湖南砂金资源丰富,广泛分布于湘、资、沅三大流域近80条较大的河流、阶地及洞庭湖滨。据统计,在全省近千处金矿床(点)中,砂金矿床(点)占总数的48.68％。砂金矿具有点多面广、探采容易、投资少、见效快、成本低等优点,因而得到广泛开发。随着20世纪80年代掀起的全国黄金热潮,湖南砂金资源的勘探与开发工作得到较大发展。在砂金资源勘探方面,先后对六个砂金集中产区投入地质勘探工作,提交了七份砂金地质报告。在砂金资源开发方面,七·五期间先后新建了一批企业,形成×××万m~3/a的砂金生产规模和×××kg/a产量生产能力,为湖南砂金资源的开发积累了经 Hunan is rich in gold resources and is widely distributed in nearly 80 large rivers, terraces and Dongting Lake in the three major basins of Hunan, capital and Yuan. According to statistics, of the nearly 1,000 gold deposits (spots) in the province, placer gold deposits (spots) account for 48.68% of the total. Gold and gold ore has a wide range of points, exploration and mining easy, less investment, quick, low cost, which has been widely developed. With the national gold craze set off in the 1980s, great efforts have been made to explore and develop the gold resources in Hunan. In terms of gold resources exploration, geological exploration work has been put into six gold concentrate producing areas and submitted seven gold gold geological reports. In terms of the development of gold resources, a number of new enterprises have been newly established during the period of July 5 to form a production capacity of ××××× m ~ 3 / a of placer gold and ××× kg / a production capacity, which has accumulated the development of gold resources in Hunan through
