Gaosongshan is a quartz–adularia–sericite type epithermal gold deposit developed in the continental setting in China.
The boiling of ore-forming fluids with a meteoric source and gaseous phases is the main mechanism of gold precipitation.
Pyrite associated with gold mineralization is partly derived from the lithospheric mantle and lower crust.
The gold metallogenic belt in the Lesser Xinggan Range is associated with the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate.
The epithermal gold metallogenic belt in the LXR was firstly proposed by us and is now proving to have significant potential.
