The supergiant Shuangjianzishan (SJS) Ag–Pb–Zn deposit, located in the southern Great Xing’an Range (SGXR), is the largest Ag deposit in China. The SJS deposit can be divided into two ore blocks: the Shuangjianzishan ore block and the Xinglongshan ore block. Given the importance of the Xinglongshan ore block in the SJS deposit, our work is focused on the Xinglongshan ore block. The vein orebodies in the Xionglongshan ore block mainly occur in the NW-, NNW-, and NNE-trending fault zones, and its mineralization is mainly related to a deep concealed syenogranite. Here, we present new geochronology, isotope geochemistry, and fluid inclusion data for the Xinglongshan ore block and provide additional insights into the metallogenic mechanism of the deposit. The dating results show that the syenogranite related to the mineralization formed at approximately 137 Ma, which is coherent with some previous age determinations in sulfides from the ore deposit. The mineralization of the Xinglongshan ore block can be divided into four stages: sphalerite–arsenopyrite–pyrite–chalcopyrite–quartz stage (stage I), sphalerite–galena–pyrite–silver-bearing mineral–quartz stage (stage II), sphalerite–galena–silver-bearing mineral–quartz–calcite stage (stage III), and weakly mineralized quartz–calcite stage (stage IV). Four types of fluid inclusions (FIs) have been identified within quartz and calcite veins: liquid-rich, gas-rich, pure-liquid, and pure-gas FIs. The homogenization temperatures in the four stages exhibit a gradual decrease, with stage I ranging from 253 to 302 °C, stage II from 203 to 268 °C, stage III from 184 to 222 °C, and stage IV from 153 to 198 °C, respectively. The salinity for stages I, II, III, and IV falls within the ranges of 3.4–6.6 wt% NaCl eqv., 2.6–7.2 wt% NaCl eqv., 2.9–7.0 wt% NaCl eqv., and 1.2–4.8 wt% NaCl eqv., respectively, indicative of a low-salinity ore-forming fluid. The δ¹⁸O_water and δD values of the ore-forming fluid span from −13.9‰ to 7.4‰ and −145‰ to −65‰, with δ¹³C_V-PDB values between −11.0‰ and −7.9‰. These values suggest that the ore-forming fluid predominantly originated from a mixture of magmatic and meteoric water. The ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios of sulfides range from 18.278 to 18.361, 15.530 to 15.634, and 38.107 to 38.448, respectively. These ratios imply that the ore-forming material was primarily derived from the Early Cretaceous granitic magma, which resulted from the mixing of depleted mantle- and crustal-derived magmas. The fluid mixing was the dominant mechanism for mineral precipitation. The Xinglongshan ore block belongs to a magmatic-hydrothermal vein-type deposit related to the Early Cretaceous syenogranite, and the Shuangjianzishan ore block belongs to an intermediate sulfidation epithermal deposit related to coeval subvolcanic rocks. The Ag–Pb–Zn mineralization at Shuangjianzishan is genetically related to the Early Cretaceous volcanic–intrusive complex.

The superlarge Huaaobaote Ag–Pb–Zn deposit is located on the western slope of the southern Great Xing’an Range (SGXR). The deposit includes four ore blocks, namely, ore blocks I, II, III, and V. Except for the no. I orebody of ore block I, which is hosted in the contact zone between the Carboniferous serpentinized harzburgite and the Permian siltstone, the other orebodies all occur as veins controlled by faults. The mineralization process at the deposit can be divided into four stages: cassiterite–arsenopyrite–pyrite–quartz stage (stage I), cassiterite–chalcopyrite–pyrite–freibergite–arsenopyrite–pyrrhotite–quartz stage (stage II), sphalerite–galena–jamesonite–stibnite–freibergite–silver mineral–quartz–calcite–chlorite stage (stage III), and argentite–pyrargyrite–pyrite–quartz–calcite (stage IV). Cassiterite U–Pb dating of the Huaaobaote deposit yielded ages of 136.3–134.3 Ma, indicating that the deposit formed in the Early Cretaceous period. Two types of fluid inclusions (FIs), including liquid-rich and gas-rich FIs, have been distinguished in the quartz vein and sphalerite. The homogenization temperature during the four stages gradually decreases, with temperatures of 302–340 °C for stage I, 267–304 °C for stage II, 186–273 °C for stage III, and 166–199 °C for stage IV, respectively. The salinity (wt% NaCl eqv.) at stages I, II, III, and IV is 3.7–6.6, 0.2–4.5, 0.2–5.0, and 0.4–1.6, respectively, indicating that the ore-forming fluid is characterized by low salinity. The δ¹⁸O_water and δD values of the ore-forming fluid range from −11.9‰ to 7.9‰ and −168‰ to −76‰, respectively, indicating that the ore-forming fluid was dominantly derived from a mixture of magmatic and meteoric water. The calculated δ³⁴S_H2S values range from −3.6‰ to 1.2‰, indicating that the sulfur mainly came from granitic magma. The ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios of sulfides are in the ranges of 18.195–18.317, 15.509–15.667, and 37.965–38.475, respectively, implying that the ore-forming material was mainly derived from felsic magma that may be formed by the partial melting of orogenic materials. Fluid mixing, cooling, and immiscibility were the three primary mechanisms for mineral precipitation in the Huaaobaote deposit.
