Abstract:Gold deposit in northern offshore Sanshandao area locates in northeastern part of Sanshandao metallogenic belt in Jiaodong area. It is an super large fractural and altered type gold deposit. Ore bodies all occurred in offshore. It has the characteristics of large scale, good continuity and low grade variation. As part of national first monoblock exploration areas, especially being the first offshore deep exploration, exploration work has been paid more attention and support. Detailed survey work in major target areas have been finished in one year. It initiates offshore gold exploration in China, and is a systematic exploration shifting from reconnaissance to general exploration based on comprehensive analysis of ore field mineralization conditions and prospecting potentiality. The exploration work has short cycle, large scale, rich achievements and favorable effects. It will provide some references for solid metal exploration in the future
