Abstract:

The Yongxin gold deposit,which was recently discovered in the Nenjiang-Heihe mélange zone, Heilongjiang Province, is a large fracture controlled alteration type gold deposit in Duobaoshan gold-copper metallogenic belt. The ore minerals are composed mainly of petzite, calaverite, native gold, minor sulfides and minor oxide. According to the linear analyses between the thickness of potassium feldspathization zone, sericitization zone, silicification zone and ore-bodies, the thicknesses of the potassium feldspathization zone and silicification zone are positively correlated with ore body thickness. The thickness relation between sericitization zone and ore body are negative. According to the quantitative assessment and the chart of the horizontal projection of the alteration zones, sericitization, potassium feldspathization and silicification zones occurred respectively in the direction from SE to NW, like a “step”. The thicknesses of the potassium feldspathization zone, sericitization zone and silicification zone have a certain corresponding relationship in each “step”. The source of the ore-forming fluid of the deposit is inferred by the authors at the northwest depth, and good prospecting potential in that direction is suggested.

Key words: Yongxin gold deposit in Heilongjiang Province, quantitative and positioning assessment, thicknesses of the alteration zones and ore body, ore prospecting
