Abstract

The Saidu gold deposit is located in the northwest part of Ertix Tectonic Zone in Xinjiang. The ore bodies occur in altered mylonite zones within the Mar-kakol giant fault zone and are controlled by the ductile shear zone. The structural-metallogenic fluids of the early stage are characterized by mesothermal-hydrothermal CO2-N2-rich fluids, with homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions being 252~408°C. The tectonic-metallogenic fluids at the middle stage are characterized by CO2-H2O fluids, with homogenization temperatures being 203~326°C. The fluids at the late stage were epithermal-mesothermal low salinity aqueous solutions, with homogenization temperatures being 120~221°C. The main gold mineralization was related to the post-orogenic extension environment, with the evolution characteristics corresponding to the evolution of shear zones.
