Ore Genesis of the Changkeng–Fuwan Au-Ag Deposit in Central Guangdong, South China: Evidence from Fluid Inclusions and C-H-O-S-Pb-He-Ar Isotopes

: The Changkeng–Fuwan Au-Ag deposit is representative in South China, which is located in the southwest of the Qin–Hang metallogenic belt (QHMB). The Au and Ag orebodies are located in the same altered fracture zone, forming independent gold and silver orebodies respectively, with the characteristics of “upper gold and lower silver” in space. Three metallogenic stages have been identiﬁed: the pyrite–quartz–sericite stage, the polymetallic sulﬁde stage, and the quartz–calcite stage. The ﬂuid inclusions (FIs) from the deposit are the two-phase liquid-rich (type I) and the pure liquid FIs (type II). The microthermometric measurements of type I FIs are characterized by temperatures of 158–282 ◦ C and 146–289 ◦ C and salinities of 0.35–9.88 wt.% NaCl equiv. and 0.18–11.70 wt.% NaCl equiv. The H, O, He, and Ar isotopic data show that the ore-forming ﬂuids of the deposit were derived from a mixture of magmatic and meteoric ﬂuids. The C and O isotopic data suggest that the carbon of the ﬂuid may derive from a magmatic source. The S and Pb isotopic data indicate that the primary source of the metals in the Changkeng–Fuwan deposit may be a magma source. Based on the geological characteristics, FI microthermometry, and isotope data (C, H, O, He, Ar, S, and Pb), we propose that the Changkeng–Fuwan deposit should be classiﬁed as a far-source low-temperature magmatic–hydrothermal deposit.


Introduction
The Qin-Hang metallogenic belt (QHMB) is a 2000 km NE-trending ore belt situated in the South China Block [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The West Guangdong-East Guangxi, situated within the southwest of the QHMB, is one of the most important Cu-Au-Zn-Ag production areas in South China [10]. Numerous exploration studies have been conducted in the area during the past decades, resulting in the discovery of many large deposits [7,8,11,12], including the Pangxidong Ag deposit, the Damingshan Au-Ag deposit, the Hetai Au deposit, the Huangnikeng Au deposit, the Xinzhou Au deposit, and the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit.
The Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit is one of the largest Au-Ag deposits in South China. The Au and Ag reserves reach large and super-large scales, respectively [13]. The Au and Ag orebodies are characterized by "upper gold and lower silver" in space. The  [4,38]). (b) Geological sketch map of the southern segment of the QHMB (modified from [36]). The locations of the gold deposits are from reference [50].
The Sanshui Basin, which hosts the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit, is situated in the northwest of West Guangdong-East Guangxi ( Figure 2). It is typical of a Mesozoic-Cenozoic extensional basin with an area of approximately 3300 km 2 . The outcropping rocks in the basin consist of metamorphic rocks (Neoproterozoic to Ordovician metasedimentary sequences), Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary rocks, Mesozoic granite, and late Cretaceous to Cenozoic cover rocks [51] (Figure 2). The basement rocks are unconformably overlain by middle Devonian to early Carboniferous marine sedimentary rocks and include sandstone and siltstone [15]. The Mesozoic to Cenozoic continental sedimentary clastic rocks unconformably overlay the lower Carboniferous limestone and are overlain by Eocene volcanic rocks [15]. The Eocene volcanic and sedimentary rocks consist mainly of basalt, rhyolite, tuff, trachytic tuff, and pyroclastic agglomerate [15]. There are mainly five groups of faults with directions of NE-, WE-, and NW-trending, which contain the Wuchuan-Sihui, Enping-Conghua, Xijiang, Panyu, and Shougouling faults ( Figure 2). The activities of the large and deep faults in the area provided favorable channels and spaces for the transportation and precipitation of ore-forming fluids. Many Au-Ag-Pb-Zn polymetallic mineralizations, such as the Luzhou, Dieping, Chashan, Hengjiang, and Xiqiaoshan deposits, are closely correlated with the volcanic-hydrothermal and post-magmatic hydrothermal processes in the Sanshui Basin ( Figure 2).

Deposit Geology
The Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit is located approximately 15 km northwest of Gaoming County, Guangdong Province ( Figure 2). The Au and Ag orebodies are hosted in the same altered fracture zone, forming independent gold and silver orebodies, respectively, with the characteristics of "upper gold and lower silver" in space. The exposed strata are the Carboniferous Zimenqiao, Ceshui and Shidengzi Formations, Triassic Xiaoping Formation, Cretaceous Baizushan Formation, and overlying Tertiary and Quaternary [15] (Figure 3a). The Zimenqiao, Ceshui, and Shidengzi Formations are sparsely distributed in the northwestern margin of the deposit and are composed predominantly of bioclastic and silty limestone [15]. The Zimenqiao formation shows the fault contact with the Xiaoping Formation. The Xiaoping Formation covers the entire central part of the deposit and unconformably overlies the Baizushan Formation. The Baizushan Formation, exposed in the northeast of the deposit, is composed predominantly of clastic rocks containing conglomerate, sandstone (fine sandstone and siltstone), and mudstone.

The Baizushan Formation, exposed in the northeast of the deposit, is composed predominantly of clastic rocks containing conglomerate, sandstone (fine sandstone and siltstone), and mudstone.
Structurally, the NW-trending and NE-trending faults are widely distributed in the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit (Figure 3a). The NE-trending fault (F1) is the major ore-controlling fault, with the trending from 30 to 60°, dipping at angles of 10-35° SE. The NW-trending (F4, F5) and NE-trending (F3) faults cut across the orebodies, which formed after the mineralization. Although there are no exposures of igneous rocks at the surface in the mining district, related geophysical data showed that there may be concealed pluton underlying the deposit [16].

Characteristics of the Orebodies and Ore Mineral Assemblages
The Au and Ag orebodies of the Changkeng-Fuwan deposit occur as stratiform, stratoid, and lenticular shapes and are hosted in the Zimenqiao Formation (Figure 3b). The Au orebody is hosted in the siliceous rocks, while the Ag orebody is hosted in the limestone. The Au and Ag orebodies were mainly controlled by the F1 fault. The Au orebody is located in the north of the mining area and at the upper stratigraphic section, whereas the Ag orebody is located in the south of the mining area and at the lower stratigraphic section (Figure 3b). Two Au orebodies in total were developed during the Au mineralization; almost all metallogenetic features were documented by the largest No.1 orebody, which is more than 750 m length and 1-40 m (average of 10 m) thickness and has an average grade of 7.94 g/t Au. It strikes NEE and dips to the SSE at 30-50°. There were five Ag orebodies developed during the Ag mineralization, and the largest (No. 1) orebody appeared as stratiform, characterized by approximately 2318 m in length and 0.3-32.2 m (average 4.7 m) in thickness, with an average Ag grade of 225.93 g/t. The No. 1 Ag orebody strikes 30-60° SW and dips 10-30° SE.
The content of the metal sulfides in the Au orebody is low, and pyrite is the most abundant mineral. Minor sulfides include sphalerite and chalcopyrite (Figures 4 and 5c,d), and none of these minerals contain appreciable concentrations of Au. The gangue minerals mainly include quartz, sericite, and calcite, with minor realgar and fluorite (Figures 4 and 5a,f,g). The Au occurs as submicroscopic (<0.1 μm) grains in fissures of pyrite, quartz, and clay minerals [20]. The ore minerals of the Ag orebody predominantly include pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and silver-bearing minerals, with minor chalcopyrite Structurally, the NW-trending and NE-trending faults are widely distributed in the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit (Figure 3a). The NE-trending fault (F1) is the major ore-controlling fault, with the trending from 30 to 60 • , dipping at angles of 10-35 • SE. The NW-trending (F4, F5) and NE-trending (F3) faults cut across the orebodies, which formed after the mineralization. Although there are no exposures of igneous rocks at the surface in the mining district, related geophysical data showed that there may be concealed pluton underlying the deposit [16].

The Au and Ag orebodies of the Changkeng-Fuwan deposit occur as stratiform, stratoid, and lenticular shapes and are hosted in the Zimenqiao Formation ( Figure 3b). The Au orebody is hosted in the siliceous rocks, while the Ag orebody is hosted in the limestone. The Au and Ag orebodies were mainly controlled by the F1 fault. The Au orebody is located in the north of the mining area and at the upper stratigraphic section, whereas the Ag orebody is located in the south of the mining area and at the lower stratigraphic section (Figure 3b).

The gangue minerals mainly include quartz, sericite, and calcite, with minor realgar and fluorite (Figures 4 and 5a,f,g). The Au occurs as submicroscopic (<0.1 µm) grains in fissures of pyrite, quartz, and clay minerals [20]. The ore minerals of the Ag orebody predominantly include pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and silver-bearing minerals, with minor chalcopyrite (Figure 5i

Hydrothermal Alteration and Mineralization Stages
The hydrothermal alteration associated with the Au and Ag mineralization is similar. The main alteration types consist of silicification, sericitization, sulfidation, and carbonatization. Among these, silicification and sulfidation are the most common types. Silicification manifested as quartz-pyrite, quartz-polymetallic sulfide, and quartzcarbonate veins (Figure 4a,b,d,h,i). Sericitization mainly manifested as scaly aggregates (Figure 5a,h). Pyrite is closely related to the silicic and sericitic alteration (Figure 5a,h). Carbonation mainly occurred as quartz-carbonate veins (Figures 4d,i and 5g,l). The mineralogy and associated wall rock alteration of each stage are summarized briefly below ( Figure 6).

Among these, silicification and sulfidation are the most common types. Silicification manifested as quartz-pyrite, quartz-polymetallic sulfide, and quartz-carbonate veins (Figure 4a The middle stage includes quartz-polymetallic sulfide veins (Figure 4f-h), which is the most significant stage of Ag production. The ore minerals consisted of pyrite, sphalerite, galena, and silver-bearing minerals (Figure 5i-k). The pyrite was fine-grained, and other sulfides formed the bulk of the ore (Figure 5i). Quartz made up the main gangue mineral. The polymetallic sulfides and Ag-bearing minerals showed a close relationship ( Figure  5j). The late stage is represented by a large amount of calcite and quartz (Figures 4i and  5l).  Three metallogenic stages have been identified in the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit ( Figure 4). The early stage of the Au mineralization is represented by pyritesericite-quartz alteration rocks (Figures 4a and 5a). The ore minerals mainly consisted of pyrite, which was sparsely disseminated in grained and euhedral to subhedral crystals (Figure 5b,c). The gangue minerals mainly consisted of quartz and sericite ( Figure 5a). The quartz during this stage was mainly chalcedony, and its grains were subhedral crystals or anhedral crystals ( Figure 5a). Sericite showed scaly aggregates and was intergrown with pyrite and quartz ( Figure 5a). The middle stage consists of quartz-pyrite veins (Figure 4b,c), which is the most important stage of gold production. It contained quartz and pyrite. Most of the quartz was smoky grey, fine-grained, with euhedral and subhedral crystals, and the pyrite was fine-grained. The late stage is characterized by quartz + calcite (Figures 4d and 5g).
The early stage of the Ag mineralization is also characterized by pyrite-sericite-quartz altered rocks (Figures 4e and 5h). The ore mainly comprised quartz, sericite, and minor pyrite (Figure 5h). The quartz was mainly chalcedony, and its grains were subhedral crystals or anhedral crystals (Figure 5h). The pyrite grains were fine-grained and euhedralsubhedral crystal and were disseminated in sericite and quartz (Figure 5h). The middle stage includes quartz-polymetallic sulfide veins (Figure 4f-h), which is the most significant stage of Ag production. The ore minerals consisted of pyrite, sphalerite, galena, and silverbearing minerals (Figure 5i-k). The pyrite was fine-grained, and other sulfides formed the bulk of the ore (Figure 5i). Quartz made up the main gangue mineral. The polymetallic sulfides and Ag-bearing minerals showed a close relationship (Figure 5j). The late stage is represented by a large amount of calcite and quartz (Figures 4i and 5l).

Fluid Inclusion Microthermometry
In total, 46 doubly polished thin sections (21 samples from the Au orebody and 25 samples from the Ag orebody) representing different stages were selected for the FIs studies. Based on the detailed petrography, 8 samples (early stage, 3; middle stage, 3; and late stage, 2) from the Au orebody and 11 samples (early stage, 4; middle stage, 5; and late stage, 2) from the Ag orebody were selected for microthermometric measurements and Laser Raman spectroscopic analyses. The microthermometric measurements were conducted at the China University of Geosciences Beijing, using a LINKAM THMGS-600 heating-freezing stage, with a measured temperature range of −190 • C to +600 • C. The accuracy of the measurements was ensured by calibration at −56.6 • C and 0 • C, using synthetic fluid inclusion standards and pure water. The heating rates were 0.1 • C/min when phase transitions were approached. The errors were about ±0.2 • C for the final ice melting temperatures and ±5 • C for the homogenization temperatures. Laser Raman spectroscopic analyses were conducted on a LABHR-VIS LabRAM HR800 microspectrometer at the Beijing Geological Research Institute of Nuclear Industry, China. The wavelength of the argon ion laser was 532 nm. The scanning range for the spectra lay between 100 and 4000 cm −1 , with an accumulation time of 10 s for each scan and a spectral resolution of 1-2 cm −1 . The detailed procedures followed those reported in previous studies [53][54][55][56].

Isotope Analyses
In total, 33 representative samples across the three identified ore mineralization stages were selected for isotope analysis (C, H, O, S, Pb, He, and Ar), which was performed at the Beijing Geological Research Institute of Nuclear Industry, China. Fifteen quartz samples from three different stages of the Au and Ag orebodies were selected for H-O isotopic analyses. Before measurement, the samples were heated in an induction furnace under a vacuum and high temperature (~130 • C) condition, in order to eliminate the absorbed water in the minerals. Oxygen was liberated by reaction with BrF 5 and converted to CO 2 on a platinum-coated carbon rod [57]. Hydrogen was released by reaction with CuO to generate H 2 O, which then was reduced to H 2 through the Zn catalyst method [58]. The isotopic compositions of both gases were analyzed on a Finnigan MAT253 mass spectrometer.
Sulfur isotopic analyses were conducted on five pyrite, two realgar, and two sphalerite samples, including two realgar samples and one pyrite sample from the Au orebody and four pyrite and two sphalerite samples from the Ag orebody. The samples were analyzed for sulfur isotope using a Finnigan MAT 251 mass spectrometer. The precision for d 34 S was better than ±0.2‰ [59].
Six samples including pyrite and sphalerite were chosen for Pb isotopic determinations. The samples were dissolved in a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and perchloric acid, followed by basic anion exchange resin to purify the Pb. Pb isotopic compositions were determined by using an ISOPROBE-T Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer instrument, and the precisions were better than 0.005%.
Four pyrite, three sphalerite, and one galena separate were selected for He-Ar isotopic analyses. These sulfide grains were cleaned ultrasonically in alcohol, dried, and loaded on-line in vacuo crushers. The sample chips were baked at 100-150 • C for 24 h in order to remove the adsorbed atmospheric contaminants before analyses; then, gases were extracted from the fluid inclusion by crushing in a vacuum. He and Ar isotopic compositions of the inclusion-trapped fluids were measured by using a HelixSFT mass spectrometer.
C-O isotopic analyses were performed on nine calcite samples, including three calcite samples from the Au orebody and six calcite samples from the Ag orebody. C-O isotopic compositions of the nine calcite samples were obtained by using an automatic Multiprep sample preparation device attached to a GV IsoPrime II mass spectrometer. Calcite reacts with 100% phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ) to produce CO 2 . The analytical precision (2r) was ±0.1‰ for δ 13 C and ±1‰ for δ 18 O [60].

Fluid Inclusion Study
Although there were many fluid inclusions (FIs) in the samples, they were too small to determine the phase change. Therefore, only the large isolated primary FIs were selected for measurement. The classification of the primary and secondary FIs was according to Lu et al. [54] and Roedder [61]. Based on the phase compositions at room temperature and the phase transitions (Figure 7), two types of FIs were recognized: two-phase liquid-rich inclusions (type I) and monophase liquid inclusions (type II).

The classification of the primary and secondary FIs was according to Lu et al. [54] and Roedder [61]. Based on the phase compositions at room temperature and the phase transitions (Figure 7), two types of FIs were recognized: twophase liquid-rich inclusions (type I) and monophase liquid inclusions (type II).
The type I FIs commonly contain a vapor bubble and liquid phase at room temperature. The vapor phase occupies the fluid inclusion volume from 5 to 30%, and the phase status at homogenization is liquid phase. These inclusions are round or irregular in shape, and their size varies from 3 to 12 μm. Type I FIs were more abundant in all the samples and widely distributed. Type II FIs consist of a brine liquid, and their diameters are 2-5 μm. Type II FIs were relatively rare and only found in the late stage quartz veins, coexisting with type I FIs ( Figure 7).

The main microthermometric results of the FIs are listed in Table 1. Figures 7 and 8 show the statistical distribution as histograms.

Microthermometry of the Au Orebody
Early Stage: the quartz from the early stage only contained type I inclusions. The Th values of the type I inclusions varied from 223 • C to 282 • C. The ice-melting temperatures varied from −6.6 • C to −1.2 • C, which yielded salinities from 2.1 to 9.9 wt.% NaCl equiv. (Table 1, Figure 8a,b).
Middle stage: this stage also only contained type I inclusions in the quartz, which yielded ice-melting temperatures ranging from −6.5 • C to −1.1 • C, with corresponding salinities from 1.9 to 9.9 wt.% NaCl equiv. The Th values varied from 187 • C to 231 • C and had a peak between 200 • C and 210 • C (Table 1, Figure 8c,d).
Late stage: this stage was dominated by type I inclusions in the quartz and calcite, with some type II inclusions. The type I inclusions in the calcite were analyzed. The ice-melting temperatures ranged from −1.8 • C to −0.2 • C, with the corresponding salinities varying from 0.4 to 3.1 wt.% NaCl equiv. The Th values ranged from 158 to 211 • C and had a peak in the range of 170-190 • C (Figure 8e,f).  Figure 9a,b).

Laser Raman Spectroscopy
We used laser Raman spectroscopy to detect the composition of the FIs in quartz. The peak value of the water in the Raman analysis was 2800-3800 cm [62]. The results revealed that the vapor and liquid phases of the FIs comprised H2O (Figure 10), and no other volatiles were determined. Middle stage: this stage also only contained type I inclusions in the quartz and sphalerite. The ice-melting temperatures from the quartz ranged from −6.5 to −1.1 • C, with corresponding salinities from 2.6 to 12.4 wt.% NaCl equiv. The Th values varied from 180 • C to 232 • C and had a peak between 200 • C and 210 • C. The ice-melting temperatures from the sphalerite varied from −8.8 • C to −2.2 • C, with corresponding salinities from 3.7 to 12.6 wt.% NaCl equiv. The Th values ranged from 187 • C to 230 • C (Table 1, Figure 9c,d).
Late stage: this stage was dominated by type I inclusions in the quartz and calcite, with some type II inclusions. The type I inclusions in calcite were analyzed from this stage. The ice-melting temperatures ranged from −1.0 to −0.1 • C, with corresponding salinities from 0.2 to 1.7 wt.% NaCl equiv. The Th values varied from 146 to 203 • C (Table 1, Figure 9e,f).

The δ 34 S values of sulfides from the Au and Ag orebodies ranged from −5.80 to 8.73‰ (mean −0.84‰) and −8.70 to 7.39‰ (mean 2.58‰), respectively. In the Au orebody, the pyrite showed δ 34 S values of −5.80 to 8.73‰ (mean −1.25‰), the stibnite had δ 34 S values ranging from −3.90 to 2.30‰ (mean 0.07‰), and the realgar displayed a range from 1.30 to 5.30‰ (mean 3.76‰).

Overall, the δ 34 S values of the sulfides from the Au and Ag orebodies were similar, with a pronounced normal distribution.  The analytical results of the lead isotopes from the Au and Ag orebodies are listed in Table 5. Overall, the individual isotopic values of sulfides from the two orebodies fell within a narrow range. In the Au orebody, the 206

He and Ar Isotopes
The He and Ar isotopic data of the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposits are listed in Table 6. In the Au orebody, the 3 He/ 4 He values varied from 2.46 to 2.50 Ra, where Ra (=1.4 × 10 −6 ) represents the atmospheric 3 He/ 4 He values [66]. The 40 Ar/ 36 Ar values of the two analyzed samples were 304.6 and 300.2, slightly higher than the atmospheric standard values (295.5) [67]. The 4 He concentrations in the pyrite showed a variation between 1.30 and 3.65 (10 −8 cm 3 STP/g). The 40 Ar concentrations in the pyrite ranged from 2.77 to 22.20 (10 −8 cm 3 STP/g). In the Ag orebody, the 3 He/ 4 He values ranged from 1.41 to 5.70 Ra (average 3.88 Ra). The 40 Ar/ 36 Ar values varied from 295.6 to 314.7 with a mean value of 300.9, higher than that of air (295.5).

The C and O isotope data in the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit are listed in Table 7.

Fluid Evolution
Fluid inclusions can provide insights into the metallogenic processes of hydrothermal systems [54,68,69]. The evolution of the fluids for the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit can be reconstructed by petrographic, microthermometric, and laser Raman spectroscopy data of the FIs, which indicate that the ore-forming fluid in the Au and Ag mineralizations showed similarity in their chemical and physical properties. As described earlier, the type I inclusions dominated in the Au and Ag mineralizations. Laser Raman spectroscopy data indicated that the H 2 O dominated the vapor and liquid phases with no other volatiles detected. In the early stage, the ore-forming fluid was represented by medium-low temperature and medium-low salinity, which belonged to the NaCl-H 2 O system (Figures 8 and 9, Table 2). In the late stage, the ore-forming fluid had a low temperature and low salinity and turned into an H 2 O-NaCl system (Figures 8 and 9, Table 2). Low-salinity fluids can be generated by the mixing of meteoric water with magmatic fluids [70]. These features, combined with the results of the H and O isotopes (Figure 11), indicate that the primary ore-forming fluid probably mixed with meteoric water infiltrating downward along the fractures. As the mineralization progressed, meteoric water was involved (Figure 11), which led to a temperature and salinity decrease in the ore fluid. by medium-low temperature and medium-low salinity, which belonged to the NaCl-H2O system (Figures 8 and 9, Table 2). In the late stage, the ore-forming fluid had a low temperature and low salinity and turned into an H2O-NaCl system (Figures 8 and 9, Table  2). Low-salinity fluids can be generated by the mixing of meteoric water with magmatic fluids [70]. These features, combined with the results of the H and O isotopes (Figure 11), indicate that the primary ore-forming fluid probably mixed with meteoric water infiltrating downward along the fractures. As the mineralization progressed, meteoric water was involved (Figure 11), which led to a temperature and salinity decrease in the ore fluid. The Th of the FIs in the Au mineralization ranged from 158 to 282 °C . The corresponding values in the Ag mineralization were between 146 and 289 °C . The salinities of the FIs were 0.35-9.88 wt.% and 0.18-11.7 wt.% NaCl equivalent, respectively. The Th and salinity diagrams [71] show that the three fluid groups depicted an obvious descending trend ( Figure 12). This trend indicates a product of the gradual mixing of magmatic fluid with meteoric water [72]. The Th of the FIs in the Au mineralization ranged from 158 to 282 • C. The corresponding values in the Ag mineralization were between 146 and 289 • C. The salinities of the FIs were 0.35-9.88 wt.% and 0.18-11.7 wt.% NaCl equivalent, respectively. The Th and salinity diagrams [71] show that the three fluid groups depicted an obvious descending trend ( Figure 12). This trend indicates a product of the gradual mixing of magmatic fluid with meteoric water [72]. by medium-low temperature and medium-low salinity, which belonged to the NaCl-H2O system (Figures 8 and 9, Table 2). In the late stage, the ore-forming fluid had a low temperature and low salinity and turned into an H2O-NaCl system (Figures 8 and 9, Table  2). Low-salinity fluids can be generated by the mixing of meteoric water with magmatic fluids [70]. These features, combined with the results of the H and O isotopes (Figure 11), indicate that the primary ore-forming fluid probably mixed with meteoric water infiltrating downward along the fractures. As the mineralization progressed, meteoric water was involved (Figure 11), which led to a temperature and salinity decrease in the ore fluid. The Th of the FIs in the Au mineralization ranged from 158 to 282 °C . The corresponding values in the Ag mineralization were between 146 and 289 °C . The salinities of the FIs were 0.35-9.88 wt.% and 0.18-11.7 wt.% NaCl equivalent, respectively. The Th and salinity diagrams [71] show that the three fluid groups depicted an obvious descending trend ( Figure 12). This trend indicates a product of the gradual mixing of magmatic fluid with meteoric water [72].

Source of Ore-Forming Fluids
H and O isotopic analyses play a critical role in tracing the origin and evolution history of fluids [73][74][75][76][77]. The δD-δ 18 O isotopic diagram shows that the H and O isotopic data of the Au and Ag orebodies had a similar distribution (Figure 11). This implies that the sources of the ore-forming fluids for the Au and Ag orebodies were similar. The H and O isotopic results from the Au and Ag orebodies fell between the magmatic water region and the meteoric water line (Figure 11), and most data plots were close to the primary magmatic region. This suggests that the magmatic component contributed more than the meteoric water. The fluids of the deposit may be partly derived from magmatic fluid, and meteoric water was involved during the mineralization. It was also consistent with the late stage fluids with low temperature and salinity caused by a meteoric water source.
He and Ar isotopic analyses also play a critical role in tracing the origin of ore-forming fluids [66,78]. Generally, the source of the He-Ar isotopes of the fluids were as follows:  (Figure 13a), the value of 3 He/ 4 He in the FIs from the Au and Ag orebodies had a similar distribution, and all data were plotted between the crustal and mantle helium isotopic values. This indicates that the ore-forming fluids of the deposit may be a mixture of the MDF and CDF. The percentage of the MDF can be calculated by the equation from [63]. The calculated results ranged from 17.85 to 72.59% (average 44.84%), reflecting that the ore-forming fluids of the deposit may mainly derive from the MDF with the addition of the CDF. In addition, the values of 40 Ar/ 36 Ar varied from 295.6 to 314.7, with a mean value of 300.9, which was also slightly higher than that of air (295.5). The 40 Ar/ 36 Ar values of the Au and Ag orebodies also showed a similar distribution in the R/Ra-40 Ar/ 36 Ar diagram ( Figure 13b). All data fell between the MDF and ASW values, which revealed that the fluids were formed by mixing meteoric water and mantle-derived fluids. Zeng et al. (2007) [84] proposed that the fluid of a magmatic source is characterized by high 3 He/ 4 He and 40 Ar/ 36 Ar values, and the fluid of a meteoric source has low 3 He/ 4 He and 40 Ar/ 36 Ar values. The He and Ar data suggest that the fluids of the deposit may be a mixture of a magmatic source and a meteoric source.

The He and Ar data suggest that the fluids of the deposit may be a mixture of a magmatic source and a meteoric source. The C and O isotopic analyses are often used to trace the origin of the carbon in ore-forming fluids [86][87][88]. The carbon in the fluids included three sources: (1) the upper mantle, (2) marine carbonate, and (3) sedimentary organic matter carbonate [85]. The δ 13 C V-PDB values of calcite from the Au and Ag orebody ranged from −0.7 to 1.3‰ and −1.2 to1.5‰, respectively, which were slightly higher than the mantle source (−8 to −2‰ [89]). The δ 18 O V-SMOW values of calcite ranged from 13.2 to 18.9‰ and 11.9 to 17.3‰, respectively, which were obviously higher than the mantle source (6.5 to 9.5‰ [89]). The C and O isotopic data of calcite from the Au and Ag orebodies had a similar distribution ( Figure 12). All the data were plotted between the magmatic field [85] and marine carbonate field [90]. Moreover, the samples showed a horizontal zonation pattern between δ 13 C V-PDB and δ 18 O V-SMOW ( Figure 14). Therefore, the carbon of fluids may derive from a magmatic source [91]. In summary, we conclude that the source of the fluids in the Changkeng-Fuwan deposit were a mixture of magmatic fluid and meteoric water.  Figure 13.

Source of Ore-Forming Metals
S isotopic analyses can effectively trace the origin of the metals in ore-forming fluids [81][82][83][93][94][95][96][97][98]. Studies on the sulfides related to the Au and Ag mineralizations are helpful to understand the source of the Au and Ag in ore-forming fluids [99][100][101], due to the lack of sulfate minerals in the Changkeng-Fuwan deposit. Thus, the total S isotopic compositions of the ore-forming fluids can be represented by the δ 34 S values of sulfides [102]. The δ 34 S values of the sulfides from the Au and Ag orebodies in this study and previous studies ranged from −5.8 to +8.73‰ (mean −0.84‰; Table 3; Figure 15a) and −8.7 to +7.39‰ (mean 2.58‰; Table 4; Figure 15b), respectively, which were close to the value of magmatic sulfides (0 ± 5‰; [92]). This suggests that the sulfur of the Changkeng-Fuwan deposit mainly came from magmatic sulfur [103][104][105].

This suggests that the sulfur of the Changkeng-Fuwan deposit mainly came from magmatic sulfur [103][104][105]. The Pb isotopic data can provide indicators about the origin of metal and the tectonic environment of the mineralization [106][107][108]. We analyzed the Pb isotopes of the Au and Ag orebodies, combined with previously published Pb isotopic data. The Pb isotopic data from the Au and Ag orebodies fell within a narrow range ( Table 5). The diagram of 207 Pb/ 204 Pb versus 206 Pb/ 204 Pb ( Figure 16) indicates that all the Pb isotopic data were plotted above or near the upper crust curve, which was consistent with the previous studies. Zhu (1998) [109] proposed that the ratios of 207 Pb/ 204 Pb and 208 Pb/ 204 Pb can also reveal the source of the metal, while 206 Pb/ 204 Pb is sensitive to the time of mineralization. Comparison of data from different rock types can determine the ore formation mechanism. The Δβ-Δγ diagram can reflect the tectonic environment and source of the metal, which is not influenced by the time factor. It can more effectively trace the origin of metals than global patterns of evolution. The values of Δβ and Δγ can be calculated by the equation of Zhu (1998) [109] and Wei (2020) [110]. The diagram of Δβ-Δγ ( Figure 17) further shows that the Pb isotopic data were distributed in the upper crust field or near fields between the upper crust and the mantle. Therefore, the source of the Pb in the Changkeng-Fuwan deposit was predominantly from the upper crust, with a minor contribution of mantlederived Pb.
Hence, we conclude that the primary source of the metals in the Changkeng-Fuwan deposit may be magmatic fluids.

Mineralization Zonation
Our new data from the FIs and isotopic analyses showed that the origin and evolution of the ore-forming fluids and metals of the Au and Ag mineralizations were similar. Therefore, the Au and Ag mineralizations were formed in the same metallogenic system. However, the gold and silver orebodies were independent of one another, with the characteristics of "north gold and south silver" in the plane and "upper gold and lower silver" in the section. Xue et al. [112] suggested that there were two main types of gold deposits in China according to the study of 450 representative gold deposits. One is characterized as Au and Ag associated, with low Pb and Zn contents; the other is Au, As, and Sb associated, with low Ag contents. The statistical results of the mineralization element contents of 125 gold and silver ores samples in the boreholes showed that the Au and Ag orebodies were not completely separated but associated with each other. In particular, in the contact area of the Au and Ag orebodies in the central part, both the contents of the Au and Ag in the same spatial position were close to or above the cut-off grade. The elements of Au (As, Sb)-Au (Ag)-Ag (Au, Pb, Zn, Cu) were zoned with depth. Considering the geochemical characteristics of the elements, we propose that the reason for the mineralization zonation of the Au and Ag orebodies are as follows: Au is a variable element with three forms, Au + , Au 3+ , and Au 0 . Au + is a strong alkaline cation, and its ionic potential is similar to that of Cu + and Ag + . Au 3+ is a transition ion, and its ionic potential is similar to that of Sb 3 + and As 3+ [112][113][114]. Au migrates mainly in the form of Au + at depth and is associated with Ag + . The ionic potential of Ag + and Au + is as follows: Ag + 0.79 and Au + 0.73. Generally, if the coordination anions remain unchanged, the greater the ionic potential of the cations in the complex, the more stable the complex [115,116]. Thus, it presents lower silver (associated gold). Au + is oxidized to Au 3+ in the shallow to nearsurface, which is associated with As 3+ and Sb 3+ , and presents upper gold (associated silver). In addition, the Au, As, and Sb elements can migrate in the gas phase; so, Au 3+ , As 3+ , and Sb 3+ can occur far away from the top of the metallogenic rock mass.

Ore Deposition Mechanism and Genesis
Usually, the metals of the ore-forming fluid exist in the form of Cl-and HS-aqueous complexes, and temperature plays a critical role in the stability of the metal complexes [117][118][119]. A certain degree of cooling of the fluid will lead to the precipitation of the base metals. The ore-forming fluids of the Au and Ag mineralizations belong to the NaCl-H2O

Ore Deposition Mechanism and Genesis
Usually, the metals of the ore-forming fluid exist in the form of Cl-and HS-aqueous complexes, and temperature plays a critical role in the stability of the metal complexes [117][118][119]. A certain degree of cooling of the fluid will lead to the precipitation of the base metals. The ore-forming fluids of the Au and Ag mineralizations belong to the NaCl-H 2 O system with low-medium temperatures and low-medium salinities. The data of the FIs in the Au and Ag mineralizations from the early stage to the late stage indicate that the temperature and salinity of the ore-forming fluids decreased continuously. It shows an integration of both mixing and cooling processes. Moreover, the H, O, He, and Ar isotopic data implied that the fluids of the deposit were formed by mixing meteoric and magmatic fluids. These FIs and stable data demonstrate a simple cooling trend and mixing with meteoric waters during the evolution of the fluid [120][121][122][123]. Meanwhile, the data of the FIs from the middle-stage and late-stage with relatively lower salinity and lower temperature fail to provide any evidence for boiling. In summary, it is considered that fluid mixing ought to be the main mechanism for the deposition of Au and Ag.
Many researchers have proposed hypotheses for the genesis of the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit [14][15][16][17]. At present, its genesis remains controversial. There are two main views to interpret its genesis: (1) epithermal deposit [15] and (2) magmatic hydrothermal deposit [17]. The Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit has unique geological features, which differ greatly from a typical epithermal Au-Ag deposit. Meanwhile, the hydrothermal alteration and mineral assemblage of the deposit are inconsistent with the epithermal deposit [124,125]. Based on the new data in this study, we propose that the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit might be classified as a far-source low-temperature magmatic hydrothermal deposit [112,113]. The detailed reasons for the classification are as follows: (1) The orebodies of the far-source low-temperature magmatic hydrothermal deposit are hosted in a clastic rock-carbonate-siliceous rock formation and are mainly controlled by faults. The orebodies in the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit occur within Zimenqiao Formation siliceous rocks and limestone and are mainly controlled by faults.
(2) The ore minerals of the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit predominantly consist of pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and silver-bearing minerals, with minor chalcopyrite; while the gangue minerals are mostly quartz, sericite, and calcite, with accessory realgar and fluorite. The hydrothermal alteration of both the Au and Ag mineralizations is similar. The main alteration types consist of silicification, sericitization, sulfidation, and carbonatization. Among these, silicification and sulfidation are the most common types. The early stage of the deposit is characterized by silicification. The alteration and mineral assemblage of the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit are similar to a far-source low temperature magmatic hydrothermal deposit.
(3) The type of FIs in a far-source low-temperature magmatic hydrothermal deposit is characterized by aqueous liquid FIs. The homogenization temperatures range from 140 to 300 • C. The types of FIs in the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit were two-phase liquid-rich inclusions and monophase liquid inclusions. The ore-forming fluids of the Au and Ag mineralizations were generally characterized by low-medium temperatures and low-medium salinities and belong to a NaCl-H 2 O system.
(4) The C, H, O, He, and Ar isotopic data demonstrate that magmatic-derived fluid matters during mineralization. In addition, the S and Pb isotopic data show that the primary source of the metals in the Changkeng-Fuwan deposit may be a magma source.
(5) The orebodies of far-source low-temperature magmatic hydrothermal deposit are often far from the igneous intrusion. Although there are no exposures of igneous rocks at the surface in the mine district, related geophysical data showed that a concealed pluton underlay the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit. The concealed pluton may provide the most important mineral and heat sources for the Changkeng-Fuwan deposit.
Collectively, the geological setting, ore geology, hydrothermal alteration, and the characteristics of the fluid and stable isotopic data above attest that the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit belongs to a far-source low-temperature magmatic hydrothermal deposit.

Conclusions
(1) The Au and Ag mineralizations of the Changkeng-Fuwan deposit are the products of the same metallogenic system, and three metallogenic stages were identified: a pyritequartz-sericite stage (early), a polymetallic sulfide stage (middle), and a quartz-calcite stage (late).
(2) The ore minerals of the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit predominantly consisted of pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and silver-bearing minerals, with minor chalcopyrite; while the gangue minerals were mostly quartz, sericite, and calcite, with accessory realgar and fluorite.
(3) Two types of FIs were recognized: two-phase liquid-rich inclusions (type I) and monophase liquid inclusions (type II).
(4) The ore-forming fluids of the Au and Ag mineralizations were generally presented by low-medium temperatures and low-medium salinities and belong to a NaCl-H 2 O system. Fluid mixing ought to be the main mechanism for the deposition of Au and Ag.
(5) The isotopic data (C, H, O, He, Ar, S, and Pb) showed that the source of fluids in the Changkeng-Fuwan deposit was a mixture of magmatic fluid and meteoric water, and the primary source of the metals may be magmatic fluids.
(6) Integration of the regional geology, ore geology, hydrothermal alteration, fluid inclusion, and the isotope study indicate that the Changkeng-Fuwan Au-Ag deposit belongs to a far-source low temperature magmatic hydrothermal deposit.
