Several individual particle native golds were observed in two Mesozoic Group II kimberlites dikes in the southeastern margin of North China Craton (NCC). This discovery provides new information of the nature of the Mesozoic lithospheric mantle beneath the southeastern NCC, the metallogenic setting of gold deposits in the Jiaodong peninsula and the metallogenic theory of decratonic gold deposits.
