Abstract:

The Mianlueyang triangle area is an important polymetallic ore concentration area in the south of Shaanxi Province. The Waziping survey area is located in the eastern part of the Mianluekang structural melange metallogenic belt, silver-lead-zinc has high background, rich mineral sources and favorable geological conditions. On the basis of 1:25,000 soil geochemical survey in the whole region, 12 elements of Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn, Co, As, W, Ni, Cr, P and Mn were studied by means of multivariate statistical method. The geochemical characteristic parameters, element correlation, element distribution and single element anomaly characteristics were analyzed. In this paper, the law of element combination,enrichment dilution and the corresponding relationship between each element and its geological background are summarized. Combined with the information of metallogenic geological structure background and known ore spots in the area, 14 comprehensive anomalies are delineated, and three prospecting targets are optimized. Through the verification of typical anomalies, the channel exploration project is used to expose them, 6 alteration zones and 13 ore bodies are found in this area, which shows that this method has a good prospecting application value in this area.

Key words: soil geochemical survey, geochemical characteristics, prospecting target, Waziping district, Mianlueyang triangle area
