sanchakou is hosted …

In order to investigate the behavior of potassium (K) isotopes during metamorphic
dehydration and to further constrain its implications for K recycling in the subduction zone …

Apatite as an excellent tracer of the magmatic and metallogenic processes, can incorporate
large amounts of trace elements sensitive to melting and/or ore-fluid evolution. This paper …

With aim of providing constraints on the Late Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the southern
Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), an integrated study was conducted on the …

Subduction related metasomatism has been proposed to be one of the most important
processes that may cause Ca isotopic heterogeneities in the mantle. Back-arc basin basalts …

To constrain the closure mechanism and time of the Paleo-Asian Ocean, we report new
geochronological and geochemical data for Triassic granites along a NW–SE corridor from …
