There are widelydistributed sedimentary rocks in Guizhou, especially in central Guizhou. In

western Guizhou, large areas of Permian basalts are exposed at surface together with sporadic diabase, and

in the southeastern part of eastern Guizhou, extensivelyexposed metamorphic rocks are seen with sporadic

basicultrabasic rocks in between. Gigantic Xuefengian granite batholiths occur from the GuizhouGuangxi

border area to Guangxi. There locally exist granites of Wuling period in northeastern Guizhou, forming a

mysterious distribution map of strata and intrusive bodies on the YunnanGuizhou plateau. Large amounts of

Al, P, Au, PbZn, Hg and coal deposits have already been discovered, forming one of the important ore

prospect areas in Southwest China. Nevertheless, intermediateacid intrusive bodies related to mesothermal

epithermal ore resources are hardly seen at surface in Guizhou Province, with only very few bodies

exposed in Fanjingshan (Wulingyuan) area.
