Jinlongshan gold zone, positioning in southern Qinling sedimentary rocks, is characterized by equidistantlydistributing gold mineralization concentrating sites. Gold deposits are hosted in the upper Devonian Nanyangshan formation (D^₃n) and the lower Carboniferous Yuanjiagou formation (C₁y) carbonaceous shale, silty calcareous shale, siltstone and marlstone (sandy). Formation of ore bodies is a consequence of SN major stress in several structural zones, EW-striking complex folded zone, NW-striking right strike-slip fault and NE-striking tension-shear fault, where is a favorable gold mineralization location by a conjuction of multiple-phased structures.
