Abstract Zambia possesses very rich mineral resources; nevertheless, in the past work, prospecting focused only on copper, cobalt and gemstone deposits, whereas the attention to gold deposits was very insufficient. Based on 1:10 000 soil geochemical survey, the authors conducted detailed soil geochemical survey in the Shiganda ore district in Northwest Province of Zambia. Through studying element distribution characteristics, individual element anomaly features, element correlation, and multiplicative combinational anomalies of related elements, the authors determined Au and Cu as the target ore species elements in the study area, and delineated the next-step prospecting target area.
