Abstract:Sanshandao gold deposit locates in the SanshandaoCangshang Mineralization fault zone in northwest of Guojialing mantle branch structures. Through detailed analysis on mineralization of Sanshandao gold deposit, it is regarded that gold orecontrolling structure is Sanshandao fault. It is a countertendency listric fautle developed in decoupling detachment belt of Guojialing peripheral mantle branch structure. Mantlederived oreforming fluid transferred through the ductile shear zone of mantle branch structure axis, and under favourable temperature and pressure, it will be transferred to Sanshaodao fault of peripheral mantle branch. When oreforming fluid under the migration and reduction environment met atmospheric precipitation under the downward penetrating oxidizing environment, strong oxidationreduction reaction can be happened and concentrated into deposit. In this paper, metallogenic regularity of Sanshandao gold deposit has been discussed, mineralization mode has been set up, and ore prospecting direction has been put forward as well.
