The tectonic rock type gold deposit is the most important deposit in the greenstone belt, Tanzania. In the light of geological, geochemical and geophysical characteristics of the typical gold deposit, the authors summed up some geochemical and geophysical techniques proved to be effective in exploration, and preliminarily proposed geophysical and geochemical prospecting method in search for tectonic rock type gold deposits:on the basis of geological survey, geochemical survey was conducted, and geophysical survey was carried out over the geochemical anomalies to delineate the prospecting area; subsequent anomaly inspection, geological evaluation and drilling verification led to the discovery of gold orebodies. The prospecting method will provide scientific basis for the exploration of tectonic rock type gold deposits in the greenstone belt, Tanzania.
