Application of the AMT Method to Gold Deposits: A Case Study in the Qinling Metallogenic Belt of North China Craton

The Lushi gold polymetallic ore-concentration area, located in the southern margin of North China Craton, is an important polymetallic ore district in the Qinling metallogenic belt. The Jianbeigou gold deposit is an important quartz vein type gold deposit in this district. In order to reveal the geo...
