The new progress in ore prospecting within Daxing’anling mineralization belt, China

Recently, a number of potential mineralization points have been found in the western of Daxing′anling mineralization belt through 1:50000 perspective survey and evaluation of mineral resources by Geological Survey Institute of Inner Mongolia. Five mineralization points have been partial investigated in detail. One of them may be a large-scale mineral deposit, and others are medium-scale deposits. By general survey, polymetal mineralization of two points are better and may be become certain-sized mineral deposits. Based on metallogenic geological conditions, geophysical and geochemical anomalies and general investigation hole, the deposits of above might have the potential to expand. Comprehensive analyses of the mineral and ore-forming geological conditions, there have better prospects in the two areas discussed in this article, and they are from Erlian to Dongwuqi and from Aershan through Lizishan to Boketu. If further geological survey works were done, there would have a major breakthrough in exploration.
