Genesis and evolution of the Leimengou porphyry Mo deposit in West Henan Province, East Qinling–Dabie belt, China: Constraints from hydrothermal alteration, fluid inclusions and stable isotope data

The Leimengou Mo deposit is located in the East Qinling–Dabie metallogenic Mo belt, located at the southern margin of the North China Craton. The deposit is hosted within the Mesozoic Leimengou granite porphyry pluton and at the contact between the granite and Late Archean gneisses. In light of mineral assemblage and crosscutting relationships among veinlets, the mineralization and alteration can be classified in four distinct stages: (1) a...
