In this study, newest seismic studies indicated that there is upwelling mantle plume in the North China Craton (NCC) and mantle upwelling in the South China Block (SCB). Through comprehensive analysis. It is suggested that that gold mineralization in the NCC might be linked to a Mesozoic mantle plume while metallogenesis in the SCB might be related to Mesozoic mantle upwelling.
