Geochronology and origin of the Qi189 porphyry gold deposit in Qiyugou Orefield, Qinling Orogen, China

The Qi189 gold deposit is a recently discovered porphyry system in the Qiyugou Orefield, located in the northeastern Qinling Orogen along the southern margin of North China Craton. The orebodies are hosted in the porphyritic granite emplaced in the Taihua Supergroup. Three molybdenite and five pyrite samples from the ores yield Re–Os isochron ages of 129.5 ± 2.8 Ma and 127.5 ± 8.2 Ma, respectively, which are coincident with the zircon U–Pb age...
