The giant Jiaodong gold province, with more than 5000 t of proven gold resources, is unique
in that its Mesozoic gold deposits are hosted in a Precambrian basement block. There has …

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 …

The genesis of giant gold provinces is an international scientific frontier, in which the source
of a huge amount of gold and the drive for mineralization are key challenges. The …

We present a review of major gold mineralization events in China and a summary of
metallogenic provinces, deposit types, metallogenic epochs and tectonic settings. Over 200 …

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

Continental China is a mosaic of numerous tectonic blocks, which amalgamated from
Neoarchean to Cenozoic broadly coeval with the cycles of global supercontinents such as …

With very few exceptions, orogenic gold deposits formed in subduction-related tectonic
settings in accretionary to collisional orogenic belts from Archean to Tertiary times. Their …

Understanding the relationship between mineral occurrences and host granitic rocks can be
controversial. The Zaozigou Au-Sb deposit (118 t Au, 0.12 Mt Sb), hosted in …

The south-eastern part of the North China Craton (NCC), the major historical source of gold
supply to the former Emperors of China, continues to be a potential target for gold …

This study, via combined analysis of geophysical and geochemical data, reveals a
lithospheric architecture characterized by crust–mantle decoupling and vertical heat-flow …
