Abstract:

Erdaogou gold deposit in Liaoning Province is a magmatic-hydrothermal deposit hosted in continental volcanic rocks, orebodies are strictly controlled by structures. In order to study the characteristics of structural superimposed halos and predict the extension of No.1 and No.3 orebodies, this paper systematically studied the characteristic indicator elements, structural superimposed halos axial zoning sequences, anomaly threshold and geochemical parameters of the samples at the 450 m to -305 m depth. The results show that the indicator elements are Sb and Hg for front-ore halos, Au, Ag, Cu and Pb for near-ore halos, Co and Ni for late-ore halos, respectively. From top to bottom, the axial zoning of superimposed halos are Co→Sb→Cu→Au→Hg→Ni→Pb→Ag for No.1 orebody, Ag and Cu→Hg→Au→Pb→Sb→Co and Ni for No.3 orebody. These geochemical parameters indicate that the No.1 orebody was respectively superimposed at 370 m, 130 m, -215 m depth and the No.3 orebody was superimposed at -125 m, -215 m depth,based on this, we established the ideal models of structural superimposed halos. The anomaly characteristic map of structural superimposed halos shows that the anomaly intensity of front-ore halos and near-ore halos are large, while late-ore halos are small of No.1 orebody at -215 m depth. The anomaly intensity of front-ore halo, near-ore halo and late-ore halo of No.3 orebody are larger at -215 m depth. To sum up, we deduce that the No.1 orebody still has a great extension below -215 m depth, while the No.3 orebody has a certain extension deep down.
