Abstract: Zaozigou Gold Deposit is located in the Xiahe-Hezuo area of the West Qinling orogenic belt,and is one of the most economically valuable gold deposits in this area and even the entire West Qinling orogenic belt.Based on recent geological discoveries in the exploration of Zaozigou Gold Deposit,the geological and mineralization characteristics of the deposit were systematically summarized.Combining previous geochronological data,2 types of gold mine-ralization,namely the micro-fine dissemination narrow-vein arsenopyrite-pyrite type and the vein quartz-stibnite type,were discussed in terms of their metallogenic ages and deposit genesis,indicating a significant difference in their metallogenic ages,suggesting the possible existence of different source areas.The 2 types of gold mineralization at Zaozigou Gold Deposit show good prospecting potential in the areas with developed fractures around shallow rock bodies and on areas with low-angle fractures at depth,highlighting the importance of focusing on these areas for future prospecting exploration.
