A PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE ORE-CONTROLLED STRUCTURE IN THE XITAN GOLD MINE,XINJIANG

The Xitan gold deposit is of a quartz vein-type with little sulfides.Their locations of appearance and spatial distribution are related to the repeated activities of the Qlugemingtashi ductile shear zone and the major Kushui fault and the resulting lower order structutes.It was considered to be controlled by a brush structure.Several geophysical prospecting profiles laid out on this basis have revealed some gold anomalies Therefore the brush structure can serve as one of the bases for gold prediction in this region.
