Abstract: | Wulonggou deposit is a large tectonoalteration gold deposit which is discovered in 1980s in East Kunlun area of Qinghai Province. The ore bodies occur in the rock series of metamorphic basement of Lower Proterozoic and granitoid Variscan to Lower Mesozoic. The shape, attitude and scale of the ore bodies are strictly controlled by the tectonoalteration belts, which show a typical characteristic of tectonoalteration deposits. A detailed discussion on typical deposits could also contribute to the evaluation of the regional gold metallogenic potential in East Kunlun area, and provide a direction for further gold prospecting between and/or near Kunzhong and Kunnan faults, and in areas of granitoid distribution of Variscan and Lower Mesozoic. |
