Shibaqinghao gold deposit is situated in the western part of the northern margin of the North China Craton. It is controlled by an E-W trending tectonic zone that is located in the middle unit of Dongwufenzi group which consists of a se- quence of greenschist-facies metamorphic rocks in an Archean greenstone belt. In Shibaqinghao gold deposit there are two types of gold ore, a mylonite ore and a quartz vein ore. Mylonite ore bodies were formed during ductile shearing stage in the Early Proterozoic, whereas quartz vein ore bedies might have been fOrmed in the Mesozoic time. Pyrite accompanied with native gold in the mylonite ore has sulpfur of which ■S values range from-5. 8 to + 0. 8 per mil,similar to the values of mantle-derived sulphur. These data suggest that gold in the mylonite ore be derived from the country rocks which originated directly in the upper mantle. Pyrite in quartz vein ore has the of ■S values between + 3. 0 and + 11. 0 per mil, similar to the values of some granitic rocks. These facts indicate that the gold in the quartz vein ore is related to some granitic magma generated in the crust. This study revealed that two different mineralization occurred at different geological times and in different environments but in the same place, resuling in the Shibaqinghao gold deposit.
