Abstract According to 1:10000 geological survey and 1:1000 geological profile survey in the study area,the authors summed up the lithologic combination and sedimentary characteristics, the basic structure framework, the main ore-control structures and the evolution history. On such a basis and by using the tectono-geochemical prospecting method, the authors have reached the following conclusions: The NE-and nearly EW-trending fractural structures formed the main structural framework in this area. From early to late, the tectonic evolution of this area can be divided into four stages, namely the NW-SE compression (pre-metallogenic), the S-N compression (pre-metallogenic), the NW-SE extension (metallogenic) and NW-SE extension (metallogenic). Factor analysis and correspondence analysis show that both Shangxi Group and quartz veins are rich in iron group elements such as Cr, Ni, Co, V and Ti, suggesting that there exists a definite affinity in their composition. Au is strongly correlated to As in quartz veins, and As is likely to act as an ore-forming medium in gold mineralization. The utilization of the fractal method to study the fractal texture of gold content in different geological bodies has been studied in this paper. The fractal textures of magmatic rocks and quartz veins are simple. Their fractal dimension values are of three sections, and those of Shangxi Group are of five sections. Factor score contour diagram indicates that the high score sections of F1 factor(Cr, Ni, V, Ti, Co)are consistent with the distribution areas of magmatic rocks. The high score sections of the metallogenic elements are controlled by NE- and nearly EW-trending geological structures. It is obvious that the WE-trending fracture is the key section for further gold ore-prospecting work. Gold deposits in this area are mainly of the types of gold-bearing quartz veins and interstratified fracture zone. Shangxi Group was probably the source of metallogenic substance for gold mineralization in this area, magma mainly offered heat, and geological structures acted as mechanism of metallogenic action and favorable metallogenic environment as well as ore concentration space.
