With the development of new technology, methods and instruments for analysis of fluid inclusions in minerals have been rapidly renovated in recent decades. Information extracted from fluid inclusions has been widely used to interpret diverse geological processes, owing to the presentation of the fluids in inclusions, especially the primary inclusions, to the palaeo-geological environment. In this paper, the authors review the application of the P-T-V-X properties of fluid inclusions extracted by various analytical methods of gold deposits and discuss the application of various instruments and methods on the extraction and analysis of inclusion fluids as well as their advantages and disadvantages during their application. And finally a review of the interpretation approaches of fluid inclusion data is given.
