Abstract:

 The Shajingou Gold Deposit is a typical quartz vein-type gold deposit within the Jiapigou gold metallo-genic belt, with known orebodies predominantly of the quartz vein type. In recent years, increasing mining depth has intensified resource depletion, necessitating the discovery of new resources for sustained development. By comparing the Shajingou Gold Deposit with the nearby Erdaogou Gold Deposit, Yunfeng Pb-Zn-Au deposit, and Majiadian Gold Deposit, it is inferred that the Shajingou Gold Deposit has the potential for discovering altered fractured rock-type orebodies. Extensive drilling within and around the mineralized alteration zones 24-1 and 24-2 in the No. 24 mineralized belt led to the discovery of 4 altered fractured rock-type orebodies, labeled 24-1,24-2,24-3, and 26-1. These orebodiescollectively contain 1 300 kg of gold metal with an average grade of 2.9 g/t, marking a significant prospecting break-through. The deep part of orebody 24-1 shows well-developed gold mineralization with extensions along its depth and flanks yet to be fully delineated, indicating potential for medium-to large-scale gold deposits. Based on analyses of ore-controlling structures and primary halos, it is concluded that the deep portion of the Shajingou Gold District holds sig-nificant prospecting potential. This approach provides a valuable exploration strategy for identifying altered fractured rock-type orebodies within the Jiapigou gold metallogenic belt.
