Figure 1. — (a) Eastern Asia cratons showing Precambrian blocks (Stanovoy, Khingan-Bureya, North China, Yangtze, Cathaysia) and Phanerozoic orogenic gold provinces at their edges (modified from ref. [4]). (b) Tectonic framework of the eastern Indo-Asian collisional zone (modified from ref. [37]), bounded by Cenozoic faults with ages labeled (ALF: Ailaoshan fault; GLGF: Gaoligong fault; LMT: Longenshan thrust fault; SGF: Sagaing fault; RRF: Red-River fault; XJF: Xiaojiang fault; YMF: Yuanyuan-Muliou fault). Four large orogenic gold deposits (e.g. Zhenyuan, Jinchang, Chang’an and Daping) and the associated Cenozoic igneous rocks along the RRF are shown. A world-class porphyry gold deposit at Beiya and a gold prospect along the Dadu River are shown for comparison.
