Through analysis of geological characteristics of the gold deposit，the shape，occurrence，and spatial distribution of ore- controlling fault plane in the Shanhou mining area were investigated，and the regularities of enrichment and emplacement of ore body were summarized． The analysis shows that the Shanhou gold deposit was controlled by NE- NNE Zhaoping fault zone; the fault gouge developed in fault zone provides a barrier to ore-bearing hydrothermal solution，and the industrial ore body is all distributed within 40 m of footwall of main fault plane． The industrial ore body is mainly enriched in the NE positions of fault where the deep dips changed to flat dips，and shows the obvious regularity of NE lateral trending with angle around 75°． The stress analysis of fault in mineralization epoch showed that the ore- controlling structure presented the characteristics of right- handed rotation inverse- fault activity in mineralization epoch，and the host space tended to occur in NE regional tension positions where the dips become flat in the strike of fault，causing emplacement of ore body． It is thought by combining equal interval distribution of deposit with spatial variation of industrial ore body and ore- controlling fault structure that the Shanhou gold deposit recurred in regularity and the non- ore interval occurred in the ore body． Meanwhile， it is predicted that the favorable target area of prospecting lies in the areas of deep main fault plane with NE strike ( ＞30°) and the deep dips changing to flat dips in the Shanhou mining area， and the prospecting should be emphasized． The favorable deep mineralization prospect exists in middle Beibo mining area，where is the key area for future prospecting．
