Abstract Yangshan gold belt (YSGB) in Gansu Province is a super‐large orogenic gold deposit located in the middle section of the Mianxian‐Lueyang arcuate suture zone (Mian‐Lue suture zone). The YSGB is mainly divided into the Gejiaowan, Anba, and Gaoloushan mine sections. The ore veins are strictly controlled by strong strain zones in the fracture zone and secondary fractures superimposed on the inherited activity and are vein‐like in general and lenticular in localities. For a long time, there have been different understandings regarding its ore‐controlling factors and mineral genesis. By utilizing controlled‐source audio‐frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) technology to conduct electrical characteristic studies, the deep electrical structural characteristics of the Gaoloushan section are identified, and a tectonically‐controlled geoelectric model of the deposit is established, which provides geophysical evidence for the view that the Yangshan gold mine is a tectonically‐controlled low‐temperature hydrothermal deposit in altered rock, guiding the arrangement of exploration work and identifying prospective mining areas, and thereby providing a geophysical exploration paradigm for deep exploration of large orogenic gold deposits.
