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 …

Mineralization age dating is essential for understanding orogenic-type gold metallogeny, but
suitable minerals for dating are not always available. Apatite can incorporate considerable …

The diverse suite of trace elements incorporated into apatite in ore-forming systems has
important applications in petrogenesis studies of mineral deposits. Trace element variations …

Machine learning provides solutions to a diverse range of problems in high-dimensional
datasets in geosciences. However, machine learning is generally criticized for being an …

Abstract The Xiahuolong gold deposit (3.05 t Au, average grade: 6.7 g/t), located in the Ji'an
district of southern Jilin Province in the northeastern portion of the North China Craton …

Jurassic-Cretaceous magmatic rocks are widely distributed in the Jiaodong area, North
China. These magmatic rocks are closely associated with gold deposits, but their …

Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has undergone
major improvements in recent years which have led to reduction of the analysis time, higher …

Apatite can act as a sensitive recorder for reflecting the composition of the host magma at
the time of its crystallization. In this paper, we report apatite geochemical and in-situ Nd …

Quartz cathodoluminescence (CL) images are commonly combined with trace element
concentrations to decipher complex histories of hydrothermal systems. However, the …

Hydrothermal alteration is crucial in the formation of many ore deposits, with potassium (K)
mobilization and cycling being prevalent. Potassic metasomatism of wall rocks generally …
