“…As a result, we propose the modeling results in Sun et al. (2022) may not adequately represent the thermal history of these samples. The Jiaobei Uplift also experienced a long‐time slow cooling during the latest Cretaceous to the earliest Paleogene (Figure 12).…”

“…Compared with the slow cooling in the Sulu Terrane, low‐temperature thermal history modeling results by QTQt indicated a rapid cooling at an average rate of c. 4°C/myr at ca. 70 to 60 Ma in both the Jiaojia and Linglong goldfields of the Jiaobei Uplift (Sun et al., 2017, 2022). However, the plot of AHe dates versus depth between 70 and 20 Ma in the Jiaojia goldfield forming a good linear array pointed to an exhumation at a rate of c. 0.03 mm/yr (Figure 6b in Sun et al., 2022).…”

“…A late Early Cretaceous rapid cooling was documented in the Jiaobei Uplift. Sun et al (2022) attributed this rapid cooling to the collision between the Okhotomorsk Block and the Eurasian continent to the north. However, the Early Cretaceous rapid cooling occurred in the gold deposits situated in the footwalls of the detachment faults in the Jiaobei Uplift that show uplift within an extensional setting (Figure 12).…”

“…This exhumation corresponds to rapid cooling at c. 15°C/myr (Figure 12). The ZHe age-elevation plots and thermal modeling in the Jiaojia goldfield (Jiao-Xin district; Figure 1b) and Linglong goldfield (Zhao-Ping district; Figure 1b) revealed a post-mineralization rapid cooling at rates of 12 and 8°C/myr from 120 to 95 Ma (Figure 7 in Sun et al, 2022). This extreme cooling rate was also supported by low-temperature thermochronology summarized by Sun et al (2017) and Zhang et al (2022) for the Linglong, Luanjiahe, and Guojialing plutons in the Jiaobei Uplift.…”

Low‐Temperature Thermochronology for Defining the Tectonic Controls on Heterogeneous Gold Endowment Across the Jiaodong Peninsula, Eastern China

This study presents a low-temperature thermochronological data set from the Jiaodong Peninsula in eastern China, including new zircon U-Th/He and apatite fission-track data from the Sulu Terrane in the eastern side of the Jiaodong Peninsula and published data from the Jiaobei Uplift to the west. These data reveal differential tectonic evolution between the Jiaobei Uplift and the Sulu Terrane, which is responsible for their heterogeneous gold endowment. Thermal history inverse modeling and structural analysis indicate three broad periods of cooling in the Sulu Terrane. These include: (a) slow cooling from 114 to 50 Ma; (b) rapid cooling from 50 to 40 Ma; and (c) tectonic stability after 40 Ma with little cooling. This thermotectonic evolution pattern shows that the local tectonic evolution of Sulu Terrane and Jiaobei Uplift are relatively independent, although they share identical far-field geodynamic controls. The critical characteristic is the Early Cretaceous extension within the Sulu Terrane was much weaker than that in the Jiaobei Uplift that underwent a rapid period of uplift in the Aptian. The differential tectonic evolution of the two areas induced variation in structural architecture and consequential differences in degree of extension that are important factors in defining the heterogeneous gold endowment rather than simply suggested differences in ore-forming fluid chemistry, metal precipitation mechanism, and/or exhumation levels. The intense extension in the Jiaobei Uplift was conducive to voluminous fluid migration and gold precipitation. In contrast, the much weaker extensional setting in the Sulu Terrane was not conducive to large-scale fluid migration from deep. Plain Language SummaryThe Izanagi Plate was subducted westward underneath the Eurasian continent beginning in the Jurassic, influencing the tectonic evolution and forming a remarkable metal endowment in eastern China. The Jiaodong gold province in China is composed of the Jiaobei Uplift to the west and Sulu Terrane to the east, hosting gold resources of >5,000 tonnes. More than 85% of the gold resources are hosted in orogenic gold deposits in the Jiaobei Uplift, whereas gold endowment is more limited in the Sulu Terrane. Structural analysis and low-temperature thermochronology from our new study reveal that the tectonic evolution of the Sulu Terrane is different from that previously described for the Jiaobei Uplift. Differential tectonic evolution shows that the local ore-controlling structural evolution of the two areas is relatively independent although both are controlled by the subduction of the Izanagi Plate. This independence reflecting differences in degrees of extension appears to be the major factor responsible for the heterogeneous gold endowment in the Jiaodong gold province. The greater amount of extension in the Jiaobei Uplift relative to that in the Sulu Terrane was more conducive to large-scale fluid migration in the Early Cretaceous, which led to the world-class gold deposit formation.
