The Jinchang gold deposit is located in the eastern Yanji–Dongning Metallogenic Belt in Northeast China. The orebodies of the deposit are hosted within granite, diorite, and granodiorite, and are associated with gold-mineralized breccia pipes, disseminated gold in ores, and fault-controlled gold-bearing veins. Three paragenetic stages were identified: (1) early quartz–pyrite–arsenopyrite (stage 1); (2) quartz–pyrite–chalcopyrite (stage 2); and (3) late quartz–pyrite–galena–sphalerite (stage 3). Gold is hosted predominantly within pyrite. Pyrite separated from quartz–pyrite–arsenopyrite cement within the breccia-hosted ores (Py1) yield a Re–Os isochron age of 102.9 ± 2.7 Ma (MSWD = 0.17). Pyrite crystals from the quartz–pyrite–chalcopyrite veinlets (Py2) yield a Re–Os isochron age of 102.0 ± 3.4 Ma (MSWD = 0.2). Pyrite separated from quartz–pyrite–galena–sphalerite veins (Py3) yield a Re–Os isochron age of 100.9 ± 3.1 Ma (MSWD = 0.019). Re–Os isotopic analyses of the three types of auriferous pyrite suggest that gold mineralization in the Jinchang Deposit occurred at 105.6–97.8 Ma (includes uncertainty). The initial 187Os/188Os values of the pyrites range between 0.04 and 0.60, suggesting that Os in the pyrite crystals was derived from both crust and mantle sources.

A high-resolution electromagnetic study has helped to define the mineralization and alteration system of the Cretaceous volcano-sedimentary hosted epithermal gold (Au) deposit in Tuoniuhe, northeast China. Audio-magnetotelluric (AMT) array data were acquired to map the regional resistivity structure of the Mesozoic volcanic field, whereas an AMT profile and a ground magnetic survey line with denser site spacing were deployed across the deposit to image the alteration and mineralization system. The electrical resistivity model from 2D inversion of the AMT profile data reveals a low-resistivity (approximately [Formula: see text]) cover from the surface to a depth of 0.1 km, which is likely caused by clay and sulfide minerals in the subaerial alteration zone. The magnetic survey and a geologic borehole log assisted in outlining a zone of tonalite and andesite with silicification in the depth interval of 0.1–0.3 km, featuring high resistivity ([Formula: see text]) and high magnetization ([Formula: see text]). This zone is a potential gold target bounded by two channels of moderate resistivity (approximately [Formula: see text]) to its northwest and southeast. The two channels possibly coincide with breccia pipes with fractured stockworks and high permeability to allow gold-bearing fluids to move toward the surface. The 2D and 3D resistivity models reveal regions of low resistivity ([Formula: see text]) at the depth range of 0.5–1.0 km beneath the Cretaceous calderas and the deposit, which might be related to magmatic cryptoexplosion breccia. In the 2D resistivity model, this magmatic cryptoexplosion breccia zone connects to the subaerial alteration zone through the two breccia pipes, indicative of a circulation system of gold-bearing fluids. Given the coincidence of Cretaceous volcanism and the age of mineralization, the Cretaceous magma is inferred to have supplied heat that drove the convective hydrothermal activity and also was a source of magmatic fluids that led to the development of the Tuoniuhe epithermal gold deposit.
