The Geological Characterisitcs of Gold Mineralization in Ghina
中国金矿地质构造背景和成矿环境特征简介

China is tectonically located at the intersection of Eurasian ,Pacific and Indian plates. In terms ofits regional metallization setting,China can be divided into Paleo-Asian,marginal-Pacific domain andTethyan-Himalayan moga-provinces with different evolution history and mineralization characteris-tics.The mineralization background for gold deposits in China is various. The types of gold depositsare complex and characterized by active continental crust mineralization. The time and space distribu-tion of guld deposits varies from arca to area.Hydrothermal gold depeits are mcatly epigenitic in char-acter. The most important type of depeit is Linglong-Jiaojia type in metasomatic granitic complex,followed by quartz vein type and mylonitized zone type in Precambrian metamophic rocks. Fine im-ptegration type and volcanic hydrothermal type gold deposits are also potential.The proportion of goldresources is:51.7%primary gold,31.48% by-preduct gold and 16.76%placer gold.
