Abstract: The Shatanjiao area is located in the east of the Tongling ore concentration area，on the edge of the eastern section of the Tongling-Nanling polymetallic metallogenic belt，adjacent to the Fan⁃ chang Volcanic Basin in the north and Xuannan Basin in the south，with favorable metallogenic conditions. According to the previous data of the area and the new survey results of gravity，magnetic and soil geochem⁃ istry of the beach foot，combined with the latest ore-finding or disclosure information of the surrounding de⁃ posits，a comprehensive analysis is carried out on the deep edge of the discovered deposits around the Shat⁃ anjiao area rock mass and the coverage area with insufficient exploration work. It is considered that there is a prospecting potential for copper polymetallic deposits in the deep edge of the known deposits such as Wanziguo，Jinziwei and Daiyaoshan around the Shatanjiao rock mass and in the Baizhaochong area.

Key words: Shatanjiao area, copper polymetallic ore, geological features, prospecting
