The Donggou gold deposit lies in the eastern part of the GuanzizhenLiziyuan structural belt within West Qinling Mountains. Ore bodies are hosted in SinianOrdovician metamorphosed volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks and controlled strictly by regional ductile shear zone, with the secondorder fault being the main orehosting structure. Based on an analysis of the geochemical characteristics, gold oreforming conditions and oreprospecting criteria of the ore district, the author found Donggou and Erhuanggou gold ore spots and several gold mineralized spots within the limits of the anomalies, revealing good oreprospecting vista. The element association of the ore comprises mainly Au and Ag, and Ag, Cu, Sb, Hg and Bi can serve as indicator elements in ore exploration.
