The source and evolution of ore-forming fluids is important to understand the genesis of Carlin-type gold deposit. Constraints on the source and evolution of ore fluid components by the conventional geochemical methods have long been a challenge due to the very fine-grained nature and complex textures of hydrothermal minerals in these deposits. In this study, we present the crush-leach analyzed solute data of fluid inclusion extracts within quartz, calcite, realgar, and fluorite from the Shuiyindong, Nibao, and Yata gold deposits in the Youjiang Basin, providing new insights into the source and evolution of ore-forming fluids. The results show that the high molar Cl/Br ratios up to 2 508 in fluid inclusion extracts are indicative of a contribution of magmatic hydrothermal fluids. Fluids mixing between basinal and magmatic-hydrothermal fluids are evident on the plots of Cl/Br versus Na/K ratios, showing that ore-stage milky quartz near the magmatic-hydrothermal fluids reflects magma origin of the ore-forming fluids, whereas late ore-stage drusy quartz and realgar near the defined basinal fluids suggest the later input of basinal fluids in late-ore stage. Although the predominately host rocks in Shuiyindong, Nibao and Yata gold deposit are bioclastic limestone, sedimentary tuff, and calcareous siltstone, respectively, the solute data of fluid inclusion extracts records they underwent the similar fluid-rocks reactions between the Na-rich magmatic hydrothermal fluids and the Ca- and Mg-rich host rocks. This study highlights the solute data of fluid inclusion extracts obtained by crush-leach analyses have the potential to fingerprint the source and evolution of ore-forming fluids of the Carlin-type gold deposit.
