The Xingfengshan gold deposit, located in the central part of the Xuefengshan arc uplift belt, is a typical quartz lode gold deposit hosted in Neoproterozoic meta- metamorphic rocks. This deposit has been mined for gold for more than 30 years. Recently, skarn and tungsten orebodies with high ore grades in skarns were first discovered by writer in this gold deposit. The newly- discovered skarn- type tungsten deposit is obviously different from those lode- type tungsten deposits, which are widespread throughout the Xuefengshan arc uplift belt. Skarn is common throughout the Xingfengshan ore district, however, it was not identified during the past several decades. The skarn is concordant to the host slate and usually occurs in the bedded or stratiform form. Most scheelite occurs as bands or veinlets filling in the skarn, minor appears in the auriferous quartz veins. Generally speaking, the tungsten concentrations in skarn- type ores are relatively high in the Xingfengshan, with an average of more than 0.5% WO3 for most mining levels, even as high as more than 3.0% WO3 for a few mining levels. Based on its strata- bound characteristics and its reduced signature, it can be concluded that the accumulations of tungsten ores in the Xingshanfeng ore district is abundant. The discovery of skarn- type tungsten orebodies with an extremely- high ore grade in the Xingfengshan ore district will bring abundant tungsten resources, and yield remarkable social and economic benefits, moreover, this new finding is crucial for the understanding of the felsic magma evolution and tungsten—gold mineralization in central Hunan.
