  • Detailed studies on zircons from the Jianfengling granite in the Baolun gold deposit indicate that the zircons can be divided into magmatic and hydrothermal zircons. The magmatic zircons are colorless, transparent, prismatic, euhedral crystal with few inclusions, and have moderate U, Th contents (mostly less than 1000μg/g). LA-ICP-MS U-Pb analyses of these zircons gave a weighted mean 206Pb/238U concordia age of 240±2.1Ma, which is interpreted as the age of emplacement for the Jianfengling granite. Hydrothermal zircons are brown, translucence to opaque, and have extremely high U, Th and trace elements contents, the highest U, Th contents being 30000μg/g, 20000μg/g, respectively. Hydrothermal zircons have high common Pb contents (206Pbc=0.77%-11.0%). LA-ICP-MS U-Pb analyses of these zircons gave the age from 106 to 120Ma, with a weighted mean 206Pb/238U age of 112.8±4.3Ma, which is interpreted as the age of hydrothermal event. It is indicated that there is a strong hydrothermal process at ca. 112.8Ma, which might be related to Yanshanian magmatism in this area. Gold mineralization of Baolun gold deposit is most likely related with this hydrothermal event. U-Pb dating on hydrothermal zircons could be used to constrain the timing of hydrothermal event and constrain the timing of gold mineralization related with hydrothermal event.
