Pangea is the youngest supercontinent in Earth's history and its main body formed by
assembly of Gondwana and Laurasia about 300–250 Ma ago. As supported by voluminous …

Abstract The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is the largest accretionary orogen in the
world, which is responsible for considerable Phanerozoic juvenile crustal growth. The NE …

Abstract The Tianshan and Junggar orogenic collage occupies the southwestern part of the
Central Asian Orogenic Belt and was assembled by collision/accretion of several continental …

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 …

The microcontinental blocks in the CAOB include the combined NE China blocks
(comprising the Erguna, Xing'an, Songliao and Jimusi-Khanka blocks) in the eastern …

Continental China is a mosaic of numerous tectonic blocks, which amalgamated from

China produces about 450 t Au per year and has government stated in-ground reserves of
approximately 12,000 t Au. Orogenic gold, or gold deposits in metamorphic rocks, and …

Abstract In the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), whether substantial juvenile additions
associated with accretionary orogenesis are preserved is still a pending issue. The Yili Block …

Asia is key to a richer understanding of many important lithospheric processes such as
crustal growth, continental evolution and orogenesis. But to properly decipher the secrets …

Abstract Continental reconstructions in Central Asia are represented by orogenesis along
some large orogenic belts in the Altaid collage (Fig. 1) or Central Asian Orogenic Belt …
