A variety of gold deposits are formed in accretionary orogens, including orogenic gold deposits. [38] Orogenic gold deposits are typically located in metamorphosed fore-arc and back-arc regions, as well as in the arc [3] and show a close spatial relationship to lamprophyres and associated felsic porphyry dikes and sills.

The Laoshankou Iron Oxide-Cu-Au deposit, which is located at the southwest of the Qinhe City, Xinjian, Northwest China, is considered as one of the most important high-quality copper and gold reserve in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, with the deposit being hosted by the volcanic rocks formed during Middle Devonian.

The following is a list of known orogenies organised by continent, starting with the oldest in each. The headings are present-day continents, which may differ from the geography contemporary to the orogenies.
Orogeny (/ ɒ ˈ r ɒ dʒ ə n i /) is a mountain-building process that takes place at a convergent plate margin when plate motion compresses the margin. An orogenic belt or orogen develops as the compressed plate crumples and is uplifted to form one or more mountain ranges.
China's iron ore is mainly found in northeast and southwest of mainland China. [2] China's largest gold mining region is in the northeast of the country. In 2014 China mined more gold than any other country, however, its projected reserves places it between 6th and 10th in the world. [46] [49] There are extensive coal fields throughout China.
The majority of primary gold deposits fall into two main categories: lode gold deposits or intrusion-related deposits. Lode gold deposits, also referred to as orogenic gold are generally high-grade, thin, vein and fault hosted. They are primarily made up of quartz veins also known as lodes or reefs, which contain either native gold or gold ...
Successful gold mining today bears little resemblance to the storied era of America’s first gold boom: rough-and-tumble 19th-century boomtowns cropping up overnight to accommodate speculative ...
Hatu is the name of a gold deposit and associated gold mines in the West Junggar region [1] [2] in Tuoli County [3] within the Xinjiang province of China. [4] It is the largest gold deposit in West Junggar and occurs in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. [5] It is located less than one hour by road from Karamay. [4]
