Geochemistry of stream sediments and its implication for ore-finding, Dayoushan, Jiangxi Province

Dayoushan area has become a focus of potential ore-finding areas since the discovery of Zhuxi tungsten-copper deposit, a super-large-scale tungsten-copper deposit in the region. Based on the geochemical survey data of stream sediments at the scale of 1:50000, this paper discusses the content, distribution, assemblage, and comprehensive anomalies of ore-forming elements in the Dayushan area. The results show that the Zhuxi area and Changyuanwu area are potential for ore-finding of tungsten and copper, and both areas are with large scale intensive geochemical anomalies which are related to ore-forming of tungsten and copper. We believe that Zhuxi area is a prospective area for W and Cu and Changyuanwu area is a prospective area for W and Bi.
