Abstract:

With complex geologic structure and advantageous mineral formation-conditions, the Xuechuan region has become an attracting mineralization area in Zhejiang Province. A series of mineral exploration and evaluation have been done in this region, but only for single minerals or using monotonous prospecting information. Taking the theory of minerogenetic series of mineral deposits as our guidelines, we preliminarily summarized the metallogenic regularity of mineral deposits in this paper by analyzing the characteristics of geological background, mineral deposits distribution, geophysics and geochemistry, and then extracted the prospecting criterion on geological, geophysical and geochemical information. Finally we built an integrated prospecting forecasting model of Xuechuan Region. Early Cretaceous Epoch granite, fault, special alteration mineral association, negative residual gravity anomaly, aeromagnetic anomaly and geochemical anomaly are all important prospecting criteria. It is concluded that the northeast of Shunxi granite has high prospecting potential.
