Title: The Mineralization Age of the Gupao Gold Deposit, Guangxi
Abstract: The Dayaoshan, which has nearly 200 gold deposits (or mineralization points), is one of the most important gold deposits distribution areas in Guangxi, and the Gupao gold deposit is an important representative one. Previous researches have carried out numerous works there to guide the gold prospecting work. Due to multiple episodes of gold mineralization and multiple sources materials in ore-forming, there are heated debates on the era of the mine, and the main mineralization age of the Gupao gold deposit is focused on the Caledonian or Early Yanshanian. According to the distribution characteristics of the gold ore body showing in the Zhilong, Gulinao, and Dawangding gold deposit, the discussion of macro-tectonic setting of the area, as well as the comparative study of surrounding gold deposits, we conclude that the main mineralization age of the Dawangding gold deposit is Early Yanshanian, and the main mineralization may be controlled by the nearly east-west trending fold which was caused by the north-south extrusion.
