Geochronology and geochemistry of the Shanagen hydrothermal vein-type Mo deposit in Derbugan metallogenic belt of the NE China and their geological significance

“…The Delbugan metallogenic belt is located in the eastern part of the Central Asian orogenic belt, and its mineralization is closely related to the widespread Mesozoic magmatic activity (Ge et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2010;Wu et al, 2014;Niu et al, 2016;Hui et al, 2021). The geochronological data of some metal deposits in the Derbugan metallogenic belt are listed in Table 4.…”

“…According to the metallogenic epoch, age of intrusive rocks, and geochemical characteristics of intrusive rocks, the Debugan metallogenic belt can be divided into two series, one is Cu, Mo and Au deposits related to intermediate-acid intrusive rocks in the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic, the other is Pb-Zn-Ag polymetallic deposits related to intermediate-acid volcanic and intrusive activity in the Early Cretaceous (Zhang et al, 2010;Wu et al, 2014). The former are mainly porphyry Cu-Mo deposits and skarn Cu-Mo (Au) deposits (Wu et al, 2014;Zhang L. C. et al, 2014;Wang Y. H. et al, 2015;Gao et al, 2016), while the latter are mainly hydrothermal vein-type Pb-Zn-Ag polymetallic deposits (Niu et al, 2017;Wang J. X. et al, 2019;Xu et al, 2020;Hui et al, 2021). Porphyry Cu-Mo deposits are mainly distributed in the middle and north of the Derbugan metallogenic belt.…”

“…Hydrothermal vein type deposits are mainly distributed in the middle and south of the Debugan metallogenic belt. Predecessors have conducted in-depth research on typical deposits such as Jiawula, Erentaolegai, Halaseng and Dongjun (Li C. F. et al, 2014;Xu et al, 2014;Yang et al, 2015;Wang J. F. et al, 2019;Hui et al, 2021). The distribution of ore bodies in these deposits is controlled by NW trending faults.…”

“…The Derbugan metallogenic belt is one of the most important Cu-Mo-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au metallogenic belts in north China, bordering Mongol to the west and Russia to the north (Figure 1A; Zhu et al, 2001;Chen et al, 2006;Yang et al, 2009;Zhang L. C. et al, 2014). There have been discovered numerous porphyry Cu-Mo deposits (e.g., Wunugetushan, Taipingchuan, and Badaguan) and hydrothermal vein-type Pb-Zn-Ag deposits discovered (e.g., Jiawula et al, 2011;Zhao et al, 2017;Hui et al, 2021).…”

“…2020). Furthermore, those Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization and Cu-Mo mineralization belong to a porphyry metallogenic system (Li et al, 2016;Hui et al, 2021). Moreover, some hydrothermal vein-type Pb-Zn-Ag deposits in central part of the Derbugan metallogenic belt were formed in a back-arc extension related to subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate (Liang et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2020).…”
