Trace element contents and in situ sulfur isotope analyses of pyrite in the Baiyun gold deposit, NE China: Implication for the genesis of intrusion-related gold deposits

Trace elements distribution in minerals and formation mechanism of visible gold are poorly understood in intrusion-related gold systems. Here, we choose the Baiyun gold deposit, which is hosted within the Paleoproterozoic metamorphic rocks in the Liaodong Peninsula, NE North China Craton (NCC), as a case study, to address these issues. The ore deposit geology characteristics and paragenesis are described in details; In situ geochemical and...
