Epithermal Cu-Au deposit, with typical characteristics of both high-sulfidation and low-sulfidation mineralization styles.
The Xiongcun CuβAu ore district is composed of the No. I deposit, No. II deposit, and No. III deposit, and the proven resources of the deposit are 238 Mt Cu, 219 t Au, and 1049 t Ag. The No. I deposit and No. II deposit were formed by two individual mineralization events according to molybdenite ReβOs dating and mineralization characteristics. The No. I deposit is similar to a reduced porphyry copperβgold deposit, given the absence of magnetite, anhydrite, and hematite; widespread occurrence of primary and/or hydrothermal pyrrhotite; and common CH4-rich and rare N2-rich fluid inclusions. The No. II deposit, similar to classic oxidized porphyry copperβgold deposits, contains highly oxidized minerals, including magnetite, anhydrite, and hematite. This indicates that the chemistry of hydrothermal fluids and their evolution within the No. I and No. II deposits are different.
Located about 240 km SW of Lhasa.
