The Xinfang gold deposit resides in the gold polymetallic ore concentration area in eastern Liaoning Province. Based on regional metallogenic patterns and existing exploration results, the southern part of the Yalu River fault zone, where the Xinfang gold deposit is located, shows significant potential for gold resources. As exploration progresses, more gold ore bodies are expected to be discovered in the gold deposit area. However, the lack of effective deep exploration techniques limits further exploration and exploitation in the area, failing to effectively reveal the extensions of lithological boundaries and the distributions of fault structures in the area. This study presented the first application of the wide-field electromagnetic method in the area. Based on the obtained results and geological engineering information, this study delineated the electrical layers within a depth of 3 km, determining the thickness of the Neoproterozoic cap rocks and inferring several fault zones. Combined with existing geological data, this study identified the low-resistivity anomaly zone at a depth of about 1 km as an extensional structural plane caused by ductile shearing. Overall, this study provides valuable geophysical data for establishing a geological prospecting model for eastern Liaoning Province, holding significant research value for geological and mineral exploration in the area.
