Abstract:There have a great number of copper ore occurrences in ZhaShan basin of Qinling orogenic belt, most of which belong to porphyry type, hydrothermal exhalative type, and reformed type. It is concluded that these ore occurrence may attribute to magmahydrothermalsedimentary metallogenic series combined with late prospecting result and comprehensive research advance. On the basis of analyzing geological features of copper deposits and judging by principal copper deposits exploration examples, integrating geological, geophysical, and geochemic prospecting information, it is proposed that effective exploration methods are high precision magnetic measurement, magnetotelluric sounding locating, and drill confirmation, which provided new prospecting thoughts and methods for exploring copper ore deposit in the ZhaShan region.
