Southwestern Guizhou, Zhenfeng, China
Other hydrothermalAu
- Type
- Sediment-hosted Carlin-type gold
The largest Carlin-type gold deposit of southwestern China (over 263 t Au). Lithium and oxygen in quartz-hosted fluid inclusions show a mainly magmatic initial fluid (stage I), mixing with meteoric water that triggered deposition of gold-bearing sulfides (stage II), then a final fluid dominated by meteoric water (stage III).
