The variety of the ore-forming element concentrations, determined by the geodynamic genesis of metallogenic system, bears strongly random and chaos features. Identifying the characteristics of ore-forming elements is significant for better understanding the ore-forming process and mineral prospecting. In this paper, the technique of phase space reconstruction is applied to study the chaotic characteristics of gold grade series from intensely mineralized drift and barely mineralized drifts in Dayingezhuang Deposit, Jiaodong Gold Province, China. The results show that the largest Lyapunov exponents are above zero, and correlation fractal dimensions are non-integer, showing the chaotic phenomena in the gold enrichment processes. The gold grade series of intensely mineralized drift exhibits stronger chaotic characteristics than the barely mineralized drifts. By quantifying the chaotic characteristics of the ore-forming elements' series of a typical deposit, a new method is provided for the identification of mineralization intensity, and to further determine the theoretical basis and scientific foundation of the extent of deposit concentration and delineation of the target mineralization zone.
