The intrusive rocks in the Fuzishan deposit are mainly quartz diorite and minor granodiorite porphyry. The quartz diorite shows a close spatial relationship with the orebody and is considered to be related with the Fuzishan Cu-Mo mineralization.
Nine orebodies have been explored in the Fuzishan deposit containing a reserve of 17,374 t Cu and 33 t Mo, with average grades of 0.86% and 0.042%, respectively. Except for the major No. I and No. II orebodies, there also occur seven small orebodies. Most of the orebodies are hosted in the skarn of the contact zone between the quartz diorite and the carbonate rocks of the Lower Permian Maokou Formation and show lenticular or bedded shapes. The No. I orebody is situated west of the mining area, which extends NW with length of 150 m and width of 2–20 m and dips to the north at an angle of more than 60° along a distance of 230 m. This orebody occurs at an altitude of +120 m to −110 m and simply comprises copper ores, with an average Cu grade of 0.88%. The No. II orebody occurs in the east part of the mining area. It is 485.5 m in length along the east-west trend, 2.9–27.79 m in width, with a dip up to 40° to the north, extending 592.5 m. Besides, the No. II orebody occurs in an altitude ranging from +115 m to −530 m and consists of copper and molybdenum ores with average Cu and Mo grades of 1.78% and 0.063%, respectively.
