Abstract: Xiguanzhuang-Zhenping fault zone belongs to Shangdan fault zone，which is an important precious metal metallogenic belt，extending from the boundary between Henan and Shaanxi Province to Nanyang Basin.Through the investigation of the whole fault zone and the key research of Jiucaigou-Muxiongshan area，the regional geochemical characteristics，regional resources characteristics and metallogenic geological characteristics of the both sides of Xiguangzhuang-Zhenping fault zone （study area） are analyzed，and prospecting indicators of the study area are summarized.The study results show that:①gold ore veins in the area are mainly controlled by the secondary structure of Xiguanzhuang-Zhenping fault zone；②further activation and migration of the metallogenic elements and associated elements are caused by Xiguanzhuang-Zhenping fault zone and its secondary structures，with the change of physical and chemical conditions，the metallogenic elements and associated elements are deposited and enriched in favorable areas，thus the gold deposit is formed；③the occurrence location of orebodies can be directly indicated by the geochemical anomalies and geophysical anomalies with high resistivity and high polarization that are superimposed by secondary structures of Xiguanzhuang-Zhenping fault zone and dominated by gold element；④by comparison analysis，the study area and Laowan gold deposit have similar characteristics of geotectonic location，altered characteristics and geophysical and geochemical anomalies.Based on the above study results，three prospecting target areas in the study area are delineated，and the prospecting clues such as mineralized points and geophysical and geochemical anomalies with large scale are found in the prospecting target areas，which show that the prospecting potential of them is good，they are worth conducting further prospecting and exploration work.
