Abstract:
Xujiagou copper deposit lies in the northwest of Tongchang ore field in the central MianxianLueyangYangpingguan copper polymetallic mineralizationintensive area. The ore body is hosted within the schistose spilite zone of middleupper Proterozoic, and 13 orebodies have been delineated, but most of orebodies are blind. The mineralization consists mainly of pyritizationpyrrhotitizationschistositied spilite, indicating a volcanic sedimentarytectonics and magmatic reformation type copper deposit. The spilite of Guojiagou Formation is the source of copper mineralization. The nearly EWstriking schistose structure zone in spilite provides channels and space for enrichment of oreforming material. The Tongchang diorite provides mineralization with dynamics and thermal source, especially sulfur. The formation of the Xujiagou copper deposit is controlled jointly by abovementioned stratum, structure and intrusive rock.
