Abstract:

The Chaihulanzi gold deposit is located at the intersection of NNE-trending tectonic belt in the Great Hinggan Range and the EW-trending tectonic belt in the northern margin of North China Block. The Chaihulanzi, Lianhuashan, and Honghuagou gold deposits in the area have undergone multistage tectono-magmatic activity. Results of aeromagnetic and remote sensing data interpretation show four tectonic trending features (NNW, NWW, NNE and NEE) in the orefield, which constitute the double-cross-shaped structural pattern that controlled the emplacement of Late Paleozoic magmatic rocks (dikes) and gold mineralization. At Chaihulanzi, structural features of these four directions also form a double-cross-shaped pattern, which controlled the distribution of orebodies (mineralized zones) and geochemical anomaly zones. Both the orefield and ore-deposit tectonic features show the double-cross-shaped distribution characteristics, which demonstrate the magmatic and mineralization controled by different levels of the Neo-cathaysian tectonic system. Our findings provide an important foundation for studying metallogenesis and mineral prediction in the orefields.

Key words: Chaihulanzi gold ore field, tectonic system, double-cross-shaped structure, geomechanics, structure control of rocks and ores
