Based on the gold metallogenic map of China (1 : 4 000 000) combined with ore deposit investigations , spatial distribution and fractal distribution in two scale ranges of the gold deposits in China are studied and discussed. The fractal dimensions of the box-counting method are 0. 3333 from 5 to 80 km and 1. 3259 from 80 to 2400 km respectively; the fractal dimensions of the density method are 1. 2033 from 5 to 80 km and 1. 5459 from 80 to 2400 km respectively. The fractal distribution of gold deposits gives strong support to the theory about the control of the margins of convergent structures of the supercontinent circle on the gold deposit distribution and met-allogeny.
