Exploration indication of hidden gold deposits using the fine-grained soil prospecting method and its nano-micron metal migration evidence in the alluvial soil covered area, Jiaodong
Jiaodong stands out among three global provinces boasting gold reserves surpassing 5000 tons. As geological exploration in the region continues to rise, the significance of deep and covered areas in Jiaodong for ore prospecting becomes increasingly evident. In this study, a Fine-grained soil prospecting method was employed in the Qujia hidden gold deposit and its surrounding region, situated in Yantai City, Shandong Province, and concealed by alluvial soil. The gold (Au) content exhibited a high enrichment level, and the range of Au and silver (Ag) geochemical anomalies demonstrated a robust correlation with known hidden orebodies. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy and nano-CT were utilized to identify nano-micron metal particles and micro-fractures in the wall rock. A hereditary relationship between the nano-micron metal particles of ore-forming elements present in surface media and the deep orebody was observed. A migration model detailing the movement of deep ore-forming materials in the form of nano-micron metal particles, governed by a multi-agent relay dominated by ascending geogas flow, was established in the Qujia gold deposit in Jiaodong. These findings contribute theoretical support for the fine-grained soil prospecting method in geochemical exploration within alluvial soil covered areas.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Geochemical Exploration is mostly dedicated to publication of original studies in exploration and environmental geochemistry and related topics.
Contributions considered of prevalent interest for the journal include researches based on the application of innovative methods to:
define the genesis and the evolution of mineral deposits including transfer of elements in large-scale mineralized areas.
analyze complex systems at the boundaries between bio-geochemistry, metal transport and mineral accumulation.
evaluate effects of historical mining activities on the surface environment.
trace pollutant sources and define their fate and transport models in the near-surface and surface environments involving solid, fluid and aerial matrices.
assess and quantify natural and technogenic radioactivity in the environment.
determine geochemical anomalies and set baseline reference values using compositional data analysis, multivariate statistics and geo-spatial analysis.
assess the impacts of anthropogenic contamination on ecosystems and human health at local and regional scale to prioritize and classify risks through deterministic and stochastic approaches.
Papers dedicated to the presentation of newly developed methods in analytical geochemistry to be applied in the field or in laboratory are also within the topics of interest for the journal.
