Quantitative Study of Elements Migration during the Wall Rock Alteration Process for Gejiu Copper-Polymetallic Deposit inside Rock

Abstract:

With continuous consumption of proven resources, people have to turn to new resources or find new ways for prospecting. As to Yunnan Gejiu Tin and copper polymetallic deposit, deep ore prospecting may be the solution. The newly discovered copper-polymetallic deposit inside the rock of Tangzi’ao depression zone, which located in western part of Yunnan Gejiu east tin mine area, is a new type of deposit in deep ore prospecting. This kind of deposit produced in the alkali-rich, oxidizing environment, potash feldspathization is an important sign of prospecting, and a variety of metallic elements can be comprehensive utilization. It is special that potash feldspathization zone and epidotization zone alternating with each other; the phenomenon may caused by multi-period of hydrothermal fluids. By quantitative calculating the results of altered rocks and original rock samples, the author find out the migration laws of the constant elements and the main ore-forming elements and their associated elements, which provide a basis for prospecting in the future.
