Metallogenic characteristics and ore-prospecting future of pre-cambrian gold deposits in Mufu-Jiuling district

Abstract

Mufu-Jiuling district is an important placer gold producing land since the ancient time. In recent years, some primary gold deposits and mineralizations, e. g., Huangjindong and Tulongshan gold deposits, have been found. But the metallogenic conditions and regularities as well as the ore-prospecting future remain to be recognized. Through the study on the metallogenic background and condition, the auriferous source bed and the mineralizing characteristics, three types of primary gold deposits are confirmed to be prospective in this district and some key problems about their prospecting and evaluating are put forward.
