The golden transformation of the Cretaceous plate subduction in the West Pacific
TLDR
In this paper, a large-scale orogenic lode gold (Au) mineralization occurred contemporaneously with an abrupt change of ~ 80° in the drifting direction of the subducting Pacific plate, concurrent with the formation of the Ontong Java Plateau.About:

Timing, scale and mechanism of the destruction of the North China Craton
TL;DR: The North China Craton (NCC) is a classical example of ancient destroyed cratons and numerous studies have been conducted on the timing, scale, and mechanism of this destruction through combined interdisciplinary research.

TL;DR: Porphyry deposits supply most of the world's Cu and Mo resources Over 90% of the porphyry mines are found at convergent margins, especially above active subduction zones, with much fewer occurrences at postcollisional or other tectonic settings Porphyry Cu-(Mo)−(Au) deposits are essentially magmatic-hydrothermal systems, which are generally initiated by injection of oxidized magmas saturated with metal-rich aqueous fluids, i.e., the parental magmas need to be water rich and oxidized with most

Formation of the 1300-km-wide intracontinental orogen and postorogenic magmatic province in Mesozoic South China: A flat-slab subduction model
Zheng-Xiang Li,Xian-Hua Li +1 more
TL;DR: This article proposed a flat-slab subduction model for Mesozoic South China based on both sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb zircon data and a synthesis of existing structural, geochronological, and sedimentary facies results.

Orogenic gold deposits : A proposed classification in the context of their crustal distribution and relationship to other gold deposit types
TL;DR: The orogenic gold deposits were formed during compressional to transpressional deformation processes at convergent plate margins in accretionary and collisional orogens as discussed by the authors, with gold deposition from 15-20 km to the near surface environment.

Accretion leading to collision and the Permian Solonker suture, Inner Mongolia, China: Termination of the central Asian orogenic belt
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report new field data for the Ondor Sum melange in the Ulan valley, and present a new evaluation of the orogenic belt extending from the southern Mongolia cratonic boundary to the north China craton.

Recycling lower continental crust in the North China craton
Shan Gao,Shan Gao,Roberta L. Rudnick,Hong-Ling Yuan,Xiaoming Liu,Yongsheng Liu,Wen-Liang Xu,Wenli Ling,John C. Ayers,Xuan-Che Wang,Qing-Hai Wang +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that lower crustal foundering occurred within the North China craton during the Late Jurassic, and thus provides constraints on the timing of lithosphere removal beneath the NorthChina craton.

Petrogenesis of Mesozoic granitoids and volcanic rocks in south China : a response to tectonic evolution.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that these rocks were formed in time and space as a response to regional tectonic regime change from the continent-continent collision of the Indosinian orogeny within the broad Tethyan orogenic domain in the Early Mesozoic (T1-T3) (Period I) to the largely extensional setting as a result of the Yanshanian Orogeny genetically associated with the NW-WNW-ward subduction of the paleo-Pacific oceanic lithosphere in the Late Mesozooric (J
