Abstract: According to the geochemical data of debris at 1∶10 000 in Muru area，the multivariate statistics methods，like the factor analysis method is applied to investigate the geochemical characteristics of this area.Three element groups are marked out：Sb-Pb-Ag，Cu-Zn-Bi-As and W-Au-Mo.Furthermore，the contour plot of the factor score is drawn.Based on this，the prospecting direction is discussed so as to narrow the range of prospecting target.The geological features of this area indicated that the ore-forming fluid which is related to the gold mineralization sources from magmatic hydrotherm，and migrated from southwest to northeast along the NE trending fault.Besides discovering the gold ore bodies，there is the prospecting potential for finding the magmatic-hydrothermal related Cu-Zn ore bodies in the Muru area.

Key words: Muru area, Multivariate statistics, Geochemical analysis
