The Huangchengshan silver deposit is a mesothermalepithermal ore deposit. The summarization of the oreforming conditions and geochemical characteristics of this kind of silver deposits is of great significance in enriching their research and service field. Based on an analysis of their oreforming background and geochemical anomalies, the authors established their geological-geochemical oreprospecting criteria with the purpose of serving the evaluation of this kind of silver deposits.
