Abstract: The Dawolong area is located in the Xiariha-Shiduolong Fe-Pb-Zn-Ag-Sn-Mo-wollastonite-dolomite metallogenic subzone, which is one of the main metallogenic belts of the iron polymetallic ore deposits in Qinghai Province. Less previous researches are focused on the genesis, ore-controlling factors and prospecting signs of these deposits. How to make breakthrough a new round of prospecting has become a key issue in current deposit research. Based on the discussion of the ore-forming geological structure background, the data of previous geological exploration has been systematically collected and studied, the geological characteristics of the mineral deposits (occurrences) have been studied, and the metallogenic regularity and ore-controlling geological factors and prospecting prospects of the mining area have been analyzed in this paper. It is considered that the prospecting conditions of the hydrothermal minerals in this mining area are favorable, and the structurally controlled (magma) hydrothermal deposits are the focus of future prospecting.
