    Abstract:

    Copper resources in China are rich, but imported copper resources are still required. Based on data of 814 copper ore deposits and other ore (mineralized) occurrences, ten prediction types of copper ore have been updated. Porphyry and skarn copper ores are taken as the key prediction types. Porphyry copper resources are the most important one which concentrates in Gangdese, Changdu-Sanjiang, Dexing and East Tianshan. The Cenozoic and Mesozoic are the major metallogenic epochs. Four main metallogenic epochs are been studied based on the copper ore geochronological data. Based on the study of metallogenic series of metal deposits in China, twenty-seven metallogenic series of copper ore deposits are proposed. This is suggested to deepen the study of metallogenic regularity of copper ore and provide the theory guide for copper resources prediction in China.
