Abstract: Central Jiangxi Province (27~28°N latitude) is rich in gold resources and with favorable mineralizing conditions.There is a series of source beds for gold.Multistage structural-magmatic activities have taken place.Some gold deposits and prospects were found recently.Based on the characteristics of known deposits, an empirical model for gold prospecting is established as follow'. Proterozoic-early Paleozoic (volcanic) sedimental-metamorphic rock series are regarded as the mineralizing background, in which the potential areas for gold are within the epimetamorphic rocks of the regional metamorphic belt, within the positions with developed faults, and within the places where there are both Caledonian Yanshanian acidintermediate intrusives or intermediate-basic dikes and gold mineralization.
