The Paiting Hg-Au deposit is a medium-sized Au deposit (average gold grade of 4.05 g tβˆ’1) and the largest gold deposit in the Sandu-Danzhai Hg-Au-Sb metallogenic belt. The ore-hosting structures are the NE-striking faults, minor faults, and X-type shear faults. The orebodies appear in irregular veined, bedded, lenticular, and podiform shapes. The Paiting Hg-Au deposit is mainly controlled by the NNE- and NW-striking faults (i.e., the Wuwan fault and the Xiongqi fault), both of which are regional faults. The Wuwan fault is a reverse fault that dips to the east with a dip of 70Β°, which is composed of cataclasite, breccia, and mylonite in the fault zone.
