The study identified three peaks in gold mineralization throughout the Tianshan region and indicated different sources of ore-forming metals, with deposits in the Western Tianshan primarily sourced from upper crustal reservoirs while those in the Chinese Tianshan mainly sourced from lower crustal and/or mantle reservoirs. These different reservoirs likely account for the distinct characteristics of gold deposits in the Western and Chinese Tianshan.
The Tianshan is one of the largest gold provinces on Earth and hosts several giant gold deposits, while most giant gold deposits are distributed in the western and central segments of the Tianshan (i.e., the Western Tianshan) but not in Chinese Tianshan. Thus, the differences for metallogenesis of gold deposits between the Western and Chinese Tianshan attract intensive interest but remain ambiguous. Here we present sericite 40Ar/39Ar ages and S?Pb isotope compositions of pyrite from the Kanggur gold deposit, the largest shear zone-related gold deposit in the Chinese Tianshan. By integrating new sericite 40Ar/39Ar plateau ages (262.71 ? 2.95 Ma and 263.40 ? 2.94 Ma) with previous geochronological results, three peaks in gold mineralization are identified for the entire Tianshan: an early peak at ca. 330 Ma during which time subduction?accretion-related porphyry-type and orogenic gold deposits formed, a middle peak at ca. 290 Ma during which time post-collisional magmatismrelated orogenic gold deposits formed in a collisional compressional to post-collisional extensional environment, and a late peak at ca. 260 Ma during which time strike?slip shear zone-related orogenic gold deposits formed in a post-collisional extensional environment. The sulfur (?34SV-CDT of -1.0 to +2.5%o for pyrite from ores and -1.9 to +2.6%o for pyrite from wall rocks) and lead (18.199?18.231 for 206Pb/204Pb, 15.585?15.624 for 207Pb/204Pb, 38.104?38.229 for 208Pb/204Pb for pyrite from ores, and 18.176?18.244 for 206Pb/204Pb, 15.583?15.611 for 207Pb/204Pb, 38.090?38.205 for 208Pb/204Pb for pyrite from wall rocks) isotope compositions of pyrite indicate that the metals in gold deposits throughout the Tianshan were sourced from different reservoirs. In the Western Tianshan, the ore-forming metals for the deposits southwest of longitude 70?E were mainly sourced from upper crustal reservoirs, whereas those east of longitude 70?E were mainly sourced from lower crustal reservoirs. In the Chinese Tianshan, however, the ore-forming metals were dominantly sourced from lower crustal and/or mantle reservoirs. These different reservoirs were likely responsible for the distinct characteristics of the gold deposits located in the Western and Chinese Tianshan.
