Abstract

The Jiaodong gold province, one of the main gold-producing areas in China, includes disseminated stockwork Jiaojia-type and auriferous quartz vein Linglong-type gold deposits. In this chapter, two types of typical gold deposits, such as Linglong and Jiaojia gold deposits, were carried out to conduct comparative studies aim to reveal genesis of Jiaodong-type gold deposit. Pyrites, the main gold-bearing mineral, has been analyzed by using micro-geochemistry. Micro-geochemistry of gold grains was also analyzed. These works aim to the source of ore-forming fluids and materials.
