Primary fluid inclusions are often seen in main gold mineralization stages, which are almost pure CO2 liquid inclusions (LCO2) under room tem- perature with high densities of 0.85—1.07 g/cm3. CO2-rich inclusions (LCO2-LH2O) and H2O-rich inclusions (LH2O-LCO2) are subordinate. Fluid inclusions in stage Ⅰ (polymetallic sulfide stage) are more complex than in stage Ⅱ, containing CO2-CH4 system with ?78.1—?61.9℃of solid CO2 melting temperatures and ?33.7—?17.7℃ of partial homogenization temperatures.
