Abstract The Central China Orogenic Belt (CCOB) comprises, from the east to the west, the
Tongbai-Dabie, Qinling, Qilian and Kunlun Orogens, and preserves abundant and important …

The North China Craton (NCC) was originally formed by the amalgamation of the eastern
and western blocks along an orogenic belt at∼ 1.9 Ga. After cratonization, the NCC was …

Orogenic gold deposits account for more than 30% of the global gold resources. To
understand the genesis of orogenic gold deposits and ultimately target new orogenic gold …

Although the axial and dominant geocentric character of the Earth's magnetic field means
that paleolongitude is indeterminate, paleomagnetism is otherwise the only truly quantitative …

Phanerozoic orogenic gold mineralization at craton margins is related to the metasomatism
of the lithospheric mantle by crustal material. Slab subduction transfers Au from the crust to …

Plate tectonics, involving a globally linked system of lateral motion of rigid surface plates, is
a characteristic feature of our planet, but estimates of how long it has been the modus …

Archean cratons have map patterns and rock associations that are diagnostic of the Wilson
Cycle. The North China Craton (NCC) consists of several distinctly different tectonic units …

China contains three major Precambrian blocks, the North China, South China and Tarim
cratons, separated and sutured by Phanerozoic orogenic belts. The North China Craton …

Abstract The North China craton (NCC) hosts numerous gold deposits and is known as the
most gold-productive region of China. The gold deposits were mostly formed within a few …

Abstract The East Asian continent records a complex geologic and tectonic history that
involved the amalgamation of several small-to medium-sized blocks from Laurasia or …
