Abstract:Based on stream sediment measurement of Sanchading area with the scale of 1∶50000, geochemical characteristics and the relationships between 16 elements have been studied, they are Au,Ag,Cu,Pb,Zn,W,Sn,Mo,As,Bi,Sb,Cr,Ni,Co,Hg and Cd. It is regarded that the enrichment of elements has obvious relation with the formation, strutures and magmatic rocks. The coefficient of variation of Hg,Cr,Ni,W,As,Au,Pb and Zn is large, which is easy to form abnormal. Ag,As,Au,Co,Cr,Cu,Hg,Ni,Sb,Zn are enriched to varying degrees with high metallogenic possibility. Based on the factor analysis, six representative factors combination types have been extracted, and the spatial distribution characteristics of each element has been studied. 31 comprehensive geochemical anomaly have been circled based on anomaly verification. Combining with regional metallogenic geological conditions and geological characterisitcs, three ore prospecting areas have been circled, they are Hanningquan Cr-Co-Ni-Cu prospecting area, Huangshahedong Cu-Ag-Mo-Pb polymetallic prospecting area and Yueyawan Cu-Ag-Pb-Zn polymetallic prospecting area. It will provide gochemical basis for the direction of prospecting work in the future.
