ABSTRACT: Five gold deposits (mineralization) were
found in the study area by means of geological
mapping, soil geochemical survey and trough exploration engineering. The ore-bearing lithology is mainly metamorphic
feldspar sandstone of the Upper Carboniferous Benbatu Formation, and the gold
(mineralization) body is controlled by both structural factors and stratigraphic factors of the Upper Carboniferous Benbatu
Formation. The genetic type is
preliminary concluded to be volcanic hydrothermal
type, and the metallogenic age is late Variscan. In this paper, by studying the
geological characteristics and metallogenic geological conditions of the gold
orebody in the area, a regional prospecting model has been established, which
is of great significance to better guide the prospecting work of similar gold
deposits in the area and the region.
