Abstract
The Zheboshan gold deposit, which is located in the ''Gold Triangle'' area on the borders of Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, is a very complicated micro-fine disseminated gold deposit. Considering the ICP -MS measurements and Rb and Sr isotope data, it is suggested that the ore-forming materials may have come from the quartz-amphibole porphyri te dykes. It is also suggested that the age of ore deposit is generall y consistent with the age of formation of the quartz-amphibole porphyr ite. It is further deduced that the deposit is a magmatic hydrothermal ore deposit.
