Abstract:More than 200 gold deposits have been found in Jiaodong gold deposits concentration area. The proven gold reserves are nearly 5000t. It is largest gold deposit concentration area in China, and the third in the world. A lot of research work has been carried out on Jiaodong gold deposits. It can be classified into application classification, genetic classification and natural classification. The objects of classification research are from single ore deposit to ore deposit assemblage, and the integration and systematization of classification schemes are getting higher and higher. However, there is not a unified classification scheme so far. In this paper, the history and present situation of classification research of gold deposits in Jiaodong area have been reviewed, and main classification schemes of Jiaodong gold deposits put forward by scholars from the world have been summarized. As a result, a natural classification scheme for Jiaodong gold deposits has been put forward based on the idea of metallogenic series. They are divided into 1 metallogenic series, 2 metallogenic series, 3 metallogenic subseries and 9 deposit types. It is expected to provide some references for the study of metallogenic theory and deep prospecting in Jiaodong gold deposits.
