沙泉子铁(铜)矿, 沙泉子, 哈密市 (قۇمۇل شەھىرى), 哈密地区 (قۇمۇل ۋىلايىتى), 新疆维吾尔自治区, 中国
Skarn-type iron-(copper) deposit, hosted in Lower Carboniferous volcanic rocks, which are intercalated with limestone of the Yamansu Formation. The skarn ore bodies developed near the contacts of late Paleozoic granite plutons and limestones. Magnetite, the main iron ore mineral, formed early during skarn paragenesis, whereas chalcopyrite and pyrite developed later and typically replace magnetite. The magnetite also occurs as quartz-calcite-sulphide veins that cut the skarn and iron ore bodies.
