In order to study the lithospheric structure and survey deep resources perspective of the Great Xing'an Range area, a magnetotelluric sounding profile across the central Great Xing'an Range has been completed. The profile starts from the eastern margin of the Hailaer basin, through the Great Xing'an Range to the western margin of the Songliao basin. An electrical structure model of the crust and the upper mantle was finally obtained after data processing, qualitative analysis and 2D inversion of the observed data. The electrical structure can be divided into three tectonic units: the Hailaer basin, the Great Xing'an Range and the Songliao Basin, which is consistent with the regional geology. The research shows that: (1) The high resistivity in the upper crust of the Great Xing'an Range may represent spatially multiple overlapping volcanic rocks, in addition, the low resistivity bodies in the middle-lower crust may reflect hot and weak materials; (2) The lower crust of the Great Xing'an Range may have experienced delamination; (3) There is a lithospheric scale of west-dipping structural transfer zone between the Great Xing'an Range and the Songliao Basin, inferring that the Songnen Terrane firstly subducted to the Xing'an Terrane, then sutured in the form of soft collision, and finally modified by volcanic activities later.

Evidence for the Superposition of Tectonic Systems in the Northern Songliao Block, NE China, Revealed by a 3-D Electrical Resistivity Model

Tianqi Wang, Guoqing Ma, Matthew J. Comeau, Michael Becken, Zikun Zhou, Wenyu Liu, Jianqiang Kang, Jiangtao Han

Summary: The creation and evolution of the Songliao Block in Northeast China is believed to be related to the closure of multiple oceans and subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Ocean. A three-dimensional electrical resistivity model generated from magnetotelluric data reveals a heterogeneous lithosphere with low-resistivity zones and fault systems correlated with upper-crustal features. The presence of partial melts and asthenospheric upwelling suggests weak tectonic zones throughout the lithosphere, likely influenced by the collision and convergence of blocks caused by ocean closure and subduction.

Deep Electrical Structure of the Qilian Orogenic Belt with Dynamic Implications for the Northeastern Margin of the Tibetan Plateau: Revealed by 3D Magnetotelluric Inversion Using Unstructured Tetrahedral Elements

Jianqiang Kang, Jiangtao Han, Rui Gao, Zhonghua Xin, Lijia Liu, Fanwen Meng

Summary: In this study, a magnetotelluric (MT) array was used to investigate the uplift mechanism of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. The results revealed high-resistivity bodies in the lithospheric mantle, indicating the trace of southward subduction of the Asian lithosphere. Partially molten bodies with low resistivity were found in the middle and lower crust, possibly due to tectonic heat. These low-resistivity bodies decouple the upper crust from the middle-lower crust, and the movement of the decoupled middle-lower crust drives the uplift of the Qilian orogenic belt.

Joint passive seismic imaging based on surface wave inversion and reflection wavefield retrieval: A case study in the sedimentary basin areas adjacent to Well Songke-2

Zhong-Yuan Jin, He-Sheng Hou, Wei Fu, Pan Zhang, Dong-Zhao An, Yong Hu

Summary: Due to their cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and high efficiency, passive seismic methods are widely used in geophysical exploration. However, field passive seismic data suffer from low signal-to-noise ratio and the mixing of different types of seismic waves, which can affect the accuracy of subsurface imaging and geological interpretation. This study demonstrates that these problems can be addressed through a detailed practical scheme and presents a case study on passive seismic detection in sedimentary basin areas. The results show that the combination use of surface wave and body wave in passive seismic data contributes to detailed and accurate subsurface imaging and interpretation.

The Magma Emplacement of a Composite Volcanic-Intrusive System and Its Mineralization

Yihao Wu, Jiangtao Han, Guoqing Ma, Yunhe Liu, Fuxing Han, Lijia Liu, Lei Guo, Ye Guan, Yinghui Zhang

Summary: This study establishes a 3-D multiple geophysical model in the Shuangjianzishan Ag-Pb-Zn district, northeastern China, to describe the distribution of mineralized rocks and the detailed structure and connection of volcanism and intrusion. Based on the results, a composite metallogenic model is proposed, suggesting that volcanism caused ore-bearing magma to migrate to the base of the deposit through a deep fault system and formed an intrusive complex below the deposit, resulting in the formation of complex and fault-controlled ore bodies. The results demonstrate the importance of the magma emplacement pattern for the formation of super-large deposits.

Electrical Response of a Reactivated Ancient Suture Revealed by Three-Dimensional Magnetotelluric Inversion Across the Jinsha River Suture, Northern Tibetan Plateau

Jianqiang Kang, Jiangtao Han, Rui Gao, Lijia Liu, Zhonghua Xin, Fanwen Meng, Zhenyu Guo, Tianqi Wang

Summary: This study reveals the presence of large-scale conductive anomalies and a rheological channel beneath the Jinsha River suture in the northern Tibetan Plateau. The convergence of the Indian and Asian plates may be the driving mechanism for the reactivation of this suture, resulting in enhanced convection in the mantle and subsequent melting of the crust. These findings provide valuable insights into the geodynamic evolution of the northern Tibetan Plateau and contribute to our understanding of continental convergence processes.

A review of the geological characteristics and spatiotemporal distribution of copper-gold deposits in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, Xinjiang, Northwest China

Fuquan Yang, Xinxia Geng, Zhixin Zhang, Guoren Liu, Hanqing Zhang

Summary: Northern Xinjiang in China is an important part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, characterized by multiple episodes and types of mineralization. Cu and Au deposits are mostly found in Altay, Junggar, and Tianshan, with minor occurrences in Beishan. The most common types of Cu-Au deposits are volcanogenic and porphyry deposits. The formation of Cu-Au deposits can be divided into five mineralization episodes, with the Devonian and Carboniferous being the main periods. These deposits developed in various tectonic settings, including island arc, continental arc, collision, and postcollisional extensional tectonics.

Early Cretaceous magmatic-hydrothermal processes for the lode Yingdongpo gold and Poshan silver deposits in the Tongbai Orogen, central China

Jiang Zhu, Dan-yang Liu, Chao Chen, Song Chen, Yuan-bing Zou, Leonid Danyushevsky, Jing-meng Huang, Xiang-wei Tang

Summary: Numerous lode gold and silver deposits have been discovered in orogenic belts in China. This study focuses on the formation and fluid evolutions of the super-large Yingdongpo gold and giant Poshan silver deposits in the Tongbai-Dabie orogen. The results suggest that both deposits were formed concurrently with Early Cretaceous granitic magmatism and the ore-forming fluids were primarily of magmatic origin with meteoric water inputting. The gold mineralization is related to a change in the physicochemical properties of the fluids, while the silver mineralization is favored by progressive deposition of sulfides in a slowly cooling hydrothermal system.

Soft sediment deformation structures from the Brahmaputra Basin: A window to the eastern Himalayan paleoseismicity and tectonics

Arun Bhadran, B. P. Duarah, Drishya Girishbai, Mohammad Atif Raza, Avi Mero, Sandeep Lahon, A. L. Achu, Girish Gopinath

Summary: The Brahmaputra foreland basin, known for its dynamic tectonism and sediment load, exhibits a variety of seismically generated soft sediment deformation structures (SSDS) such as clastic dikes, sand sills, and micro-faults. These structures, influenced by multiple strong seismic events, are characterized by their dimensions, intrusion angles, cross-cutting relations, wall shattering, and age. The study suggests that a significant earthquake with high intensity and magnitude might have caused liquefaction features in the area. The findings highlight the importance of studying SSDS in tectonically active regions with limited surface ruptures and dense alluvial cover.

Paleo-Pacific Plate rollback triggered Early Cretaceous intermediate-felsic magmatism in the northern North China Craton

Xuli Yang, Feng Huang, Jifeng Xu, Xijun Liu, Liying Zhang, Zhao Zhang, Benyan Xu, Man Zhang, Yunchuan Zeng, Qian Liu, Mingda Lv

Summary: The extensively developed Early Cretaceous intermediate-felsic rocks in the northern North China Craton provide valuable insights into the nature of Paleo-Pacific subduction and associated geodynamic processes. Geochemical and geochronological analyses of trachyandesites and rhyolites from the eastern Hebei, northern NCC suggest that the trachyandesites likely originated from enriched mafic lower crust and the rhyolites are derived from the trachyandesitic magmas through fractional crystallization. The migration direction change of these rocks is believed to be primarily attributed to slab rollback of the subducting Paleo-Pacific Plate.
