Statistic Prediction of Potential Gold Resource in
Based on the national basic geological database, such as China Regional Geochemical Survey Data Base etc., statistic prediction of potential gold resource of China was carried out in term of gold metallogenic provinces. According to distribution of the information content anomaly, geotectonic background and the main ore-control factors, sixty four gold prospects were identified in China. Then information content transference method is adopted to estimate total gold resource of 43 500 t and potential gold resource of 36 500 t respectively to depth of 1 000 m beneath the surface.
