Source characteristics and fluid evolution of the Beiyingxigou Pb-Zn-Ag deposit, central North China Craton: An integrated stable isotope investigation

► Isotope data provide insights on source of mineralizing fluids and metals. ► Metallogen characterized by interaction with, and input from, the basement rocks. ► Hydrothermal fluids represented by a mixture of both magmatic and meteoric water. ► Metallogeny linked with Mesozoic magmatism in the North China Craton.
