Yingfeng Area is located within Shiquan-Xunyang National-level Gold Deposit Exploration Area in Shaanxi Province,characterized by favorable metallogenic geological conditions and promising prospecting potential.A 1∶25 000 soil geochemical survey was conducted,analyzing the variation coefficients,correlations,and cluster analysis of 10 elements.The results indicate that the distribution of Au is uneven,with a high degree of dispersion,identifying it as the primary ore-forming element.By studying Au anomalies and comprehensive anomalies in conjunction with metallogenic geological conditions and mineralization characteristics,5 gold alteration zones were delineated.Verification through geochemical profiles,trench exploration,and drilling projects resulted in the delineation of 17 gold ore (mineralized) bodies,further confirming the area’s promising prospecting potential.
