The Chenjiazhangzhi gold deposit is a porphyry gold polymetallic deposit discovered by 1∶50000 geochemical exploration.The characteristics of its geochemical anomaly can be used as indicators in search for similar deposits in this area.The eastern part of the ore district might still have concealed polymetallic deposits. Soil survey should be adopted in such soil overburden areas.The discovery of this gold deposit demonstrates the great potential of the traditional methods in finding new deposits in central and western China.
