Laowanggou gold deposit is located in the west of east Hercynian Lixian-Zhashui fold belt, which belongs to Qinling fold system between Tangzang-Danfeng-Shangnan fault and Lixian-Fengzhen-Shanyang fault. According to the analysis on regional geological features and ore deposit geological characteristics of Laowangou, such as the strata, tectonic, lithology, and wall rock alteration and so on, the orebody should be controlled by the fault fracture, the gold mineralization disseminated in sulfide quartz veinlet and nets of arteries of tectonic belt. It is the tectonic altered rock type gold deposit.
