Abstract:The hydrothermal gold deposit is always accompanied by wall rock alteration, which is of great significance for gold exploration. It is found that the wall rock alterations closely associated with the hydrothermal gold deposit include silicification, potassic alteration, albitization, carbonation, chloritization and propylitization, as shown by summary of different types of hydrothermal gold deposits. This paper has emphatically discussed the geochemical characteristics of silicification, potassic alteration, albitization, and carbonatation, and the reasons why gold mineralization is associated closely with these alterations. Alteration zoning of hydrothermal gold deposits is also briefly discussed.
