Through the above-mentioned study,the authors infer preliminarily that the deposit is a hot-spring gold deposit.

There are a lot of modern hot springs in western Sichuan Province, China, but little knowledge has been obtained about the Au contents related to these hot springs.

The comparison in modern hot spring microbe and ancient hydrothermal systems indicates that they have similar structural characteristics.

On the basis of the geomicrobiologic ecology, the major microbial groups and their gold biomineralization were studied in some major hot springs in Yunnan and Tibet.
