Abstract:
The Yangshan gold deposit in Wenxian County, Gansu Province, is a super-large-scale orogenic gold deposit occurring in the middle section of the Mianxian-Lueyang arcuate suture zone. During the 26-year exploration period, the Anba and Getiaowan mining sections have always been the core mining sections of the Yangshan gold deposit. The Gaoloushan mining section officially entered the census stage in 2021. The aim of this paper is to better understand the deep concealed ore bodies in the mining area and predict its prospecting potential. The research results show that the axial(vertical)zoning sequence of the ore-forming and associated elements in the No. 69 exploration line profile of the Gaoloushan mining section is: Cu-As-Pb-Zn-Mn-Co-Ag-Au-Sb-Mo-Bi. Two deep prospecting target areas are delineated. At an elevation of 1 850 m, the front halo of No.213 vein still exists, and with the increase of depth, the intensity of the front halo continues to strengthen, indicating that the ore body is extending deeper. At an elevation of 1 750 m, the enhancement of the front halo is more significant, suggesting the possible presence of hidden ore bodies at depth. In addition, based on the analysis of the construction superposition halo of three drill holes in the No.69 exploration line, a new structural control model for the Yangshan gold deposit(the nappe complex fold structure control)is proposed. The occurrence characteristics of phyllite, fault, rock mass and ore (mineralization) body in the ZK4901 core are analyzed using statistical analysis methods to further confirm this model. It is believed that the Yangshan gold deposit is mainly controlled by the inverse fault structure, with the ore-bearing structure mainly inclined to the north and locally constrained by folding. Magmatic rocks occur along the fault zone, forming ore(mineralization)bodies. The ore(mineralization) body output types are divided into "2 categories and 5 subcategories" according to the presence or absence of magmatic mineralization. It is pointed out that magmatic hydrothermal fluids are closely related to mineralization, but high-grade ore bodies are mainly distributed in phyllite. This will provide important reference for future exploration and mining.
