This paper gives an introduction to Chinas gold mineral resources characteristics, exploration, development and processing technology, and aimed at gold crisis mines, analyzes gold concentrating areas potential combined with recent discoveries. Chinas gold deposits are characterized by regional concentrating, structural controlling, temporal concentrating, medium to small size, middle grade, large associated gold percentage, and diversified categories, and less open pit mining. Recent a patch of large to super large gold deposits have been discovered in Xinjiang, Sanjiang and ShaanxiGansuSichuan triangle areas. The newlyadded gold resources from 2006 to 2012 is about 650 t. China has basically formed a complete gold industry science and research system, but it is still difficult to exploit and utilize difficultprocessing gold ore resources.Development of mining in western China and deep prospecting in eastcentral China are two principal prospecting orientations.
