The Ailaoshan orogenic belt is a globally important tectonic belt and one of the most important polymetallic metallogenic belts in southwestern China. Located between the Yangtze and Simao blocks, it includes the Paleo-Tethys Ailaoshan suture zone to the west and the Cenozoic Ailaoshan large-scale shear zone to the east. The Ailaoshan orogenic belt has undergone successive Late Proterozoic oceanic crust subduction, Paleozoic-Mesozoic Paleo-Tethys oceanic crust subduction and block accretion, and Cenozoic continental oblique collision and strike-slip, resulting in large-scale shearing and metamorphism. The Ailaoshan large-scale shear zone includes the Honghe Fault, the Ailaoshan Fault, and the Jiujia Anding Fault. The fault is over 100 km long and approximately 1–3 km wide, trending northwest and dipping northeast. The Ailaoshan Fault divides the Ailaoshan metamorphic zone into two parts: the Early Proterozoic Ailaoshan Group high-grade metamorphic zone between the Ailaoshan Fault and the Honghe Fault (metamorphic grade higher than greenschist facies but lower than plagioclase amphibolite facies, with a small amount higher than plagioclase amphibolite facies), whose lithology mainly includes gneiss, plagioclase amphibolite, garnet-mica schist, and diopside marble. Multiple phases of granitic intrusions are widely distributed in the Ailaoshan Group. Both metamorphic rocks and granites underwent intense plastic shear deformation. The low-grade metamorphic zone (greenschist facies metamorphic grade) between the Ailaoshan Fault and the Jiujia Anding Fault contains strongly deformed low-grade greenschist facies metamorphic rocks (sericite slate, metamorphic sandstone or metamorphic mudstone) of the Paleozoic Madang Formation, as well as Triassic phyllite, phyllite-mylonite, schist, slate, metamorphic sandstone, and ophiolite components such as basic and ultrabasic rocks. The Cenozoic Indo-Eurasian oblique collision led to large-scale crust-mantle interaction, magmatic activity, tectonic shearing, and topographic uplift in the Ailaoshan orogenic belt, providing a metallogenic background for orogenic gold deposits. The Ailaoshan orogenic belt contains large orogenic gold deposits from north to south: Zhenyuan, Jinchang, Daping, and Chang'an gold deposits. All deposits occur within the low-grade metamorphic zone between the Ailaoshan Fault and the Jiujia Anding Fault. The Zhenyuan and Jinchang gold mines are located within the Ailaoshan ophiolite mélange belt, while the Daping and Chang'an gold mines are situated in diorite bodies and weakly metamorphosed Paleozoic strata.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Phanerozoic : 259.0 ± 3.5 Ma to 28.0 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
