“…Late Mesozoic granitic batholiths and stocks are widespread in the Xiong'ershan–Waifangshan area. For instance, the Wuzhangshan batholith (157 Ma; Mao et al, ), Huashan granite batholith (142.2–131.0 Ma; Li, ; Mao et al, ), and Heyu granite batholith (150–133 Ma; Zhou, ; Gao, Zhang, et al, ; Li et al, ; Zhu, Chen, Liu, & Siebel, ; Bao et al, ) intruded into the Precambrian Taihua and Xiong'er groups and are interpreted as the products of Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous large‐scale extension or lithospheric thinning of the North China Craton (Mao et al, , ; Mao et al, ; Tian et al, ; Zhang et al, ). The regional Mo–W, Pb–Zn–Ag, and Au mineralization are spatio‐temporal related with granitic intrusions and are associated with the Early Cretaceous tectono‐magmatic event (Deng, Chen, et al, ; Mao et al, ).…”
