Abstract:The Huangdanchong metal mining area is a goldbased metalforming area associated with the mineralization of copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum, arsenic, silver and some other elements. The study area with complex geological condition has a strong geological activity. On the basis of geological datas and ETM+ image interpretation in Zhaoping county, combining with comprehensive analysis on remote sensing and geochemical information, a series of ore prospecting work have been carried out in this area. Based on MapGIS 6.7 and Surfer 8.0 softwards, three prospecting prediction areas have been finally circled.
