Hougou Mine, Xiaozhangjiakou gold field, Chicheng Co., Zhangjiakou Prefecture, Hebei Province, China
Latitude: 40°54'0"N
Longitude: 115°36'40"E
Longitude: 115°36'40"E
Alkaline complex-hosted gold deposit, occurring in the inner contact zone of an alkaline syenite that is overprinted by faults and fractures. The deposit is irregular and is concordant to the strike of the contact zone and the faults. Four deposition stages occur: (1) molybdenite-quartz, (2) quartz-pyrite, (3) base metallic sulphide, and (4) carbonate. Alteration includes epidote, chlorite, sericite, pyrite, and carbonate alterations. The gold deposition is interpreted as related to the shearing of the Archean Wulashan Group of metamorphic rocks. The deposit probably formed at about 80+/-5.6 Ma(?), based on the dating of sericite alteration.
