The Kangguertage ductile shear zone in western China is an important gold ore-controlling belt, where important deposits such as Kangguer, Matoutan and Shiyingtan are found. The West Yemaquan gold ore deposit, typical of the ductile shear zone ore-controlling type, is situated along the eastern shear zone extension-the Kushui-Yamansu ductile shear zone. A new dataset created from estimation of resources in the West Yemaquan gold ore deposit uses the geological ore block method, utilizing data on coordinates of mineral prospecting sites and results obtained from the analytic testing of samples collected during field geological survey in sites within the West Yemaquan Goldfield. All samples for the dataset were tested by national testing centers owning Level-A certificate. The qualified rates from both internal and external inspection are over 90%, indicating that the data are credible and provide important referential implications for the estimation of surrounding deposits of the same kind.
