Geological Characteristics of the Xingyuanchong Copper Deposit2.1 Ore Body OccurrenceThe Xingyuanchong copper deposit is mainly distributed in the limestone layer of the lower Silurian system. The ore body is controlled by the stratigraphic structure and show
3、s mainly in the bedding shape-controlled structure. The mineralization degree and the continuity of the copper deposit are good. The copper ore mainly exists in the form of disseminated sulfide minerals, with the main sulfide minerals being chalcopyrite, followed by pyrite and minor amounts of sphal
4、erite and galena. 2.2 Rock TypeThe host rock of the Xingyuanchong copper deposit is mainly limestone, and a small amount of dolomite rocks can be seen in the mine area. The limestone is mainly composed of fine-grained calcite, and there are abundant fossils.2.3 Tectonic Settings The Xingyuanchong co
5、pper deposit is located in the southeast margin of the Yangtze craton. The study area is controlled by the Gan-Hang tectonic belt and is located in the northwest-trending Meijiang-Hailang tectonic belt. The deposit is located on the southeastern slope of the Late Paleozoic Meiwu uplift. The deposit
6、is located in the northwest-southeast direction, and the mineralization is mainly controlled by NWW-NW-trending extensional faults and fractures.2.4 Ore Control StructureThe Xingyuanchong copper deposit is mainly controlled by the lithostratigraphic structure and is in the shape-controlled strata. T
7、he ore body is mainly located on the fracture zone of the second and third marble layers of the lower Silurian system. The copper ore is mainly distributed in the small fissures of the stratiform copper deposit, and the disseminated textures are also developed.2.5 Characteristics of the Oxidation Zo
8、neThe general composition of the oxidation zone of the Xingyuanchong copper deposit is sulfide minerals that have been oxidized, and the mineral types have changed significantly. Sulfide minerals such as chalcopyrite, pyrite, and sphalerite have been replaced by various secondary minerals such as ma
9、lachite, azurite, and limonite. The structure of the ore body has changed after the oxidation, and the thickness of the ore has also changed.3. Discussion on the Formation Mechanism of the Xingyuanchong Copper Deposit 3.1 Weathering StageThe Xingyuanchong copper deposit experienced a certain amount
10、of weathering before the formation of the ore body, resulting in the formation of a complete karst system. The karst system has provided favorable channels for the infiltration of mineralizing fluids and played an important role in the occurrence of copper mineralization.3.2 Oxidation StageThe Xingy
11、uanchong copper deposit had a long period of oxidation before the formation of the ore body. The copper ore underwent a series of oxidation and bioleaching processes under the action of atmospheric oxygen and microorganisms to form a leaching enrichment zone.3.3 Enrichment StageThe Xingyuanchong cop
12、per deposit went through a certain period of downward migration of copper ions and then rose upward to form a copper enrichment zone. The copper ions were primarily transported by sulfide complexes and then deposited in the surrounding rock pores, fractures, and voids.3.4 Sulfurization StageThe Xing
13、yuanchong copper deposit had strong sulfurization at the end of the overall mineralization. During the sulfurization stage, the orebody was reconstructed, and the original carbonate minerals in the gangue rock were replaced by sulfide minerals. The occurrence pattern of the ore body was altered, and
14、 the copper mineralization became more concentrated.4. ConclusionThe Xingyuanchong copper deposit is a typical copper deposit. Through field research and analysis, it can be concluded that the formation mechanism of the deposit mainly involves a series of complex geological processes such as weather
15、ing, oxidation, enrichment, and sulfurization. The occurrence of the deposit is closely related to the geological structure, and the formation of the deposit is mainly controlled by stratigraphic structure, bedding shape-controlled structure, and NWW-NW-trending extensional faults and fractures. The
16、 study of the Xingyuanchong copper deposit not only provides valuable guidance for prospecting work in the region but also has important reference value for the research of copper deposits under similar geological conditions.5. Factors Controlling the Formation of the Xingyuanchong Copper Deposit5.1 LithologyThe host rock of the Xingyuanchong copper deposit is mainly limestone. Limes
