Abstract:

The Yangtze River’s middle and lower reaches are important Cu (Au) metallogenic belts in China. Tongling ore concentration area of Anhui Province is located in the belt and it is also a deep mineral exploration demonstration district in China. The study area (Jiaochong gold deposit) is located in a favorable prospecting zone at the southwest of Shizishan ore field in Tongling district. In this paper, the three-dimensional models of orebodies, Au-bearing rocks and lithologic strata in the study area are constructed using GOCAD modeling method, which is based on the middle section of -420 m to -820 m levels and drillhole dataset in Jiaochong gold deposit. Geological characteristics, the thermoelectricity features of pyrite as regularity of Au-bearing standard mineral were analyzed, and two prospecting targets were identified. The research results have an important reference for the deep mineral exploration and mining in the Yangtze River’s middle and lower reaches.

Key words: 3D geological modeling, GOCAD software, thermoelectricity of pyrite, space analysis, gold deposit, Tong-ling ore concentration area
