Soil Geochemical Anomalies and Gold Prospecting of the Santaizi Area in the Wudang Uplift,South Qinling Mountains
The Santaizi Area is located in the Desheng-Baoxia Au-Ag polymetallic metallogenic belt of the Wudang uplift,South Qinling Mountains,where the geological conditions for mineralization are favorable.Based on 1∶10,000 soil geochemical profile surveys,two Au anomalous high-value zones have been determined.Some anomalies are characterized by large scale,high intensity,good continuity and combination.Further trenching exposures revealed that the Santaizi gold ore bodies occur in the schists of the Wudang Group and are closely related to regional tectonic activities.Integrating the geochemical anomalies,regional metallogenic setting and geological features of the ore deposit,this paper proposed that the Santaizi area has great potential for gold prospecting.
