Altered rock type gold deposit.
Archean rocks are widely exposed in the deposit, including the Archean Taihua Group and Neoarchean Lanshugou Formation. The Taihua Group is exposed in the southwestern part of the deposit area and consists of TTG gneiss, granulite, and migmatite. The Lanshugou Formation is >1230 m thick and is characterized by grayish-green chlorite schist, quartz schist, and amphibolite schist. There are many faults in the deposit, which mostly strike northwest, north–south, and less commonly, nearly east–west. The F01 and F09 faults are parallel and mainly control the distribution of orebodies in the Shenjiayao gold deposit.
The Shenjiayao gold deposit consists of four orebodies, with a total proven reserve of 8.50 t Au. The X01, X09, S2, and S3 orebodies are the major orebodies in the Shenjiayao deposit and hosted in the F01 fault. The X01 orebody is approximately 1.2 km long, with a strike of 330Β° and a dip of 21°–36Β° SW.
