The Huangtulian gold deposit, with 10.7 tons of gold reserves at shallow levels (<150 m in depth), is situated in the Zhaojiagou-Erbaozi secondary brittle-ductile shear zone along the northern margin of the North China craton. The dominant structure in the Huangtuliang gold deposit is a steeply north-dipping, brittle-ductile shear zone south of the ore zone. Hellium and argon, sulfur and oxygen isotope studies suggest that mantle fluids were involved in the mineralization. Detailed studies of ore field structures and engineering data suggest that the Huangtuliang gold deposits has potential for a major to world-class gold resource.
