The Huangchengshan silver deposit is a mesothermalepithermal ore deposit. The summarization of the oreforming conditions and geochemical characteristics of this kind of silver deposits is of great significance in enriching their research and service field. Based on an analysis of their oreforming background and geochemical anomalies, the authors established their geological-geochemical oreprospecting criteria with the purpose of serving the evaluation of this kind of silver deposits.
