]]> The copper-gold deposit in eastern Pochengshan is located in the Fe-Cu-Au-Pb-Zn-Mn-W-Sn metallogenic belt of Cihai-Gongpoquan and the gold-silver 锛圕u-Pb-Zn锛� pyrophyllite metallogenic sub-belt of Pochengshan-Yushishan.Historically锛宎 1鈭�50 000 scale regional geological survey and a 1鈭�50 000 scale mineral survey have been conducted in this area.These surveys have facilitated the preliminary identification of the regional stratigraphic sequence锛宼he chronology of intrusive rocks锛宎nd the interrelationship between structural features and mineralization processes.Additionally锛宼wo comprehensive anomalies have been delineated based on 1鈭�50 000 scale stream sediment analysis.However锛宼he extensive anomalies of gold and copper identified through the sediment survey in the Pochengshan river system have not been thoroughly investigated in previous studies.To further clarify the geochemical characteristics and prospecting potential of gold and copper锛�1鈭�10 000 scale cuttings survey was conducted in the area.R-type cluster analysis and correlation analysis indicate that Au and Cu are the primary metallogenic elements锛宔xhibiting significant metallogenic potential.Based on the metallogenic geological background and the elemental combination characteristics of the study area锛宖our comprehensive anomalies were delineated through a 1鈭�10 000 cuttings survey.Among these anomalies锛宼wo comprehensive anomalies were selected for detailed verification.The Ay-3 anomaly area of 0.48 km虏锛寃ith the primary anomalous element being gold 锛圓u锛夛紝exhibiting a mean concentration of 53.01脳10^-鈦癸紝a peak value of 1 000脳10^-鈦癸紝and a contrast ratio of 17.67.The Ay-4 anomaly area of 0.35 km虏锛寃ith copper 锛圕u锛� as the primary anomalous element锛宻howing a mean concentration of 881.22脳10^-鈦讹紝a peak value of 10 000脳10^-鈦讹紝and a contrast ratio of 27.53.The gold orebody and copper orebody are located in regions 1 and 2锛宺espectively.These orebodies correspond closely with the delineated comprehensive anomaly.Geochemical analysis of rock debris indicates that the area holds significant potential for gold and copper deposits.The newly discovered gold orebody is situated within a fault zone where mylonitized granodiorite is in contact with the wall rock锛宎nd it is controlled by an east-west fault structure.The mylonitized granodiorite may serve as a crucial source for the copper-gold deposit.The contact zone between the late Silurian mylonitized granodiorite and the green mud quartz schist fracture of the ancient Dongjing Group of the Changcheng system is considered as the main prospecting direction in the future.
