Elements Spatial Distribution and Ore Prospecting of the No.II Porphyry Copper - Gold Deposit in the Xiongcun District, Tibet

Abstract:

Xiongcun district is located in the western segment of the Gangdese porphyry copper belt, Tibet. Exploration activities in the No.I, No.II and No.III deposits in the past decade suggest that it would be a large prospective for porphyry copper-gold resources. In this paper, we focus on the systematical research of the elements spatial distribution of the No.II porphyry copper-gold deposit in the Xiongcun district. The results show, from center to the outer parts of the orebody, the elements distribution can be divided into Cu, Au, Ag, K, Mo and Ba → Co, Ni and Mn → Na and Ca → Pb, Zn, Cd, Bi, Sb and As. The No.II deposit is still open down-dip to the north and along the NW-striking, it need to conduct additional exploration.
