Objective The North China Craton(NCC)is a large Archean craton with a long geological history,yet very few studies have been carried out on the evolution of the redox conditions of its underlying mantle.Oxidation state of the mantle is critical in controlling the formation of metallic mineral deposits because metals can be readily released from the mantle to partial melt under oxidized conditions.
