The Funiushan ore deposit is a gold-bearing skarn type copper deposit with the average grade of associated gold being 0.36 g/t and that of associated silver being l2.45 g/t. Fairly detailed studies have been made on the mode of occurence of associated gold by using various analytical methods such as correlation analysis, partition calculation, ore microscopic observation, transmission electron microscopy, separate dissolution and phase analysis. The results show that the presence of gold is closely related to chalcopyrite, and that gold occurs in three forms, i.e. microscopic gold, submicroscopic gold and a small amount of lattice gold, with the last two forms mainly existent in pyrite.
