The Zhesang gold deposit, which located in the structural belt of Yunnan-Guzhou-Guangxi gold triangle area and controlled by Guangnan-Funing fault, is a typical Carlin gold deposit. There were eight gold ore bodies and most hosted in the upper Permian Wujiaping formation. The formation experienced three stages, sedimentary diagenesis, hydrothermal mineralization and supergenic oxidation. Pyrites and arsenopyrites are the two major Aubearing minerals. Gangue minerals like quartz are closely related with gold mineralization.
