Zircon U–Pb Ages and Geochemistry of Granitoid in the Yuejinshan Copper–Gold Deposit, NE China: Constraints on Petrogenesis and Metallogenesis

Yuejinshan copper–gold orebodies form a hydrothermal deposit located southwest of the Wandashan massif in the western Pacific oceanic tectonic regime. The orebodies are veins and lenses in granite porphyry and skarn or contact zones between these rocks. Early Cretaceous Yuejinshan magmatism provides...
