Quartz vein type gold deposit, related to the Mesozoic Yanshanian Linglong granite that intrudes rocks of the Archean Jiaodong Group. Over two hundred veins are exposed to the surface in the Dongshan and Xishan mines, among which roughly 30 veins have economic values. The veins are typically 500-2000 m long and 2-15 m wide, and are controlled by secondary fractures of the Zhaoping fracture zone. Disseminated and stockwork-style mineralizations are common within the alteration halos of the faults. The deposit formed at temperatures from 150Β°C to 400Β°C and at pressures from 50 MPa to 100 MPa.

A deep NNE-trending fault subdivides the deposit area in an eastern part and a western part, which are worked by the Dongshan and Xishan mines, respectively. Both mines are subdivided into several ore blocks. West of the fault, the veins generally trend in NE directions, while those east of the fault trend ENE or almost east-west.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Early/Lower Cretaceous : 123 Β± 4.2 Ma to 122 Β± 11 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
