“…The studies by Yu et al [23], Wang et al [24], Yang Q. et al [25], and Yang F. et al [26] provide geological, geochronological, and geochemical insights into the formation of polymetallic deposits, including the timing of mineralization and ore genetic types. In addition, garnet Sm-Nd dating is conducted on the Hongshan skarn deposits to further constrain the timing of skarn formation in Zu et al [27].…”

In the last century, following the development of Earth System Science, the metallogenic system has become an important topic in the study of mineral deposits. The term "metallogenic system" firstly presented in 1970s, connotes a natural system with ore-forming functions [1]. The metallogenic system includes geological factors controlling ore-formation and preservation, and ore-forming processes and their products-ore deposit series and anomaly series [1]. It emphasizes the integration of tectonic settings, controlling factors, metallogenic mechanisms, and conditions and mechanisms of post-mineralization transformation and preservation (i.e., the source, transport, trap, transformation, and preservation). On the basis of the theory of the metallogenic system, Deng et al. [2][3][4] defined the composite metallogenic system and summarized the distribution and characteristics of composite metallogenic systems in China.While economic geology typically focuses on the differences between individual deposits, the metallogenic system looks for broad similarities in each system [5]. The metallogenic system model allows for multiple mineralization styles to be identified within a single system [5]. For example, a porphyry copper system may develop associated high and low sulfidation epithermal gold mineralization, and skarn-type or hydrothermal vein-type Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization [6][7][8]. By integrating all geological ingredients and processes that are necessary for the formation of mineral deposits, the investigation of the metallogenic system is more useful for revealing the geodynamic evolution of a region, and more effective for regional prospecting exploration [9][10][11] From the perspective of regional metallogeny, the study by Niu et al. [12] relates deep dynamic processes in the Earth to gold deposits at the crustal surface (core → mantle → crust) in Jiaodong Province. Zircon Hf and whole-rock Nd isotopic mapping presented in Zhang et al. [13] precisely illustrate the controls of lithospheric architecture on the distribution of regional polymetallic mineralization. Liu et al. [14] and Wei et al. [15] propose the main gold deposition mechanisms by studying the fluid inclusions and corresponding H-O-S isotopic compositions of different ore-forming stages in the Sanshandao and Sizhuang gold deposits, respectively. Zhao et al. [16] classifies the Koka gold deposit in NE Africa as an orogenic gold deposit based on the similar features of geology and ore-forming fluids.The study by Chen et al. [17] describes the occurrence of texturally heterogeneous gold-hosting quartz types and variations in trace element geochemistry, offering a more multi-generational perspective on precipitation mechanisms that fluid inclusion studies may not be able to offer. Guo et al. [18] investigates the rare earth element geochemistry and C-O isotope characteristics of hydrothermal calcites to provide new insights into the fluid-rock interactions and ore-forming processes. Li N. et al. [19] present a textural and trace-element analysi...
