Metallogenic Types and Prospecting Direction of Gold Deposits in Bogda and Harlik Area, Xinjiang

Combined with the mineralization characteristics of gold deposits in Bogda and Harlik area of Xinjiang, the discovered gold deposits are divided into four main types: ductile shear zone type, volcanic hydrothermal type, magmatic hydrothermal type and sedimentary type gold deposits. The paper analyzed the ore-controlling roles of tectonic environments, stratigraphic construction, faults, intrusive rocks and geochemical anomalies in the region, and then summarized the mineralization conditions of gold deposits, together with the metallogenic regularity and evolution process in time and space, to indicate ore-controlling factors and prospecting criteria of various types of gold, and will show a way for gold exploration in the study area in the future.
