Fluid Inclusion and Stable Isotope Geochemistry of the Shangxu Gold Deposit, Northern Tibet

Objective The Shangxu gold deposit is located in the south of the middle Bangong-Nujiang suture zone in northern Tibet. The origin of this deposit as an orogenic gold deposit is debatable. The study of the Shangxu deposit has a profound implication on gold exploration in the Bangong- Nujiang metallogenic belt and can also improve our understanding of gold mineralization in northern Tibet.

Mineral chemistry and isotope geochemistry of pyrite from the Heilangou gold deposit, Jiaodong Peninsula, Eastern China

The Heilangou gold deposit is located in the northern QixiaePenglai gold belt, which is one amongst the three large gold belts in the eastern Shandong Province （Jiaodong Peninsula）. The ore body has formed within the Guojialing granite. In this study, we report the mineral chemistry of pyrite, as well as the S, Pb, and HeO isotope data of the Heilangou gold deposit. The chemical composition of pyrite in the Heilangou gold deposit indicates that the associated gold deposit is a typical magmatic hydrothermal one. The geochemical signatures and crystal structure of pyrite show that the ore-forming materials have been derived from the crust. The S isotope data of the pyrites from Heilangou show an overall range from 5.5 to 7.8＆amp;and an average of 6.7＆amp;. The S isotope data in this deposit are similar to those from the deposits in the Jiaodong gold belt. The Pb and S isotope variations are small in the Heilangou gold deposit. The 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb and 208Pb/204Pb ratios are 17.4653e17.5958, 15.5105e15.5746 and 38.0749e38.4361, respec-tively. These data plot between the lower crust and the orogenic belt. The Pb isotope data in the Heilangou gold deposit are similar to those in the Linglong gold deposit. From the Qixia gold area （the Liukou and Majiayao gold deposits） to the MupingeRushan gold belt （Rushan gold deposit） to the ZhaoeYe gold belt （the Linglong, Sanshandao and Jiaojia gold deposits）, the 206Pb/204Pb ratios progressively increase. The DeO isotope data obtained from quartz separates suggest that the ore-forming fluid was similar to a mixture of magmatic and meteoric waters. These results suggest that the ore-forming elements were primarily from source fluids derived from the lower crust.

Genesis of the Bangbu Orogenic Gold Deposit, Tibet： Evidence from Fluid Inclusion, Stable Isotopes, and Ar-Ar Geochronology

The Bangbu gold deposit is a large orogenic gold deposit in Tibet formed during the AlpineHimalayan collision. Ore bodies（auriferous quartz veins） are controlled by the E-W-trending Qusong-Cuogu-Zhemulang brittle-ductile shear zone. Quartz veins at the deposit can be divided into three types： pre-metallogenic hook-like quartz veins, metallogenic auriferous quartz veins, and postmetallogenic N-S quartz veins. Four stages of mineralization in the auriferous quartz veins have been identified：（1） Stage S1 quartz＋coarse-grained sulfides,（2） Stage S2 gold＋fine-grained sulfides,（3） Stage S3 quartz＋carbonates, and（4） Stage S4 quartz＋ greigite. Fluid inclusions indicate the oreforming fluid was CO_2-N_2-CH_4 rich with homogenization temperatures of 170–261°C, salinities 4.34–7.45 wt% Na Cl equivalent. δ^（18）Ofluid（3.98‰–7.18‰） and low δDV-SMOW（-90‰ to-44‰） for auriferous quartz veins suggest ore-forming fluids were mainly metamorphic in origin, with some addition of organic matter. Quartz vein pyrite has δ^（34）SV-CDT values of 1.2‰–3.6‰（an average of 2.2‰）, whereas pyrite from phyllite has δ^（34）SV-CDT 5.7‰–9.9‰（an average of 7.4‰）. Quartz vein pyrites yield 206Pb/204 Pb ratios of 18.662–18.764, 207Pb/204 Pb 15.650–15.683, and ^（208）Pb/204 Pb 38.901–39.079. These isotopic data indicate Bangbu ore-forming materials were probably derived from the Langjiexue accretionary wedge. 40Ar/39 Ar ages for sericite from auriferous sulfide-quartz veins yield a plateau age of 49.52 ± 0.52 Ma, an isochron age of 50.3 ± 0.31 Ma, suggesting that auriferous veins were formed during the main collisional period of the Tibet-Himalayan orogen（-65–41 Ma）.

Geochronology, geochemistry and Hf isotopes of andesites in the Sandaowanzi gold deposit(Great Xing’an Range, NE China): implications for petrogenesis, tectonic setting,and mineralization

The Sandaowanzi gold deposit is an extremely Au-rich deposit in the Northern Great Hinggan Range in recent years.Zircon U-Pb geochronology,Hf isotope analysis,and the geochemistry of andesites of the Longjiang Formation from the Sandaowanzi gold deposit were used to investigate the origin,magmatic evolution as well as mineralization and tectonic setting of the Early Cretaceous epithermal gold deposits in the northern Great Hinggan Range area.Zircon U-Pb dating reveals an emplacement age of 123.4±0.3 Ma,indicating that the andesites of the Sandaowanzi gold deposit was formed during the Early Cretaceous.The andesites are enriched in light rare earth elements relative to heavy rare earth elements and have weak negative Eu anomalies(δEu=0.76-0.90).The rocks are also enriched in large-ion lithophile elements,such as Rb,Ba,Th,U,and K,and depleted in the high-field-strength elements,such as Nb,Ta,and P.These characteristics are typical of volcanic rocks related to subduction.Igneous zircons from the andesite samples have relatively homogeneous Hf isotope ratios,176Hf/177Hf values of 0.282343-0.282502,εHf(t)values of-12.58 to-6.95,and two-stage model ages(TDM2)of 1743-1431 Ma.The characteristics of the andesites of the Longjiang Formation are consistent with derivation from partial melting of enriched mantle wedge metasomatized by subducted-slab-derived fluids.These rocks formed in an extensional environment associated with the closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean and subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate.Mineralization occurred towards the end of volcanism,and the magmatic activity and mineralization are products of the same geodynamic setting.

Ore-forming mechanism of Xiajinbao gold deposit in Pingquan, Hebei based on fluid inclusions and stable isotopes

The Xiajinbao gold deposit is located in Yong’an-Xiayingfang-Maojiagou polymetallic metallogenic belt,which is animportant metallogenic belt in North China block.In this paper,we present a detailed study on fluid inclusions and stable isotopes ofthe Xiajinbao gold deposit,Hebei Province,China,aiming at discussing the ore source,evolution of ore-forming fluid andore-forming mechanism of the deposit.The macroscopic geological characteristics,S and Pb isotopic analysis results show that thesource of ore-forming materials is mainly from granitic magma,and subordinately from country rocks.H and O isotopic compositionfeatures indicate that the ore-forming fluid is mainly derived from magmatic water.Fluid inclusion characteristics show that theore-forming fluid experienced boiling during the early mineralization stage,which led to the precipitation of gold.Fluid mixingdominated the precipitation of the ore-forming materials during the middle and late stages.The gold precipitation was caused bywater/rock reaction throughout the whole ore-forming process.

Isotope Geochemistry of Gold Ore Deposits in the Gezhen Shear Zone, Qiongxi, Hainan Island

Gold deposits hosted in the Gezhen shear zone at Qingxi, Hainan Island occur in the Precambrian metamorphic rock series and are regionally developed in the N-E direction along the tectonic zone. From northeast to southwest are distributed the Tuwaishan-Baoban gold mining district, the Erjia gold mining district and the Bumo gold mining district, making up the most industrially important gold metallogenesis zone on the Hainan Island. Isotope geochemical studies of the typical gold deposits in this metallogenesis zone indicate that their ore-forming materials stemmed largely from the Baoban Group migmatite series, though the involvement of some plutonic materials could not be ruled out. The ore fluids are the mixture of migmatitized hydrothermal solutions and meteoric waters in addition to the involvement of local magmatic hydrothermal solutions. The superimposition of plutonic materials and magmatic hydrothermal solutions is controlled by the deformation environment of the shear zone and later magmatic activities. Obvious variations are noticed in isotopic composition in the region studied, probably related to tectonic deformation, metamorphism and other evolutionary characteristics. This study is of great significance in understanding the relationship between the shear zone and gold metallogenesis, the rules of gold metallogenesis and gold ore prognosis.

Genetic Type and Metallogenic Mechanism of Bankuan Gold Deposit in Special Reference to the Studies of Fluid Inclusions and Isotopes in Minerals

Auriferous quartz veins in the Bankuan gold deposit occur in the interlayer broken zone of thebasaI conglomerate of the Tietonggou Formation or at the unconfondty between the Tietonggou Formation and the crystalline basement. The composition of fluid inclusions in the minerals indicates thatthe nature and composition of ore-forming hydrothermal solutions show a drashca1 change soon afterthe solutions reached the Tietonggou Formation from the crystailine basement, resulhng in go1d pre -cipitation. So the Bankuan gold deposit can be assigned to the conglomerate strata-bound-type depo-sits. 137 thermometric data are concentrated in the three ranges 400-340℃, 330-220℃ and180-160℃, represenhng three episodes of metallogenesis. Oxygen isotope studies demonstrate theevolution of ore-forming hydrothermal solutions from early metamorphic to late meteoric. Diversity oforoforming materials dominated by deep-source material is supportal by sulphur and lead isotope da-ta. From the above discussions it may be concluded that the deposit formed by metamorphism in-duced as a result of Mesozoic northward intracontinental subduction along the Machaoying fault.

Genesis of the Maoling gold deposit in the Liaodong Peninsula:Constraints from a combined fluid inclusion,C-H-O-S-Pb-He-Ar isotopic and geochronological studies

The large tonnage Maoling gold deposit(25 t@3.2 g/t)is located in the southwest Liaodong Peninsula,North China Craton.The deposit is hosted in the Paleoproterozoic metamorphic rocks.Four stages of mineralization were identified in the deposit:(stageⅠ)quartz-arsenopyrite±pyrite,(stageⅡ)quartz-goldarsenopyrite-pyrrhotite,(stageⅢ)quartz-gold-polymetallic sulfide,and(stageⅣ)quartz-calcitepyrrhotite.In this paper,we present fluid inclusion,C-H-O-S-Pb-He-Ar isotope data,zircon U-Pb,and gold-bearing sulfide(i.e.arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite)Rb-Sr age of the Maoling gold deposit to constrain its genesis and ore-forming mechanism.Three types of fluid inclusions were distinguished in quartzbearing veins,including liquid-rich two-phase(WL type),gas-rich two-phase(GL type),and daughter mineral-bearing fluid inclusions(S type).Fluid inclusions data show that the homogenization at temperatures 197 to 372°C for stageⅠ,126 to 319°C for stageⅡ,119 to 189°C for stageⅢ,and 115 to 183°C for stageⅣ,with corresponding salinities of 3.7 to 22.6 wt.%,4.7 to 23.2 wt.%,5.3 to 23.2 wt.%,and 1.7 to14.9 wt.%Na Cl equiv.,respectively.Fluid boiling was the critical factor controlling the gold and associated sulfide precipitation at Maoling.Hydrogen and oxygen stable isotopic analyses for quartz yielded δ^(18)O=-5.0‰ to 9.8‰ and δD=-133.5‰ to-77.0‰.Carbon stable isotopic analyses for calcite and ankerite yielded δ^(13)C=-2.3‰to-1.2‰ and O=7.9‰ to 14.1‰.The C-H-O isotope data show that the oreforming fluids were originated from magmatic water with meteoric water input during mineralization.Hydrothermal inclusions in arsenopyrite have ^(3)He/^(4)He ratios of 0.002 Ra to 0.054 Ra,and ^(40)Ar/^(36)Ar rations of 1225 to 3930,indicating that the ore-forming fluids were dominantly derived from crustal sources almost no mantle input.Sulfur isotopic values of Maoling fine-grained granite range from6.‰1 to 9.8‰,with a mean of 7.7‰,δ^(34)S values of arsenopyrite from the mineralized phyllite(host rock)range from 8.9‰ to 10.6‰,with a mean of 10.0‰,by contrast,δ^(34)S values of sulfides from ore vary between 4.3‰and 10.6‰,with a mean of 6.8‰,suggesting that sulfur was mainly originated from both the host rock and magma.Lead radioactive isotopic analyses for sulfides yielded^(206)Pb/^(204)Pb=15.830–17.103,^(207)Pb/^(204)Pb=13.397–15.548,^(208)Pb/^(204)Pb=35.478–36.683,and for Maoling fine-grained granite yielded ^(206)Pb/^(204)Pb=18.757–19.053,^(207)Pb/^(204)Pb=15.596–15.612,and ^(208)Pb/^(204)Pb=38.184–39.309,also suggesting that the ore-forming materials were mainly originated from the host rocks and magma.Zircon U-Pb dating demonstrates that the Maoling fine-grained granite was emplaced at 192.7±1.8 Ma,and the host rock(mineralized phyllite)was emplaced at some time after2065.0±27.0 Ma.Arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite give Rb–Sr isochron age of 188.7±4.5 Ma,indicating that both magmatism and mineralization occurred during the Early Jurassic.Geochronological and geochemical data,together with the regional geological history,indicate that Early Jurassic magmatism and mineralization of the Maoling gold deposit occurred during the subducting Paleo-Pacific Plate beneath Eurasia,and the Maoling gold deposit is of the intrusion-related gold deposit type.

Weathered Mantle Hosted Gold Deposit atShewushan, Hubei, Central China

A supergene gold deposit is located at Shewushan, south Hubei, Central China. The Au mass fraction of the supergene deposits ranges from 1.0.10-6 to 19.5 10-6, with an average of about 2.2 10-6. Primary gold mineralization is closely associated with the well developed faults and fractures mainly on the crest of the reverse anticline with gold mass fraction exceeding1.0 X 10-6(average 0.6 X 10-6 ), the gold occurs as small Ag-bearing particles in association with illite and kaolinite, and partly incorporated within the lattice of pyrite. Fluid inclusion studies on the gold mineralization yield trapping temperatures and pressures from 110 to 290 and 410 105 to 460 105 pa, respectively. The salinities of mineralization fluids range from 2. 6 % to 8. 4 % w(NaCl, equivalent). Calculated (18O) values and measured (D) data of the hypogene fluids indicate a meteoric origin. These fluids underwent extreme 18 O enrichment by reacting with country carbonate rock. Supergene gold minerali- zation is confined largely to the lower portion at the weathered mantle; the gold occurs as small native gold particles accompanied by clay minerals, kaolinite and illite and Mn and Fe oxides. Geochemical investigation shows that Au, together with As and Sb, decreases progressively from the top of ore body to some 2 kilometers away and define a lateral dispersion halo. It is proposed that the gold is mobilized by surficial leaching and concentrated at the lower portion of the weathering profile, and thio-sulfate may play an active role in gold dissolution and re-precipitation.

S, C, O, H, and Pb isotopic studies for the Shuiyindong Carlin-type gold deposit, Southwest Guizhou, China: constraints for ore genesis

The Shuiyindong gold deposit is one of the most famous and largest Carlin-type gold deposits in China and is located in southwest Guizhou, in the eastern part of the Huijiabao anticline. The Shuiyindong's gold mineralization occurred in bioclastic limestone of the Permian Longtan Formation. Sulfur, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and lead isotopic compositions are reported in this paper. The properties and sources of ore-forming fluid have been discussed and a metallogenic model for the Shuiyindong gold deposit has been proposed. The d34 S values of stibnite, realgar, orpiment, pyrite from orebodies, and pyrite from quartz veins are similar to or slightly higher than the d34 S values of mantle sulfur. It is suggested that the sulfur of hydrothermal sulfides was likely of magmatic origin with minor heavy sulfur contributed from the country rocks. The measured d D values and calculated d18OH2 O values of inclusion fluid in quartz plotted within or below a magmatic hydrothermal fluid field far from the meteoric water line. This indicates that the ore-forming fluid for the main-stage gold mineralization could have been derived mainly from a magmatic source and mixed with a small amount of meteoric water. The carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of calcites in the d18 O vs. d13 C diagram suggest that the CO2 in ore-forming fluid was derived from dissolution of bioclastic limestone and oxidation of sedimentary organic carbon in limestone. However, the d13 C values of ore-related calcites, which contain intergrown realgar and/or orpiment, are similar to those of mantle carbon. Although no igneous intrusive rock has been observed in the vicinity of the gold deposits, the possibility of mantle fluid integrated into the ore-forming fluid cannot be eliminated based on the d13 C values of ore-related calcites. The lead isotopes of sulfides are distributed near the growth curves of upper crust and orogenic belt in the plumbotectonic diagram. Their calculated Dc and Db values plotted within the magmatism field of crust-mantle subduction zone in the Dc- Db diagram. This suggests that the lead of sulfides has an intimate connection with magmatism. Our S, H, O, C, and Pb isotopic studies for the Shuiyindong Carlin-type gold deposit in Guizhou manifest a concordant possibility that the ore-forming fluid was mainly derived from magmatic fluid with minor contribution from the surrounding strata. With the integration of comprehensive geology and isotopic geochemistry, we have proposed a magmatic hydrothermal model for the origin of the Shuiyindong gold deposit.

GEOCHEMISTRY STUDY OF GOLD SILVER DEPOSITS IN THE MIDDLE UPPER PROTEROZOIC SUBERATHEM IN SOUTHERN QINLING METALLOGENETIC ZONE

According to Ihe combinations of mctallogcnetic elements and minerals assemblages,the Au-Ag deposits in the Middle-Upper Proterozoic Suberathcm of the middle of northern margin of Yangtze Platform could be classified into four types,(l)Au-Ag-Pb-Zn type,(2)Au-Ag-Te type,(3)Au-quartz vein type,(4)Au-Ag-Pb-Zn-Ba type.The Yangpin formation and the upper Dangyuhe subformation,which belong to Wudangshan group,are regarded as favorable strata for Au-Ag mineralization by systematic assessments for Au-Ag bearing ability of the strata,as well as the felsic rocks of Bikou group.The mctallogcnetic physicochemical conditions and the stable isotopic compositions(S.Pb,H.O,C)have been studied in this paper.The sources of metallogenetic materials,origins of fluids and genesis of various deposits have also been studied.

Controls on lode gold mineralization,Romite deposit,South Eastern Desert,Egypt

Field and remote sensing studies reveal that Au-bearing quartz carbonate lodes in Romite deposit, in the extreme South Eastern Desert of Egypt, are controlled by NNE-striking shear zones that splay from the ca. 660--550 Ma Hamisana Zone. Quartz in releasing bends with sinistral shear geometry and abundant boudinaged quartz-carbonate lodes with serrate ribboned fabrics suggest vein formation throughout a transpressive wrench system. Ubiquitous hydrothermal quartz, carbonate, and subordinate chlorite and sericite within the shear zones and as slivers in veins, indicate that gold deposition and hydro- thermal alteration occurred under greenschist facies conditions. The AI （IV） in chlorite indicates a forma- tion temperature of - 300 ℃, comparable with temperatures estimated from arsenopyrite composition for grains intimately associated with gold in quartz veins. The new geological and geochemical data indicate that splays off the Hamisana Zone are potential gold exploration targets. Quartz veins along the high order （2nd or 3rd） structures of this crustal-scale shear zone are favorable targets. In the Romite deposit and in surrounding areas, a Au-As-Cu-Sb-Co-Zn geochemical signature characterizes mineralized zones, and particularly rock chips with 〉 1000 ppm As and high contents of Cu, Zn, and Co target the better mineralized areas. The carbonate δ13CpDB and δ18OsMow isotope signatures preclude an organic source of the ore fluid, but metamorphic and magmatic sources are still valid candidates. The intense deformation and lack of mag- matism in the deposit area argue for metamorphic dewatering of greenstone rocks as the most likely fluid source. The narrow ranges of δ13C （-4.6‰ to -3.1‰） and 6180 （11.9‰- 13.7‰） in carbonate minerals in lodes imply a corresponding uniformity to the ambient temperature and δ13CCO2 （δ13C∑C） of the ore fluids.The calculated δ18OH2O values of 6‰-7.9‰for ore fluids, based on 6180 values of vein quartz further suggest a likely metamorphic origin.

Chemical and stable isotopic geochemical characteristics of ore-forming fluid of the Shizishan copper and gold ore-field,Tongling,China

Shizishan ore-field is a nonferrous and noble metal ore-field which is most rich in copper and gold.There are many types of fluid inclusions in minerals of the deposits.The homogeneous temperatures and the salinities of the fluid inclusions in main mineralization stages have wide ranges,while the different types of the fluid inclusions existed together and their homogeneous temperatures are almost identical in the same mineralization stage,which indicates that the ore-forming process has great relation with the fluid boiling.The gas and liquid chemical compositions and the carbon,hydrogen and oxygen isotopic compositions of the fluid inclusions show that the ore-forming fluids of copper-gold deposits have the same characteristics and evolution tendency,which reflects that the ore-forming material mainly came from the magmatism.The stratigraphic component and the meteoric water may mix in ore- forming fluids in the later mineralization stages.Furthermore,with the fall of the ore-forming temperature the ratios of water and rock decreased.The characteristics of chemical composition and carbon isotopic composition of fluid inclusions indicate that CH4 may play an important role for separating copper and gold in the ore-forming process.

The petrographical and isotope geochemical tracers for deep ore-forming fluids from the Laowangzhai gold depoist in the northern part of the Ailao Mountains

Based on the petrological studies of wall rocks, mineralized rocks, ores and veins from the Laowangzhai gold deposit, it is discovered that with the development of silification, carbonation and sulfidation, a kind of black opaque ultracrystalline material runs through the space between grains and amphibole cleavages, which is the product of fast condensing consolidation with magma mantle fluids turning into hydrothermal crustal fluids in the process of mineralization and alteration. It is thought that the water in ore-forming fluids mainly derived from magmatic water through research on H-O isotopes, and C as well as S isotopic compositions, has clear mantle-derived characteristics, and rock (mine) stones contain high 87Sr/86 Sr ratios, low 143Nd/144 Nd ratios and high 206Pb/204 Pb ratios, which also reflects the ore-forming fluids were derived from the metasomatically enriched mantle. In combination with the features of H-O-C-S isotopes and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes described above, the ore-forming fluids of the Laowangzhai gold deposit in the northern part of the Ailao Mountains were derived mainly from the deep interior of the mantle, and their properties were transformed from magma fluids to hydrothermal fluids in the course of metasomatism and alteration, which initiated crust-mantle contamination simultaneously to be in favor of mineralization.

Geological and geochemical characteristics of the Baogudi Carlintype gold district(Southwest Guizhou, China) and their geological implications

The newly discovered Baogudi gold district is located in the southwestern Guizhou Province,China,where there are numerous Carlin-type gold deposits.To better understand the geological and geochemical characteristics of the Baogudi gold district,we carried out petrographic observations,elemental analyses,and fluid inclusion and isotopic composition studies.We also compared the results with those of typical Carlin-type gold deposits in southwestern Guizhou.Three mineralization stages,namely,the sedimentation diagenesis,hydrothermal(main-ore and late-ore substages),and supergene stages,were identified based on field and petrographic observations.The main-ore and late-ore stages correspond to Au and Sb mineralization,respectively,which are similar to typical Carlin-type mineralization.The mass transfer associated with alteration and mineralization shows that a significant amount of Au,As,Sb,Hg,Tl,Mo,and S were added to mineralized rocks during the main-ore stage.Remarkably,arsenic,Sb,and S were added to the mineralized rocks during the late-ore stage.Element migration indicates that the sulfidation process was responsible for ore formation.Four types of fluid inclusions were identified in ore-related quartz and fluorite.The main-ore stage fluids are characterized by an H2O–NaCl–CO2–CH4±N2system,with medium to low temperatures(180–260℃)and low salinity(0–9.08%NaCl equivalent).The late-ore stage fluids featured H2O–NaCl±CO2±CH4,with low temperature(120–200℃)and low salinity(0–7.48%Na Cl equivalent).The temperature,salinity,and CO2and CH4concentrations of ore-forming fluids decreased from the main-ore stage to the late-ore stage.The calculated δ^13C,d D,and δ^18O values of the ore-forming fluids range from-14.3 to-7.0%,-76 to-55.7%,and 4.5–15.0%,respectively.Late-ore-stage stibnite had δ^34S values ranging from-0.6 to 1.9%.These stable isotopic compositions indicate that the ore-forming fluids originated mainly from deep magmatic hydrothermal fluids,with minor contributions from strata.Collectively,the Baogudi metallogenic district has geological and geochemical characteristics that are typical of Carlin-type gold deposits in southwest Guizhou.It is likely that the Baogudi gold district,together with other Carlin-type gold deposits in southwestern Guizhou,was formed in response to a single widespread metallogenic event.
