Abstract:
Lyuliangshan copper deposit of Qinghai Province is located in the northern margin of the junction between Qaidam block and South Qilian block, and is one of the important polymetallic deposits in Western China. By studying the geological characteristics of Lyuliangshan copper deposit, the authors summarized the geological characteristics of the deposit. The ore bodies of the deposits are hosted in the metavolcanite of Cambrian-Ordovician Tanjianshan Group. The wall rock alteration is associated with silication, pyritization, chloritization, epidotization and sericitization. The main ore types are copper-bearing quratz vein type and copper-bearing altered rock type. Lyuliangshan copper deposit is of an alteration type in fracture zones. Above all, the authors summarized the ore-controlling factors and indicated the prospecting direction, and provided some new ideas for the copper exploration in Qinghai Province.
