Abstract:

Mengweng area of Yunnan Province is located at the southern end of Lincang-Menghai rare earth-polymetallic mineralization subzone, where granite weathering crust is well developed and rare earth mineralization conditions are favorable.In order to coordinate the geological survey of the mineral resources in the area and narrow the scope of prospecting, 1:50,000 stream sediment survey for rare earth minerals was carried out in the area, this paper summarizes the geochemistry distribution, enrichment, element combination and anomaly of 29 elements, including La, Y and Zr, and delineates the comprehensive anomaly.The analysis shows that La, Y, Zr, W, Sn and Au are the main ore-forming elements in the area.The anomaly of La, Y and other related elements such as F, P are well nested, and its abnormal characteristics are obvious.On the basis of the mea-surement of stream sediments, the work of anomaly verification and mineral inspection was carried out, and delineation of three prospecting targets, one of them was transformed into a newly discovered ore producing area, and good prospecting results have been obtained.
