Abstract:Located in Lingshou County, Hebei Province, the Tuling-Shihu gold district lies at the exocontact zone between the Yanshanian granodiorite and metamorphic rocks of the Archean Fuping Group. Sulfur isotope composition of pyrite from gold veins suggests that the ore-forming. solation of gold was consanguineous with the granodiorite magma. Pyrite in gold veins is depleted in sulfur. From gold ore veins to altered wall rocks, Co, Ni, Se, Co/Ni and S/Se of pyrite increase whereas An, Ag, As, and Au/Ag decrease. The contents of these elements in pyrite and related parameters are good indicators for grold grades of ore veins and sampling locations of pyrite and also functions of oreforming temperatures.
