Xilaokou gold deposit is located in the northern margin of Jiaolai basin. The basinmarginal faults developed well in this area. The ore controlling structures are mainly essional torsional faults with the trend of EW and decollement structures with the trend of NE. The formation of ore controlling faults is controlled by dynamics background during the transformation of late Mesozoic tectonic regime. Under the compression of horizontal stress of the subduction from late Jurassic Pacific plate, Kula plate toEurasian plate, obvious sinistral strike slip occurred in Muping Jimo fault zone. Fault structures with the trend of EW has been formed in the mine. In the late period, due to tensioned activities, it showed as a tensional ore hosting structure. The fault structure with the trend of NE is formed in tectonic environment of extensional activity during the early Cretaceous tectonic system. It plays an important ore controlling role in the mineralization process.
