Multistage exhumation of the Anjiayingzi gold deposit, northern North China Block: Geodynamic settings and exploration implications

Post-mineralisation exhumation is pivotal because of its strong effects on the preservation of ore deposit. The Jiguanzi quartz monzonite hosts the Anjiayingzi Au deposit at the centre of the Kalaqin Antiform (or Kalaqin metamorphic core complex) in the northern North China Block (NCB). We can link the exhumation of the deposit with regionally geodynamic events and evaluate its exploration implications using low-temperature thermochronology from...
