    Abstract:

    Abstract:The Baolun gold deposit, as one of the large gold deposits found in Hainan Province recently, is a structurally controlled, magmatic-hydrothermal gold deposit formed in the Indosinian. In the gold district there outcrop the Lower Silurian Tuolie Formation low-grade metamorphic series and Indosinian red clastic rocks, and in addition Indosinian granite is distributed on its northwest side. The NNE-trending Haogangling fault and the NNW-trending fracture zone in the hanging wall of the fault form the basic structural framework of the ore district. Magnetic fabric analysis indicates that: flattening deformation predominates in phyllite of the district; the principal compressive stress is oriented in a nearly E-W direction; the structural deformation was stronger before the mineralization thermal event and weaker after mineralization. The structural stress field in the mineralization stage is featured by E-W extension (the principal compressive stress was oriented in a N-S direction). The NNW-trending fracture zone is the main ore-hosting (ore-bearing) structure, which exerts an important controlling effect on the shape, attitude, scale and special distribution of the gold orebodies.
