Modeling experiments for the metallogenic model of the Jinping gold deposits, southeastern Guizhou, China.

Abstract：Modeling experiments for the metallogenic model of the Jinping gold deposits, eastern Guizhou, were performed with the experimental instruments at the State Key Laboratory of Mineral Deposit Geochemistry, Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Through the shear experiment, deformation and rupture experiment, ore-forming material remobilization experiment, metallogenic model modeling experiment and several stress experiments, the authors found that ore-forming materials occurred in the modes of broken grain flow and plastic flow filling along and across bedding and concentrated in the cores of folds, and through several stress experiment the ore-forming materials were stacked and concentrated. The experimental results have preliminarily demonstrated the metallogenic model of the Jinping quartz vein gold deposits and provided important scientific experimental data for the structural control of gold deposits in the area and also furnished useful information for the study of the metallogenic characteristics of gold deposits and further gold prospecting in the area.
