Exploration potential analysis and exploration methods for the junction of Xicheng and Fengtai mining areas
In recent years,significant achievements have been made in mineral exploration in the Xicheng and Fengtai ore clusters located in the southern Qinling Mountains.Among them,the Guojiagou ultra large hidden lead-zinc deposit was discovered in the eastern extension of the Luoba lead-zinc deposit in the Xicheng ore cluster,and a large-scale lead-zinc ore body was found in the deep part of the Qiandongshan Dongtangzi lead-zinc deposit at the western end of the Fengtai ore cluster.By comparing the geological characteristics,ore body characteristics,ore controlling factors,enrichment patterns,and ore-forming ages of the two mining areas,it is believed that the geological characteristics of the two areas are basically consistent.The lead zinc deposits have the same direction,extend in opposite directions,and may be connected in the deep.The joint area has certain potential for mineral exploration.Drawing on the successful exploration experience of the Xicheng and Fengtai mining areas,it is recommended to use wide-area electromagnetic methods and drilling methods for exploration in their deep areas.
