A study of the relationship between physical properties of rocks and pri-mary anomalies was conducted in the Xianghualing tin, lead and zinc polyme-tallic ore district in Hunan Province, and physical and chemical analysis wasmade for 153 samples from the ore-related Laiziling rock body and Jianfenglingrock body as well as their wall rocks. As a result, four physical parameters(density σ, magnetic susceptibility k, residual magnetization Jr and a specificratio Q) and contents of seven metallogenic elements (Pb, Zn, W, Sn, Ag, Moand Be) have been obtained. Studies reveal the existence of obvious correlationbetween physical parameters and element contents, and their anomalies arein good conformity. Such correlation can therefore be used to perform geologi-cal exploration and metallogenic prognosis.
