Geological characteristics of mineralization and ore-hunting evidences of Fushui gold ore belt,southeast Hubei province

This paper introduces the regional geology,stratigraphy and structure of Fushui gold ore belt,Southeast Hubei Province,and geological characteristics of the typical gold deposit in the ore belt.The deposit is of middle-lower temperature thermal brine leached gold deposit-Carlin type gold deposit.The gold presents itself as micrograined disseminated type gold which can not be observed by either naked eye or optical microscope.According to the distribution and occurrence of the ore bodies in the ore belt and combining with the distribution of geochemical anomalies,the ore-hunting evidences of the gold ore belt are summarized in the paper.
