  ABSTRACT: The Oudiane Elkharoub Zone is one of the major areas of the Reguibat Shield due to its position in the extreme northeast of the Birimian formation (dated between 1.6 and 2.7 Ga) within the Reguibat Shield, coupled with its closeness to with the Archean Domain in the Shield’s southern portion and with the Taoudeni Basin to the east. The results of field mapping, together with chemical (Fire Assay) and XRF (fluorescence spectrometer X-ray) analyses, shows significant Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, Mn, Cr, Ni, Th and Y anomalies in samples taken from the Oudiane Elkharoub Zone. The results of those analyses will allow us to build a geochemistry maps for the anomalous metal for the study area, understand the relationships between different rock units and the mineralization and the mineralization control and their style, such as structural or lithological control. This context reflects a structural control of the Mineralization according to the conducted analyses and the observation on the field. The mineralization auriferous mainly hosted in quartz vein or quartz-carbonate vein with sulfide (pyrrhotite and pyrite) alteration.
