Abstract

Abstract

Mahuagou gold ore deposit is a mesothermal-epithermal one controlled by ductile-brittle shear zone.It is characterized spatially by zoning,equidistant distribution and selfsimilarity of the mineralization across the zone,and temporally by pulsation and succession.A search for the most likely location has been carried out on the Au-9 anomalous geochemical area in the third level(C-level)based on the above metallogenetic regularity.It may serve as a guide for the prediction of gold of the shear zone-type and related types in Mahuagou and other areas.
