Thermoluminescence characters of quartz from silicified breccia, which is related to mineralization, in Shuikoushan deposit, Hunan provinces, were analyzed. The TL characters of quartz are closely related to mineralization and can reflect the ore-forming information. The TL intensity (peak value) of quartz has direct correlation to the ore-forming intensity, that is, when the NTL peak value is larger the ore-forming intensity is also larger. The NTL emission peaks at 310°C-330°C reflect the intensive Au mineralization, and the ATL emission pe...
