The Haoyaoerhudong gabbro is a mafic intrusion located in the Haoyaoerhudong gold deposit, which is a giant gold deposit (148 t Au) hosted in Proterozoic strata on the northern margin of the North China Craton. In this paper, we present integrated SHRIMP U–Pb, geochemical and Sr–Nd isotopic data from gabbro of the Haoyaoerhudong gold deposit to reveal the magmatic processes behind its origin. SHRIMP zircon U–Pb dating constrains the timing of crystallization of the Haoyaoerhudong gabbro to 278.8 ± 0.81 Ma. Whole-rock geochemical results indicate that the Haoyaoerhudong gabbro has calc-alkaline features with enrichments of large-ion lithophile elements (LILE) and light rare-earth elements (REE) as well as depletions of high-field strength elements (HFSE). The relatively high (87Sr/86Sr)i (0.7053 to 0.7078) and low εNd(t) (−4.6 to −15.1) values of the gabbro indicate the involvement of crustal materials. Low Ce/Pb ratios (1.35 to 7.38), together with nearly constant La/Sm and Th/Yb ratios and variable Ba/Th and Sr/Nd ratios, suggest that the ancient mantle was modified by slab dehydration fluids. Based on new geochemical data and regional geological investigations, we propose that both the Haoyaoerhudong gold deposit and the Haoyaoerhudong gabbro formed in a post-orogenic extensional setting.

Ordovician-Silurian subduction, Early Devonian arc-contient collision and followed post-collision extension are recorded in the north of the North China Craton. Most previous research has focused on the first two processes. Discussion on the post-collisional extension and its tetonic regime is still limited. In this study, 40Ar-39Ar muscovite ages obtained from the central part of the northern North China Craton were analyzed to shed light on the timing of post-collision extension. Garnet muscovite schist and muscovite quartz schist in the Jianshan Formation yielded 40Ar-39Ar muscovite plateau ages of 412 ± 3 Ma and 391 ± 3 Ma, respectively. Two other 40Ar-39Ar muscovite plateau ages (389 ± 2 Ma and 397 ± 2Ma) were obtained for two Mesoproterozoic monzogranites intruding into the Jianshan Formation. Based on previous research, the northern North China Craton underwent a collision event with Bainaimiao arc at c. 415 Ma, followed by post-collision extension in early Late Paleozoic. Therefore, combined with the newly acquired muscovite 40Ar-39Ar dating results, the Jianshan Formation might go through regional metamorphism at c. 412 Ma during the collision process. Subsequently, the Jianshan Formation and monzogranites intruding into it went through rapid exhumation along with metamorphism at c. 397–389 Ma in a post-collision extensional setting. The muscovite 40Ar-39Ar ages provide new markers for the exhumation history and the post-collisional extension setting during Early-Late Devonian in the study area. Furthermore, slab breakoff as the cause for this extensional setting is argued by the emplacement of the Early-Late Devonian alkaline rocks.

The Hadamengou gold deposit is located in the western segment of the northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC). The mineralization age of the Hadamengou gold deposit is a matter of controversy. Based on the extensive collection the results of previous research, we infer that the Hadamengou gold deposit is exposed to prolonged geological evolution. It was formed as early as the Middle Hercynian orogen. The metallization mainly took place in the Early Indosinian epoch.
