仓上金矿位于三山岛—仓上断裂西南部，西邻渤海湾，是我国大型露天金矿之一。至2005年闭坑后，在矿山外围及深部找矿一直未取得新进展。为加大勘探深度，探查矿区外围和深部断裂及岩体的空间展布情况，寻找深部金矿资源，采用CSAMT方法在该区开展了测深剖面勘查工作，并与以往的物探资料及331号地质剖面进行了综合对比分析，结果显示F1推断断层与三山岛—仓上断裂相吻合，提出验证钻孔1个。经钻探工程验证见金矿体，取得了较好的应用找矿效果，为下一步开展地质找矿提供了有价值的地球物理信息依据。

There are abundant gold resources in Jiaodong area, which are mainly controlled by Sanshandao-Cangshang fault, Jiaojia fault and Zhaoping fault.Three major gold metallogenic belts were formed in the area, where several large and super-large gold deposits have been found. Jiaodong area has provided a large amount of gold reserves, and it’s an significant gold concentration area and gold industrial base in China.The main research area in this paper is Cangshang gold deposit,which located in southwest of Sanshandao-Cangshang fault that adjacent to the Bohai Bay.It is one of the large open-air gold deposit in China. Since Cangshang gold deposit closure in 2005,Shandong Gold Group,many geological exploration agencies and scientific research institutes have conducted a lot of prospecting work around the mine,but no new progress has been made in prospecting.In order to find out the spatial distribution of the fault and rock mass in the depth and periphery of the mining area,and search for deep gold resources, geophysical exploration method was used to conduct deep exploration in the area,and the conventional electrical and magnetic exploration was compared with CSAMT (Controlled Source Audio-Frequency Magnetotellurics).The conventional electric and magnetic exploration is difficult to meet the needs of exploration because the the depth of conventional electric and magnetic exploration is relatively shallow,and the results are reflected on the plane.CSAMT was choose to conduct deep profile exploration in the area.Field construction was carried out in the northern part of the mining area, and two CSAMT sounding sections were arranged along the vertical direction of the Cangshang fault,numbered L4000 and L4300. The length of L4000 section was 1 440 m,and L4300 section was 1 160 m,line distance was 300 m,point distance was 40 m and azimuth angle was 120°.The emission dipole sources AB were arranged in parallel lines in the northeast.The dipole distance of AB was 1.2 km, the receiving dipole distance of MN was 40 m,the receiving and transmitting distance was 5 km, and the detection depth was 1 km.The frequency acquisition range was 1～7 680 Hz,with a total of 40 frequency points.In order to ensure the quality of data acquisition and reduce human interference,a 21 KAV high-power generator was used for power supply.The low frequency current (1 Hz) was not less than 18 A,the high frequency current (7 680 Hz) was not less than 5 A,and the current at intermediate frequency was decreasing.Data processing and inversion were carried out by using software CMTPro and CSAMT-SW V3.0.The data processing included data preprocessing,trip point removal,near-field source correction,static correction and two-dimensional joint inversion.Finally,a map was drawn and the inversion results were compared and analyzed comprehensively with previous geophysical prospecting data and geological profile 331.The inversion results of CSAMT showed that the resistivity characteristics of strata and rock mass were basically consistent with those of conventional electrical methods, and the inferred fault F1 was consistent with Sanshandao-Cangshang fault,indicating that this method has good application effect in this area.In order to verify the low-resistance abnormal zone (F1 fault),a verification borehole was deployed at the corresponding surface location.Through the verification of drilling project,fault mud,weak sericitization granite cataclastic rocks,cataclastic granite rocks and sericitization granite cataclastic rocks were found at the depth of 776.25 ～829.70 m,corresponding to the low-resistance abnormal zone (F1 fault).Gold orebodies were found in sericitization granitic cataclastic rocks,the highest grade is 7.30×10^-6 after assay.In summary，good prospecting results are achieved while applying to the field geological exploration work，and will provide valuable geophysical information basis for further geological prospecting.
