Abstract
The Womagou Au-Cu polymetallic deposit is distributed in the Elashan area of Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai. It is located in the Zhiyi-Tongyugou Cu-Pb-Zn-Sn-Au-Barite IV metallogenic belt on the east side of the East Kunlun metallogenic belt, and is an important polymetallic mineralization area in Qinghai. There are a large number of Cu polymetallic mines in this area, and thus this ore belt has a very important position in China. This area is not only very complex in structure, but also shows the characteristics of multi-cycle evolution, and it belongs to a very important structural knot in west China. Au in the area has a good correlation with Cu and Ag, presenting great mineralization potential. In the future, it is needed to strengthen the prospecting of related Ag deposits in this area.
