Abstract:
To evaluate the resource potential of the Jinchanshan mining area, this study conducted analysis and tests of metal element content in soil samples from two geochemical profiles using the electro-adsorption method. By combining the geological conditions of the mining area, this study revealed pronounced positive geochemical anomalies of Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, and Zn above the known gold deposits. The anomalous areas corresponded well with deposits, confirming the effectiveness and feasibility of the electro-adsorption method in the study area. The study identified geochemical anomalies Ⅰ and Ⅱ to the west of the Guaibanggou-Yangpo-Xiaoxigou mineralization zone in the first geochemical profile. Along the second profile, located between the Guaibanggou-Yangpo-Xiaoxigou and Nandawa-Limazigou-Loufengmao mineralization zones, anomalies Ⅲ and Ⅳ were observed at the westernmost end. The comprehensive geological analysis of the mining area indicates that the Ⅰ and Ⅲ anomaly zones exhibit favorable geological conditions for mineralization, serving as play fairways. The play fairway prediction conducted in this study provides targets for future exploration in the mining area.
