Abstract:Major breakthroughs of geological survey and mineral explorations have been made in the Qinling region since the beginning of comprehensive geological survey, and Qinling region has became a promising mineral exploration region inChina. In order to have a better deployment for future works and promote the integrated studies of regional metallogenic regularities, as well as outline the metallogenic regions, this paper revised the boundary of Au- Pb- Zn metallogenic belt in the Qinling region, and established the metallogenic series and association in this region. In the Indosinian, Au, Pb, and Zn deposits formed abundantly. Carlin gold deposits, Orogenic gold deposits, Sedimentary exhalative and deformed Pb- Zn deposits, VMS Cu polymetallic deposits, epithermal vein type Hg- Sb deposits, and intrusion related hydrothermal Cu pllymetallic deposits have been collectively considered as major deposit types to be discovered in the future. Combined with the latest findings of assessment of mineral exploration potentials and development of regional exploration, we have outlined 20 places with well exploration potential, eight of which should be given major concerns, the rest deserves less but still certain attentions. We propose the Au, Pb, Zn, and Cu, and Carlin deposits, Orogenic gold deposits, Sedimentary exhalative and deformed Pb- Zn deposits, and intrusion related hydrothermal Cu pllymetallic deposits should be given priorities in the next stage of geological survey of mineral deposits.
