Abstract:
Orogenic gold deposits are the focus of attention of many tectonic and mineral geologists. Groves et al.(1998) and Goldfarb et al's(2001)studies, based on the crustal continuum model for late-Archaean lode-gold deposits(Groves, 1993), are marked by involvement of large-amount of new data and consideration for many factors. However, many current studies failed to notice certain macroscopic disparities between Archaean and Phanerozoic geological entities rationally and understand global gold oc- currences and some tectonic settings properly. The Phanerozoic, identified by far too limited igneous activity, lacks the”hypozon- al” type of and any other higher-grade metamorphic rock-hosted gold deposits in a low-grade metamorphic rock-hosted gold camp, whereas the Archaean is likewise devoid of low-grade metamorphic rock-hosted gold depositsin a greenstone belt. The gold deposits in the margin of the North China Block(NCB)are primarily of Jurassic-Cretaceous age, notably younger than the Late Palaeozoic Greater Hinggan(on the north of NCB)and Triassic Qinling-Dabieshan(on the south of NCB)orogens. Those gold deposits, mostly hosted by Archaean intermediate-high grade metamorphic rocks and Late Mesozoic granitoids, are basically ascribed to the giant magmatic arc along the Eurasian Margin, which is Yanshanian in age(Jurassic-Cretaceous)and nearly N-S orientated. East- ern China appears to differ from the North America Cordillera in the Late Mesozoic interval as to being further from the subduction zone, lacking ophiolitic complexes and large-scale metamorphism, having numerous basins and thinning in the crust, suggesting that the magmatic arc was probably formed in a back arc basin-like extensional setting. Further clarifying the connection of Phanerozoic gold deposits to relevant orogens may be the key to understanding orogenic gold deposits throughout the geological age.
