The Shuiyindong Carlin-like gold deposit, the largest one of this type in China, is located in the Late Paleozoic–Early Mesozoic Youjiang basin. The pyrites in the studied ore bodies (No. I to V) can be divided into four main types plus several sub-types: (1) As-poor pyrites include Py1 (Py1a and Py...
