To study the effectiveness of CO2 gas measurement method in the exploration for concealed mineral deposits in hilly areas,the authors carried out pilot study and area study by employing CO2 gas measurement with rapid gas analytical techniques at Jinmei ore block and Lishuping ore block of Huangjindong mining area,respectively. The results indicate that CO2 gas measurement method can discover the information around deeply buried mineral deposits and deep-seated structures. Having delineated three prospecting target areas for Lishuping ore block, it is proved to have important practical significance and can accumulate data and experience for concealed mineral exploration in covered areas.
