Abstract:The Jiulongnao orefield is located in the ChongyiDayuShangyou ore concentration area in the east section of the Nanling Region. With advantageous minerogenetic condition, Jiulongnao orefield possesses different types of deposits. These deposits of skarntype, hydrothermal veintype, greisenstype, fracture zone alteration rocktype and weathering crusttype, form a mineralization framework with Jiulongnao granite as the center, WSn dominated, AuAgCuPbZnUNbTa zoned distribation. It is representative in Nanling Region and even in Southern China. Based on research of magmatism and mineralization of the Jiulongnao orefield, we suggest that different types of deposits are closely related to the Jiulongnao granite on oreforming material source. These deposits distribute in lines in the zonal and warpwise directions, and most of them formed during the Yanshanian Period, while individual one formed during the Indosinian Period. Deposits in the Jiulongnao orefield might belong to either different minerogenetic series or subseries, or different types of mineral resources. In addition, prospecting methodology has been put forward as to①prospecting and prediction at deep part of known deposits; ②evaluating the prospecting potential of deposits in inner and external zones; ③determining direction and expanding domain of exploration by comprehensive assessment based on concomitant regularity; ④putting successful prospecting experience of neighbouring orefield into practice on the basement of regional metallogenic regularity; ⑤developing new prospecting ideas.
